Tóm tắt

Epidemiological data suggest that dietary antioxidants play a protective role against cancer. This has led to the proposal that dietary supplementation with antioxidants such as vitamin C (vit C) may be useful in disease prevention. However, vit C has proved to be ineffective in cancer chemoprevention studies. In addition, concerns have been raised over potentially deleterious transition metal ion–mediated pro-oxidant effects. We have now determined that vit C induces lipid hydroperoxide decomposition to the DNA-reactive bifunctional electrophiles 4-oxo-2-nonenal, 4,5-epoxy-2( E )-decenal, and 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal. The compound 4,5-Epoxy-2( E )-decenal is a precursor of etheno-2′-deoxyadenosine, a highly mutagenic lesion found in human DNA. Vitamin C–mediated formation of genotoxins from lipid hydroperoxides in the absence of transition metal ions could help explain its lack of efficacy as a cancer chemoprevention agent.

Mass spectrometry was conducted with a Thermo Finnigan LCQ ion trap mass spectrometer equipped with an APCI source. The mass spectrometer was operated in the positive ion mode with a discharge current of 5 μA applied to the corona needle. Nitrogen was used as the sheath (80 psi) and auxiliary (10 units) gas. The vaporizer and heated capillary temperatures were set at 450°C and 150°C respectively. Full scanning analyses were performed in the range of m/z 100 to m/z 800. Collision-induced dissociation experiments coupled with MS/MS analysis used helium as the collision gas. The relative collision energy was set at 20% of maximum (1 V). Ionization of the polar 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal was more efficient than the ionization of the other bifunctional electrophiles so the mass spectrometer response was almost an order of magnitude greater.

For normal-phase LC system 1 we used two silica columns in series (250 mm by 4.6 mm internal diameter 5 μm) with a post-column split of 160 μl/min to the UV detector (226 nm) and 640 μl/min to the mass spectrometer. Solvent A was hexane/2- propanol (197:3 v/v) and solvent B was hexane/2-propanol (70:30 v/v). Isocratic elution with 21% B was conducted for 13 min at a flow rate of 800 μl/min. A linear gradient was then run to 25% B for 18 min. For normal-phase LC system 2 we used only one of the silica columns and no split to the UV detector (226 nm). Isocratic elution with 3% B was conducted for 15 min at 1.0 ml/min. Retention times were as follows: trans -4 5-epoxy-2( E )-decenal (4.9 min) 4-oxo-2-nonenal (5.1 min) cis -4 5-epoxy-2( E )-decenal (5.5 min) 4-hydroperoxy-2-nonenal (7.5 min) 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (12.3 min). For LC/MS experiments 13-HPODE (800 nmol 400 μM) was allowed to decompose in the presence of 200 nmol of vit C (100 μM) or 2000 nmol of VIt C (1 mM) in 2 ml of pH 7.0 Chelex-treated Mops buffer (100 mM) containing NaCl (150 mM) (14) at pH 7.0 and 37°C. Aldehydes were extracted with diethyl ether (0.5 ml) and an aliquot (20 μl) was analyzed by LC/APCI/MS with concomitant UV monitoring with system 1. For quantitation experiments 13-HPODE (80 nmol 400 μM) in 200 μl of Chelex-treated pH 7.0 Mops buffer (100 mM) containing NaCl (150 mM) was reacted with increasing amounts of vit C for 2 hours at 37°C. Aldehydes were extracted into diethyl ether (200 μl) and an aliquot (25 μl) was analyzed by LC/UV with system 2. Quantitation was performed from standard curves constructed by quantitation of known amounts of authentic standards extracted from Mops buffer with ether.

Authentic 4-oxo-2-nonenal was prepared as described in (15) authentic trans -4 5-epoxy-2( E )-decenal and cis -4 5-epoxy-2( E )-decenal were prepared as in (21) authentic 4-hydroperoxy-2-nonenal was prepared enzymatically from 3( Z )-nonenal as described in (22) and 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal was obtained from Cayman (Ann Arbor MI). All samples were >98.5% pure as determined by normal-phase LC with system 2.
