The mechanism of NADPH-dependent lipid peroxidation. The propagation of lipid peroxidation.

NADPH-dependent lipid peroxidation occurs in two distinct sequential radical steps. The first step, initiation, is the ADP-perferryl ion-catalyzed formation of low levels of lipid hydroperoxides. The second step, propagation, is the iron-catalyzed breakdown of lipid hydroperoxides formed during initiation generating reactive intermediates and products characteristic of lipid peroxidation. Propagation results in the rapid formation of thiobarbituric acid-reactive material and lipid hydroperoxides. Propagation can be catalyzed by ethylenediamine tetraacetate-chelated ferrous ion, diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid-chelated ferrous ion, or by ferric cytochrome P-450. However, cytochrome P-450 is destroyed during propagation.

[Lipid peroxides and atherosclerosis. The content of lipid peroxidation products in the blood in ischemic heart disease].

It was established that the content of primary (acylhydroperoxide) and secondary (intermollecular "seams" in aminophospholipids) products of lipid peroxide oxidation in blood of patients with ischemic heart disease is increased against the background of hyperlipidemia and hypercholesterolemia. It is suggested that intensification of lipid peroxide oxidation may play a role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis.

Relationship between fatty acids and lipid peroxidation in lungs of neonates.

Triglycerides from the lungs of neonatal rats and mice were found to contain large amounts of the polyunsaturated fatty acids, arachidonate (20:4) and docosahexaeonoate (22:6). These fatty acids were diminished or absent in the triglycerides from the lungs of adult rats and mice and both neonatal and adult guinea pigs. No age-related changes were observed in the fatty acid composition of lung phospholipids in any of these species. The presence of arachidonic acid and docosahexaenoic acid in lung triglycerides correlated with the ability of these lungs to peroxidize lipids in vitro in all species. Depletion of lung triglycerides in neonatal rats by fasting abolished this lipid peroxidizing activity.

Inhibition of lipid peroxidation by calcium ions and their protection of steroid hydroxylase activity from peroxidative damage.

Lipid peroxidation of adrenocortical mitochondria and microsomes was greatly stimulated by addition of 1.0 mM or less ferric ions. In the presence of NADPH-yielding system, the formation of corticosterone from endogeneous cholesterol and exogeneous deoxycorticosterone was inhibited as the concentrations of iron increased. Of interest is the fact that 0.5 mM ferric ion-mediated lipid peroxidation was completely abroagated upon addition of 2 mM calcium ions. Accordingly, protected from the peroxidative damage.

Elevation of serum lipid peroxide level associated with doxorubicin toxicity and its amelioration by [dl]-alpha-tocopheryl acetate or coenzyme Q10 in mouse (doxorubicin, toxicity, lipid peroxide, tocopherol, coenzyme Q10).

Elevations of serum lipid peroxide levels were demonstrated in mice after an equitoxic dose of doxorubicin. When BDF1 mice were injected with doxorubicin (20 mg/kg body weight, IP), lipid peroxide levels in sera were elevated 1 day after the injection and the levels declined on subsequent days. 5-Fluorouracil (400 mg/kg body weight, IP) never changed the peroxide levels in serum. Furthermore, it was found that the co-administration of [dl]-alpha-tocopheryl acetate or coenzyme Q10 IM strongly inhibited the doxorubicin-induced elevation of lipid peroxides in serum. The effectiveness of [dl]-alpha-tocopheryl acetate or coenzyme Q10 in reducing the lethality of doxorubicin in mice was also confirmed. These results indicate that the measurement of serum 2-thiobarbituric acid-reacting substances provided a useful measurement of lipid peroxide levels, which may be involved in some way with doxorubicin toxicity, and that the administration of antioxidants provide protection against some of the side effects of doxorubicin.

[Lipid peroxides and atherosclerosis. The enzymatic detoxication of lipid peroxides in the blood in ischemic heart disease due to coronary artery arteriosclerosis].

It was established that in blood of patients with ischemic heart disease due to atherosclerosis of the coronary arteries (the diagnosis was verified in selective coronaroangiography) the content of acylhydroperoxides grows while the activity of glutathione-peroxidase II decreases. In blood of patients with no damage to the coronary vessels (according to the results of angiography), glutathione-peroxidase II activity does not differ significantly from the values in the control group. The decrease of glutathione-peroxidase II activity was most marked in patients with ischemic heart disease and hypercholesterolemia. It is suggested that the increase in the peroxide content in blood of patients with ischemic heart disease may be due to the sharp decrease in the activity of glutathione-peroxidase II.

Lipid peroxidation and its inhibition by tinoridine, II. Ascorbic acid-induced lipid peroxidation of rat liver mitochondria.

Incubation of rat liver mitochondrial suspension with ascorbic acid and Fe2+ resulted in the formation of malondialdehyde and a decrease in the turbidity of the suspension. The maximum amount of malondialdehyde formed during the peroxidation reaction was estimated to be 1 mol per approximately 6 mol of mitochondrial phospholipids. Tinoridine and alpha-tocopherol at the concentration of 5 micron and 1 mM, respectively, completely inhibited the peroxidative disintegration of mitochondria. From the relationship between the concentration of tinoridine and the amount of malondialdehyde formed, it was demonstrated that 1 mol of tinoridine prevents the formation of about 6 mol of malondialdehyde. These findings suggest that there is a limit in the chain reaction of the lipid peroxidation of mitochondria and that the limit is the membrane sphere which is capable of releasing 6 molecules of malondialdehyde and contains about 36 molecules of the constitutive phospholipids.

[Role of lipid peroxides in the pathogenesis of arteriosclerosis. Detoxication of lipid peroxides by the glutathione-peroxidase system in the aorta].

In aorta of intact rabbits the high activity of glutathione-peroxidase, which detoxicates lipoperoxides, was observed. In aorta of animals with pronounced experimental atheromatosis the enzyme activity did not distinctly differ from the control values. The animals with high initial content of glutathione-peroxidase in aorta were shown to be less subjected to the impairment in alimentary atherosclerosis.

Lipid peroxidation of the microsomal fraction and extracted microsomal lipids from DAB-induced hepatomas.

NADPH- and ascorbic acid-induced microsomal lipid peroxidation was almost absent in subcutaneously implanted DAB-induced hepatomas D23, D30 and D192A, and present at greatly reduced levels in DAB-induced primary hepatomas when compared with normal liver controls. Fatty acid analysis of the microsomal lipid from passaged tumours demonstrated adequate levels of substrate in the phospholipid fractions to support lipid peroxidation. Lipid extracted from hepatoma microsomal fractions was shown to undergo ascorbic acid-induced lipid peroxidation, but to a lesser extent that the corresponding liver extract. This may be partially explained by a decrease in the phospholipid content of hepatoma microsomal membranes. However, phospholipid extracted from microsomal fractions of hepatoma and liver supported lipid peroxidation to a similar extent. The possible role of the non-lipid component of the membrane in the process of lipid peroxidation is discussed.

Superoxide, hydrogen peroxide, and singlet oxygen in lipid peroxidation by a xanthine oxidase system.

1. Xanthine oxidase acting aerobically upon acetaldehyde was found to cause the peroxidation of linolenate. This was demonstrated by increased absorbance at 233 nm due to diene conjugation and by the detection of a lipid peroxide spot on the thin layer chromatograms. 2. Superoxide dismutase inhibited this lipid peroxidation, as did catalase, thus indicating that both O2- and H2O2 were essential intermediates. Scavengers of singlet oxygen also inhibited the peroxidation of linolenate, whereas scavengers of hydroxyl radical did not. These effects, which were observed in the absence of iron salts, led to the proposal that O2- and H2O2 can directly give rise to a singlet oxygen, as follows: O2- + H2O2 leads to OH- + OH. + O2. 3. This proposal was further supported through the use of 2,5-dimethylfuran, as an indicating scavenger of singlet oxygen. Thus, when this compound was exposed to a known source of singlet oxygen, it gave a product which was detectable by thin layer chromatography. This product was also observed when 2,5-dimethylfuran was exposed to the xanthine oxidase system, in which case its accumulation was prevented by superoxide dismutase or by catalase, but not by scavengers of hydroxyl radical.

Lipid peroxidation in isolated hepatocytes.

Intracellular lipid peroxidation was initiated by the addition of ADP-complexed ferric iron to isolated rat hepatocytes and the reaction monitored by the thiobarbituric acid method or by measurement of the formation of conjugated dienes. Both the production of malondialdehyde (thiobarbituric-acid-reacting substances) and of conjugated dienes was dependent, on the ADP-Fe-3+ concentration in a dose-related fashion. Malondialdehyde formation stopped spontaneously within 20 min after the initiation of the reaction and the plateau reached was also related to the ADP-Fe-3+ concentration. Control experiments revealed that more than 90% of the malondialdehyde accumulating during the incubation period could be ascribed to intracellular production. The cellular NADPH/NADP+ ratio was always high and only slightly decreased upon ADP-Fe-3+-induced lipid peroxidation which, however, was associated with a marked decrease in the cellular glutathione concentration. The rate of accumulation of malondialdehyde as well as the final level reached during ADP-Fe-3+-initiated lipid peroxidation was increased by the addition of chloral hydrate. This apparent stimulatory effect could, however, be ascribed to the inhibition of the mitochondrial oxidation of the malondialdehyde formed during cellular lipid peroxidation, thus allowing more malondialdehyde to accumulate during the process. ADP-Fe-3+-induced cellular lipid peroxidation was associated with a decrease in the concentration of glutathione. Also, lowering of the intracellular glutathione level by the addition of diethyl maleate or by simply preincubating the hepatocytes (up to 50 min) promoted the ADP-Fe-3+ malondialdehyde production and formation of conjugated dienes. Furthermore, when cellular glutathione concentration had been lowered by preincubation of the hepatocytes, significant malondialdehyde production could be observed even at ADP-Fe-3+ concentrations which were too low to induce measurable lipid peroxidation in fresh hepatocytes. It is thus concluded that glutathione has an important role in the cell defence against lipid peroxidation and suggested that the isolated hepatocytes provide a suitable experimental model system for the characterization of this and other possible cellular defence mechanisms and how they are affected by the nutritional status of the donor animal.

[Effect of lecithin on liver microsomal lipid peroxidation].

The effect of exogeneous (egg) lecithin on peroxidation of microsomal lipids was studied with the view of elucidating the role of various components of lipid substrate in the overall oxidation rate of the lipids. The following processes were studied a) NADPH-dependent microsomal lipid peroxidation in the presence of lecithin; b) ascorbate-dependent microsomal lipid peroxidation in the presence of lecithin; c) oxidation of lipid mixture, isolated from the microsomes, and that of lecithin in the presence of the Fe2+ + ascorbate system; 4) oxidation of lecithin induced by the Fe2+ + ascorbate system. It was found that in the presence of exogeneous lecithin the oxidation of microsomal lipids in inhibited, which is probably due to the peculiarities of lecithin oxidation. It was shown that the specific rate of lecithin oxidation is decreased with an increase in lecithin concentration. Possible mechanisms of lecithin effect on microsomal lipid peroxidation are discussed.

The consequences of lipid peroxidation in isolated hepatocytes.

Lipid peroxidation was initiated by the addition of either ADP-complexed Fe3+ or cumene hydroperoxide to isolated rat hepatocytes and the resultant biochemical and morphological alterations investigated. As previously observed with microsomes, malonaldehyde formation was associated with the inactivation of glucose-6-phosphatase. Inhibition of microsomal oxidative drug metabolism was correlated with the release and subsequent inactivation of NADPH-cytochrome c reductase, whereas cytochrome P-450 destruction occurred only in the presence of high concentrations of the organic hydroperoxide which were associated with extensive malonaldehyde formation. Under these conditions there were also marked ultrastructural alterations in the hepatocytes which were not apparent after incubation in the presence of iron (less than or equal to 187 muM Fe3+). The latter treatment was, however, associated with moderate biochemical effects such as glucose-6-phosphatase inactivation and increased membrane permeability. The cellular defence system against lipid peroxidation is discussed and it is concluded that the isolated liver cell system provides a valuable tool for the study of lipid peroxidation and its pathological implications.

Immunochemical study on the pathway of electron flow in reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-dependent microsomal lipid peroxidation.

NADH could support the lipid peroxidation of rat liver microsomes in the presence of ferric ions chelated by ADP(ADP-Fe). The reaction had a broad pH optimum (pH 5.8--7.4) and was more active in the acidic pH range. Antibodies to NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase [EC 1.6.2.2] and cytochrome b5 inhibited NADH-dependent lipid peroxidation in the presence of ADP-Fe, whereas the antibody against NADPH-cytochrome c reductase [EC 1.6.2.4] showed no inhibition. These oberservations suggest that the electron from NADH was supplied to the lipid peroxidation reaction via NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase and cytochrome b5. On the other hand, NADPH-supported lipid peroxidation was strongly inhibited by the antibody against NADPH-cytochrome c reductase, confirming the participation of this this flavoprotein in the NADPH-dependent reaction. In the presence of both ADP-Fe and ferric ions chelated by EDTA(EDTA-Fe), NADH-dependent lipid peroxidation was highly stimulated up to the level of the NADPH-dependent reaction. In this case, the antibody against cytochrome b5 could not inhibit the reaction, while the antibody against NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase did inhibit it, suggesting the direct transfer of electrons from NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase to EDTA-Fe complex.

Stimulative effects of chelating agents, 2,2'-bipyridine and 1,10-phenanthroline, on lipid peroxidation in rat liver microsomes.

Well known lipid peroxidation inhibitors, 1,10-phenanthroline and 2,2'-bipyridine, stimulated microsomal NADPH- and ascorbic acid-dependent lipid peroxidation when low concentrations of these chelating agents were added to incubation mixture. The stimulatory effects of the chelating agents on lipid peroxidation were enhanced when ferrous ion was added together with the chelating agents to the mixture at a molar ratio of 1:1. Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) had no stimulatory effect on lipid peroxidation. Ferrous ion-EDTA complex increased lipid peroxidation by only 20-30%, which was lower than that obtained by addition of the same concentration of ferrous ion alone. On the other hand, manganese and calcium ions, which are also inhibitors of lipid peroxidation, had no ability to stimulate lipid peroxidation even in the presence of extra ferrous ions. Changes in the lipid peroxidation by chelating agents affected the apparent activity of ethylmorphine N-demethylation.
