'NO Regulation of 0, / 0NOO"dependent Lipid Peroxidation 26067

We report herein that 'NO both stimulates and inhibits 0;-, H,O,-, and 0NOO"dependent lipid peroxidation and yields novel nitrogen-containing derivatives of oxidized lipids. From this, we conclude that in biological systems where co-genera- tion of multiple reactive species can occur, 'NO can ( a ) exacer- bate oxidant injury via production of the potent oxidant ONOO- and ( b ) exert a protective role toward membranes or lipoproteins via redirection of 0,-mediated cytotoxic reactions to other oxi- dative pathways, by inhibition of 0NOO"dependent oxidation reactions, and by termination of free radical-dependent chain propagation reactions catalyzed by diverse initiating species.

EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURES Materials-Egg phosphatidylcholine and 1-palmitoyl-2-arachidonyl-

sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine were from Avanti Polar Lipids (Pelham, AL). Linolenic acid was from Nu-Chek-Prep (Elysian, MI). EDTA, DTPA, potassium phosphate, 2-thiobarbituric acid (TBA), butylated hy- droxytoluene, hypoxanthine, urate, mannitol, dimethyl sulfoxide, cata- lase, superoxide dismutase, cytochrome c, benzoate, salicylic acid, and glutathione were from Sigma. Bovine milk xanthine oxidase was from Calbiochem. S-Nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine was from Biomol (Plym- outh Meeting, PA), and 1,1,3,3-tetramethoxypropane was from Aldrich. Acetaldehyde was prepared according to Ref. 26.

Preparation of Peroxynitrite, Nitric Oxide, and S-Nitrosoglu- tathione-Peroxynitrite was synthesized from sodium nitrite and hy- drogen peroxide using a quenched-flow reactor as previously (12, 14). Peroxynitrite concentration was determined spectrophotometrically at 302 nm (eM = 1.67 mM-km-l), with residual H,O, eliminated by elution of ONOO- on a MnO, column. Solutions of 'NO were prepared by bub- bling of 'NO gas (Matheson, Madison, WI) for 30 min into argon-satu- rated deionized water. Any 'NO, present was eliminated by first bub- bling 'NO through 5 M NaOH. Nitric oxide production rates and solution concentrations were measured by electrochemical detection using a 'NO sensor (Iso-NO, WPI, Inc., Sarasota, FL). S-Nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) was synthesized at 25 "C by combining equimolar (200 mM) concentra- tions of reduced glutathione with sodium nitrite in 0.5 M HCl(27). Stock solutions of SNAP were prepared in 100 mM H,SO, (28). Either SNAP or GSNO was added to 100 mM potassium phosphate, pH 7.4, at 20 "C, to measure 'NO release. For example, addition of 100 pd SNAP to air- equilibrated buffer systems resulted in 'NO production for approxi- mately 30 min, achieving a maximum concentration of 8.3 VM in the absence of 0;. In the case of 800 p GSNO, a constant rate of 'NO production was observed for more than 60 min, achieving a steady state concentration of 8 pd in the absence of 0;.

Liposome Oxidation-Phosphatidylcholine liposomes were prepared from 6 ml of a 25.4 mM (20 mg.ml") lipid stock solution in chloroform as described previously (29, 30). Briefly, solvent was removed in uacuo at 45-55 "C and 6 ml of 10 m~ potassium phosphate, pH 7.4, was added. The suspension was placed in a 4 "C water bath and sonicated three times for 30 s each at 65 watts using a Branson sonifier. Liposomes were stored in the dark under argon and used within 24 h of preparation. Superoxide was generated by X 0 using hypoxanthine or acetaldehyde as substrate, measured by superoxide dismutase-inhibitable cyto- chrome c reduction at 550 nm (eM = 21 mM''.cm-'). Xanthine oxidase activity was determined at 20 "C by the rate of uric acid production at 295 nm (eM = 11,000 M'l.cm-l), or at 308.5 nm (eM = 2750 "l.cm") when light scattering from liposome suspensions prevented assay of urate formation at 295 nm. For some experiments, X 0 was dialyzed against 0.1 mM desferrioxamine in 50 mM Tris-HC1, pH 8.0 (31). This effectively removed transition metals from X0 and prevented formation of 'OH generated by the Fenton reaction between adventitiously bound iron and H,O, (32). The specific activity of X0 was unaffected by dialysis procedures, with the percentage of univalent flux (0; uersus H,O, for- mation by XO) from 10 milliunitsm" X 0 plus 150 p~ hypoxanthine being - 18%. Liposomes, suspended in 10 mM potassium phosphate, pH 7.4, were incubated with X 0 (0-10 milliunits.ml") alone and in the presence of 'NO generated by addition of 1-100 p~ SNAP or 0.5-1.0 mM GSNO, or by infusion of 'NO using a motor-driven microliter syringe. All incubations were continually stirred at 20 "C and aliquots removed at indicated time points for measurement of 2-thiobarbituric acid-reac- tive substances as previously (29, 30) using eM = 150 m"l.cm-l at 532 nm, calculated from reaction with known amounts of malonaldehyde generated by acid hydrolysis of 1,1,3,3-tetramethoxypropane. To pre- vent further peroxidation of lipid during assay procedures, butylated hydroxytoluene (0.025%, w/v) was added to the thiobarbituric acid reagent.

membrane lipid peroxidation. PC liposomes (6.6 mg.ml"), in 10 mM potassium phosphate, pH 7.4, were oxidized for 30 min in stirred incu- bations at 20 "C. The reaction mixtures contained 10 milliunits.ml" XO, 150 p hypoxanthine and 100 pd EDTA-Fe3+ (0.11 mM EDTA plus 0.1 mM FeC1,) (0, A, 0) or 100 pd DTPA(O, a), and 100 PM SNAP (0,O) or 800 p GSNO (A). All assays were performed in triplicate using the same preparation of PC, with experiments repeated at least three times.

Biochemical Analyses-Lipids were extracted according to Ref. 33. Thin layer chromatography on Silica Gel G with a chloroform-metha- nol-H,O (65:25:4) solvent system was used for the separation of phos- pholipids and chloroform-methanol-H,O-acetic acid (90:10:0.5:0.5) for linolenic acid. Plates were developed by fluorescent detection with an aqueous solution of rhodamine 6G. Nitrogen-containing derivatives of lipid oxidation intermediates were assessed by mass spectrometry. Analyses were performed on an API I11 triple quadrupole mass spec- trometer (PE-Sciex, Thornhill, Ontario, Canada) equipped with two MacIntosh Quadra 950 computers for data analysis. Linolenic acid and its NOx adducts were separated by reversed phase high pressure liquid chromatography on a 10 cm x 2.1 mm (inner diameter) Aquapore C, column at a flow rate of 0.2 mVmin using a linear 50-100% methanol gradient in 1% aqueous acetic acid. The column eluent was split 1:1, with 100 pl.min-' going to the Ionspray" interface. Negative ion mass spectra were recorded in this mode, with an orifice potential of -60 V. MS-MS experiments were carried out by selecting the parent ion with Q,. Collision of the parent ion in Q, with a mixture of 10% N,, 90% argon resulted in fragment ions that were separated in Q,.

Formation of paramagnetic iron-lipid-nitric oxide complexes were analyzed by ESR spectroscopy (34, 35). Reaction systems were trans- ferred to a 4-mm quartz tube and immersed in a quartz Dewar flask containing liquid N,. ESR spectra were recorded at liquid N,temperature using a Varian E-109 spectrometer operating at X band frequencies and employing 100-kHz field modulation. Spectrometer conditions were: microwave power, 2 milliwatts; modulation amplitude, 10 gauss; scan time, 8 min; time constant, 0.5 s. ESR spectra were scanned between gauss = 2.10 and 2.00 region.

Oxygen consumption was measured polarographically at 37 "C using a 1.8-ml water-jacketed cell fitted with a Clark model YSI 4004 elec- trode (Clark, Yellow Springs, OH). Fluorescent measurement of benzo- ate hydroxylation was performed using A,, = 300 nm and A,, = 410 nm (36) with an SLM DMX-1000 fluorometer. Calibration of the fluores- cence yield of benzoate hydroxylation was performed using standard solutions of salicylate.

Statistical analyses were performed after ANOVA and application of Duncan's multiple range test, with the level of significance defined as p < 0.05.

DTPA(Fig. 1). Lipid peroxidation was also completely inhibited by 'NO derived from either 100 1.1~ SNAP or 800 1.1~ GSNO (Fig. 1). Although there is a recent suggestion indicating that high concentrations of 'NO partially inhibit X 0 activity (37), no significant inhibition of X 0 by 'NO was observed in control studies at steady state concentrations of 'NO of 100 or less, as indicated by rates of XO-dependent oxygen consumption and uric acid formation (not shown). Additionally, similar concen- trations of acetylpenicillamine and GSH did not affect XO- dependent liposome oxidation.

Xanthine oxidase-dependent oxidation of liposomes and lin- olenic acid micelles was also inhibited by *NO derived from 100 w SNAP (Table I). Uric acid, a product of XO-mediated hypox- anthine oxidation, is a potent 'OH scavenger and an effective inhibitor of the 'OH-like reactivity of ONOOH (38). Since ONOO- is a product in reaction systems where 'NO and 0, are being co-generated, the influence of X 0 substrate on lipid per- oxidation yields was investigated. Use of acetaldehyde as an X0 substrate gave 92% greater yields of XO-dependent lipid peroxidation products and demonstrated similar extents of in- hibition of lipid peroxidation by 'NO (Table I).

Inhibition of Peroxynitrite-dependent Liposome Oxidation by 'NO-Peroxynitrite-dependent peroxidation of PC liposomes occurs by a predominantly iron-independent mechanism (30); thus, TBA-reactive product formation was only partially inhib- ited by addition of DTPA to reactions (Table 11). Peroxynitrite- dependent liposome lipid peroxidation was inhibited by either infusion of 'NO into reaction systems or addition of GSNO.

Influence of 'NO on Peroxynitrite-mediated Benzoate Hydrox- ylation-The reaction of ONOO- with benzoic acid to yield sa- licylate reconfirms the 'OH-like reactivity of protonated ONOO-, peroxynitrous acid (ONOOH, Refs. 16 and 38). Addi- tion of SNAP or coinfusion of 'NO at the time of ONOO- infu- sion into a benzoate-containing reaction system partially inhib- ited benzoate hydroxylation to salicylic acid (Table 111). Benzoate hydroxylation was also partially inhibited by the 'OH scavengers mannitol and Me,SO, while DTPA had no effect. Similar concentrations of the thiol-containing SNAP precursor acetylpenicillamine minimally affected 0NOO"dependent ben- zoate hydroxylation. Control studies also showed that all em- ployed 'OH scavengers, SNAP, and the infusion of 'NO did not quench salicylate fluorescence (not shown).

Influence of the Ratio of 'NO and 0; Production Rates on XO-dependent Lipid Peroxidation-The continuous infusion of 'NO (0-3 w.min-l) into liposome suspensions exposed to X 0 plus acetaldehyde (1 pwmin" 0; production) and EDTA-Fe3+ first stimulated and then inhibited formation of TBA-reactive products at greater rates of infusion (Fig. 2).

Similar 'NO-dependent stimulation of XO- mediated lipid peroxidation, followed by inhibition of peroxida- tion a t greater rates of 'NO release, was observed when using GSNO as an 'NO source (Fig. 3). Nitric oxide stimulated XO- dependent liposome lipid peroxidation, when production rates of 'NO approached or were equivalent to rates of 0, production by X 0 (Figs. 2 and 3). When the pwmin" rate of 'NO produc- tion exceeded that of O;, lipid peroxidation was inhibited as before (Fig. 1, Tables I and 11).

Product Analysis of 'NO Reaction with Oxidizing Lipids- Production of novel lipid oxidation products, secondary to the 'NO-mediated inhibition of XO-dependent and 0NOO"depend- ent oxidation of linolenic acid emulsions, was first indicated by appearance of reaction products having lower R, values than untreated controls when separated by thin-layer chromatogra- phy following chloroform-methanol-H,O extraction (not shown).

Liquid chromatography-mass spectroscopic analysis of reac- tion systems, performed immediately after addition of metha- nol to give a final concentration of 40% (v/v), revealed molecular compositional characteristics of novel derivatives produced by 'NO reactions with oxidizing linolenic acid (Figs. 4, A and B, and 5, A and B).

tion to the ["HI- ion (mlz = 277) of the native fatty acid. These species had a molecular mass of 310 (9- and/or 16-hydroperoxo- linolenate) and 342 (9, 16-dihydroperoxolinolenate). Lower quantities of 9- andor 16-hydroxylinolenate were also formed (molecular mass = 294). MS-MS analysis of the species having a molecular mass of 310 yielded a loss of 33 mass units, indi- cating the presence of -0OH. In lipid oxidation reactions simul- taneously exposed to 'NO derived from SNAP, two additional ions were observed for novel products having molecular masses of 355 and 371 (Fig. 4B).

Peroxynitrite oxidation of linolenic acid yielded significant formation of hydroperoxolinolenate, with this product exhibit- ing a heterogeneous elution profile due to formation of multiple alkyl hydroperoxide isomers. Trace amounts of 'NO-dependent oxidized lipid adduct formation (ions with a molecular mass of 323, 339, 355, and 371) were also detected (Fig. 5 A ) . Lower quantities of hydroxyl-, hydroxyhydroperoxyl-, and nitrogen-

containing adducts of ONOO--oxidized linolenate were also de- tected (molecular masses = 294,326,342,323, and 339; Fig. 5A, Table IV). Co-exposure of fatty acid emulsions to SNAP-derived 'NO during infusion of ONOO- led to even greater quantities of ions having a molecular mass of 323,339,355, and 371 (Fig. 5B, Table IV). In both the XO- and 0NOO"dependent oxidation systems, a similar product distribution was observed when GSNO was substituted for SNAP as the source of 'NO. The presence of 'NO in peroxidation reactions inhibited formation of hydroperoxolinolenate, as well as reducing net yields of TBA- reactive oxidation products. Further incubation of 'NO-con- taining lipid oxidation systems for 3 h led to the loss of appar- ently reactive or unstable nitrogen-containing oxidized lipid species and a continued generation of peroxidation products (Table IV).

DISCUSSION Nitric oxide has proven to be a ubiquitous signal transduc-

tion molecule and a potent mediator of tissue injury because of its low molecular mass, volatility, lipophilicity, free radical na- ture, and diverse reactivities. Because of the transient nature of free radical species and their often broad range of reactivi- ties, it becomes challenging to define the mechanisms of tissue injury in processes of oxidant stress when a diverse spectrum of reactive species is produced. It has recently been established that 'NO will react with 0, to yield ONOO- at almost diffusion- limited rates ( 6 . 7 ~ 1 0 ~ M-'.s', Ref. 11). Once formed in biological systems, ONOO- can exert direct and hydroxyl radical-like ox- idation reactions, as well as metal-catalyzed nitration reactions (15, 16, 38, 39). A principal goal of this study was to examine the influences of the independent and combined production of these reactive species on a model membrane system and to define mechanisms accounting for the protective effects of 'NO sometimes observed in pathological events associated with ex- cess production of reactive oxygen species.

Nitric oxide has a relatively low reactivity for a free radical species, resulting in a long biological half-life (t,,, = 5-30 s, Ref. 40). In spite of this, 'NO still undergoes numerous reactions. For example, 'NO is an iron ligand, forming paramagnetic spe- cies after reaction of 'NO with ferrous ions containing one or more additional coordinating anionic ligands (41, 42). The tox- icity of 'NO is also often attributed to 'NO reaction with iron- sulfur containing mitochondrial enzymes (10) and the inhibi- tion of DNA or protein synthesis (43). Heme proteins such as guanylate cyclase are activated by low 'NO Concentrations (44), while cytochrome P-450 (45) and nonheme iron proteins such as aconitase (10) and lipoxygenase (46) are inhibited by 'NO, al- beit often a t much greater concentrations of 'NO than em- ployed herein or present in tissues.

Nitric oxide reacts with molecular oxygen in aqueous solu- tion, yielding nitrite (NO;) and nitrate (NO;) as products of N,O, and N,O, decomposition (47, 48). This reaction is second order for 'NO, with tissue 'NO levels in the range of 1-1000 nM, and first order for 0, ( k = 6-8 x lo6 M-'.s-'), thus this reaction does not account for the long tu, of 'NO or serve as a principal pathway for 'NO reaction in vivo. A number of investigators have reported that less reactive nitrosothiol intermediates are formed in vivo from reaction of some oxidation state of NO with protein or nonprotein thiols, which can increase the effective tissue t,,, of 'NO (44). Since tissue 'NO concentrations are low (<I p~), it should be noted that significant reactivity with heme, iron-sulfur, and thiol-containing proteins often require high concentrations of 'NO or 'NO-generating agents (49). The rapid bimolecular reaction of 'NO with 0, to yield ONOO- is more than 3 times faster than the enzymatic dismutation of 0, catalyzed by superoxide dismutase (kSoD = 2 x lo9 Ref. 50). Thus, ONOO- formation represents a major potential

tion and reaction of partially reduced oxygen species. Numer- ous studies of cell or metal-induced lipoprotein oxidation reactions, as well as hepatic, cerebrovascular, pulmonary and myocardial inflammatory and ischemia-reperfusion injury models also show that stimulation of endogenous 'NO produc- tion or exogenous administration of 'NO will inhibit oxidant- related mechanisms and blunt the ultimate expression of mo- lecular or tissue injury (4-8, 17-21,23-25, 67,681. In some of these models, inhibition of 'NO synthesis enhanced injury as well, emphasizing the salutary role sometimes observed for 'NO in oxidant injury-related processes.

Addition of 100 1.1~ SNAP will give a 100% yield of ONOO- from the 0, produced by hypoxanthine plus XO, secondary to 0, reaction with 'NO. We have observed herein that three different 'NO-generating systems (SNAP, GSNO, and infusion of 'NO) result in the 'NO-mediated inhibition of 0 - and 0NOO"dependent liposomal and fatty acid oxidation under conditions where both 0; and ONOO- are formed (Figs. 1-3, Tables I and 11). More detailed dose-response studies conducted by (a) increasing rates 'NO infusion into a liposome suspension subjected to a constant rate of XO-derived reactive species (Fig. 2) or ( b ) the simultaneous co-variance of both the rate of XO- derived reactive species and 'NO generation in liposome sus- pensions according to Job's analysis of continuous variation (Fig. 3, Ref. 69) demonstrated that 'NO will significantly en- hance lipid peroxidation when rates of 'NO production ap- proach or are equivalent to rates of 0, production by XO. This occurred even in the presence of iron-replete buffers (Fig. 31, implying that the 'NO (hence ONOO-)-mediated pathway for O~/H,O,-dependent lipid peroxidation predominates over the Haber-Weiss-mediated production of 'OH in this reaction sys- tem. One explanation would be that ONOO- can diffuse further into membrane bilayers than 'OH to initiate oxidative events. These results show that there can be a complex balance ex- pected between the apparent tissue-protective and injurious effects of 'NO in vivo and during pathological processes. The final outcome of biological reactions of 'NO will ultimately de- pend on a multiplicity of factors, including the rate of 'NO production, the partitioning of 'NO into different tissue com- partments, and the extent or rate of 'NO diffusion, which will be affected by the molecular environment (i.e. local 0, and 0; concentrations, the presence of 'NO-reactive molecules such as heme-containing proteins, and the distance to be traversed by 'NO). It has recently been shown that when 'NO is delivered to in vitro test systems in a fashion more reflective of biological production rates over extended periods of time (<m.min"), the cytotoxic and mutagenic effects of 'NO become more pro- nounced due to shifts in the liquid-gas equilibria of 'NO and 0, and the consequent redirection of 'NO reaction pathways (70).

The role of iron was precisely defined in the systems reported herein, because both XO-dependent lipid oxidation and lipid peroxidation propagation reactions have a critical requirement for metal catalysis (71, 72). Peroxidative processes depend on 'OH production via the Fenton reaction and on the formation of oxidizing iron species such as ferry1 ion (Fe02+), kinetically equivalent to 'OH (73). Thus, iron depletion of reaction systems inhibited XO-induced lipid peroxidation as expected (Figs. 1 and 3). Because 'NO can serve as an iron ligand to form iron- nitrosyl complexes (74), it has been proposed that 'NO will modulate the pro-oxidant effects of iron and other transition metals, thereby limiting their role in the Haber-Weiss-cata- lyzed formation of 'OH and iron-dependent electron transfer reactions (42). Other investigators have observed that the rela- tive concentration of 'NO influences whether myoglobin-in- duced lipoprotein oxidation is reduced or enhanced (75). How- ever, ESR analysis showed that the aerobic 0;-containing reaction systems reported herein, which were exposed to lower and sometimes more biological rates of production of 'NO, did not yield detectable iron-nitrosyl complexes. This was not un- expected, because the rate of 'NO reaction with ferrous iron (2 x lo7 " l d , Ref. 76) is significantly slower than for 'NO reac- tion with either 0, or lipid alkoxy1 and peroxyl radical species (11, 77). I t should be noted that 'NO may also exert prooxidant effects by reducing ferric iron complexes, thus inducing a re- lease of bound iron and indirectly substituting for other reduc- tants in the Haber-Weiss reaction-mediated production of 'OH from H,O, (78).

Nitric oxide reacts rapidly with 'OH (12 = 10 x 10" M-'.s") to form nitrous acid (79). Nitric oxide is expected to have only limited potential as a 'OH scavenger in both aqueous and lipid phases. The potent nonselective reactivity and short diffusion distance of 'OH would mean that there would have to be ex- tremely high and non-biological concentrations of 'NO present to effectively compete with other reaction pathways for 'OH. The 'OH scavengers mannitol and Me,SO afforded minimal inhibition of 0NOO"dependent benzoate hydroxylation to sal- icylic acid (Table 111). This indicates that at the often submi- cromolar concentrations of 'NO employed in our reaction sys- tems, 'NO would not significantly inhibit the 'OH-like reactivity of ONOO-. Since the concentration of benzoate was 3 orders of magnitude greater than 'NO in these reaction SYS- tems, 'NO would not expected to effectively compete with ben- zoate as a 'OH scavenger. The partial inhibitory effect of 'NO observed toward benzoate hydroxylation may also be due to reaction of 'NO with the trans-form of ONOO-, critical for ex- pression of the 'OH-like reactivity of ONOO- following proto- nation (80, 81). The experimental conditions where partial in- hibition of benzoate hydroxylation by either nitrosothiols or

'NO Regulation of O,IONOO--dependent Lipid Peroxidation 26073

Other *NO-derived products

'NO resulted in often complete inhibition of lipid oxidation. In lipid-containing reactions, fatty acids will also effectively com- pete with 'NO for reaction with the highly reactive 'OH. In aggregate, our results indicate that the principal mechanism of 'NO inhibition of lipid oxidation is not via scavenging of ONOO- or ONOOH; instead, it occurs by 'NO annihilation of lipid radical species, thus terminating radical chain propaga- tion processes.

The mechanisms of linolenic acid and liposome oxidation induced by reactive oxygen species plus transition metals in- volves formation of hydroxyl ('OH), alkoxyl (LO'), and peroxyl (LOO') radicals as intermediates, with 'OH a poor initiator of oxidation in comparison to LOO' (82). Oxidants that do not readily initiate lipid oxidation in the absence of metals include H,O,, organic hydroperoxides, and, most notably, 0,. It has recently been reported that 'NO reacts with LO' and LOO' at near diffusion-limited rates (for LOO', k = 1.3 x lo9 M - ~ . S - ~ , Ref. 77). These reactions are important to consider, since 'NO will significantly concentrate in lipophilic cell compartments, with a 1ipid:water partition coefficient of 8:l . This further enhances the ability of 'NO to serve as a critical regulator of oxidant- induced membrane or lipoprotein oxidation by terminating rad- ical chain propagation reactions.

Under conditions where linolenic acid emulsions oxidized by X0 or ONOO--derived reactive species showed inhibition of lipid peroxidation by 'NO (Tables I and 11), mass spectral anal- ysis of oxidation products showed formation of novel nitrogen- containing lipid adducts (Table IV, Figs. 4, A and B , and 5, A and B ) , which were not detectable in the absence of 'NO

sources. These nitrogen-containing products have been tenta- tively identified as nitritolinolenate (molecular mass = 323), nitrosoperoxolinolenate (molecular mass = 339), hydroxylni- trosoperoxolinolenate (molecular mass = 355), and hydroper- oxonitrosoperoxolinolenate (molecular mass = 371). Nitrosyla- tion of unsaturated lipids is analogous to oxygenation reactions proposed for linolenic acid (82). I t is possible that lipid reaction or decomposition pathways for ONOO- involve production of low concentrations of 'NO or 'NO,, since minor amounts of the molecular mass 323 and 339 nitrogen-containing oxidized lipid species were detected in ONOO--oxidized linolenate. The scheme in Fig. 6 shows a proposed mechanism for the reaction of 'NO with oxidizing lipids. Further analysis of preparations of the 371 molecular mass product is required to define the po- tential extent and time course of formation of the alkyl nitrate derivative of linolenic acid, since this ion has the same molec- ular mass as the hydroperoxonitrosoperoxolinolenate deriva- tive. Similarly, the molecular mass 322 product will require further characterization to differentiate nitritolinolenate from the nitrolinolenate derivative. It has been proposed that nitro- sation of hydroperoxides with N,O, yields a nitrosoperoxo- derivative which would decompose via 0-0 bond homolysis to give an alkoxyV'N0, caged radical pair and ultimately yield an alkyl nitrate derivative (83).

From this product analysis, we conclude that dissolved 'NO gas and 'NO generated from decomposition of either SNAP or GSNO inhibits both X0 and 0NOO"dependent lipid oxidation by direct reaction with the lipid alkoxyl and peroxyl radical products formed by both X 0 and ONOO- during lipid peroxi-

dation, thus terminating lipid radical chain propagation reac- tions. These novel lipid oxidation adducts are in part organic peroxynitrites and would be expected to occur in vivo, where diverse inflammatory and pathological processes give rise to similar combinations of reactive species. Because of their in- stability (Table IV) and potential to decompose through radical or oxidative pathways, the nitrogen-containing lipid oxidation products may also serve as potent inflammatory mediators or as intermediates in cytotoxic processes. For this reason, the inhibitory effect of 'NO toward lipid peroxidative processes may not fully support terming this property an antioxidant event. While net yields of lipid peroxidation products were less in the presence of higher concentrations of 'NO, an effective antioxidant would not only have to react rapidly with oxidizing species, but also form less reactive or toxic species. This may not be the case when reactive nitrogen-containing lipid oxida- tion products are formed, because undefined cytotoxic reactions of these species may occur. With this qualification, it is still intriguing to note that the rate constant for 'NO reaction with peroxyl radicals is more than 2 x lo3 times greater than for a-tocopherol reaction with peroxyl radicals ( k = 2.5 x lo6 M-%', Ref. 771, with tissue concentrations and lipophilicity of 'NO and a-tocopherol not that dissimilar. From this, one might specu- late that 'NO may under some conditions predominate over a-tocopherol as an oxidant-protective molecule in tissues.

From the data reported herein, we conclude that (a) the relative rates of production and steady state concentrations of 0; and 'NO, ( b ) the cellular and anatomical sites of production of 0, and 'NO, and (c) the dominant operative mechanisms of oxidant damage in tissues at the time of 0, and 'NO production profoundly influence expression of the differential oxidant in- jury-enhancing and protective effects of 'NO. Critical events mediated by 'NO will include formation of potent secondary oxidants such as ONOO-, redirection of 0,-mediated cytotoxic reactions to other oxidative pathways, and 'NO annihilation of other radical species (while at the same time forming addi- tional secondary reactive products). Full understanding of the physiological roles of 'NO, coupled with detailed insight into 'NO regulation of oxygen radical-dependent reactions, should yield a more rational basis for the use of 'NO donors and in- hibitors of 'NO synthases for therapeutic purposes.
