Abstract

Tempol and tempo are stable free radical nitroxides that possess antioxidant properties. In this study, we examined the effects of these compounds on components of the mitogen-activated protein kinase signal transduction cascade. Tempo treatment (15 min) of MDA-MB 231 human breast cancer cells resulted in significant levels of tyrosine phosphorylation of several as yet unidentified proteins compared with equimolar concentration of tempol (10 mM). Both compounds caused tyrosine phosphorylation and activation of Raf-1 protein kinase (30 min, 2-3-fold). Interestingly, however, only tempol caused increased extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1 activity (2 h, approximately 3-fold). On the other hand, tempo, but not tempol, potently activated stress-activated protein kinase (2 h, >3-fold). Consistent with these data, tempol was found to be noncytotoxic, whereas tempo induced apoptotic cell death (2 h, >50%). Tempo treatment also resulted in significant elevation of ceramide levels at 30 min (54% over control) and 1 h (71% over control) posttreatment, preceding stress-activated protein kinase activation and apoptosis. These data suggest that in the absence of an environmental oxidative stress, tempol and tempo elicit distinct cellul...Continue Reading
