The goal of these studies was to examine the effect of phospholipid peroxidation (LPO) on the function of surfactant protein A (SP-A). Surfactant phospholipids were incubated with free-radical generators, in the absence or presence of the SP-A, or bovine serum albumin as a control. We found that SP-A inhibited copper-initiated LPO to an extent that was similar to bovine serum albumin (p<0.05). Exposure of SP-A to LPO was associated with an increase in the level of SP-A-associated carbonyl moieties and a marked reduction in SP-A mediated aggregation of liposomes. LPO initiated by an azo-compound also resulted in enhanced protein oxidation, and markedly inhibited SP-A-mediated liposome aggregation. The kinetics of aggregation of auto-oxidized and non-oxidized liposomes by non-oxidized SP-A was similar suggesting that SP-A has similar affinities for oxidized and non-oxidized lipids. Oxidative inactivation of SP-A did not occur upon direct incubation of the protein with malondialdehyde alone. We conclude that exposure of SP-A to LPO results in oxidative modification and functional inactivation of SP-A by phospholipid radicals.
