摘要
Oxidative injuries including apoptosis can be induced by reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) in aerobic metabolism. We determined impacts of a selenium-dependent glutathione peroxidase-1 (GPX1) on apoptosis induced by diquat (DQ), a ROS (superoxide) generator, and peroxynitrite (PN), a potent RNS. Hepatocytes were isolated from GPX1 knockout (GPX1-/-) or wild-type (WT) mice, and treated with 0.5 mm DQ or 0.1-0.8 mm PN for up to 12 h. Loss of cell viability, high levels of apoptotic cells, and severe DNA fragmentation were produced by DQ in only GPX1-/- cells and by PN in only WT cells. These two groups of cells shared similar cytochrome c release, caspase-3 activation, and p21(WAF1/CIP1) cleavage. Higher levels of protein nitration were induced by PN in WT than GPX1-/- cells. Much less and/or slower cellular GSH depletion was caused by DQ or PN in GPX1-/- than in WT cells, and corresponding GSSG accumulation occurred only in the latter. In conclusion, it is most striking that, although GPX1 protects against apoptosis induced by superoxide-generator DQ, the enzyme actually promotes apoptosis induced by PN in murine hepatocytes. Indeed, GSH is a physiological substrate for GPX1 in coping with ROS in these cells.
