Title A metabolic model describing the H2O2 elimination by mammalian cells including H2O2 permeation through cytoplasmic and peroxisomal membranes: comparison with experimental data.
Journal Biochim Biophys Acta
Abstract We have constructed a metabolic model describing the H2O2 elimination by mammalian cells. It comprises three compartments (medium, cytosol, and peroxisome) separated by cytoplasmic and peroxisomal membranes, and H2O2 moves across the membranes with different permeation rate constants. Catalase localizes to peroxisomes, while glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and GSH recycling system (glutathione reductase (GR) and the oxidative pentose phosphate pathway (PPP)) localize to cytosol. The rates of individual enzyme reactions were computed using the experimentally determined activities and rate equations known for mammalian enzymes. Using the model, the concentration dependence of H2O2 elimination rate was obtained by numerical simulation and was compared with experimental data obtained previously with cultured mammalian cells (fibroblasts, human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC), and PC12 cells). The model was shown to be able to reproduce the data well by assuming appropriate values for the permeability rate constants. The H2O2 permeability coefficients thus estimated for cytoplasmic and peroxisomal membranes were in the same order of magnitude, except that the value for cytoplasmic membrane of PC12 cell was significantly smaller. The results suggest that the membrane permeability is one of the rate-limiting factors in the H2O2 elimination by mammalian cells. Using the model and estimated parameter values, we have examined the rate-limiting enzyme of the metabolic system, as well as the intracellular H2O2 concentration under steady-state and non-steady-state conditions.
