The effect of liposomes with different degree of oxidation on the zymosan-induced chemiluminescence (CL) of leukocytes was investigated. Non-oxidized liposomes did not influence significantly the CL response of leukocytes. In contrast previously oxidized liposomes increased CL even if liposomes and cells were separated by a dialysis membrane. Based on the observed increase of luminol-activated CL by oxidized liposomes, lipid peroxidation (LPO) products may be suggested to enhance cell activation. Zymosan-activated leukocytes did not affect the amount of malondialdehyde (MDA) in non-oxidized liposomes unless iron salts were added. Fe3+ + ADP added to non-oxidized liposomes triggered LPO. Both catalase and superoxide dismutase (SOD) prevented the effect. In experiments with previously oxidized liposomes the activated oxygen species produced by leukocytes did not increase the amount of MDA; on the contrary, they decreased it both in the presence and in the absence of chelated iron in the liposome suspension. The reaction between lipid hydroperoxide and O2- widely accompanied by CL. SOD decreased CL in this system by a factor of 1.7. On the other hand, peroxidized lipids may "opsonize" initially inactive particles: oxidized liposomes increased CL response of leukocytes similarly as opsonized zymosan routinely used as a phagocyte activator. |
