The present study examined the movement of extracellular CysSH using stable isotope-labeled cystine (CysSSCys), which is transported into cells and reduced to CysSH. Exposure of HepG2 cells to 100 µM stable isotope-labeled CysSSCys resulted in 70 µM labeled CysSH in cell medium 1 h after CysSSCys exposure. When the cell medium was collected and incubated with either hydrogen peroxide (H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>) or atmospheric electrophiles, such as 1,2-naphthoquinone, 1,4-naphthoquinone and 1,4-benzoquinone, CysSH in the cell medium was almost completely consumed. In contrast, extracellular levels of CysSH were unaltered during exposure of HepG2 cells to H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> for up to 2 h, suggesting redox cycling of CysSSCys/CysSH in the cell system. Experiments with and without changing cell medium containing CysSH from HepG2 cells revealed that oxidative and electrophilic modifications of cellular proteins, caused by exposure to H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> and 1,2-naphthoquinone, were significantly repressed by CysSH in the medium. We also examined participation of enzymes and/or antioxidants in intracellular reduction of CysSSCys to CysSH. These results provide new findings that extracellular CysSH derived from CysSSCys plays a role in the regulation of oxidative and electrophilic stress.</p>","PeriodicalId":12411,"journal":{"name":"Free Radical Research","volume":" ","pages":"323-332"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140908475","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
