Abstract: | The free radicals nitric oxide(·NO) and superoxide (O2·) react to formperoxynitrite (ONOO), a highly toxic oxidant species. Inthis study we investigated the respective effects of NO andONOO in monocytes from healthy human donors. Purifiedmonocytes were incubated for 6 or 16 h with a pure NO donor(S-nitroso-N-acetyl-DL-penicillamine, 0-2 mM), an ·NO/ONOO donor(3-morpholinosydnonimine chlorhydrate, 0-2 mM) with and withoutsuperoxide dismutase (200 IU/ml), or pure ONOO. Weprovide evidence that 3-morpholinosydnonimine chlorhydrate alonerepresents a strong stress to human monocytes leading to adose-dependent increase in heat shock protein-70 (HSP70) expression, mitochondrial membrane depolarization, and cell death by apoptosis andnecrosis. These phenomena were abolished by superoxide dismutase, suggesting that ONOO, but not ·NO, was responsible forthe observed effects. This observation was further strengthened by theabsence of a stress response in cells exposed toS-nitroso-N-acetyl-DL-penicillamine. Conversely, exposure of cells to ONOO alone also inducedmitochondrial membrane depolarization and cell death by apoptosis andnecrosis. Thus ONOO formation may well explain the toxiceffect generally attributed to ·NO. |
