SCAVENGING OF HYDROGEN PEROXIDE BY ISOLATED PERFUSED RABBIT LUNGS Michele L. Bamard and Sadis Matalon Department of Anesthesiology, The University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL 35233, U.S.A.

An a~in~ experiment is performed t h r o u g h o u t the life span of R a n a p e r e z i . Two ~rouos (young and old) of ii0 animals each were established. They were d i v i d e d into two s u b ~ r o u D s t r e a t e d e v e r y 15 days w i t h s a l i n e ( c o n t r o l s ) or a m i n o tr'i0zole ( a c a t a l a s e - t A T i n h i b i t o r ) at i mK/~. After 2.5 months liver SOD and GSH-reduc:ta~e (GR) i n c r e a s e d (to 250 a n d ]90% oi controls) in CAT deDleted animals. GSH did not vary. After- 14.5 months CA']7 r e m a i n e d depleted. Idver induration of ~ O D was a ~ a i n 260% but GR now increased to i 0(]0%, GSH was now i n c r e a s e d (250%) and a s c o r b a f e i n c r e a s e d to 250%. GR was a l s o i n d u c e d in k i d n e y (700%), b r a i n (165%) and ]un~ (147%). Kidney ascorbate (230%) and G S H (260%) a l s o i n c r e a s e d . Se and n o n Se G,%'H-PX, in vivo or in vitro TBA-RS, GSSG, cyt o c h r o m e oxidase, 02 c o n s u m p t i o n or MDA (HPLC) did not change. Mortality rate was 4 (in young animals) to 8 (in old) times s m a l l e r in t r e a t e d a n i m a l s . These results show that at least the mean life span of a v e r t e b r a t e can be increased through induction of e n d o g e nous a n t i o x i d a n t s .

We investigated the scavenging ability of isolated rabbit lungs perfused with buffer at a flow rate of 108 ml/min. Lungs were extremely effective at removing an exogenous challenge of hydrogen peroxide. Peroxide was added in a bolus to produce an original calculated concentration of 0.25 raM, and was removed by the lungs with a halflife of 0.32 _+ 0.03 min. Inhibition of catalase with 0.5 mM azide or inhibition of the giutathione redox cycle with 0.2 mM 1-chloro2,4-dinitrobenzene (CDNB) did not affect the half life of hydrogen peroxide in the lungs (0.34 ± 0.01 and 0.33 _+ 0.02 min. respectively), lf, however, both azide and CDNB were added to the lungs, the halflife was increased to 0.72 _+ 0.09 min. (p < 0.05). These data indicate that either enzymatic scavenging system is able to rapidly and efficiently remove low concentrations of hydrogen peroxide if one is inhibited, but that scavenging is significantly diminished if both systems are inhibited. The rapid removal of the peroxide that remains after inhibition of catalase and the glutathione redox cycle also indicates that non-enzymatic scavenging is also very important in removal of hydrogen peroxide from the pulmonary circulation.

THE REACTION OF ALDEHYDIC LIPID PEROXIDATION PRODUCTS WITH XANTHINE OXIDASE Patrieia L. Bounds and Gary W. Winston Department of Biochemistry and Biodynamics Institute, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, LA 70803, U.S.A. A series of ~,fl-unsaturated aldehydes, 2-butenal through 2-nonenal and 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal, were recently identified as substrates for xanthine oxidase. The reaction proceeds with conversion of the aldehyde to the corresponding carboxylie acid, and reduction of dioxygen to 0~-. Kinetic parameters k=a t and KM and the hydrophobicity constant log k~ were determined for each aldehyde. A linear relationship was found between log k~ and pK~, and log k=at/K~, suggesting that substrate binding and the efficiency of the reaction of xanthine oxidase with unsaturated aldehydes depends on the hydrophobieity of the substrate, and that the binding site for these substrates is very lipophilic. These aldehydes, which are alternative substrates for xanthine oxidase, were studied as inhibitors in the conversion of xanthine to urate. We found noncompetitive inhibition of urate production, indicating that aldehydes and purines bind at distinct sites on the enzyme. As ~,~-unsaturated aldehydes are products of lipid peroxidation, and xanthine oxidase has been implicated in the initiation of lipid peroxidation, it is suggested that the reaction of xanthine oxidase with unsaturated aldehydes could be an important route of amplification of oxidative damage.
