The exocytosis induced in HL-60 cells by 4-hydroxynonenal, a lipid peroxidation product, is not prevented by reduced glutathione

Abstract

The effect of reduced glutathione (GSH) was studied on exocytosis triggered by 4-hydroxynonenal in HL-60 cells induced to differentiate towards the granulocytic cell line by dimethylsulfoxide; we measured beta-glucuronidase secretion from cells incubated at 37 degrees C in the presence of 5 mM GSH. GSH addition to the cell suspensions failed to induce any significant change of the exocytosis stimulated by HNE concentrations between 10(-8) and 10(-6) M. In contrast however, 5 mM GSH was able to fully prevent the release of lactate dehydrogenase observed in the presence of 50 microM HNE, a concentration much higher than that able to stimulate the exocytotic secretion. As the activation of phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PLC) has been shown to play a major role in HNE-induced exocytosis, we studied the GSH effect on the breakdown of phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate added to plasma membranes isolated from rat neutrophils and incubated in the presence of increasing concentrations of the aldehyde. In neutrophil membranes HNE induced a significant increase of PLC activity when used in the same concentrations as those able to stimulate beta-glucuronidase secretion in DMSO-differentiated HL-60 cells; the presence of 5 mM GSH failed to prevent its action. Our results suggest that these low aldehyde concentrations, which have actually been found in exudates, may increase tissue damage in inflammation through the release of lytic enzymes by neutrophils; it seems unlikely that their effects could be influenced by the levels of -SH groups present in the exudate and by its protein concentration.
