Acrolein and 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE) are byproducts of lipid peroxidation and
are thought to play central roles in various traumatic injuries and disease
states that involve cellular oxidative stress, for example, spinal cord trauma,
diabetes, and Alzheimer's disease. In this review, we will discuss the chemical
attributes of acrolein and HNE that determine their toxicities. Specifically,
these aldehydes are classified as type 2 alkenes and are characterized by an
alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl structure. This structure is a conjugated system
that contains mobile pi-electrons. The carbonyl oxygen atom is electronegative
and can promote the withdrawal of mobile electron density from the beta-carbon
atom causing regional electron deficiency. On the basis of this type of electron
polarizability, both acrolein and HNE are considered to be soft electrophiles
that preferentially form 1,4-Michael type adducts with soft nucleophiles.
Proteomic, quantum mechanical, and kinetic data will be presented, indicating
that cysteine sulfhydryl groups are the primary soft nucleophilic targets of
acrolein and HNE. This is in contrast to nitrogen groups on harder biological
nucleophiles such as lysine or histidine residues. The toxicological outcome of
adduct formation is not only dependent upon residue selectivity but also the
importance of the targeted amino acid in protein function or structure. In
attempting to discern the toxicological significance of a given adduct, we will
consider the normal roles of cysteine, lysine, and histidine residues in proteins
and the relative merits of corresponding adducts in the manifestations of
diseases or toxic states. Understanding the molecular actions of acrolein and HNE
could provide insight into many pathogenic conditions that involve initial
cellular oxidative stress and could, thereby, offer new efficacious avenues of
pharmacological defense.
