Since TNFRSF induces cell death by causing an efflux of glutathione (GSH) in other cell types [ 42 ] we sought to determine if pretreatment of CLENDO cells with GSH would attenuate lethality associated with TNFα treatment.
IL-8, MCP-1 and RANTES gene expression are regulated by the redox responsive transcription factor NF-κB [ 18 20 23 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 41 42 43 44 ] . The NF-κB signaling pathways have been shown to be differentially affected by antioxidants and glucocorticoid steroids [ 45 ] . To determine whether RSV and TNFα induction of chemokine expression might be mediated by different NF-κB signaling pathways we pretreated A549 cells with the glutathione precursor N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) or the synthetic glucocorticoid dexamethasone (DEX).
The prodrug TLK286 [γ-glutamyl-α-amino-β(2-ethyl-N,N,N,N-tetrakis(2-chloroethyl)phosphorodiamidate)-sulfonyl-propionyl-(R)-(-)phenylglycine] is activated by glutathione S-transferase (GST) P1-1 and to a lesser degree A1-1 and generates tetrakis chloroethyl alkylating moieties that can react with cellular nucleophiles.
GST: Glutathione S-transferase
Glutathione peroxidase (GPX) activity of tissue homogenates was determined using a microplate adaptation of the glutathione peroxidase assay of Paglia and Valentine [ 27 ] . This method follows the decrease in absorbance at 340 nm as NADPH is converted to NADP.
