Abstract:
OBJECTIVES:The aims of the study were to test the susceptibility of THP-1 macrophages to develop oxidative stress and to deploy antioxidant defense mechanisms that insure the balance between the pro- and antioxidant molecules. DESIGN AND METHODS:Differentiated THP-1 were incubated in the presence or absence of iron-ascorbate (Fe/As) (100/1000μM) and the antioxidants Trolox, BHT, α-Tocopherol and NAC. RESULTS:Fe/As promoted the production of lipid peroxidation as reflected by the formation of malondialdehyde and H(2)O(2) along with reduced PUFA levels and elevated glutathione disulfide/total glutathione ratio, a reliable index of cellular redox status. THP-1 macrophages developed an increase in cytoplasmic SOD activity due in part to high cytoplasmic SOD1. On the other hand, a decline was noted in mRNA and protein of extra-cellular SOD3, as well as the activity of GSH-peroxidase, GSH-transferase and ATOX-1 expression. CONCLUSIONS:Macrophages activated under conditions of oxidative stress do not adequately deploy a powerful endogenous antioxidant response, a situation that can lead to an enhanced inflammatory response.
