Apoptosis plays a critical role in maintaining homeostasis of the intestinal epithelium, Dietary oxidants like peroxidized lipids could perturb cellular redox status and disrupt mucosal turnover. The objective of this study,vas to delineate the role of lipid hydroperoxide (LOOH) -induced redox shifts in intestinal apoptosis using the human colonic CaCo-2 cell. We found that subtoxic concentrations of LOOM increased CaCo-2 cell apoptosis, This LOOM-induced apoptosis was associated with a significant decrease in the ratio of reduced glutathione-to-oxidized glutathione (GSH/GSSG), which preceded DNA fragmentation by 12 to 14 h, suggesting a temporal relationship between the two events. Oxidation of GSM with the thiol oxidant diamide caused significant decreases in cellular GSH and GSH/GSSG at 15 min that correlated with the activation of caspase 3 (60 min) and cleavage of PARP (120 min), confirming a temporal link between induction of cellular redox imbalance and initiation of apoptotic cell death. These kinetic studies further reveal that oxidant-mediated early redox change (within 1 h) was a primary inciting event of the apoptotic cascade, Once initiated, the recovery of redox balance did not prevent the progression of CaCo-2 cell apoptosis to its biological end point at 24 h. Collectively, the study shows that subtoxic levels of LOOM disrupt intestinal redox homeostasis, which contributes to apoptosis, These results provide insights into the mechanism of hydroperoxide-induced mucosal turnover that have important implications for understanding oxidant-mediated genesis of gut pathology.
