A novel fluorimetric assay, allowing independent measurement of the activities of two principal cytosolic forms of human aldehyde dehydrogenase, ALDH-1 and ALDH-3 (known as a tumour-associated ALDH) was applied to estimate the activities of these isoenzymes in human liver and thyroid tumours. The assay is based on two artificial substrates, 6-methoxy-2-naphthaldehyde (MONAL-62) and 7-methoxy-1-naphthaldehyde (MONAL-71), exhibiting excellent substrate properties toward various forms of human ALDH (see Wierzchowski et al., 1997, Anal. Biochem. 245, 69-78). We have found significant differences in ALDH activities between malignant and non-malignant tissue fragments, particularly in cancerous livers. Out of 16 tumours examined, only 4 exhibited ALDH-1 activities comparable to that found in the tumour-free tissue (0.5-2.5 U/g), while in the remaining 12 this activity was at least 10-fold lower. The ALDH-3 activity was detectable in about 40% of both tumour and tumour-free liver samples (maximum value 1.5 U/g). Comparison of 13 pathological thyroid fragments revealed ALDH activities in the range of 0.02 to 0.35 U/g, with two malignant samples showing activities of 0.27 and 0.18 U/g. Both substrate specificity and kinetic behaviour of the thyroid ALDH (Km values for the fluorogenic naphthaldehydes as well as propanal inhibition profile) were similar to those of the purified ALDH-1. In 5 thyroid samples traces of ALDH-3 activity was detected, using MONAL-62 and NADP+ as substrates (maximum value 0.04 U/g). Possible prognostic value of the foregoing measurements for cyclophosphamide chemotherapy is discussed.

 Fluorimetric method based on oxidation of the fluorogenic 6-methoxy-2-naphthaldehyde was applied to evaluate temporal and population variability of the specific activity of salivary aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) and the degree of its inactivation in healthy human population. Analyzed was also its dependence on drinking and smoking habits, coffee consumption, and its sensitivity to N-acetylcysteine. Both the specific activity of salivary ALDH and the degree of its inactivation were highly variable during the day, with the highest activities recorded in the morning hours. The activities were also highly variable both intra- and interpersonally, and negatively correlated with age, and this correlation was stronger for the subgroup of volunteers declaring abstinence from alcohol and tobacco. Moderately positive correlations of salivary ALDH specific activity with alcohol consumption and tobacco smoking were also recorded (rs ~0.27; p = 0.004 and rs = 0.30; p = 0.001, respectively). Moderate coffee consumption correlated positively with the inactivation of salivary ALDH, particularly in the subgroup of non-drinking and non-smoking volunteers. It was found that mechanical stimulation of the saliva flow increases the specific activity of salivary ALDH. The specific activity of the salivary ALDH was strongly and positively correlated with that of superoxide dismutase, and somewhat less with salivary peroxidase. The antioxidant-containing drug N-acetylcysteine increased activity of salivary ALDH presumably by preventing its inactivation in the oral cavity. Some food-related aldehydes, mainly cinnamic aldehyde and anisaldehyde, were excellent substrates of the salivary ALDH3A1 enzyme, while alkenals, particularly those with short chain, were characterized by lower affinity towards this enzyme but high catalytic constants. The protective role of salivary ALDH against aldehydes in food and those found in the cigarette smoke is discussed, as well as its participation in diminishing the effects of alcohol- and smoking-related oxidative stress.
