Defining oxidant stress

Is term “stress” always appropriate?

no universally agreed definition

issues with semantics

- is this too simplistic?

“Redox imbalance leading to over-abundance of oxidants”

Easy but inadequate concept?

Not all redox components are in equilibrium

•chemically•spatially•Temporally

Require some consideration of chemistry

Why do many people think oxidants are simply “bad” and antioxidants “good”?

In 1991 the Linus Pauling Institute recommended daily doses of

6g to 18g vitamin C

400 to 1600 IU vitamin E

25000 IU of vitamin A,

plus other supplements

Evidence?

Page 9: „Oxidant stress‟ -Basic Concepts...Vitamin supplementation trials -smoking. The Alpha-Tocopherol, Beta-Carotene Cancer Prevention (ATBC) Study. 29,000 male smokers randomly assigned

Re-evaluated 19 vitamin E antioxidant trials between1994 and 2004

136,000 patients in North America, Europe and China

Death rate increased: 1 in 20 chance of dying earlier if 200IU Vitamin E

25% Americans use vitamin E supplements, with >60% taking >400IU day

How many die early?

Vitamin supplementation trials - smokingThe Alpha-Tocopherol, Beta-Carotene Cancer Prevention (ATBC) Study

29,000 male smokers randomly assigned to of beta carotene, vitamin E, both, or placebo

After 6 years lung cancer incidence was 16 percent higher in supplement group

The all-cause death rate was also 8% higher

Trial stopped early

The Beta-Carotene and Retinol Efficacy Trial (CARET)

18,000 smokers, former smokers, or workers exposed to asbestos

Randomly assigned to beta-carotene and vitamin A (or placebo)

Trial stopped early

Four years follow up lung cancer incidence was 28 percent higher in supplement group

All-cause death rate was also 17% higher

Page 11: „Oxidant stress‟ -Basic Concepts...Vitamin supplementation trials -smoking. The Alpha-Tocopherol, Beta-Carotene Cancer Prevention (ATBC) Study. 29,000 male smokers randomly assigned

No benefit from supplementation

- indications of harm?

Molecular basis of oxidant stress (damage)

oxidant + target biomolecule

target biomolecule oxidation = damage

Page 13: „Oxidant stress‟ -Basic Concepts...Vitamin supplementation trials -smoking. The Alpha-Tocopherol, Beta-Carotene Cancer Prevention (ATBC) Study. 29,000 male smokers randomly assigned

Molecular basis of oxidant stress (signalling)

oxidant + target biomolecule

target biomolecule oxidation = signalling

How can we differentiate damage from signalling?

Defining oxidation and reduction

These are reactions where electrons are transferred from one species to another

Oxidation is the loss of electrons from a species - the agent causing the loss of electrons is an oxidant

Reduction is the gain of electrons - the agent donating the electrons is a reductant

Oxidation and reduction in terms of hydrogen transfer

- oxidation is loss of hydrogen

- reduction is gain of hydrogen

e.g. 2GSH + H2O2 → G-S-S-G + 2H2O

Reactions of oxidants with biological targets

Oxidants can target virtually all biological molecules

•DNA, RNA, cholesterol, lipids, carbohydrates, proteins and antioxidants

Extent of target oxidation depends on many factors•concentration of oxidant and target•rate constant for reaction of oxidant with target •location of target versus oxidant•occurrence of secondary damaging events•occurrence of transfer reactions•repair and scavenging reactions

Biochem. J., 1997, 324, 1-18; Biochim. Biophys. Acta, 2001, 1504, 196-219

target oxidation = signalling or damage?

How can selective / specific oxidant-signalling occur when there are so many thiols in the cell?

1-5mM glutathione plus other small thiols intracellular

1000‟s different protein thiols

Doesn‟t the oxidant just react with all these thiol targets?

not all thiols are „equal‟

some are more nucleophilic than other

nucleophiles react with electrophiles (oxidants)

this provides a molecular basis for selective oxidant signalling

Thiol pKa determines its reactivity

pKa is the pH at which [RSH] = [RS-]

or pH when the thiol is 50% ionised

RSH RS− + H+

Oxidants (e.g. H2O2) will reacts very, very slowly with RSH..

… but very, very fast with RS-

Some proteins that are easily oxidized by H2O2 in isolation are unlikely to be directly oxidized in a cell

- until more favourable targets (peroxiredoxins) are oxidized..
