Production of the superoxide adduct of myeloperoxidase (compound III) by stimulated human neutrophils and its reactivity with hydrogen peroxide and chloride.

ABSTRACT: Examination of the spectra of phagocytosing neutrophils and of myeloperoxidase present in the medium of neutrophils stimulated with phorbol myristate acetate has shown that superoxide generated by the cells converts both intravacuolar and exogenous myeloperoxidase into the superoxo-ferric or oxyferrous form (compound III or MPO2). A similar product was observed with myeloperoxidase in the presence of hypoxanthine, xanthine oxidase and Cl-. Both transformations were inhibited by superoxide dismutase. Thus it appears that myeloperoxidase in the neutrophil must function predominantly as this superoxide derivative. MPO2 autoxidized slowly (t 1/2 = 12 min at 25 degrees C) to the ferric enzyme. It did not react directly with H2O2 or Cl-, but did react with compound II (MP2+ X H2O2). MPO2 catalysed hypochlorite formation from H2O2 and Cl- at approximately the same rate as the ferric enzyme, and both reactions showed the same H2O2-dependence. This suggests that MPO2 can enter the main peroxidation pathway, possibly via its reaction with compound II. Both ferric myeloperoxidase and MPO2 showed catalase activity, in the presence or absence of Cl-, which predominated over chlorination at H2O2 concentrations above 200 microM. Thus, although the reaction of neutrophil myeloperoxidase with superoxide does not appear to impair its chlorinating ability, the H2O2 concentration in its environment will determine whether the enzyme acts primarily as a catalase or peroxidase.

Influence of superoxide on myeloperoxidase kinetics measured with a hydrogen peroxide electrode.

Project description:Stimulated neutrophils discharge large quantities of superoxide (O2.-), which dismutates to form H2O2. In combination with Cl-, H2O2 is converted into the potent oxidant hypochlorous acid (HOCl) by the haem enzyme myeloperoxidase. We have used an H2O2 electrode to monitor H2O2 uptake by myeloperoxidase, and have shown that in the presence of Cl- this accurately represents production of HOCl. Monochlorodimedon, which is routinely used to assay production of HOCl, inhibited H2O2 uptake by 95%. This result confirms that monochlorodimedon inhibits myeloperoxidase, and that the monochlorodimedon assay grossly underestimates the activity of myeloperoxidase. With 10 microM-H2O2 and 100 mM-Cl-, myeloperoxidase had a neutral pH optimum. Increasing the H2O2 concentration to 100 microM lowered the pH optimum to pH 6.5. Above the pH optimum there was a burst of H2O2 uptake that rapidly declined due to accumulation of Compound II. High concentrations of H2O2 inhibited myeloperoxidase and promoted the formation of Compound II. These effects of H2O2 were decreased at higher concentrations of Cl-. We propose that H2O2 competes with Cl- for Compound I and reduces it to Compound II, thereby inhibiting myeloperoxidase. Above pH 6.5, O2.- generated by xanthine oxidase and acetaldehyde prevented H2O2 from inhibiting myeloperoxidase, increasing the initial rate of H2O2 uptake. O2.- allowed myeloperoxidase to function optimally with 100 microM-H2O2 at pH 7.0. This occurred because, as previously demonstrated, O2.- prevents Compound II from accumulating by reducing it to ferric myeloperoxidase. In contrast, at pH 6.0, where Compound II did not accumulate, O2.- retarded the uptake of H2O2. We propose that by generating O2.- neutrophils prevent H2O2 and other one-electron donors from inhibiting myeloperoxidase, and ensure that this enzyme functions optimally at neutral pH.

Cellular defenses against superoxide and hydrogen peroxide.

Project description:Life evolved in an anaerobic world; therefore, fundamental enzymatic mechanisms and biochemical pathways were refined and integrated into metabolism in the absence of any selective pressure to avoid reactivity with oxygen. After photosystem II appeared, environmental oxygen levels rose very slowly. During this time, microorganisms acquired oxygen tolerance by jettisoning enzymes that use glycyl radicals and exposed low-potential iron-sulfur clusters, which can be directly poisoned by oxygen. They also developed mechanisms to defend themselves against superoxide (O(2)()) and hydrogen peroxide, partially reduced oxygen species that are generated as inadvertent by-products of aerobic metabolism. Contemporary organisms have inherited both the vulnerabilities and the defenses of these ancestral microbes. Current research seeks to identify these, and bacteria comprise an exceptionally accessible experimental system that has provided many of the answers. This manuscript reviews recent developments and identifies remaining puzzles.

Myeloperoxidase Modulates Hydrogen Peroxide Mediated Cellular Damage in Murine Macrophages.

Project description:Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is involved in the development of many chronic inflammatory diseases, in addition to its key role in innate immune defenses. This is attributed to the excessive production of hypochlorous acid (HOCl) by MPO at inflammatory sites, which causes tissue damage. This has sparked wide interest in the development of therapeutic approaches to prevent HOCl-induced cellular damage including supplementation with thiocyanate (SCN-) as an alternative substrate for MPO. In this study, we used an enzymatic system composed of glucose oxidase (GO), glucose, and MPO in the absence and presence of SCN-, to investigate the effects of generating a continuous flux of oxidants on macrophage cell function. Our studies show the generation of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) by glucose and GO results in a dose- and time-dependent decrease in metabolic activity and cell viability, and the activation of stress-related signaling pathways. Interestingly, these damaging effects were attenuated by the addition of MPO to form HOCl. Supplementation with SCN-, which favors the formation of hypothiocyanous acid, could reverse this effect. Addition of MPO also resulted in upregulation of the antioxidant gene, NAD(P)H:quinone acceptor oxidoreductase 1. This study provides new insights into the role of MPO in the modulation of macrophage function, which may be relevant to inflammatory pathologies.

TRPM2 ion channels steer neutrophils towards a source of hydrogen peroxide.

Project description:Neutrophils must navigate accurately towards pathogens in order to destroy invaders and thus defend our bodies against infection. Here we show that hydrogen peroxide, a potent neutrophil chemoattractant, guides chemotaxis by activating calcium-permeable TRPM2 ion channels and generating an intracellular leading-edge calcium "pulse". The thermal sensitivity of TRPM2 activation means that chemotaxis towards hydrogen peroxide is strongly promoted by small temperature elevations, suggesting that an important function of fever may be to enhance neutrophil chemotaxis by facilitating calcium influx through TRPM2. Chemotaxis towards conventional chemoattractants such as LPS, CXCL2 and C5a does not depend on TRPM2 but is driven in a similar way by leading-edge calcium pulses. Other proposed initiators of neutrophil movement, such as PI3K, Rac and lyn, influence chemotaxis by modulating the amplitude of calcium pulses. We propose that intracellular leading-edge calcium pulses are universal drivers of the motile machinery involved in neutrophil chemotaxis.

Reduction and inactivation of superoxide dismutase by hydrogen peroxide.

Project description:Reactions of H(2)O(2) with superoxide dismutase were studied by e.p.r. (electron paramagnetic resonance) spectroscopy and other methods. In agreement with earlier work, the Cu(2+) of the enzyme is reduced by H(2)O(2), although the reaction does not go to completion and its kinetics are not simple. With dilute enzyme the time for half-reduction with 9mm-H(2)O(2) is about 150ms. It is suggested that the reaction is a one-electron reduction, involving liberation of O(2) (-). On somewhat more prolonged exposure to H(2)O(2), the enzyme is inactivated. For enzyme in dilute solution and over a limited range of H(2)O(2) concentrations, inactivation is first-order with respect to enzyme and reagent, with k=3.1m(-1).s(-1) at 20-25 degrees C. Inactivation is accompanied by marked changes in the e.p.r. and visible spectra and appears to be associated with destruction of one histidine residue per subunit. It is suggested that this histidine is close to the metal in the native enzyme and essential for its enzymic activity.

The hydrogen atom transfer reactivity of a porphyrinoid cobalt superoxide complex.

Project description:The H-atom transfer (HAT) reactivity of a corrolazine cobalt superoxide with weak O-H and N-H substrates has been demonstrated. Kinetic analysis shows relatively fast rates of HAT with diphenylhydrazine (DPH). A kinetic isotope effect (KIE) and Eyring activation parameters are consistent with an HAT mechanism.

A Thioether-Ligated Cupric Superoxide Model with Hydrogen Atom Abstraction Reactivity.

Project description:The central role of cupric superoxide intermediates proposed in hormone and neurotransmitter biosynthesis by noncoupled binuclear copper monooxygenases like dopamine-β-monooxygenase has drawn significant attention to the unusual methionine ligation of the CuM ("CuB") active site characteristic of this class of enzymes. The copper-sulfur interaction has proven critical for turnover, raising still-unresolved questions concerning Nature's selection of an oxidizable Met residue to facilitate C-H oxygenation. We describe herein a model for CuM, [(TMGN3S)CuI]+ ([1]+), and its O2-bound analog [(TMGN3S)CuII(O2•-)]+ ([1·O2]+). The latter is the first reported cupric superoxide with an experimentally proven Cu-S bond which also possesses demonstrated hydrogen atom abstraction (HAA) reactivity. Introduction of O2 to a precooled solution of the cuprous precursor [1]B(C6F5)4 (-135 °C, 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (2-MeTHF)) reversibly forms [1·O2]B(C6F5)4 (UV/vis spectroscopy: λmax 442, 642, 742 nm). Resonance Raman studies (413 nm) using 16O2 [18O2] corroborated the identity of [1·O2]+ by revealing Cu-O (446 [425] cm-1) and O-O (1105 [1042] cm-1) stretches, and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy showed a Cu-S interatomic distance of 2.55 Å. HAA reactivity between [1·O2]+ and TEMPO-H proceeds rapidly (1.28 × 10-1 M-1 s-1, -135 °C, 2-MeTHF) with a primary kinetic isotope effect of kH/kD = 5.4. Comparisons of the O2-binding behavior and redox activity of [1]+ vs [2]+, the latter a close analog of [1]+ but with all N atom ligation (i.e., N3S vs N4), are presented.

Regulation of superoxide generation by myeloperoxidase during the respiratory burst of human neutrophils.

Project description:The role of myeloperoxidase in the regulation of the respiratory burst of human neutrophils activated by the chemotactic peptide (N-formyl-L-methionyl-L-leucyl-L-phenylalanine) plus cytochalasin B was determined by using anti-(human myeloperoxidase) antibody. The respiratory burst activated under these conditions consisted of an initial (1-2 min) phase with high rates of O2 uptake, luminol-dependent chemiluminescence and superoxide radical (O2-.) generation and a second, more sustained, phase of lower magnitude of chemiluminescence and O2 uptake: O2-. generation did not occur during this second phase. In cell suspensions stimulated in the presence of anti-(human myeloperoxidase) antibody, the magnitude of the initial phase of both O2 uptake and O2-. generation was unaffected, but these high rates were maintained over much longer periods than in control suspensions. It is therefore proposed that a product of myeloperoxidase normally regulates the duration of O2-. generation during the respiratory burst, possibly by inhibition of NADPH oxidase.

Intramolecular Hydrogen Bonding Enhances Stability and Reactivity of Mononuclear Cupric Superoxide Complexes.

Project description:[(L)CuII(O2•-)]+ (i.e., cupric-superoxo) complexes, as the first and/or key reactive intermediates in (bio)chemical Cu-oxidative processes, including in the monooxygenases PHM and D?M, have been systematically stabilized by intramolecular hydrogen bonding within a TMPA ligand-based framework. Also, gradual strengthening of ligand-derived H-bonding dramatically enhances the [(L)CuII(O2•-)]+ reactivity toward hydrogen-atom abstraction (HAA) of phenolic O-H bonds. Spectroscopic properties of the superoxo complexes and their azido analogues, [(L)CuII(N3-)]+, also systematically change as a function of ligand H-bonding capability.

Subcellular distribution of superoxide dismutases in human neutrophils. Influence of myeloperoxidase on the measurement of superoxide dismutase activity.

Project description:We have identified two distinct pools of superoxide dismutase in fractions of human peripheral neutrophils obtained by the isopycnic fractionation of homogenates of the latter with linear sucrose gradients. Superoxide dismutase activity, observed with polyacrylamide gels impregnated with Nitro Blue Tetrazolium, was present in: (1) the mitochondrial fraction [density (rho) 1.169g/ml], containing the high-molecular-weight KCN-resistant enzyme, and (2) the cytoplasm fraction, containing the low-molecular-weight KCN-sensitive enzyme. Superoxide dismutase activity, observed with a quantitative assay involving cytochrome c, was present in: (1) the mitochondria, (2) the cytoplasm, and (3) the azurophil-granule fractions (rho=1.206 and 1.222g/ml). No substantial enzyme activity was observed in specific-granule fractions (rho=1.187g/ml) or in the membranous fraction (rho=1.136g/ml) in either assay. The apparent superoxide dismutase activity observed in the azurophil granules with the cytochrome c assay was attributable not to true superoxide dismutase but to myeloperoxidase, an enzyme found solely in the azurophil granules. In the presence of H(2)O(2), human neutrophil myeloperoxidase oxidized ferrocytochrome c. Thus, in the cytochrome c assay for superoxide dismutase, the oxidation of ferrocytochrome c by myeloperoxidase mimicked the inhibition of reduction of ferricytochrome c by superoxide dismutase. When myeloperoxidase was removed from azurophilgranule fractions by specific immuno-affinity chromatography, both myeloperoxidase and apparent superoxide dismutase activities were removed. It is concluded that there is no detectable superoxide dismutase in either the azurophil or specific granules of human neutrophils. Mitochondrial superoxide dismutase, 15% of the total dismutase activity of the cells, occurred only in fractions of density 1.160g/ml, where isocitrate dehydrogenase and cytochrome oxidase were also observed.
