title: Kinetic analysis of reactive oxygen species generated by the in vitro reconstituted NADPH oxidase and xanthine oxidase systems.
abstract: The nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH)/nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase and the xanthine oxidase (XOD) systems generate reactive oxygen species (ROS). In the present study, to characterize the difference between the two systems, the kinetics of ROS generated by both the NADH oxidase and XOD systems were analysed by an electron spin resonance (ESR) spin trapping method using 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide (DMPO), 5-(diethoxyphosphoryl)-5-methyl-pyrroline N-oxide (DEPMPO) and 5-(2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propoxy cyclophosphoryl)-5-methyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (CYPMPO). As a result, two major differences in ROS kinetics were found between the two systems: (i) the kinetics of (•)OH and (ii) the kinetics of hydrogen peroxide. In the NADH oxidase system, the interaction of hydrogen peroxide with each component of the enzyme system (NADPH, NADH oxidase and FAD) was found to generate (•)OH. In contrast, (•)OH generation was found to be independent of hydrogen peroxide in the XOD system. In addition, the hydrogen peroxide level in the NADPH-NADH oxidase system was much lower than measured in the XOD system. This lower level of free hydrogen peroxide is most likely due to the interaction between hydrogen peroxide and NADPH, because the hydrogen peroxide level was reduced by ~90% in the presence of NADPH.
