Hypochlorous acid and low serum paraoxonase activity in haemodialysis patients: an in vitro study.

چکیده
BACKGROUND Serum paraoxonase 1 (PON1) is an oxidant-sensitive enzyme associated with high-density lipoprotein (HDL) that inhibits the atherogenic oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL). In haemodialysis patients, production of reactive oxygen species, such as hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and hydrogen peroxide, is increased and serum PON1 arylesterase is abnormally low. We have examined the effect of HOCl and the uraemic milieu on serum PON1 arylesterase activity and the ability of HDL to inhibit LDL oxidation in vitro. METHODS Serum was incubated with HOCl, hydrogen peroxide and products of HOCl reaction with excess cysteine, lysine and taurine and then serum PON1 arylesterase and serum protein tryptophan fluorescence were measured. The ability of plasma HDL fractions isolated by a dextran-sulphate method, to protect LDL from mild oxidation in air, was determined by a fluorimetric method using oxidation of 2,7-dichlorofluorescein (DCFH). RESULTS Incubation of healthy serum with HOCl in the range 6.5-32.9 mmol/l resulted in a linear decrease in serum PON1 arylesterase activity to 40% of that without HOCl and a parallel decrease in protein tryptophan fluorescence. The HOCl-induced decrease in serum PON1 activity was completely removed by reaction of HOCl with a 2.7-fold excess of alpha-amino acids but not taurine. In serum incubated for 1 week, the decrease in serum PON1 activity was significantly (P = 0.04) less while the increase in protein fluorescent advanced glycation end-products was significantly larger (P = 0.01) in haemodialysis patients compared with healthy subjects. The mean decrease in mild oxidation of LDL was not significantly different on addition of HDL-rich fractions from haemodialysis patients (100 +/- 6%, n = 7) and healthy subjects (95 +/- 6%, n = 7) or on addition of the HDL-rich fraction from plasma treated with 0.95 mmol/l HOCl (95%) and control HDL (96%). The fraction rich in HDL and other high molecular weight compounds from plasma that had been incubated with increasing HOCl concentrations up to 1.9 mmol/l significantly (P = 0.001) increased (471%) the oxidation of DCFH. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that high concentrations of HOCl that severely oxidize serum proteins and tryptophan residues in the active site of PON1 are required to decrease PON1 arylesterase activity in serum. In haemodialysis patients, overproduction of HOCl that leads to high concentrations of severely oxidized proteins and increased oxidants in plasma might also contribute to low serum PON1 arylesterase activity, but does not appear to impair the ability of an HDL molecule to protect LDL from mild oxidation.

Introduction: In recent years the relationship between electromagnetic fields and coronary artery disease is attracted a considerable attention. Low density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation is the initial step in the development of atherosclerosis. Paraoxonase1 (PON1) protects LDL and High density lipoprotein (HDL) against oxidative processes, thus preventing the formation of atherogenic (oxidized-L...

Human serum paraoxonase (PON) associated with high density lipoprotein (HDL) , has been postulated to have a role in protecting low-density lipoprotein (LDL) against oxidative damage, which has led to the proposal that PON is an anti-atherogenic and anti-inflammatory enzyme. It has genetic polymorphism at the 191 (R ->Q) and two alloenzymes A and B and three phenotypes A, B, and AB. We exa...
