Heightened susceptibility of fish oil polyunsaturate-enriched neoplastic cells to ethane generation during lipid peroxidation

We have studied the generation of volatile hydrocarbons by fatty acid- modified L1210 leukemia cells in tissue culture as a measure of lipid peroxidation. There was considerable generation of ethane, and this was dependent on cell number and Fe2+ concentration; it was eliminated by antioxidants and augmented by ascorbic acid. The assay was sensitive and reproducible; ethane was detected when as little as 0.03% of the cellular n-3 (omega-3) fatty acids were peroxidized. To gain further understanding we used a lipid modification model that allows study of cells enriched with fatty acids of different degrees of unsaturation. The quantity of ethane generated was greatest by cells modified with fatty acids of the n-3 family, and there was a high direct correlation of percentage of n-3 fatty acids contained in cellular lipids with peroxidation as measured by ethane generation. Ethane generation was more sensitive in detecting peroxidation than loss of polyunsaturated fatty acids. We conclude that lipid-supplemented leukemic cells produce ethane, and that the rate of generation is a sensitive, quantitative, and highly useful measure of lipid peroxidation when small amounts of iron are present.
