title: gamma-Glutamyltranspeptidase-dependent metabolism of 4-hydroxynonenal-glutathione conjugate.
abstract: A major pathway for detoxification of the highly reactive lipid peroxidation product, 4-hydroxy-2,3-trans-nonenal (HNE) is through the conjugation with glutathione (GSH). We have studied the metabolism of GS-HNE conjugate by the enzyme gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase (GGT) using its purified form, as well as a GGT-overexpressing fibroblast cell line (V79 GGT). Using mass spectrometry analysis we identified for the first time cysteinylglycine-HNE (CysGly-HNE) as the GGT metabolite of GS-HNE. Furthermore, the GGT-dependent metabolism of GS-HNE in the V79 GGT cell line was associated with a considerable increase of cytotoxicity as compared to a control cell line which does not express GGT (V79 Cl). The cytotoxic effect was dose- and time-dependent (100% cellular death at 200 microM GS-HNE after 24 h incubation) in V79 GGT cells, whereas no decrease of viability was observed in V79 Cl cells. A similar cytotoxic effect was obtained when cells were incubated directly with CysGly-HNE, demonstrating that this GGT-dependent metabolite unlike GS-HNE, exhibits cytotoxic properties.
