Diffusion of Peroxynitrite into the Human Platelet Inhibits Cyclooxygenase via Nitration of Tyrosine Residues1

Department of Pharmacology, New York Medical College, Valhalla, New York

Peroxynitrite (ONOO-), a reactive oxidant produced by the reaction between nitric oxide and superoxide, was found to diffuse into the platelet cytosol and inhibit arachidonic acid-induced platelet aggregations with IC50 value of 5.8 ± 1.2 µM. A fluorescence assay established that ONOO- diffused into the platelet cytosol in a manner that was inhibited (50-70%) by 4,4'-diisothiocyanatostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid, an inhibitor of HCO3-/Cl- anion exchanger. Treatment of platelets with (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (2 µM), a tea polyphenol and inhibitor of tyrosine nitration, abolished the inhibitory effect of ONOO- on arachidonate-induced aggregations by 88%. ONOO- (50-300 µM), added to platelets 1 min before arachidonic acid, inhibited (20-100%) formation of platelet cyclooxygenase (COX) products thromboxane A2 and 12-hydroxyheptadecatrienoic acid. Interestingly, simultaneous addition of ONOO- and arachidonic acid stimulated eicosanoid production by 20 to 60%. The inhibition of thromboxane A2 generation correlated with the 5- to 10-fold increase in the 3-nitrotyrosine levels of the platelet COX. Experiments with purified COX-1 and COX-2 also showed 9-fold increase of 3-nitrotyrosine levels, which correlated with decreased (93-98%) production of prostaglandin H2 when ONOO- (50 µM) was added 1 min before arachidonic acid. However, the addition of ONOO- (50-100 µM) simultaneously with arachidonic acid increased prostaglandin H2 formation by 30 to 60%. Thus, the inhibitory effect of ONOO- involved nitration of COX tyrosine residues, whereas the stimulatory effect was likely to be a result of ONOO- functioning as a peroxide activator of eicosanoid signaling. Increasing doses of ONOO- not only inhibited platelet COX but also induced formation of unique eicosanoids: iso-prostaglandin F2alpha , epoxyhydroxyeicosatrienoic acid, and trans-arachidonic acids, suggesting that OH and NO2 radicals were generated from ONOO- in platelets. Formation of ONOO- from NO and superoxide may function as a platelet hormone-like COX regulatory mechanism in inflammatory processes in which large amounts of these molecules are produced.
