  • Title: O2- generation and lipid peroxidation during the oxidation of a glycated polypeptide, glycated polylysine, in the presence of iron-ADP.
    Author: Sakurai T, Sugioka K, Nakano M.
    Journal: Biochim Biophys Acta; 1990 Mar 12; 1043(1):27-33. PubMed ID: 2155661.
    Abstract:
    Oxidation of glycated polylysine, a model compound of glycated protein, caused O2- production even at physiological pH, which could be accelerated by Fe3(+)-ADP. An enediol structure in glycated polylysine and related compounds, which could be confirmed by I2 uptake, was related to their oxidizability. Glycated polylysine was easily coordinated with Fe3+ even in the presence of phosphate at pH 7.4 and the formation of the iron complex was prevented by desferrioxamine. The exposure of unsaturated phospholipid liposomes to glycated polylysine-Fe3(+)-ADP system caused the production of a thiobarbituric acid-reacting substance, which was completely inhibited by 5 microM alpha-tocopherol or 150 microM desferrioxamine and slightly by 0.5 microM SOD. Catalase (20 micrograms/ml) and 10 mM sodium-benzoate did not affect the iron-glycated polylysine-induced lipid peroxidation, indicating no participation of an OH. in this reaction. A ferrous ion-coordinated glycated polylysine may act as an initiator of phospholipid peroxidation in the presence of oxygen. A possible mechanism of the iron-glycated polylysine-induced lipid peroxidation was discussed.
