Peroxynitrite, an oxidant generated by the interaction between superoxide and nitric oxide (NO), can nitrate tyrosine residues, resulting in compromised protein function. Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) is a chemokine that attracts monocytes and has a tyrosine residue critical for function. We hypothesized that peroxynitrite would alter MCP-1 activity. Peroxynitrite attenuated MCP-1-induced monocyte chemotactic activity (MCA) in a dose-dependent manner (P < 0.05) but did not attenuate leukotriene B4 or complement-activated serum MCA. The reducing agents dithionite, deferoxamine, and dithiothreitol reversed the MCA inhibition by peroxynitrite, and exogenous L-tyrosine abrogated the inhibition by peroxynitrite. PAPA-NONOate, an NO donor, or superoxide generated by xanthine and xanthine oxidase did not show an inhibitory effect on MCA induced by MCP-1. The peroxynitrite generator 3-morpholinosydnonimine caused a concentration-dependent inhibition of MCA by MCP-1. Peroxynitrite reduced MCP-1 binding to monocytes and resulted in nitrotyrosine formation. These findings are consistent with nitration of tyrosine by peroxynitrite, with subsequent inhibition of MCP-1 binding to monocytes, and suggest that peroxynitrite may play a role in regulation of MCP-1-induced monocyte chemotaxis.
