The 15,000xg supernatant of sonicated rat PMN contains 5-lipoxygenase that converts arachidonic acid to 5-hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acid (5-HPETE) and leukotriene A4 and an HPETE peroxidase that catalyzes reduction of the 5-HPETE. The specificity of this HPETE peroxidase for peroxides, reducing agents, and inhibitors has been characterized to distinguish this enzyme from other peroxidase activities. In addition to 5-HPETE, the HPETE peroxidase will catalyze reduction of 15-hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acid, 13-hydroperoxyoctadecadienoic acid, and 15-hydroperoxy-8,11,13-eicosatrienoic acid, but not cumene or t-butylhydroperoxides. The HPETE peroxidase accepted 5 of 11 thiols tested as reducing agents. However, glutathione is >15 times more effective than any other thiol tested. Other reducing agents, ascorbate, NADH, NADPH, phenol, p-cresol, and homovanillic acid, were not accepted by HPETE peroxidase. This enzyme is not inhibited by 10 mM KCN, 2 mM aspirin, 2 mM salicylic acid, or 0.5 mM indomethacin. When 5-[14C]HPETE is generated from [14C]arachidonic acid in the presence of unlabeled 5-HPETE and the HPETE peroxidase, the 5-[14C]HETE produced is of much lower specific activity than the [14C]arachidonic acid. This indicates that the 5-[14C]HPETE leaves the active site of 5-lipoxygenase and mixes with the unlabeled 5-HPETE in solution prior to reduction and is a kinetic demonstration that 5-lipoxygenase has no peroxidase activity. Specificity for peroxides, reducing agents, and inhibitors differentiates HPETE peroxidase from glutathione peroxidase, phospholipid-hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase, a 12-HPETE peroxidase, and heme peroxidases. The HPETE peroxidase could be a glutathione S-transferase selective for fatty acid hydroperoxides. 相似文献

When arachidonic acid is added to lysates of rat polymorphonuclear leukocytes, it is oxidized to (5S)-hydroperoxy-6(E),8(Z),11(Z),14(Z)-eicosatetraenoic acid (5-HPETE). The 5-HPETE then partitions between reduction to the 5-hydroxyeicosanoid and conversion to leukotriene A4 (LTA4). Both steps in the formation of LTA4 are catalyzed by the enzyme 5-lipoxygenase. When [3H]arachidonic acid and unlabeled 5-HPETE were incubated together with 5-lipoxygenase, approximately 20% of the arachidonic acid oxidized at low enzyme concentrations was converted to LTA4 without reduction of the specific radioactivity of the LTA4 by the unlabeled 5-HPETE. A significant fraction of the [3H]-5-HPETE intermediate that is formed from arachidonic acid must therefore be converted directly to LTA4 without dissociation of the intermediate from the enzyme. This result predicts that even in the presence of high levels of peroxidase activity, which will trap any free 5-HPETE by reduction, the minimum efficiency of conversion of 5-HPETE to LTA4 will be approximately 20%, and this prediction was confirmed. 5-HPETE was found to be a competitive substrate relative to arachidonic acid, so that it is likely that the two substrates share a common active site. 相似文献

The lipids of isolated Krebs perfused rabbit kidneys and hearts were labeled with [14C]arachidonic acid. Subsequent hormonal stimulation (e.g. bradykinin, ATP) of the pre-labelled tissue resulted in dose-dependent release of [14C]prostaglandins; little or no release of the precursor [14]arachidonic acid was observed. When fatty acid-free bovine serum albumin was added to the perfusion medium as a trap for fatty acids substantial release of [14C]arachidonic acid was detected following hormonal stimulation. The release of [14C]arachidonic acid was dose-dependent and >;3 fold that of [14C]prostaglandin release. Indomethacin by inhibiting the cyclo-oxygenase, completely inhibited release of [14C]prostaglandins and only slightly inhibited release of [14C]arachidonic acid. These results demonstrate that in both rabbit kidney and heart much more substrate is released by hormonal stimulation than is converted to prostaglandins. This suggests that either the deacylation reaction is not tightly coupled to the prostaglandin synthetase system or that there are two deacrylation mechanisms, one which is coupled to prostaglandin synthesis while the other is non-specific. It has previously been shown that prostaglandin release due to hormones such as bradykinin is transient despite continued presence of the hormone (tachyphylaxis). By utilizing albumin to trap released fatty acid, it was found that hormone-stimulated release of arachidonic acid is also transient. This directly demonstrates that tachyphylaxis occurs at a step prior to the cyclo-oxygenase. 相似文献

Minced rabbit pericardium actively converts [1-14C]arachidonic acid into the known prostaglandins (6-[1-14C]ketoprostaglandin F1 alpha, [1-14C]prostaglandin E2 and [1-14C]prostaglandin F2 alpha) and into several unidentified metabolites. The major metabolite was separated by C18 reverse-phase high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) and identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to be 6,15-[1-14C]diketo-13,14-dihydroprostaglandin F1 alpha. The other nonpolar metabolites were 15-[1-14C]hydroxy-5,8,11,13-eicosa-tetraenoic acid (15-HETE), 11-[1-14C]hydroxy-5,8,12,14-eicosatetraenoic acid (11-HETE) and 12-[1-14C]hydroxy-5,8,10,14-eicosatetraenoic acid (12-HETE). Arachidonic acid metabolites actively produced by the pericardium could influence the tone of surface blood vessels on the myocardium. 相似文献

Particulate fractions and slices from fetal calf aorta convert arachidonic acid to 6-oxoprostaglandin F1 alpha (6-oxoPGF1 alpha), 6,15-dioxoPGF1 alpha, 12-hydroxy-5,8,10-heptadecatrienoic acid, 11-hydroxy-5,8,12,14-icosatetraenoic acid (11h-20:4), and 15-hydroxy-5,8,11,13-icosatetraenoic acid (15h-20:4). In some cases, small amounts of 12-hydroxy-5,8,10,14-icosatetraenoic acid (12h-20:4) were also detected. The products were all identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry after purification by normal phase and argentation high pressure liquid chromatography. Both 11h-20:4 and 15h-20:4 appeared to be formed by prostaglandin endoperoxide synthetase rather than by lipoxygenases, since their formation was inhibited by indomethacin but not by nordihydroguaiaretic acid. The formation of 12h-20:4, on the other hand, was stimulated by indomethacin, probably due to increased substrate availability. The formation of hydroxyicosatetraenoic acids was markedly stimulated by adrenaline. Substantial amounts of 6,15-dioxoPGF1 alpha were formed from arachidonic acid by particulate fractions from fetal calf blood vessels, especially in the presence of relatively high substrate concentrations. The formation of this product was stimulated by methemoglobin and inhibited by adrenaline, glutathione, and tryptophan. It would appear that particulate fractions from fetal calf aorta convert arachidonic acid to 15-hydroperoxyPGI2, which can either be reduced in the presence of various cofactors to form PGI2 or dehydrated to give 15-oxoPGI2. The formation of hydroperoxides from arachidonic acid could be an important factor in regulating PGI2 synthesis in aorta, since PGI2 synthetase is strongly inhibited by such intermediates. 相似文献

Slices of rabbit renal medulla and rabbit renal papilla were incubated with a mixture of [1-14C]-arachidonic acid and [5,6,8,9,11,12,14,15-3H]-arachidonic acid. In both tissues, comparison of the isotope ratios of the radioactive products with the isotope ratio of the added arachidonic indicated that: (a) there was no discernable isotope effect in the biosynthesis of prostaglandin E2; (b) prostaglandin F2α was formed by reduction of prostaglandin H2 and not by reduction of prostaglandin E2; and (c) most of the radioactive product arose from arachidonic acid that had been incorporated into the tissue and not from the direct action of cyclooxygenase on arachidonic acid in the medium. 相似文献

Specific high affinity binding of lipoxygenase metabolites of arachidonic acid by liver fatty acid binding protein 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8

Liver fatty acid binding protein (L-FABP) binds avidly the arachidonic acid metabolites, hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acids (HPETEs) and hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (HETEs). Binding of 15-[3H]HPETE was specific, saturable, reversible, and rapid. Protein specificity was indicated by the following order: L-FABP greater than bovine serum albumin greater than ovalbumin = beta-lactoglobulin greater than ribonuclease. Ligand specificity was evidenced by the following order of apparent competition: 15-HPETE greater than or equal to 5-HETE greater than or equal to 5-HPETE = oleic acid greater than 12-HETE greater than 12-HPETE greater than or equal to 15-HETE greater than prostaglandin E1 much greater than leukotriene C4 greater than prostaglandin E2 much greater than thromboxane B2 = leukotriene B4. Once bound, 15-HPETE was reversibly displaced. Ligand was recovered from the protein complex and confirmed to be 15-[3H]HPETE by TLC. L-FABP bound HPETE with a dissociation constant of 76 nM,5-HETE at 175 nM, and 15-HETE at 1.8 microM, and the reference fatty acids oleic acid at 1.2 microM and arachidonic acid at 1.7 microM. Thus, the affinity was approximately 16-fold greater for 15-HPETE, and 7-fold higher for 5-HETE, than for oleic acid. The need exists for studies of complexes of L-FABP with the HPETEs and HETEs in hepatocytes, especially since L-FABP has previously been associated with mitosis in normal hepatocytes, and shown to be the target protein of two liver carcinogens, and these arachidonic acid metabolites have been found to be able to modulate activities related to cell growth. 相似文献

Prostaglandin endoperoxides. VII. Novel transformations of arachidonic acid in guinea pig lung 总被引:16,自引:0,他引:16
The following labeled compounds were isolated and identified after incubation of [1-14C]arachidonic acid with guinea pig lung homogenates: 12-hydroxy-5,8,10-heptadecatrienoic acid (HHT), the hemiacetal derivative of 8-(1-hydroxy-3-oxopropyl)-9,12-dihydroxy-5,10-heptadecadienoic acid (PHD), 12-hydroxy-5,8,10,14-eicosatetraenoic acid (HETE), PGE2, PGF2α, 11-hydroxy-5,8,12,14-eicosatetraenoic acid, and 15-hydroxy-5,8,11,13-eicosatetraenoic acid (in order of decreasing yield). Perfused guinea pig lungs released PHD (654–2304 ng), HHT (192–387 ng), HETE (66–111 ng), PGE2 (15–93 ng), and PGF2α (93–171 ng) following injection of 30 μg of arachidonic acid. Thus guinea pig lung homogenates as well as intact guinea pig lung converted added arachidonic acid predominantly into PHD and HHT, metabolites of the prostaglandin endoperoxide PGG2, and to a lesser extent into the classical prostaglandins PGE2 and PGF2α. 相似文献

This study examines the possibility that the very toxic compound, 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), produces its toxic effects through induction or repression of microsomal prostaglandin synthetase (cyclooxygenase). The effects of TCDD on microsomal synthesis of prostaglandin from [14C]arachidonic acid in rabbit liver and kidney medulla were examined 24 and 72 hr after TCDD administration. A hepatotoxic dose of TCDD (30 μg/kg) did not affect prostaglandin synthetase activity of rabbit liver or kidney medulla microsomes at either time point, although other microsomal enzymes (cytochrome P-488) were altered in both tissues. 相似文献

Arachidonic acid is metabolized via the cyclooxygenase pathway to several potent compounds that regulate important physiological functions in the cardiovascular system. The proaggregatory and vasoconstrictive thromboxane A2 produced by platelets is opposed in vivo by the antiaggregatory and vasodilating activity of prostacyclin (prostaglandin I2) synthesized by blood vessels. Furthermore, arachidonic acid is metabolized by lipoxygenase enzymes to different isomeric hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (HETE's). This metabolic pathway of arachidonic acid was studied in detail in endothelial cells obtained from bovine aortae. It was found that this tissue produced 6-ketoprostaglandin F1 alpha as a major cyclooxygenase metabolite of arachidonic acid, whereas prostaglandins F2 alpha and E2 were synthesized only in small amounts. The monohydroxy fatty acids formed were identified as 15-HETE, 5-HETE, 11-HETE and 12-hydroxy-5,8,10-heptadecatrienoic acid (HHT). The latter two compounds were produced by cyclooxygenase activity. Nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA), a rather selective lipoxygenase inhibitor and antioxidant blocked the synthesis of 15- and 5-HETE. It also strongly stimulated the cyclooxygenase pathway, and particularly the formation of prostacyclin. This could indicate that NDGA might exert its effect on prostacyclin levels by preventing the synthesis of 15-hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acid (15-HPETE), a potent inhibitor of prostacyclin synthetase. 15-HPETE could therefore act as an endogenous inhibitor of prostacyclin production in the vessel wall. 相似文献

Novel biological transformations of 15-Ls-hydroperoxy-5,8,11,13-eicosatetraenoic acid 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
[1-14C]Arachidonic acid was incubated with homogenates of the fungus, Saprolegnia parasitica. The products consisted of comparable amounts of two epoxy alcohols, 15-Ls-hydroxy-11,12-epoxy-5cis,8cis,13trans- eicosatrienoic acid and 15-hydroxy-13,14-epoxy-5cis,8cis,11cis-eicosatrienoic acid. Results of incubations carried out in the presence of nordihydroguaiaretic acid, 5,8,11,14-eicosatetraynoic acid, p-hydroxymercuribenzoate as well as glutathione peroxidase plus reduced glutathione demonstrated that transformation of arachidonic acid into epoxy alcohols occurred with the formation of 15-Ls-hydroperoxy-5cis,8cis,11cis,13trans- eicosatetraenoic acid (15-HPETE) as an intermediate. The pathway involved a lipoxygenase catalyzing the oxygenation of arachidonic acid at the 15L position to produce 15-HPETE, and a hydroperoxide isomerase activity which catalyzed conversion of 15-HPETE into the two epoxy alcohols. Studies with 15-[18O2]HPETE demonstrated that both oxygens of 15-HPETE were retained in the epoxy alcohols. Furthermore, experiments with mixtures of 15-[18O2]-and 15-[16O2]HPETE showed that conversion of 15-HPETE into epoxy alcohols occurred by an intramolecular transfer of hydroperoxide oxygen. 相似文献

1. Arachidonic acid was metabolized by lipoxygenase and prostaglandin synthetase enzymes systems in the perfused ram testis. 2. The major product of the prostaglandin synthetase was 6-keto-PGF1 alpha (6KF). 3. Addition of testosterone resulted in a significant increase in the 6KF. 4. Arachidonic acid (AA) as well as testosterone penetrated the perfused testis. 5. Both 15-HPETE and 15-HETE, the products of the 15-lipoxygenase enzyme, were detected. 6. Addition of 0.1% BSA changed the pattern of the oxidized arachidonic acid metabolism. 相似文献

The HPETE peroxidase accepted 5 of 11 thiols tested as reducing agents. However, glutathione is greater than 15 times more effective than any other thiol tested. Other reducing agents, ascorbate, NADH, NADPH, phenol, p-cresol, and homovanillic acid, were not accepted by HPETE peroxidase. This enzyme is not inhibited by 10 mM KCN, 2 mM aspirin, 2 mM salicylic acid, or 0.5 mM indomethacin. When 5-[14C]HPETE is generated from [14C]arachidonic acid in the presence of unlabeled 5-HPETE and the HPETE peroxidase, the 5-[14C]HETE produced is of much lower specific activity than the [14C]arachidonic acid. This indicates that the 5-[14C]HPETE leaves the active site of 5-lipoxygenase and mixes with the unlabeled 5-HPETE in solution prior to reduction and is a kinetic demonstration that 5-lipoxygenase has no peroxidase activity. Specificity for peroxides, reducing agents, and inhibitors differentiates HPETE peroxidase from glutathione peroxidase, phospholipid-hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase, a 12-HPETE peroxidase, and heme peroxidases. The HPETE peroxidase could be a glutathione S-transferase selective for fatty acid hydroperoxides. 相似文献

Saline washed red blood cells of the toadfish convert [1-14C] arachidonic acid to products that cochromatograph with prostaglandin E2 and prostaglandin F2α. This synthesis is inhibited by indomethacin (10 μg/ml). Conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandin E2 was confirmed by mass spectrometry. When saline washed toadfish red blood cells were incubated with a mixture of [1-14C]-arachidonic acid and [5,6,8,9,11,12,14,15,-3H]-arachidonic acid, comparison of the isotope ratios of the radioactive products indicated that prostaglandin F2α was produced by reduction of prostaglandin E2. The capacity of toadfish red blood cells to reduce prostaglandin E2 to prostaglandin F2α was confirmed by incubation of the cells with [1-14C] prostaglandin E2. 相似文献

Prostaglandin production by methylcholanthrene-transformed mouse BALB/3T3. Requirement for protein synthesis 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Stimulation of prostaglandin synthesis in transformed mouse fibroblasts by serum, thrombin, and bradykinin was blocked by actinomycin D and cycloheximide. These RNA and protein synthesis inhibitors did not affect prostaglandin synthetase in vitro or in vivo; nor did they affect the acylation of arachidonic acid into phospholipids. Serum-stimulated release of arachidonic acid and prostaglandins from [3H]arachidonic acid-labeled cells also was inhibited by actinomycin D and cycloheximide. RNA and protein synthesis appear to be required for expression of phospholipase activity; a prerequisite for prostaglandin synthesis by these cells. 相似文献

The profile of primary dioxygenation products of arachidonic acid catalyzed by lipoxygenase isolated from hairy root cultures of Solanum tuberosum treated with a fungal elicitor was compared to that obtained for the enzyme from potato tubers. 11-Hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acid (11-HPETE) was the most abundant dioxygenation product formed followed by 8- and 5-HPETEs in the decreasing order of abundance. In contrast, 5-HPETE is the predominant oxidation product of lipoxygenase from potato tubers. Differences in the defense requirements of storage tuber as compared to roots may be the basis of the differences in regio-specificity demonstrated in this work. 相似文献

The capacity of cultured mesothelial cells to produce prostaglandins from both exogenous and endogenous arachidonic acid has been investigated. Incubations with labelled [1-14C]arachidonic acid and [114C]prostaglandin endoperoxide H2 indicated the formation of prostacyclin and prostaglandin E2. Evaluation of the transformation of endogenously released arachidonic acid, however, could only confirm the production of prostacyclin. 相似文献

Arachidonic acid is converted into several more polar products in addition to 12-l-hydroperoxyeicosa-5,8,10,14-tetraenoic acid (12-HPETE) and 12-l-hydroxyeicosa-5,8,10,14-tetraenoic acid (12-HETE) by the cytosol fractions of rat platelets. The more polar products are formed via the lipoxygenase pathways in the same way as are 12-HPETE and 12-HETE, since their formation is not inhibited by indomethacin but by eicosa-5,8,11,14-tetraynoic acid (ETYA). The presence of 0.5-1.5mm-reduced glutathione (GSH) in the reaction mixture prevents the formation of the more polar products and produces 12-HETE as the only metabolite from arachidonic acid by the 12-lipoxygenase pathway. l-Cysteine has the same effect as GSH. However, oxidized glutathione (GSSG) and l-cystine are not able to prevent the formation of the more polar products. The results indicate that 12-HPETE peroxidase in the 12-lipoxygenase pathway is a GSH-dependent peroxidase and the more polar products might be formed from the non-enzymic breakdown of the primary 12-lipoxygenase product of 12-HPETE, owing to insufficient capability of the subsequent peroxidase system to completely reduce 12-HPETE to 12-HETE. Thus the presence of GSH in the reaction mixture offers a convenient and precise cell-free assay system for 12-lipoxygenase in rat platelets. Routine assays of 12-lipoxygenase are carried out in the presence of 1mm-GSH in the reaction mixture. The synthesis of 12-HETE by 12-lipoxygenase is linear during the first 4 min of incubation at 37 degrees C, and has a pH optimum of 7.7. The 12-lipoxygenase reaches half-maximal activity at an arachidonate concentration of 20mum. Fractionation of cell homogenates indicates that the cytosol fraction possesses almost all the 12-lipoxygenase activity, whereas the microsomal fraction exhibits little enzyme activity. 相似文献

Catecholamines and contractility of the human myometrium at term: a possible role for prostaglandins 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The contractile response of small myometrial specimens from the term pregnant human uterus was investigated using a superfusion technique. Adrenaline, noradrenaline and dopamine all had a stimulatory effect on the contractility. It was also demonstrated that this stimulatory effect was alpha-adrenoceptor mediated. If the tissue was pretreated with the prostaglandin synthetase inhibitor indomethacin or the arachidonic acid analogue eicosa-5,8,11,14-tetraenoic acid the effect of catecholamines was significantly reduced. This suggests a specific role of prostaglandins in the mechanism of action of catecholamines on the human myometrium. 相似文献

Hormonal stimulation of arachidonate release from isolated perfused organs. Relationship to prostaglandin biosynthesis 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
The lipids of isolated Krebs perfused rabbit kidneys and hearts were labelled with [14C]arachidonic acid. Subsequent hormonal stimulation (e.g. bradykinin, ATP) of the pre-labelled tissue resulted in dose-dependent release of [14C]prostaglandins; little or no release of the precursor [14C]arachidonic acid was observed. When fatty acid-free bovine serum albumin was added to the perfusion medium as a trap for fatty acids substantial release of [14C]arachidonic acid was detected following hormonal stimulation. The release of [14C]arachidonic acid was dose-dependent and greater than 3 fold that of [14C]prostaglandin release. Indomethacin by inhibiting the cyclo-oxygenase, completely inhibited release of [14C]prostaglandins and only slightly inhibited release of [14C]arachidonic acid. These results demonstrate that in both rabbit kidney and heart much more substrate is released by hormonal stimulation than is converted to prostaglandins. This suggests that either the deacylation reaction is not tightly coupled to the prostaglandin synthetase system or that there are two deacylation mechanisms, one which is coupled to prostaglandin synthesis while the other is non-specific. It has previously been shown that prostaglandin release due to hormones such as bradykinin is transient despite continued presence of the hormone (tachyphylaxis). By utilizing albumin to trap released fatty acid, it was found that hormone-stimulated release of arachidonic acid is also transient. This directly demonstrates that tachyphylaxis occurs at a step prior to the cyclo-oxygenase. 相似文献
