Summary: | This study was undertaken to examine the effect of oxidant on lipid peroxidation and lethal cell injury in rat liver slices.
t-Butylhydroperoxide (t-BHP) was employed as a model of an oxidant. The lipid peroxidation and lethal cell injury were estimated by measuring the formation of malondialdehyde (MDA) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release, respectively.
t-BHP increased lipid peroxidation and LDH release in a dose-dependent manner over concentrations of 0.5-10 mM. t-BHP-induced lipid peroxidation was completely prevented by an antioxidant, N,N-diphenyl-p-phenylenediamine (DPPD), but LDH release was partially decreased. Both t-BHP-induced lipid peroxidation and LDH release were significantly protected by iron chelator, deferoxamine, sulfhydryl reducing agent, dithiothreitol and glutathione. Ca2+ channel blockers, verapamil, diltiazem and nifedipine exerted a significant protective effect against t-BHP-induced lipid peroxidation and LDH release. By contrast, addition of external Ca2+ chelator, ethylene glycol bis(b-aminoethyl ether)-N,N-tetraacetic acid (EGTA) did not alter t-BHP-induced lipid peroxidation, whereas t-BHP-induced lethal cell injury was significantly prevented. Phospholipase A2 (PLA2) inhibitors, mepacrine and butacaine produced a partial protective effect.
These results suggest that t-BHP induces cell injury by lipid peroxidation-dependent and -independent mechanisms which can be partially prevented by Ca2+ channel blockers and PLA2 inhibitors. |
