The effects of nitroglycerin (glyceryl trinitrate - GTN) are mediated by
liberated nitric oxide (NO) and formed reactive nitrogen species, which
induces oxidative stress during biotransformation in red blood cells
(RBCs). The aim of this study was to evaluate effects of GTN on
antioxidative defense system (AOS) in rat erythrocytes (without) and
reticulocytes (with functional mitochondria). Rat erythrocyte and
reticulocyte-rich RBC suspensions were aerobically incubated (2 h, 37
degrees C) without (control) or in the presence of different
concentrations of GTN (0.1-1.5 mM). After incubation, concentrations of
non-enzymatic components of AOS, activities of antioxidative enzymes and
oxidative pentose phosphate (OPP) pathway activity were followed in RBC
suspensions. In rat reticulocytes, GTN decreased the activity of
mitochondrial MnSOD and increased the activity of CuZnSOD. In rat RBCs,
GTN induced increase of Vit E concentration (at high doses), but
decreased glutathione content and activities of all
glutathione-dependent antioxidative enzymes; the OPP pathway activity
significantly increased. GTN biotransformation and induction of
oxidative stress were followed by general disbalance of antioxidative
capacities in both kinds of RBCs. We suggest that oxidative stress,
MnSOD inhibition and depletion of glutathione pool in response to GTN
treatment lead to decreased bioavailability of NO after GTN
biotransformation in rat reticulocytes.
