Endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H20 2) release from aortic endothelial cells was studied in the presence of antioxidant enzyme inhibitors, mitochondrial inhibitors, a microsomal cytochrome P-450 inhibitor, and after oxidative stress induced with H20 2 or menadione. Extracellular H20 2 generation was determined spectrofluorometrically using 3-methoxy-4-hydroxy phenylacetic acid, and intracellular H202 production (in or near peroxisomes) was measured indirectly using aminotriazole, which inactivates catalase in the presence of H20 2• Extracellular H20 2 release was 0.079±0.005 nmol/min/mg protein in Hanks' balanced salt solution, was constant during a 120-min incubation period, and was not affected by the cell passage number. The half-life for catalase inactivation with aminotriazole was 23 min. Inhibition of catalase, glutathione reductase, or')'-glutamylcysteine synthetase did not change the rate of extracellular release of H20 2• Furthermore, inhibition of the mitochondrial respiratory chain (rotenone, antimycin A) or microsomal cytochrome P-450 (8-methoxypsoralen) did not change extracellular H20 2 release or intracellular H20 2 production (at peroxisomes) by endothelial cells or cells in which glutathione reductase was inactivated. When the cells were exposed to exogenous H20 2 (30 j. tM), extracellular H20 2 was scavenged primarily by the glutathione redox pathway. Exogenously added H20 2 (100 j. tM) changed intracellular H20 2 production (in or near peroxisomes) only when the glutathione redox cycle was inactivated. Menadione (20 j. tM), which undergoes intracellular redox cycling, increased extracellular H20 2 release almost 4-fold to 0.3 nmol/min/mg protein. Furthermore, menadione increased peroxisomal H20 2 levels and decreased the half-life for catalase inactivation in the presence of aminotriazole to 13 min. Catalase inhibition increased extracellular H20 2 release during menadione treatment, indicating that H20 2 can diffuse across the plasma membrane during oxidant stress. The results suggest that in cultured endothelial cells, reactive oxygen species generated at the mitochondrial or microsomal levels can be scavenged locally without the involvement of peroxisomal catalase and that reactive oxygen species that are released extracellularly are generated by these cells at a site that is inaccessible to catalase or glutathione reductase.Regulation of reactive oxygen species formation and degradation in tissues is important not only to our understanding of normal oxidative metabolism but also to our understanding of pathologic conditions in which reactive oxygen species are overproduced. Reactive oxygen species are generated and released during respiration by a variety of cell types. Vascular endothelial cells are well recognized as being extremely sensitive to oxidative injury (1-4). The extent of injury in endothelial cells is dependent on the degree of oxidative stress and the status of antioxidant defense systems (5). Although endothelial cells contain both catalase and su-
