چکیده

Tumor cells generally display low lipid peroxidation. A low content of polyunsaturated fatty acids in membrane phospholipids is a possible cause of their decreased susceptibility to lipid peroxidation. To investigate the importance of substrate availability in eliciting lipid peroxidation and to study cell viability in conditions of stimulated lipid peroxidation, AH-130 hepatoma cells were enriched with arachidonic acid. The enriched hepatoma cells showed increased mortality correlated with the increased incorporation of arachidonic acid in membrane phospholipids. When 0.5 mM arachidonic acid was added to hepatoma cells, this fatty acid reached a percentage content similar to that found in hepatocytes. Hepatoma cells enriched with this concentration were further incubated to determine their susceptibility to lipid peroxidation; mortality increased in parallel with increased thiobarbituric acid-reactive substance production. The highest mortality was in hepatoma cells treated with ascorbate/FeSO4. Mortality in normal cells was low, although they had a high production of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances. The high capability of normal cells to metabolize the products of lipid peroxidation might explain the different viabilities of normal cells and hepatoma cells. It may therefore be possible to modify the composition of fatty acids of hepatoma cells in order to sensitize them to the toxic effect of prooxidant agents.

Increase in class 2 aldehyde dehydrogenase expression by arachidonic acid in rat hepatoma cells.

Aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) is a family of several isoenzymes important in cell defence against both exogenous and endogenous aldehydes. Compared with normal hepatocytes, in rat hepatoma cells the following changes in the expression of ALDH occur: cytosolic class 3 ALDH expression appears and mitochondrial class 2 ALDH decreases. In parallel with these changes, a decrease in the polyunsaturat...

Lipid peroxidation of a human hepatoma cell line (HepG2) after incorporation of linoleic acid, arachidonic acid, and docosahexaenoic acid.

Lipid peroxidation of human heptoma cell line, HepG2, after incorporation of linoleic acid (LA), arachidonic acid (AA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) was measured with a fluorescent probe and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. The analysis with a fluorescent probe showed that incorporation of each polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) enhanced the cellular lipid peroxidation le...
