Efficient nitrosation of glutathione by nitric oxide☆
Nitrosothiols are increasingly regarded as important participants in a range of physiological processes, yet little is known about their biological generation. Nitrosothiols can be formed from the corresponding thiols by nitric oxide in a reaction that requires the presence of oxygen and is mediated by reactive intermediates (NO₂ or N₂O₃) formed in the course of NO autoxidation. Because the aut...
متن کاملHomocyst(e)ine decreases bioavailable nitric oxide by a mechanism involving glutathione peroxidase.
Hyperhomocyst(e)inemia is believed to injure endothelial cells in vivo through a number of mechanisms, including the generation of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Earlier in vitro studies demonstrated that homocyst(e)ine (Hcy) decreases the biological activity of endothelium-derived relaxing factor and that this decrease can be reversed by preventing the generation of hydrogen peroxide. Here we show ...
متن کاملPlasma glutathione peroxidase deficiency and platelet insensitivity to nitric oxide in children with familial stroke.
In a previous report by Freedman et al (J Clin Invest. 1996;97:979-987), plasma from 2 brothers with stroke or transient ischemic attack inactivated the antiplatelet effects of nitric oxide (NO), and this effect was found to be a consequence of a deficiency of plasma glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px). In this study, we attempted to define the generalizability of this deficiency by studying NO-med...
متن کاملInactivation of nitric oxide by rat cerebellar slices.
Nitric oxide (NO) functions as an intercellular messenger throughout the brain. For this role to be performed efficiently, there must be a mechanism for neutralizing NO, but whether an active biological process exists, or whether NO is lost mainly through diffusion is unclear. To investigate this issue, rat cerebellar slices were exposed to constant levels of NO and the cGMP generated within th...
متن کاملInactivation of anthracyclines by cellular peroxidase.
The anticancer anthracyclines, doxorubicin and daunorubicin, are highly cytotoxic to both cancer and normal cells. In this work, we have investigated the capacity of cellular myeloperoxidase to inactivate these agents. We show that incubation of human leukemia HL-60 cells with the anthracyclines in the presence of hydrogen peroxide and nitrite causes irreversible oxidation of the drugs, suggest...
