title: Role of lipid peroxidation in tert-butylhydroperoxide-induced inhibition of endothelial cell calcium signaling.
abstract: The potential of lipid peroxidation in inhibition of Ca++ signaling by the membrane-permeant oxidant, tertiary butylhydroperoxide (tert-buOOH), was investigated in calf pulmonary vascular endothelial cells. The oxidant dose-dependently increased lipid peroxidation between concentrations of 10(-5) and 10(-3) M, with an ED50 of approximately 0.05 mM. In addition, the effect of tert-buOOH was time-dependent through the experimental period (3 h). Preincubation of cells with the 21-amino-steroid compound, 21-[4-(5,6-bis(diethylamino)-2-pyridinyl)-1-piperazinyl]-16 alpha-methyl-pregna-1,4,9(11)-triene-3,20-dione hydrochloride (U74500A), reduced tert-buOOH-induced lipid peroxidation to undetectable levels. The effect of U74500A was dose dependent with an IC50 of approximately 10(-6) M. Brief incubation of cells with the aminosteroid resulted in greater than 90% inhibition of lipid peroxidation during subsequent 2-h incubations with tert-buOOH and addition of U74500A during treatment of cells with tert-buOOH halted further lipid peroxidation. In contrast, the iron-containing moiety, hemin, potentiated the effect of tert-buOOH on lipid peroxidation. The ED50 of hemin was approximately 10(-6) M when cells were preincubated with this agent before treatment with tert-buOOH. The potentiating effect of hemin was time-dependent and reached a near maximum upon incubation of cells for 1 h before tert-buOOH. Preincubation of cells with U74500A before treatment with hemin and tert-buOOH decreased lipid peroxidation by 75%. Ca++ signaling was monitored in-cells loaded with the Ca(++)-sensitive fluorescent indicator, fura-2.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
