Abstract
The relationship between the degradation reaction of cytochrome P-450 and lipid peroxidation was studied utilizing bovine adrenal cortex mitochondria. The two reactions were found to be closely correlated in terms of their response to storage of the mitochondrial preparation, stimulation by Fe2+, inhibition by EDTA and their initiation by cumene hydroperoxide. Both reactions were also found not to be inhibited by catalase, superoxide dismutase, 1,4-diazabicyclo-(2,2,2)-octane and alcohols, indicating that H2O2, superoxide, singlet oxygen and hydroxyl radicals do not participate in these reactions. Yet, diphenylamine proved to be a powerful inhibitor for both reactions, suggesting the involvement of a radical species. Cumene hydroperoxide could induce these two reactions at below 0.1 mM concentrations in the presence of molecular oxygen. The chemiluminescence observed during the Fe2+-mediated lipid peroxidation reaction which was not inhibited by either superoxide dismutase or 1,4-diazabicyclo-(2,2,2)-octane, was biphasic: one was a rapid burst; and the other was a slowly increasing emission. The latter portion of the emission of light coincided with the formation of malondialdehyde. These results indicate that in adrenal cortex mitochondria the degradation of cytochrome P-450 is closely related to lipid peroxidation.
