• Of the microsomal P450 cytochromes, the ethanol-inducible isoform, P450 2E1, is believed to be predominant in leading to oxidative damage, including the generation of radical species that contribute to lipid peroxidation, and in the reductive β-scission of lipid hydroperoxides to give hydrocarbons and aldehydes. In the present study, the sensitivity of a series of P450s to trans-4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE), a known toxic product of membrane lipid peroxidation, was determined. After incubation of a purified cytochrome with HNE, the other components of the reconstituted system (NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase, phosphatidylcholine, and NADPH) were added, and the rate of oxygenation of 1-phenylethanol to yield acetophenone was assayed. Inactivation occurs in a time-dependent and HNE concentration-dependent manner, with P450s 2E1 and 1A1 being the most sensitive, followed by isoforms 1A2, 3A6, and 2B4. At an HNE concentration of 0.24 μM, which was close to the micromolar concentration of the enzyme, four of the isoforms were significantly inhibited, but not P450 2B4. In other experiments, the reductase was shown to be only relatively weakly inactivated by HNE. P450s 2E1 and 2B4 in microsomal membranes from animals induced with acetone or phenobarbital, respectively, are as readily inhibited as the purified forms. Evidence was obtained that the P450 heme is apparently not altered and the sulfur ligand is not displaced, that substrate protects against HNE, and that the inactivation is reversed upon dialysis. Higher levels of reductase or substrate do not restore the activity of inhibited P450 in the catalytic assay. Our results suggest that the observed inhibition of the various P450s is of sufficient magnitude to cause significant changes in the metabolism of foreign compounds such as drugs and chemical carcinogens by the P450 oxygenase system at HNE concentrations that occur in biological membranes. In view of the known activities of P450 2E1 in generating lipid hydroperoxides and in their β-scission, its inhibition by this product of membrane peroxidation may provide a negative regulatory function.
