Abstract

Hypochlorous acid (HOCl), a strong oxidant generated by the myeloperoxidase system of neutrophils and monocytes, has been implicated in inflammatory tissue damage by these cells. Reaction of HOCl with the double bonds of unsaturated lipids produces alpha, beta-chlorohydrin isomers. We have exposed red cell membranes to HOCl and used thin layer chromatography (TLC) of the extracted lipids and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), using an antichlorohydrin monoclonal antibody, to show that fatty acyl chlorohydrins are formed. The ELISA was approximately 25 fold more sensitive than TLC, and chlorohydrins were detected when membranes from 10(6) cells were treated with > or = 0.16 nmoles HOCl. Lipid chlorohydrins are more polar and bulky than their parent lipids and as such could affect membrane stability and function. To determine the effect of incorporation of lipid chlorohydrins into cell membranes, preformed fatty acid and cholesterol chlorohydrins were incubated with red cells. Lysis was measured as release of haemoglobin and incorporation of lipids was determined by 14C scintillation counting. Addition of HOCl-treated oleic acid to red cells resulted in rapid lysis of a fraction of the cells in a concentration dependent manner. HOCl-treated cholesterol also caused a small amount of cell lysis that was predominantly due to chlorohydrin 3, one of the three major cholesterol chlorohydrin products. Chlorohydrin 3, which has a decreased planarity and polarity, was also primarily responsible for altering the critical micelle concentration of HOCl-treated cholesterol-containing liposomes.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
