Glutathione peroxidase inhibitory assay for electrophilic pollutants in diesel exhaust and tobacco smoke

We developed a rapid kinetic bioassay demonstrating the inhibition of glutathione peroxidase 1 (GPx-1) by organic electrophilic pollutants, such as acrolein, crotonaldehyde, and p-benzoquinone, that are frequently found as components of tobacco smoke, diesel exhaust, and other combustion sources. In a complementary approach, we applied a high-resolution proton-transfer reaction time-of-flight mass spectrometer to monitor in real-time the generation of electrophilic volatile carbonyls in cigarette smoke. The new bioassay uses the important antioxidant selenoenzyme GPx-1, immobilized to 96-well microtiter plates, as a probe. The selenocysteine bearing subunits of the enzyme’s catalytic site are viewed as cysteine analogues and are vulnerable to electrophilic attack by compounds with conjugated carbonyl systems. The immobilization of GPx-1 to microtiter plate wells enabled facile removal of excess reactive inhibitory compounds after incubation with electrophilic chemicals or aqueous extracts of air samples derived from different sources. The inhibitory response of cigarette smoke and diesel exhaust particle extracts were compared with chemical standards of a group of electrophilic carbonyls and the arylating p-benzoquinone. GPx-1 activity was directly inactivated by millimolar concentrations of highly reactive electrophilic chemicals (including acrolein, glyoxal, methylglyoxal, and p-benzoquinone) and extracts of diesel and cigarette smoke. We conclude that the potential of air pollutant components to generate oxidative stress may be, in part, a result of electrophile-derived covalent modifications of enzymes involved in the cytosolic antioxidant defense.

Effect of Combustion Improver on Combustion Behavior of Cigarette Paper by Simultaneous TG/DSC Detection

Combustion behavior of cigarette paper containing different content of combustion improver was investigated in order to provide direct experiment data to elucidate lower components in cigarette smoke caused by combustion improver in cigarette paper. The content of the combustion improver was denoted as "organic" potassium index and determined by atomic absorption spectroscopy and ionic spectroscopy. The combustion process obtained by simultaneous thermal analysis was divided into four stages: weight loss due to loss of absorbent water, decomposition of the cellulose, the oxidation of the cellulose char and decomposition of calcium carbonate. Combustion improver reduced the temperature of cellulose decomposition 3–12 K and contributed to oxidation of the cellulose char. Ignition point was gained and reduced 3–8 K by combustion improver. Above results were further verified by samples from two other cigarette paper factories. Mechanism of lower components in cigarette smoke by the combustion improver in cigarette paper was discussed.     

Improved real-time puff-by-puff GC-MS system for whole smoke analysis

An automated puff-by-puff mainstream smoke (MSS) system is developed to monitor real-time whole smoke in mainstream cigarette smoke using gas chromatography (GC)-mass spectrometry (MS). The whole-smoke analysis is based on automated sample collection and injection into the GC-MS system. The important feature of this system is the real-time rapid analysis that is simple, sensitive, precise, flexible, and exhibits low carryover of volatile and semivolatile smoke constituents. The system is equipped with an automated sampling and switching valve and a smoking machine. The key improvements of the system, as compared with current and alternative methodologies, include minimizing variations caused by operator sampling techniques, the real-time analysis of MSS, the detection of flavorants in MSS from a single puff of cigarette smoke, the ability to analyze numerous smoke constituents from either whole smoke or the gas phase of a single puff, the ability to monitor a few selected smoke constituents in whole smoke using multiple puffs, and its good feasibility compared with solvent extraction and impinger trapping procedures for volatile organic compounds in MSS. System configuration and sampling methodologies are described. Sensitivity, flexibility, precision, feasibility, carryover, and applications of the system are discussed.
