Organic hydroperoxides are produced in the eicosanoid metabolism and by lipid peroxidation. To examine the contribution of glutathione peroxidase-1 (GPx1) and glutathione (GSH) in the disposal of organic hydroperoxides in brain astrocytes, primary astrocyte cultures from wild type or GPx1-deficient (GPx1(-/-)) mice were exposed to cumene hydroperoxide (CHP). After application of 100 microM CHP, the peroxide disappeared quickly from the incubation medium of wild type cells with a half-life of 9 min, whereas CHP clearance was strongly retarded in GPx1(-/-) astrocytes. Depletion of GSH by pre-incubation with buthionine sulfoximine (BSO) significantly slowed CHP clearance by wild type astrocytes, while almost completely preventing peroxide disposal by GPx1(-/-) cells. In contrast, the catalase inhibitor 3-aminotriazole (3AT) had no effect on CHP clearance. Application of CHP to wild type astrocytes was followed by a rapid and transient accumulation of GSSG, whereas in GPx1(-/-) cells no increase in the GSSG content was detected. Astrocytes from both mouse lines remained viable for up to 24 h following CHP exposure, however depletion of cellular GSH by pre-treatment with BSO compromised the viability of astrocytes, an effect that was stronger in GPx1(-/-) than in wild type cells. This cell death was almost completely prevented by iron chelators, whereas pre-incubation with iron increased CHP toxicity. These novel data demonstrate that the toxicity of organic hydroperoxides in astrocytes is iron-mediated, and that an intact GSH system is required for the effective removal of organic hydroperoxides and for protection from these peroxides.
