Small reactive carbonyl compounds (RCCs) such as formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, acrolein, crotonaldehyde, glyoxal, methylglyoxal, glycolaldehyde, glycidaldehyde, and 2-butene-1,4-dial are involved in carbonyl and oxidative stress-related physiological disorders. While some evidence indicates that lipid oxidation could be an important source of these compounds in vivo, this has sometimes been doubted because the mechanisms of their formation thereby are poorly understood. Here, representative literature supporting the significant formation of these compounds during lipid oxidation under physiologically relevant conditions are highlighted, and the strengths and weaknesses of previously proposed mechanisms of their formation thereby are considered. In addition, based on the current understanding of lipid oxidation chemistry, some new pathways of their formation are suggested. The suggested pathways also generate 4-hydroxy-2-butenal, a precursor of the carcinogen furan, whose endogenous formation in tissues has hitherto not been seriously considered.  相似文献

Using a filter-binding assay based on precipitation of pUC13 plasmid DNA bound to calf-thymus histones, we have determined the efficiency of formation of DNA-protein crosslink formation induced by several aldehyde compounds in vitro. Formaldehyde, glutaraldehyde and acrolein were the most potent, causing 1 crosslink per 2.7 kbp of DNA at 1.5, 8 and 150 microM, respectively. All other compounds tested gave 1 crosslink per plasmid molecule in the mM concentration range as follows: acetaldehyde, 115 mM; propionaldehyde, 295 mM; butyraldehyde, 360 mM; crotonaldehyde, 8.5 mM; trans-2-pentenal, 6.3 mM. Significant decreases in the efficiency of DPXL formation were observed with monofunctional aldehydes of higher carbon chain length. For example, the concentration of formaldehyde needed to give 1 crosslink per molecule was almost 10(5) times less than that of acetaldehyde. Acetaldehyde differs from formaldehyde only by one saturated carbon. The presence of an unsaturated bond between the 2-3 carbons improved the potential for crosslink formation. For example, acrolein was over 500-fold more potent than propionaldehyde. Glutaraldehyde was almost as potent as formaldehyde, indicating that the bifunctional nature of this 5-carbon saturated aldehyde may be crucial to its high efficiency of DNA-protein crosslinking.  相似文献

Aldehydes are ubiquitous compounds which are generated from many both endogenous and exogenous sources. Primarily because certain aldehydes are respiratory toxicants and carcinogens in laboratory animals, and also because they are present in both tobacco smoke and automotive emissions, cultured human bronchial cells have been used to study the ability of aldehydes, i.e., acrolein and formaldehyde, to cause pathobiological effects associated with carcinogenesis. Comparative studies indicate that each aldehyde distinctly affects several molecular and cellular variables including colony-forming efficiency, clonal growth rate, membrane integrity, formation of cross-linked envelopes, levels of cytosolic free calcium, low-molecular-weight thiol status, DNA structure, i.e., formation of DNA single-strand breaks and DNA-protein cross-links, and various DNA repair mechanisms. In relation to the toxicity exerted by these agents, acrolein induces differentiation more readily than formaldehyde whereas formaldehyde causes much higher levels of genetic damage than acrolein. However, for all biological endpoints measured, acrolein on a molar basis is always more potent than formaldehyde. Taken together, a variety of effects that relate to cell death, accelerated epithelial terminal differentiation and genotoxicity are associated with aldehyde exposure, which in human airways may have a role in the pathogenesis of various diseases. In the development of cancer, the possible contribution of aldehydes from both intra- and extra-cellular sources may partly depend on the ability of target cells to detoxify and counteract those aldehyde-related effects believed to critically relate to multi-stage carcinogenesis.  相似文献

Formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, propionaldehyde, butyraldehyde, isobutyraldehyde, and acrolein, all of which are constituents of tobacco smoke, were reacted in 5 mM concentration with the purified major fraction of normal adult human hemoglobin (hemoglobin Ao) in 1 mM concentration. A cigarette smoke condensate, diluted to contain 5 mM total aldehydes, was also reacted with 1 mM hemoglobin Ao. Cationic exchange high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) showed that the products formed from simple aliphatic aldehydes, with the exception of formaldehyde, were analogues of those formed from acetaldehyde, earlier shown by us to be imidazolidinone derivatives, that is, cyclic addition products of the N-terminal aminoamide function of α and β chains. Formaldehyde and acrolein produced a heterogeneous mixture of derivatives including crosslinked hemoglobin dimers. The greater proportion of modified hemoglobins produced by condensate aldehydes resembled those formed from acetaldehyde, the most abundant aldehyde in the condensate. A smaller fraction consisted of crosslinked hemoglobin dimers, presumably due to the action of formaldehyde. Mass spectrometric and HPLC analyses of the 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazones precipitated from the condensate documented the presence of formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, propionaldehyde, butyraldehyde, furfsral, and methylfurfural. The toxicity of aldehydes is briefly discussed in the context of the findings of this study.  相似文献

The toxicity of extracellular spermine, determined in the presence of fetal calf serum, was studied using three cell lines: FM3A, L1210, and NIH3T3 cells. Amine oxidase in fetal calf serum produces aminodialdehyde generating acrolein spontaneously, H(2)O(2), and ammonia from spermine. Spermine toxicity was prevented by aldehyde dehydrogenase, but not by catalase. Similar concentrations of spermine and acrolein were needed to produce toxicity. Other aldehydes (formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, and propionaldehyde) and hydrogen peroxide were less toxic than acrolein. Spermidine and 3-aminopropanal, which produces acrolein, also exhibited severe cytotoxicity. The degree of cytotoxicity of spermine, spermidine, and 3-aminopropanal was nearly parallel with the amount of acrolein produced from each compound. Thus, it was deduced that acrolein is a major toxic compound produced from polyamines (spermine and spermidine) by amine oxidase.  相似文献

Crotonaldehyde was oxidized by disrupted rat liver mitochondrial fractions or by intact mitochondria at rates that were only 10 to 15% that of acetaldehyde. Although a poor substrate for oxidation, crotonaldehyde is an effective inhibitor of the oxidation of acetaldehyde by mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase, by intact mitochondria, and by isolated hepatocytes. Inhibition by crotonaldehyde was competitive with respect to acetaldehyde, and the Ki for crotonaldehyde was about 5 to 20 microM. Crotonaldehyde had no effect on the oxidation of glutamate or succinate. Very low levels of acetaldehyde were detected during the metabolism of ethanol. Crotonaldehyde increased the accumulation of acetaldehyde more than 10-fold, indicating that crotonaldehyde, besides inhibiting the oxidation of added acetaldehyde, also inhibited the oxidation of acetaldehyde generated by the metabolism of ethanol. Formaldehyde was a substrate for the low-Km mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase, as well as for a cytosolic, glutathione-dependent formaldehyde dehydrogenase. Crotonaldehyde was a potent inhibitor of mitochondrial oxidation of formaldehyde, but had no effect on the activity of formaldehyde dehydrogenase. In hepatocytes, crotonaldehyde produced about 30 to 40% inhibition of formaldehyde oxidation, which was similar to the inhibition produced by cyanamide. This suggested that part of the formaldehyde oxidation occurred via the mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase, and part via formaldehyde dehydrogenase. The fact that inhibition by crotonaldehyde is competitive may be of value since other commonly used inhibitors of aldehyde dehydrogenase are irreversible inhibitors of the enzyme.  相似文献

Lipid peroxidation often occurs in response to oxidative stress, and a great diversity of aldehydes are formed when lipid hydroperoxides break down in biological systems. Some of these aldehydes are highly reactive and may be considered as second toxic messengers which disseminate and augment initial free radical events. The aldehydes most intensively studied so far are 4-hydroxynonenal, 4-hydroxyhexenal, and malonaldehyde. The purpose of this review is to provide a comprehensive summary on the chemical properties of these aldehydes, the mechanisms of their formation and their occurrence in biological systems and methods for their determination. We will also review the reactions of 4-hydroxyalkenals and malonaldehyde with biomolecules (amino acids, proteins, nucleic acid bases), their metabolism in isolated cells and excretion in whole animals, as well as the many types of biological activities described so far, including cytotoxicity, genotoxicity, chemotactic activity, and effects on cell proliferation and gene expression. Structurally related compounds, such as acrolein, crotonaldehyde, and other 2-alkenals are also briefly discussed, since they have some properties in common with 4-hydroxyalkenals.  相似文献

The toxic aldehydes acetaldehyde and acrolein were previously suggested to damage skeletal muscle. Several conditions in which exposure to acetaldehyde and acrolein is increased were associated with muscle wasting and dysfunction. These include alcoholic myopathy, renal failure, oxidative stress, and inflammation. A main exogenous source of both acetaldehyde and acrolein is cigarette smoking, which was previously associated with increased muscle catabolism. Recently, we have shown that exposure of skeletal myotubes to cigarette smoke stimulated muscle catabolism via increased oxidative stress, activation of p38 MAPK, and upregulation of muscle-specific E3 ubiquitin ligases. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of acetaldehyde and acrolein on catabolism of skeletal muscle. Skeletal myotubes differentiated from the C2 myoblast cell line were exposed to acetaldehyde or acrolein and their effects on signaling pathways related to muscle catabolism were studied. Exposure of myotubes to acetaldehyde did not promote muscle catabolism. However, exposure to acrolein caused increased generation of free radicals, activation of p38 MAPK, upregulation of the muscle-specific E3 ligases atrogin-1 and MuRF1, degradation of myosin heavy chain, and atrophy of myotubes. Inhibition of p38 MAPK by SB203580 abolished acrolein-induced muscle catabolism. Our findings demonstrate that acrolein but not acetaldehyde activates a signaling cascade resulting in muscle catabolism in skeletal myotubes. Although within the limitations of an in vitro study, these findings indicate that acrolein may promote muscle wasting in conditions of increased exposure to this aldehyde.  相似文献

alpha,beta-Unsaturated aldehydes are ubiquitous environmental pollutants, important industrial chemicals, have mani-fold biological functions in plants and insects and are natural products in food. They are endogenously formed in animals and humans during lipid peroxidation and arachidonic acid oxidation and are genotoxic, mutagenic and carcinogenic. Crotonaldehyde and 2-hexenal in food may contribute to general carcinogenicity in humans. The high bacterial toxicity of these compounds leads to problems in genotoxicity testing in bacterial systems. Recently, we have shown that using ethanol as solvent instead of dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) results in an increase in the induction factors and the SOS-inducing potency of alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones in the SOS chromotest. Here, we demonstrate that utilization of ethanol as solvent also improves the testing of alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes. Five aldehydes out of nine tested were clearly positive in the SOS chromotest according to the criteria of Quillardet, i.e. acrolein, crotonaldehyde, 2,4-hexadienal, 2-methylacrolein and 2-ethylacrolein, three further, 2-hexenal, 2-heptenal and 2-propylacrolein showed a dose dependent increase of the induction factors which was however lower than 1.5 times that of the background. Only 2-butylacrolein did not lead to an increase in the induction factors. With DMSO as solvent only the three aldehydes acrolein, crotonaldehyde and 2,4-hexadienal showed an increase in the induction factor, which was however lower than 1.5 that of the background. Utilization of ethanol allows to establish structure genotoxicity relationships for alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes in the SOS chromotest. Genotoxicity decreases with increasing degree of substitution. The decreasing genotoxicities can be explained (a) by increasing bacterial toxicity due to increasing lipophilicities of the higher substituted aldehydes and (b) by decreasing reactivity due to steric hindrance by the alkyl substituents.  相似文献

The effects of four aldehydes (furfural, 5‐hydroxymethylfurfural, vanillin and syringaldehyde), which were found in the corncob hemicellulose hydrolysate, on the growth and xylitol fermentation of Candida tropicalis were investigated. The results showed that vanillin was the most toxic aldehyde for the xylitol fermentation, followed by syringaldehyde, furfural and 5‐hydroxymethylfurfural. Moreover, the binary combination tests revealed that furfural amplified the toxicity of other aldehydes and the toxicities of other binary combinations without furfural were simply additive. Based on the fermentation experiments, it was demonstrated that the inhibition of aldehydes could be alleviated by prolonging the fermentation incubation, increasing the initial cell concentration, enhancing the initial pH value and minimizing the furfural levels in the hydrolysate evaporation process. The strategies that we proposed to suppress the inhibitory effects of the aldehydes successfully avoided the complicated and costly detoxifications. Our findings could be potentially adopted for the industrial xylitol fermentation from hydrolysates. © 2013 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol. Prog., 29:1181–1189, 2013  相似文献

The inhibitory effects of various lignocellulose degradation products on glucose fermentation by the thermotolerant yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus were studied in batch cultures. The toxicity of the aromatic alcohol catechol and two aromatic aldehydes (4-hydroxybenzaldehyde and vanillin) was investigated in binary combinations. The aldehyde furfural that usually is present in relatively high concentration in hydrolyzates from pentose degradation was also tested. Experiments were conducted by combining agents at concentrations that individually caused 25% inhibition of growth. Compared to the relative toxicity of the individual compounds, combinations of furfural with catechol and 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde were additive (50% inhibition of growth). The other binary combinations assayed (catechol with 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde, and vanillin with catechol, furfural, or 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde) showed synergistic effect on toxicity and caused a 60-90% decrease in cell mass production. The presence of aldehydes in the fermentation medium strongly inhibited cell growth and ethanol production. Kluyveromyces marxianus reduces aldehydes to their corresponding alcohols to mitigate the toxicity of these compounds. The total reduction of aldehydes was needed to start ethanol production. Vanillin, in binary combination, was dramatically toxic and was the only compound for which inhibition could not be overcome by yeast strain assimilation, causing a 90% reduction in both cell growth and fermentation.  相似文献

DNA damage plays a major role in various pathophysiological conditions including carcinogenesis, aging, inflammation, diabetes and neurodegenerative diseases. Oxidative stress and cell processes such as lipid peroxidation and glycation induce the formation of highly reactive endogenous aldehydes that react directly with DNA, form aldehyde-derived DNA adducts and lead to DNA damage. In occasion of persistent conditions that influence the formation and accumulation of aldehyde-derived DNA adducts the resulting unrepaired DNA damage causes deregulation of cell homeostasis and thus significantly contributes to disease phenotype. Some of the most highly reactive aldehydes produced endogenously are 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal, malondialdehyde, acrolein, crotonaldehyde and methylglyoxal. The mutagenic and carcinogenic effects associated with the elevated levels of these reactive aldehydes, especially, under conditions of stress, are attributed to their capability of causing directly modification of DNA bases or yielding promutagenic exocyclic adducts. In this review, we discuss the current knowledge on DNA damage induced by endogenously produced reactive aldehydes in relation to the pathophysiology of human diseases.  相似文献

The Escherichia coli NADPH-dependent aldehyde reductase YqhD has contributed to a variety of metabolic engineering projects for production of biorenewable fuels and chemicals. As a scavenger of toxic aldehydes produced by lipid peroxidation, YqhD has reductase activity for a broad range of short-chain aldehydes, including butyraldehyde, glyceraldehyde, malondialdehyde, isobutyraldehyde, methylglyoxal, propanealdehyde, acrolein, furfural, glyoxal, 3-hydroxypropionaldehyde, glycolaldehyde, acetaldehyde, and acetol. This reductase activity has proven useful for the production of biorenewable fuels and chemicals, such as isobutanol and 1,3- and 1,2-propanediol; additional capability exists for production of 1-butanol, 1-propanol, and allyl alcohol. A drawback of this reductase activity is the diversion of valuable NADPH away from biosynthesis. This YqhD-mediated NADPH depletion provides sufficient burden to contribute to growth inhibition by furfural and 5-hydroxymethyl furfural, inhibitory contaminants of biomass hydrolysate. The structure of YqhD has been characterized, with identification of a Zn atom in the active site. Directed engineering efforts have improved utilization of 3-hydroxypropionaldehyde and NADPH. Most recently, two independent projects have demonstrated regulation of yqhD by YqhC, where YqhC appears to function as an aldehyde sensor.  相似文献

Two isoenzymes of aldehyde oxidase (E.C. 1.2.3.1 [EC] ) can be separatedfrom potato tubers (Solanum tuberosum) by polyacrylamide gelelectrophoresis. The pH optima of these two isoenzymes werepH 7.5. Both enzymes can oxidize different aldehydes, e.g. crotonaldehyde,Propionaldehyde, acetaldehyde, formaldehyde, glyoxal and benzyl-aldehyde.The isoenzymes could not use xanthine as a substrate. Formaldehydewas oxidized only in the presence of phosphate ions. A substratedependent inhibition of the enzyme activity is possible throughchloral hydrate. PMS, FMN, riboflavine, cytochrome c and O2 serve as electronacceptors. (Received December 12, 1973; )  相似文献

Bioethanol production from lignocellulosic raw-materials requires the hydrolysis of carbohydrate polymers into a fermentable syrup. During the hydrolysis of hemicellulose with dilute acid, a variety of toxic compounds are produced such as soluble aromatic aldehydes from lignin and furfural from pentose destruction. In this study, we have investigated the toxicity of representative aldehydes (furfural, 5-hydroxymethlyfurfural, 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde, syringaldehyde, and vanillin) as inhibitors of growth and ethanol production by ethanologenic derivatives of Escherichia coli B (strains KO11 and LY01). Aromatic aldehydes were at least twice as toxic as furfural or 5-hydroxymethylfurfural on a weight basis. The toxicities of all aldehydes (and ethanol) except furfural were additive when tested in binary combinations. In all cases, combinations with furfural were unexpectedly toxic. Although the potency of these aldehydes was directly related to hydrophobicity indicating a hydrophobic site of action, none caused sufficient membrane damage to allow the leakage of intracellular magnesium even when present at sixfold the concentrations required for growth inhibition. Of the aldehydes tested, only furfural strongly inhibited ethanol production in vitro. A comparison with published results for other microorganisms indicates that LY01 is equivalent or more resistant than other biocatalysts to the aldehydes examined in this study.  相似文献

Oxidative stress, lipid peroxidation, hyperglycemia-induced glycations and environmental exposures increase the cellular concentrations of aldehydes. A novel aspect of the molecular actions of aldehydes, e.g. acetaldehyde and acrolein, is their reaction with the cysteine ligands of zinc sites in proteins and concomitant zinc release. Stoichiometric amounts of acrolein release zinc from zinc-thiolate coordination sites in proteins such as metallothionein and alcohol dehydrogenase. Aldehydes also release zinc intracellularly in cultured human hepatoma (HepG2) cells and interfere with zinc-dependent signaling processes such as gene expression and phosphorylation. Thus both acetaldehyde and acrolein induce the expression of metallothionein and modulate protein tyrosine phosphatase activity in a zinc-dependent way. Since minute changes in the availability of cellular zinc have potent effects, zinc release is a mechanism of amplification that may account for many of the biological effects of aldehydes. The zinc-releasing activity of aldehydes establishes relationships among cellular zinc, the functions of endogenous and xenobiotic aldehydes, and redox stress, with implications for pathobiochemical and toxicologic mechanisms.  相似文献

alpha,beta-Unsaturated aldehydes were investigated in vitro for their ability to inhibit superoxide anion radical (O2-.) production in stimulated human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN). The aldehydes investigated were (i) trans-4-hydroxynonenal and malonaldehyde (MDA), two toxic lipid peroxidation products; (ii) acrolein and crotonaldehyde, two air pollutants derived from fossil fuel combustion; (iii) trans,trans-muconaldehyde, a putative hematotoxic benzene metabolite. Preincubation of PMN with reactive aldehydes followed by stimulation with the oxygen burst initiator phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) resulted in a dose-dependent inhibition of O2-. production. The concentration at which 50% inhibition (IC50) was observed was 21 microM for acrolein, 23 microM for trans,trans-muconaldehyde, 27 microM for trans-4-hydroxynonenal and 330 microM for crotonaldehyde. A similar inhibitory effect by these aldehydes was observed in digitonin- and concanavalin A-stimulated PMN. MDA inhibited O2-. production in PMA-stimulated PMN by 100% at 10(-2) M but gave no inhibition at 10(-3) M. The standard aldehyde propionaldehyde did not inhibit O2-. production at 10(-3)-10(-6) M. Preincubation of PMN with acrolein in the presence of cysteine completely protected against the inhibitory effect of this reactive aldehyde. The results indicate that the ability of toxic aldehydes to inhibit O2-. production in stimulated PMN correlates directly with their alkylation potential which is a function of the electrophilicity of the beta carbon.  相似文献

Chemical modification of 2'-deoxyguanosine and DNA by excessive acetaldehyde and crotonaldehyde were significantly accelerated by the presence of histones, which are nuclear proteins very rich in the basic amino acids such as L-arginine and L-lysine, resulting in the smooth and selective formation of the corresponding cyclic 1,N(2)-propanoguanine adducts under physiological conditions. Thus, histones have a very close connection with the genotoxic and carcinogenic effects of these aldehydes.  相似文献
