- Abstract:
- The metabolism of the toxic lipid peroxidation product 4-hydroxynonenal was investigated in the well-differentiated rat heptoma cell line MH1C1. When exposed to 0.1 mM 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE), MH1C1 cells consumed it in a time-dependent manner. There was a linear relationship between the amount of aldehyde consumed and cell number in the range 0.5 - 4 X 10(6) cells ml-1. This process was unaffected by pyrazole, suggesting that alcohol dehydrogenase is not involved. The whole homogenate of MH1C1 cells consumed added HNE at a rate similar to that in intact cells. Fractionation of the homogenate showed that the highest HNE-metabolizing activity is in the cytosol. The dialysed cytosol had almost no capacity to metabolize HNE, but this was restored by supplementation with NAD, NADH, NADP and NADPH. The metabolism of HNE in MH1C1 cells is thus different from that in hepatocytes, which were shown to utilize cytosolic alcohol dehydrogenase for this process. Both reductive and oxidative pathways could be implicated in the metabolic activity of MH1C1 cells towards HNE as well as binding by glutathione.
