Intravasal peroxynitrite generation causes dysfunction in the isolated perfused rat lung via endothelin.
In septic shock excessive nitric oxide and superoxide are produced, thus generating peroxynitrite. This study investigates whether and how intravasal peroxynitrite causes lung dysfunction. To generate peroxynitrite, isolated and ventilated rat lungs were perfused blood-free in a pressure-constant, recirculating mode with hypoxanthine/xanthine oxidase plus sodium nitroprusside. Airway and vascular resistance, and release of thromboxane A2, prostacyclin, and endothelin-1 were assessed over 200 min. Peroxynitrite generation, as demonstrated by oxidation of the marker 2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate, caused broncho- and vasoconstriction starting after 100 min. Both reactants alone, i.e., NO. or O2, had no effect. The thromboxane A2/prostaglandin H2 receptor antagonist BM13.177 did not affect peroxynitrite-induced broncho- and vasoconstriction. Combined endothelin(A/B) (ET(A/B)) receptor antagonism (BQ123 plus BQ788) prevented broncho- and vasoconstriction more effectively than the ET(A) receptor antagonist BQ123 alone. In tissue from lungs exposed to peroxynitrite, significantly increased amounts of endothelin-1 were detected. This study identifies endothelin-1 rather than prostanoids as a distal mediator induced by the reaction product of superoxide and nitric oxide, i.e., peroxynitrite. It is concluded that 1) endothelin-1 is a causal mediator of peroxynitrite-induced acute rat lung injury, and 2) peroxynitrite-induced broncho- and vasoconstriction are mediated by both ET(A) and ET(B) receptors.

Peroxynitrite-induced secondary oxidative lesions at guanine nucleobases: chemical stability and recognition by the Fpg DNA repair enzyme.
Synthetic oligodeoxynucleotides containing secondary oxidative lesions at guanine nucleobases have been prepared by the site-specific oxidation by ONOO(-) of oligomers containing 8-oxoguanine (8-oxo-G). The oligomers have been tested for their stability to the standard hot piperidine treatment that is commonly used to uncover oxidized DNA lesions. While DNA containing oxaluric acid and oxazolone was cleaved at the site of modification under hot piperidine conditions, the corresponding cyanuric acid and 8-oxo-G lesions were resistant to piperidine. The recognition of the oxidative lesions by formamidopyrimidine glycosylase (Fpg enzyme) was examined in double-stranded versions of the synthetic oligodeoxynucleotides. Fpg efficiently excised 8-oxo-G and oxaluric acid and to some extent oxazolone, but not cyanuric acid. These data suggest that some DNA lesions formed via ONOO(-) exposures (cyanuric acid) are not repaired by Fpg and are not uncovered by assays based on piperidine cleavage at the site of lesion. Our results indicate that cryptic secondary and tertiary oxidation products arising from 8-oxo-G may contribute to the overall mutational spectra arising from oxidative stress.

Detection of superoxide radicals and peroxynitrite by 1-hydroxy-4-phosphonooxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine: quantification of extracellular superoxide radicals formation.
The reactions of the new sterically hindered hydroxylamine 1-hydroxy-4-phosphonooxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine (PP-H) with superoxide radical and peroxynitrite have been studied. These reactions produce the nitroxide 4-phosphonooxy-2,2,6, 6-tetramethyl-piperidinyloxy. The rate constant for reaction of superoxide with PP-H is determined as (8.4+/-0.6).10(2) M-1s-1. It was found that PP-H provides almost the same spin trapping efficacy as 1-hydroxy-3-carboxy-pyrrolidine (CP-H). The background oxidation of PP-H in blood is much less than for CP-H. The extremely slow PP-H penetration into the cells makes possible the study of extracellular formation of superoxide radical. The acute treatment of blood with nitroglycerin is shown to induce an extracellular superoxide radical formation. PP-H is more sensitive for detection of reactive oxygen species as compared with CP-H. PP-H is an effective scavenger of superoxide radical and of peroxynitrite, and can be used to quantify the extracellular formation of these reactive oxygen species.

Quantification of peroxynitrite, superoxide, and peroxyl radicals by a new spin trap hydroxylamine 1-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-oxo-piperidine.
The reactions of hydroxylamine 1-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-oxo-piperidine hydrochloride (TEMPONE-H) with peroxynitrite, superoxide and peroxyl radicals were studied. It was shown that under these reactions TEMPONE-H is oxidized into a stable nitroxide 1-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-oxo-piperidi-noxyl (TEMPONE). The reactivity of TEMPONE-H towards reactive oxygen species was compared with the spin traps DMPO and TMIO as well as with DMSO and SOD. The rate constants of reactions of TEMPONE-H with peroxynitrite and superoxide radicals were 6 x 10(9) M(-1)s(-1) and 1.2x10(4) M(-1)s(-1), respectively. Using TEMPONE-H the sensitivity in the detection of peroxynitrite or superoxide radical was about 10-fold higher than using the spin traps DMPO or TMIO. Thus, TEMPONE-H may be used as a spin trap in chemical and biological systems to quantify peroxynitrite and superoxide radical formation.

Spin trapping of superoxide radicals and peroxynitrite by 1-hydroxy-3-carboxy-pyrrolidine and 1-hydroxy-2,2,6, 6-tetramethyl-4-oxo-piperidine and the stability of corresponding nitroxyl radicals towards biological reductants.
The reactions of new spin trap 1-hydroxy-3-carboxy-pyrrolidine (CP-H) with superoxide radicals and peroxynitrite were studied. The rate constants were determined as 3.2 x 10(3) and 4.5 x 10(9) M-1s-1, respectively. It was found that 2mM of spin trap CP-H or 1-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-oxo-piperidine (TEMPONE-H) provide almost the same spin trapping efficacy. In contrast to TEMPONE-H the reaction of CP-H with peroxynitrite was inhibited by 20 mM DMSO. This simplifies the quantification of peroxynitrite formation. During the reaction of CP-H and TEMPONE-H with superoxide radicals or peroxynitrite the stable nitroxide radicals 3-carboxy-proxyl (CP) and 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-oxo-piperidinoxyl (TEMPONE) are formed. It was found that the rate of reduction of CP by glutathione or by smooth muscle cells was two-fold slower and the reduction of CP by ascorbate was 66-fold slower than corresponding rates of reduction of TEMPONE. Therefore quantification of the formation of superoxide radicals and of peroxynitrite by CP-H is much less hindered by a variety of biological reductants than in case of TEMPONE-H. Thus, CP-H is more suitable for spin trapping of superoxide radicals and peroxynitrite in biological systems than the TEMPONE-H.

Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase gene disruption renders mice resistant to cerebral ischemia.
Nitric oxide (NO) and peroxynitrite, formed from NO and superoxide anion, have been implicated as mediators of neuronal damage following focal ischemia, but their molecular targets have not been defined. One candidate pathway is DNA damage leading to activation of the nuclear enzyme, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP), which catalyzes attachment of ADP ribose units from NAD to nuclear proteins following DNA damage. Excessive activation of PARP can deplete NAD and ATP, which is consumed in regeneration of NAD, leading to cell death by energy depletion. We show that genetic disruption of PARP provides profound protection against glutamate-NO-mediated ischemic insults in vitro and major decreases in infarct volume after reversible middle cerebral artery occlusion. These results provide compelling evidence for a primary involvement of PARP activation in neuronal damage following focal ischemia and suggest that therapies designed towards inhibiting PARP may provide benefit in the treatment of cerebrovascular disease.
