Metabolic activation of mitomycin C by NADPH-ferredoxin reductase in vitro.

Abstract：

:Mammalian NADPH-ferredoxin reductase (EC 1.18.1.2) functions in the mitochondrial electron transport chain for cytochrome P-450-dependent steroid hydroxylation. Significant homology of three-dimensional structure exists in the surroundings of FAD between NADPH-ferredoxin reductase and NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase. The latter is involved in the bioreduction of mitomycin C (MC), a prototype antitumor agent. In this study, we assessed the capacity of NADPH-ferredoxin reductase to activate MC. Mitomycin C increased the NADPH oxidase activity of NADPH-ferredoxin reductase. In the absence of ferredoxin, the Km value of NADPH-ferredoxin reductase for MC was 73.5 +/- 2.3 microM. While in the presence of 500 nM ferredoxin, a Lineweaver-Burk plot exhibited a biphasic curve. NADPH-ferredoxin reductase-mediated reduction of MC resulted in the formation of an alkylated complex of 4-(p-nitrobenzyl) pyridine and an increase in plasmide DNA single-strand breaks under hypoxic conditions. With the addition of 500 nM ferredoxin, the amount of the alkylated complex of 4-(p-nitrobenzyl) pyridine and the plasmide DNA single-strand breaks increased by 40% and 37%, respectively. However, neither alkylated complex of 4-(p-nitrobenzyl) pyridine nor DNA strand breaks was observed in the presence of SOD and catalase under aerobic conditions. These findings demonstrate that NADPH-ferredoxin reductase is capable of catalyzing the bioactivation of mitomycin C under hypoxic conditions in vitro.
