Modulation of Oxidant Stress In Vivo in Chronic Cigarette Smokers

Presented in part at the annual meeting of the American Society for Clinical Investigation, Washington, DC, May 1994, and at the Ninth International Conference on Prostaglandins and Related Compounds, Florence, Italy, August 1994.

Background Free radical–induced oxidative damage is thought to be involved in the pathogenesis of diseases associated with cigarette smoking. We examined the production of 8-epi-prostaglandin (PG) F2{alpha}, a stable product of lipid peroxidation in vivo, and its modulation by aspirin and antioxidant vitamins in chronic cigarette smokers.

Methods and Results We performed the following studies: (1) a cross-sectional comparison of smokers and control subjects, (2) an examination of the dose-response relationship, (3) an exploration of the effect of smoking cessation (3 weeks) and nicotine patch supplementation, (4) the effect of aspirin consumption, and (5) the effects of 5 days' dosing with vitamin E (100 and 800 U), vitamin C (2 g), and their combination. 8-epi-PGF2{alpha} excretion (in pmol/mmol, mean±SEM) was 176.5±30.6 in heavy smokers, 92.7±4.8 (P<.05) in moderate smokers, and 54.1±2.7 (P<.005) in nonsmokers. Urinary levels fell from 145.5±24.9 to 114.6±27.1 (week 2, P<.05) and 112.6±24.9 (week 3, P<.05) on cessation of smoking. Aspirin treatment failed to suppress urinary levels of 8-epi-PGF2{alpha} despite a significant reduction in urinary 11-dehydro-TxB2 production and suppression of 8-epi-PGF2{alpha} and TxB2 in serum. Vitamin C (pre, 194.6±40.9; post, 137.2±34.1; P<.05) and a combination of vitamin C and E (pre, 171.0±39.8; post, 133.5±29.6; P<.05) suppressed urinary 8-epi-PGF2{alpha}, whereas vitamin E alone had no effect.

Conclusions Urinary 8-epi-PGF2{alpha} may represent a noninvasive, quantitative index of oxidant stress in vivo. Elevated levels of 8-epi-PGF2{alpha} in smokers may be modulated by quitting cigarettes and switching to nicotine patches or by antioxidant vitamin therapy.
