Abstrakt: | Glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPx4) is a unique antioxidant enzyme that directly reduces the phospholipid hydroperoxides (PLOOH) generated in biomembranes using glutathione as the reductant. We have previously reported that the Caenorhabditis elegans gpx -quad mutant, which lacks all homologous genes of GPx4 has a reduced lifespan compared with the wild-type. However, the mechanisms underlying the lifespan reduction remain unclear. By monitoring the change in PLOOH production with age, we found that PLOOH was elevated in the gpx -quad mutants compared with the wild-type during the reproductive period. Administration of vitamin E not only reduced the PLOOH content but also prolonged the lifespan of the gpx -quad mutants. In contrast, vitamin C did not extend the lifespan of the gpx -quad mutants. Interestingly, we found that the inhibition of lipid peroxidation by vitamin E during 5 to 10 days after hatching is important to extend the lifespan of C. elegans . These results suggest that production of PLOOH during the reproductive period strongly influences the lifespan of C. elegans . Competing Interests: No potential conflicts of interest were disclosed.
