Metabolic Activation of trans-4-Hydroxy-2-nonenal, a Toxic Product of Membrane Lipid Peroxidation and Inhibitor of P450 Cytochromes

Lipid peroxidation in biological membranes is known to yield reactive aldehydes, of which trans-4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE) is particularly cytotoxic. This laboratory previously reported that purified liver microsomal P450 cytochromes are directly inactivated to varying extents by HNE. We have now found a mechanism-based reaction in which P450s are inactivated by HNE in the presence of molecular oxygen, NADPH, and NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase. The sensitivity of the various isozymes in the two pathways is different as follows: P450 2B4 and the orthologous 2B1 are inactivated to the greatest extent and 2C3, 1A2, 2E1, and 1A1 to a somewhat lesser extent by the pathway in which HNE undergoes metabolic activation. In contrast, 2B4 and 2B1 are insensitive to direct inactivation, and the reductase is unaffected by HNE by either route. Recent studies on the catalytic activities of the T302A mutant of P450 2B4 have shown that the rate of oxidation of a variety of xenobiotic aldehydes to carboxylic acids is decreased, but the rates of aldehyde deformylation and mechanism-based inactivation of the cytochrome are stimulated over those of the wild-type enzyme (Raner, G. M., Vaz, A. D. N., and Coon, M. J. (1997) Biochemistry 36, 4895-4902). Inactivation by those aldehydes apparently occurs by homolytic cleavage of a peroxyhemiacetal intermediate to yield formate and an alkyl radical that reacts with the heme. In sharp contrast, the rate of mechanism-based inactivation by HNE is decreased with the T302A mutant relative to that of the wild-type P450 2B4, and mass spectral analysis of the heme adduct formed shows that deformylation does not occur. We therefore propose that the metabolic activation of HNE involves formation of an acyl carbon radical that leads to the carboxylic acid or alternatively reacts with the heme.
