Abstract: | The oxidation of the 15-hydroxy group of prostaglandins of the A, E, and F series by the NAD+-dependent prostaglandin dehydrogenase (PGDH) has been well documented. In addition to prostaglandins, we have observed that the purified lung PGDH also will oxidize 15-HETE to a novel metabolite that was isolated by reverse-phase HPLC and identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry as the 15-keto-5,8,11-cis-13-trans-eicosatetraenoic acid (15-KETE). The Km for 15-HETE was 16 microM, which was 2.5 times lower than the value obtained for PGE1. In addition to 15-HETE, 5,15-diHETE and 8,15-diHETE also were substrates for the lung PGDH with Km values of 138 and 178 microM, respectively. Other hydroxy derivatives of eicosatetraenoic acid that did not have a hydroxy group at carbon atom 15 did not support the PGDH-mediated reduction of NAD+. In addition to the 15-hydroxy derivatives of eicosatetraenoic acid, 12-HHT also was a substrate for the lung enzyme with a Km of 12 microM. These data indicate that omega 6-hydroxy fatty acids, in addition to prostaglandins, are also substrates of the lung NAD+-dependent PGDH and that the enzyme does not require the cyclopentane ring of prostaglandins. |
