In U937 and mouse myeloma cells, protein hydroperoxides are the predominant hydroperoxide formed during exposure to AAPH or gamma irradiation. In lipid-rich human monocyte-derived macrophages (HMDMs), we have found the opposite situation. Hydroperoxide measurements by the FOX assay showed the majority of hydroperoxides formed during AAPH incubation were lipid hydroperoxides. Lipid hydroperoxide formation began after a four hour lag period and was closely correlated with loss of cell viability. The macrophage pterin 7,8-dihydroneopterin has previously been shown to be a potent scavenger of peroxyl radicals, preventing oxidative damage in U937 cells, protein and lipoprotein. However, when given to HMDM cells, 7,8-dihydroneopterin failed to inhibit the AAPH-mediated cellular damage. The lack of interaction between 7,8-dihydroneopterin and AAPH peroxyl radicals suggests that they localize to separate cellular sites in HMDM cells. Our data shows that lipid peroxidation is the predominant reaction occurring in HMDMs, possibly due to the high lipid content of the cells.

D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D008264 Macrophages The relatively long-lived phagocytic cell of mammalian tissues that are derived from blood MONOCYTES. Main types are PERITONEAL MACROPHAGES; ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES; HISTIOCYTES; KUPFFER CELLS of the liver; and OSTEOCLASTS. They may further differentiate within chronic inflammatory lesions to EPITHELIOID CELLS or may fuse to form FOREIGN BODY GIANT CELLS or LANGHANS GIANT CELLS.

D010545 Peroxides A group of compounds that contain a bivalent O-O group, i.e., the oxygen atoms are univalent. They can either be inorganic or organic in nature. Such compounds release atomic (nascent) oxygen readily. Thus they are strong oxidizing agents and fire hazards when in contact with combustible materials, especially under high-temperature conditions. The chief industrial uses of peroxides are as oxidizing agents, bleaching agents, and initiators of polymerization. (From Hawley's Condensed Chemical Dictionary, 11th ed) Peroxide
D011506 Proteins Linear POLYPEPTIDES that are synthesized on RIBOSOMES and may be further modified, crosslinked, cleaved, or assembled into complex proteins with several subunits. The specific sequence of AMINO ACIDS determines the shape the polypeptide will take, during PROTEIN FOLDING, and the function of the protein.
