The importance of the glutathione (GSH) redox cycle and of catalase as intracellular antioxidant defense systems in cultured endothelial cells against an extracellular flux of H2O2, a critical mediator of polymorphonuclear leukocyte-induced oxidant injury of endothelial cells, was examined. The activities of different parts of the GSH redox cycle were impaired by 1,3-bis(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea, buthionine sulfoximine, diethyl maleate and 2-cyclohexene-1-one. Catalase activity was inhibited by 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole. After an impairment of the GSH redox cycle, but not of catalase, the susceptibility of pulmonary artery endothelial cells to an attack by H2O2 was dramatically increased independent of the source of extracellularly generated hydrogen peroxide (i.e., glucose oxidase or stimulated polymorphonuclear leukocytes). Exogenous catalase, d-alpha-tocopherol, and particularly Trolox, the chroman compound of tocopherol, but not phytol, the fatty acid side chain of tocopherol, provided almost complete protection of the endothelial cells against a H2O2-mediated attack. Additional fluorometric studies suggested that H2O2 is scavenged by the antioxidants before it hits the target cells.
