Abstract：
:Cellular glutathione is released during apoptosis and may play a role in the regulation of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore. The question of whether only cytosolic glutathione is important in apoptosis, or whether mitochondrial glutathione also plays a role, was investigated using gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase-deficient knockout mice. Thymocytes from these mice were found to have both glutathione pools diminished and they were more susceptible to dexamethasone (DEX)-induced apoptosis. Supplementation with N-acetylcysteine (NAC) and L-2-oxothiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid replenished both glutathione pools and provided protection from apoptosis. Ascorbate supplementation was beneficial to the mitochondrial glutathione pool, but apoptosis was not prevented. NAC supplementation caused an increase in reactive oxygen species formation and cardiolipin oxidation, but had no adverse affect on the amount of apoptotic cells. Our results suggest that the glutathione status is an important factor in apoptosis and indirect evidence indicates that the cytosolic pool of glutathione may be important in DEX-induced apoptosis, with mitochondrial events being secondary, and may reflect the execution phase.
