Effect of hyperoxia on glutathione levels and glutamic acid uptake in endothelial cells

S. M. Deneke, V. Steiger and B. L. Fanburg
Pulmonary Division, New England Medical Center Hospitals, Boston, Massachusetts.

Intracellular glutathione was increased by 80% after exposure of bovine pulmonary arterial endothelial cells to 80% O2 (hyperoxia) for 24 h. No change in glutathione occurred in cells exposed to hypoxia (3% O2) for a corresponding period of time. The rate of uptake of [3H]glutamic acid also increased by 35-55% after 24 h of exposure of cells to hyperoxia, whereas exposure to hypoxia had no effect on the [3H]glutamic acid uptake. The increase in glutamic acid uptake reflected a specific effect on amino acid transport systems rather than a change in cell membrane permeability. The major portion of the increased uptake was inhibited by the elimination of sodium and the addition of the competitive inhibitor, cystine, to the incubation medium. Thus increases in glutamic acid uptake parallel increases in cellular glutathione, and glutamic acid may be a regulating factor in the increase in glutathione after exposure to hyperoxia.
