摘要：

4-Hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE) has been suggested to contribute to the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. One of the major metabolic transformation pathways of HNE involves conjugation with glutathione (GSH) catalyzed by GSH S-transferase (GST). In this study, we have characterized the induction of GSH and GST by 3H-1,2-dithiole-3-thione (D3T) and the protective effects of the D3T-elevated cellular defenses on HNE-mediated toxicity in rat aortic smooth muscle A10 cells. Incubation of A10 cells with D3T resulted in a marked concentration-dependent induction of both GSH and GST. The induction of cellular GST by D3T also exhibited a time-dependent response. Pretreatment of A10 cells with D3T led to a dramatic decrease of HNE-induced cytotoxicity, as assessed by 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) reduction assay and scanning electron microscopy. Incubation of A10 cells with HNE for 0.5 h and 1 h resulted in a significant depletion of cellular GSH, which preceded the decrease of cell viability. To further demonstrate the involvement of GSH and GST in protecting against HNE-induced cytotoxicity, buthionine sulfoximine (BSO) and sulfasalazine were used to inhibit cellular GSH biosynthesis and GST activity, respectively. Either depletion of GSH by BSO or inhibition of GST by sulfasalazine caused great potentiation of HNE-mediated cytotoxicity. Moreover, cotreatment of A10 cells with BSO was found to completely block the D3T-mediated GSH induction and to largely reverse the cytoprotective effects of D3T on HNE-induced toxicity. Taken together, this study demonstrates that D3T can induce both GSH and GST in aortic smooth muscle cells, and that the D3T-augmented cellular defenses afford a marked protection against HNE-induced vascular cell injury. © Copyright 2003 by Humana Press Inc.
