Arachidonic acid metabolites as mediators of synaptic modulation 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A Volterra 《Cell biology international reports》1989,13(12):1189-1199
The neurotransmitters histamine, dopamine and the peptide Phe-Met-Arg-Phe-NH2 (FMRFa) cause presynaptic inhibition in the nervous system of the marine mollusk Aplysia Californica by combined down-modulation of a Ca++ conductance and up-modulation of a K+ conductance. The action of FMRFa on the S-type K+ channels of Aplysia sensory neurons is mediated by a metabolite of the 12-lipoxygenase pathway of arachidonic acid, possibly 12-HPETE. A Pertussis toxin-sensitive GTP binding protein couples FMRFa receptor to the activation of the arachidonic cascade. Once produced, 12-HPETE does not require ATP- or GTP-dependent processes to act on the K+ channels, but it may directly modulate the channel via an external membrane receptor. Based on this observation, a role for eicosanoids as possible intercellular messengers in the C.N.S. is discussed. 相似文献

The hyperpolarizing factor that is liberated by vascular endothelial cells in response to various agonists, and known to induce relaxation by opening of smooth muscle K+ channels, has been suggested to be a product of cytochrome P450 dependent arachidonic acid metabolism. In this study, the direct influence of two phospholipase A2 inhibitors and of five structurally and mechanistically different cytochrome P450 inhibitors on K+ currents in freshly isolated vascular smooth muscle cells from the rat aorta was investigated. On stepping the cell membrane potential from -70 mV to a series of depolarized test potentials, a noisy outward current developed at test potentials > +10 mV, which showed no appreciable inactivation during the voltage pulse. It was largely abolished by 3 mM external tetraethylammonium chloride (TEA), suggesting that it predominantly consisted of current through large-conductance Ca(2+)-activated K+ channels. The phospholipase A2 inhibitor quinacrine considerably inhibited this TEA-sensitive current, while 4-bromophenacylbromide exerted no effect. The cytochrome P450 inhibitors proadifen and miconazole reversibly decreased the amplitude of I(K), while clotrimazole and 1-aminobenzotriazole had no effect. Conversely, 17-octadecynoic acid increased whole-cell I(K). These results show that some phospholipase A2 and cytochrome P450 inhibitors may interfere with K+ channel activation in the rat arterial smooth muscle cell. The relevance of these findings to studies on the involvement of cytochrome P450 dependent metabolism in the generation of the endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor in intact arteries is discussed. 相似文献

12-Hydroperoxy-5,8,10,14-eicosatetraenoic acid (12-HPETE), a lipoxygenase product, simulates the synaptic responses produced by the modulatory transmitter, histamine, and the neuroactive peptide, Phe-Met-Arg-Phe-amide (FMRFamide), in identified neurons of the marine mollusk, Aplysia californica (Piomelli, D., Shapiro, E., Feinmark, S. J., and Schwartz, J. H. (1987) J. Neurosci. 7, 3675-3886; Shapiro, E., Piomelli, D., Feinmark, S., Vogel, S., Chin, G., and Schwartz, J. H. (1988) Cold Spring Harbor Symp. Quant. Biol. 53, in press). The 12-lipoxygenase pathway has not yet been fully characterized, but 12-HPETE is known to be metabolized further. We therefore began to search for other metabolites in order to investigate whether the actions of 12-HPETE might require its conversion to other active products. Here we report the identification of 12-keto-5,8,10,14-eicosatetraenoic acid (12-KETE), a metabolite of 12-HPETE formed by Aplysia nervous tissue. This product was identified in incubations of the tissue with arachidonic acid using high performance liquid chromatography, UV spectrometry, and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. [3H]12-KETE was formed from endogenous lipid stores in nervous tissue, labeled by incubation with [3H]arachidonic acid, when stimulated by application of histamine. In L14 and L10 cells, identified neurons in the abdominal ganglion, applications of 12-KETE elicit changes in membrane potential similar to those evoked by histamine. 12(S)-Hydroxy-5,8,10,14-eicosatetraenoic acid, another metabolite of 12-HPETE, is inactive. These results support the hypothesis that 12-HPETE and its metabolite, 12-KETE, participate in transduction of histamine responses in Aplysia neurons. 相似文献

Phospholipases A2 (PLA2) comprise a set of extracellular and intracellular enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of the sn-2 fatty acyl bond of phospholipids to yield fatty acids and lysophospholipids. The PLA2 reaction is the primary pathway through which arachidonic acid (AA) is released from phospholipids. PLA2s have an important role in cellular death that occurs via necrosis or apoptosis. Several reports support the hypothesis that unesterified arachidonic acid in cells is a signal for the induction of apoptosis. However, most of the biological effects of arachidonic acid are attributable to its metabolism by mainly three different groups of enzymes: cytochromes P450, cyclooxygenases, and lipoxygenases. In this review we will focus on the role of cytochrome P450 in AA metabolism and toxicity. The major pathways of arachidonic acid metabolism catalyzed by cytochrome P450 generate metabolites that are subdivided into two groups: the epoxyeicosatrienoic acids, formed by CYP epoxygenases, and the arachidonic acid derivatives that are hydroxylated at or near the omega-terminus by CYP omega-oxidases. In addition, autoxidation of AA by cytochrome P450-derived reactive oxygen species produces lipid hydroperoxides as primary oxidation products. In some cellular models of toxicity, cytochrome P450 activity exacerbates PLA2- and AA-dependent injury, mainly through the production of oxygen radicals that promote lipid peroxidation or production of metabolites that alter Ca2+ homeostasis. In contrast, in other situations, cytochrome P450 metabolism of AA is protective, mainly by lowering levels of unesterified AA and by production of metabolites that activate antiapoptotic pathways. Several lines of evidence point to the combined action of phospholipase A2 and cytochrome P450 as central in the mechanism of cellular injury in several human diseases, such as alcoholic liver disease and myocardial reperfusion injury. Inhibition of specific PLA2 and cytochrome P450 isoforms may represent novel therapeutic strategies against these diseases. 相似文献

TRPV1 is a member of the transient receptor potential ion channel family and is gated by capsaicin, the pungent component of chili pepper. It is expressed predominantly in small diameter peripheral nerve fibers and is activated by noxious temperatures >42 °C. 20-Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE) is a cytochrome P-450 4A/4F-derived metabolite of the membrane phospholipid arachidonic acid. It is a powerful vasoconstrictor and has structural similarities with other TRPV1 agonists, e.g. the hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acid 12-HPETE, and we hypothesized that it may be an endogenous ligand for TRPV1 in sensory neurons innervating the vasculature. Here, we demonstrate that 20-HETE both activates and sensitizes mouse and human TRPV1, in a kinase-dependent manner, involving the residue Ser(502) in heterologously expressed hTRPV1, at physiologically relevant concentrations. 相似文献

Abstract: The peptide neurotransmitter Phe-Met-Arg-PheNH2 (FMRFamide) increases outward K+ currents and promotes dephosphorylation of many phosphoproteins in Aplysia sensory neurons. We examined FMRFamide-induced current responses in sensory neurons injected with thiophosphorylated protein phosphate inhibitor-1 and inhibitor-2 (I-1 and I-2), two structurally different vertebrate protein phosphatase-1 (PP1) inhibitors to define a role for PP1 in the physiological actions of FMRFamide. Thiophosphorylated I-1 and I-2 both reduced the amplitude of outward currents elicited by FMRFamide by 50–60% and were as effective as microcystin-LR, which inhibited both PP1 and protein phosphatase-2A in Aplysia neuronal extracts. These data suggested that of the two major neuronal protein serine/threonine phosphatases, FMRFamide utilized primarily PP1 to open serotonin-sensitive K+ (S-K+ ) channels. Earlier studies showed that a membrane-associated phosphatase regulated S-K+ channels in cell-free patches from sensory neurons. Utilizing its unique substrate specificity and inhibitor sensitivity, we have characterized PP1 as the principal protein phosphatase associated with neuronal plasma membranes. Two protein phosphatase activities (apparent Mr values of 170,000 and 38,000) extracted from crude membrane preparations from the Aplysia nervous system were shown to be isoforms of PP1. These biochemical and physiological studies suggest that PP1 is preferentially associated with neuronal membranes and that its activity may be required for the induction of outward K+ currents in the Aplysia sensory neurons by FMRFamide. 相似文献

Biochemical characterization of rat P450 2C11 fused to rat or bacterial NADPH-P450 reductase domains 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
cDNAs coding for rat P450 2C11 fused to either a bacterial (the NADPH-cytochrome P450 BM3 reductase domain of P450 BM3) or a truncated form of rat NADPH-P450 reductases were expressed in Escherichia coli and characterized enzymatically. Measurements of NADPH cytochrome c reductase activity showed fusion-dependent increases in the rates of cytochrome c reduction by the bacterial or the mammalian flavoprotein (21 and 48%, respectively, of the rates observed with nonfused enzymes). Neither the bacterial flavoprotein nor the truncated rat reductase supported arachidonic acid metabolism by P450 2C11. In contrast, fusion of P450 2C11 to either reductase yielded proteins that metabolized arachidonic acid to products similar to those obtained with reconstituted systems containing P450 2C11 and native rat P450 reductase. Addition of a 10-fold molar excess of rat P450 reductase markedly increased the rates of metabolism by both fused and nonfused P450s 2C11. These increases occurred with preservation of the regioselectivity of arachidonic acid metabolism. The fusion-independent reduction of P450 2C11 by bacterial P450 BM3 reductase was shown by measurements of NADPH-dependent H(2)O(2) formation [73 +/- 10 and 10 +/- 1 nmol of H(2)O(2) formed min(-)(1) (nmol of P450)(-)(1) for the reconstituted and fused protein systems, respectively]. These studies demonstrate that (a) a self-sufficient, catalytically active arachidonate epoxygenase can be constructed by fusing P450 2C11 to mammalian or bacterial P450 reductases and (b) the P450 BM3 reductase interacts efficiently with mammalian P450 2C11 and catalyzes the reduction of the heme iron. However, fusion is required for metabolism and product formation. 相似文献

Cytochrome P450s have generally been acknowledged as broadly tuned detoxifying enzymes. However, emerging evidence argues P450s have an integral role in cell signaling and developmental processes, via their metabolism of retinoic acid, arachidonic acid, steroids, and other cellular ligands. To study the morphogenesis of Drosophila sensory organs, we examined mutants with impaired mechanosensation and discovered one, nompH, encodes the cytochrome P450 CYP303a1. We now report the characterization of nompH, a mutant defective in the function of peripheral chemo- and mechanoreceptor cells, and demonstrate CYP303a1 is essential for the development and structure of external sensory organs which mediate the reception of vital mechanosensory and chemosensory stimuli. Notably this P450 is expressed only in sensory bristles, localizing in the apical region of the socket cell. The wide diversity of the P450 family and the growing number of P450s with developmental phenotypes suggests the exquisite tissue and subcellular specificity of CYP303a1 illustrates an important aspect of P450 function; namely, a strategy to process critical developmental signals in a tissue- and cell-specific manner. 相似文献

[1-14C]Arachidonic acid was incubated with isolated bovine adrenal fasciculata cells for 15 min at 37gC. The metabolites were separated and purified by reverse- and straight-phase high performance liquid chromatography, and identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry or radioimmunoassay. Identified metabolites were 5-hydroxy-6,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoic acid (5-HETE), 15-hydroxy-5,8,11,13-eicosatetraenoic acid (15-HETE), leukotriene B4 and 11,14,15-trihydroxy-5,8,12-eicosatrienoic acid (11,14,15-THET). Addition of 15-hydroperoxy-5,8,11,13-eicosatetraenoic acid (15-HPETE), an intermediate metabolite of 15-lipoxygenase pathway to microsomes of bovine adrenal fasciculata cells resulted in the formation of 11,14,15-THET. The formation of 11,14,15-THET by microsomes was not dependent on the presence of NADPH, while it was dose-dependently suppressed by ketoconazole, a potent inhibitor of cytochrome P-450 dependent enzymes. These results indicate that 5- and 15-lipoxygenase pathways of arachidonic acid may exist in bovine adrenal fasciculata cells and that 15-HPETE is further metabolized to 11,14,15-THET by adrenal microsomal cytochrome P-450. 相似文献

Multiple eicosanoid-activated nonselective cation channels regulate B-lymphocyte adhesion to integrin ligands 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Arachidonic acid (AA) is a substrate for a variety of proinflammatory mediators, which are generated by cyclooxygenases (COXs), lipoxygenases (LOXs), and cytochrome P-450 (CYP450) enzymes. COX (e.g., PGs and prostacyclins) and LOX (e.g., leukotrienes) products have well-established proinflammatory roles; however, little is known about the functions of CYP450 products in leukocytes. We previously found that mechanical strain generated by subjecting lymphocytes to hypotonic challenge triggered AA production and that two CYP450 products of AA, 5,6-epoxyeicosatrienoic acid (5,6-EET) and 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE), as well as a product of LOX, 5-(S)-hydroperoxyeicosatetrenoic acid (5-HPETE), induced Ca2+ entry into primary B cells. The main goal of the present studies, therefore, was to define the biophysically properties of eicosanoid-activated channels responsible for Ca2+ entry and the physiological consequences of activating these channels, including their role in mechanical signaling. We found that 5,6-EET, 20-HETE, and 5-HPETE each activated distinct Ca2+-permeant nonselective cation channels (NSCCs) in primary B cells. These NSCCs each regulate plasma membrane potential and B-cell adhesion to integrin ligands ICAM-1 and VCAM-1. Thus our data demonstrate that proinflammatory mediators produced in response to osmotic and/or physical stress play a direct role in regulating the B-cell membrane potential and their adhesion to specific ECM proteins. These results not only have important implications for understanding normal mechanisms of B-cell activation, differentiation, and trafficking but also point to novel targets for modulating the pathogenesis of B-cell-mediated inflammatory diseases. calcium; arachidonic acid; membrane potential; hypotonicity; cytochrome P-450 相似文献

Recent evidence indicates that the arachidonate metabolite 12-hydroxy-5,8,10,14-eicosatetraenoic acid (12-HETE) or its precursor may act as a second messenger in stimulus-response coupling in a variety of cells including Aplysia neurons, adrenal glomerulosa cells, and pancreatic islets. The compound 12(S)-HETE is generated from the precursor 12(S)-hydroperoxy-5,8,10,14-eicosatetraenoic acid (12(S)-HPETE), which is a product of the 12-lipoxygenase enzyme. Some cells have recently been found to produce the enantiomer 12(R)-HETE, apparently via a cytochrome P-450 monooxygenase, and the biologic actions of 12(R)-HETE and 12(S)-HETE differ. We have examined the stereochemistry of 12-HETE from isolated pancreatic islets both radiochemically and by a new mass spectrometric method capable of quantitating subnanogram amounts of 12-HETE stereoisomers. Endogenous 12-HETE from islets was found to be exclusively the S-isomer. D-Glucose stimulated both insulin secretion and islet accumulation of 12(S)-HETE but not of 12(R)-HETE. Pharmacologic inhibition of islet 12-HETE biosynthesis also suppressed glucose-induced insulin secretion. These findings suggest that islet 12-HETE is a product of a 12-lipoxygenase rather than of a cytochrome P-450 monooxygenase and further implicate 12-lipoxygenase products in stimulus-secretion coupling. 相似文献

Renal microsomal cytochrome P-450-dependent arachidonic acid metabolism was correlated with the level of cytochrome P-450 in the rabbit kidney. Cobalt, an inducer of haem oxygenase, reduced cytochrome P-450 in both the cortex and medulla in association with a 2-fold decrease in aryl-hydrocarbon hydroxylase, an index of cytochrome P-450 activity, and a similar decrease in the formation of cytochrome P-450-dependent arachidonic acid metabolites by renal microsomes (microsomal fractions). Formation of the latter was absolutely dependent on NADPH addition and was prevented by SKF-525A, an inhibitor of cytochrome P-450-dependent enzymes. Arachidonate metabolites of cortical microsomes were identified by g.c.-m.s. as 20- and 19-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid, 11,12-epoxyeicosatrienoic acid and 11,12-dihydroxyeicosatrienoic acid. The profile of arachidonic acid metabolites was the same for the medullary microsomes. Induction of cytochrome P-450 by 3-methylcholanthrene and beta-naphthoflavone increased cytochrome P-450 content and aryl-hydrocarbon hydroxylase activity by 2-fold in the cortex and medulla, and this correlated with a 2-fold increase in arachidonic acid metabolites via the cytochrome P-450 pathway. These changes can also be demonstrated in cells isolated from the medullary segment of the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle, which previously have been shown to metabolize arachidonic acid specifically via the cytochrome P-450-dependent pathway. The specific activity for the formation of arachidonic acid metabolites by this pathway is higher in the kidney than in the liver, the highest activity being in the outer medulla, namely 7.9 microgram as against 2.5 micrograms of arachidonic acid transformed/30 min per nmol of cytochrome P-450 for microsomes obtained from outer medulla and liver respectively. These findings are consistent with high levels of cytochrome P-450 isoenzyme(s), specific for arachidonic acid metabolism, primarily localized in the outer medulla. 相似文献

Aplysia S-type K+ channels of sensory neurons play a dominant role in presynaptic facilitation and behavioural sensitization. They are closed by serotonin via cAMP-dependent phosphorylation, whereas they are opened by arachidonic acid, volatile general anaesthetics and mechanical stimulation. We have identified a cloned mammalian two P domain K+ channel sharing the properties of the S channel. In addition, the recombinant channel is opened by lipid bilayer amphipathic crenators, while it is closed by cup-formers. The cytoplasmic C-terminus contains a charged region critical for chemical and mechanical activation, as well as a phosphorylation site required for cAMP inhibition. 相似文献

Preventive effect of MCI-186 on 15-HPETE induced vascular endothelial cell injury in vitro 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8

Using cultured bovine aortic endothelial cells, the effects of MCI-186, a radical scavenger, were studied on arachidonic acid metabolism and on the cell injury caused by 15-HPETE. MCI-186 at 3 X 10(-5) M enhanced prostacyclin production in the intact endothelial cells without affecting phospholipase A2. When endothelial cell homogenates were used as an enzyme source, it was found that MCI-186 stimulated the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostacyclin like phenol, perhaps by trapping OH radicals produced in the process of the conversion of PGG2 to PGH2. On the other hand, MCI-186 was found to inhibit lipoxygenase metabolism of arachidonic acid in cell free homogenates of rat basophilic leukemia cells. The lipoxygenase inhibition caused by 3 X 10(-5) M MCI-186 was almost equivalent to that caused by 3 X 10(-6) M BW 755C. MCI-186 remarkably protected against endothelial cell damage caused by 15-HPETE. 3 X 10(-5) M of 15-HPETE caused endothelial cell death in about 60% of the population: however, pretreatment of the cells with 10(-5) M of MCI-186 or concomitant addition of 10(-5) M of MCI-186 with 15-HPETE to the cultures prevented the cell death completely. These results suggest that MCI-186 may become an unique anti-ischemic drug. 相似文献

We have used patch-clamp techniques to study the effects of arachidonic acid (AA) on the activity of the 70-pS K+ channel, the predominant type of the two apical K+ channels operating under physiological conditions in the thick ascending limb (TAL) of the rat kidney. Addition of 5-10 microM AA blocked the activity of the 70-pS K+ channel in both cell- attached and inside-out patches. The inhibitory effect of AA was specific, because application of 10 microM linoleic acid, oleic acid, or palmitic acid failed to mimic the effect of AA. The effect of AA could not be blocked by pretreatment of the TAL tubules with either 5 microM indomethacin (inhibitor of cyclooxygenase) or 4 microM cinnamyl- 3,4-dihydroxy-alpha-cyanocinnamate (CDC) (inhibitor of lipooxygenase). In contrast, addition of 5 microM 17-octadecynoic acid (17-ODYA), an inhibitor of P450 monooxygenases, abolised the effect of AA on the channel activity, indicating that the effect was mediated by cytochrome P450 metabolites of AA. Addition of 10 nM 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE), the main metabolite of the cytochrome P450 metabolic pathway in the medullary TAL, mimicked the inhibitory effect of 10 microM AA. However, addition of 100 nM 19-HETE or 17-HETE had no significant effects and 100 nM 20-carboxy AA (20-COOH) reduced the channel activity by only 20%, indicating that the inhibitory effect of 20-HETE was specific and responsible for the action of AA. Inhibition of the P450 metabolic pathway by either 5 microM 17-ODYA or 12, 12- dibromododec-11-enoic acid (DBDD) dramatically increased the channel activity by 280% in cell-attached patches. The stimulatory effect of 17- ODYA or DBDD was not observed in inside-out patches. The results strongly indicate that 20-HETE is a specific inhibitor for the 70-pS K+ channel and may play an important role in the regulation of the K+ channel activity in the TAL. 相似文献

The effects of three chemically different groups of compounds, (triterpenoid saponins, beta-phenylethylamines and tetrahydroisoquinolines), known to be present in Desmodium adscendens, on plasma membrane ion channel, cytochrome P450 NADPH-dependent oxygenation of arachidonic acid, and production of prostaglandins by the cyclooxygenase enzyme system, are described. The very high-conductance calcium-activated potassium ion channel, which is responsible for the maintenance of tone in smooth muscles, was activated by the saponins. The cytochrome P450 NADPH-dependent monooxygenase reaction, which produces epoxy- and hydroxylated eicosanoids from arachidonic acid metabolism, was inhibited by an analogue of the tetrahydroisoquinoline present in the plant. This analogue also acted as a reductant in the prostaglandin synthesizing system using microsomes from ram seminal vesicles. The same system was activated by the beta-phenylethylamines found in the plant material, with the formation of more prostaglandins, the type being dependent on the amount of cyclooxygenase enzyme used and the presence or absence of coenzyme. 相似文献

Appearance of an arachidonic acid 15-lipoxygenase pathway upon differentiation of the human promyelocytic cell-line HL-60 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The metabolism of arachidonic acid and 15-HPETE was studied in a human promyelocytic cell line (HL-60). Upon exposure to DMSO, HL-60 cells undergo differentiation and acquire a 15-lipoxygenase activity while undifferentiated cells challenged with either arachidonic acid or 15-HPETE did not enzymatically transform these precursors. Products of the arachidonic acid 15-lipoxygenase pathway were identified by HPLC. UV-absorption and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Results indicate that upon differentiation HL-60 cells express a 15-lipoxygenase activity as well as the ability to transform 15-HPETE to 8,15-DHETEs and 14,15-DHETE. Moreover, these findings suggest that products of the 15-lipoxygenase cascade may be generated by a single cell system. 相似文献

Noncyclooxygenase metabolites of arachidonic acid may be potent modulators of the mitogenic response of renal mesangial cells to the mitogenic vasoactive peptide arginine vasopressin (AVP). Since Ca2+ is a critical second messenger in the response of mesangial cells to AVP, and Ca2+ has been implicated in the regulation of growth, we determined whether noncyclooxygenase metabolites altered the phospholipase C-Ca2+ signalling cascade which is activated by AVP. Pretreatment of mesangial cells for 10 min with lipoxygenase and cytochrome P450 monooxygenase inhibitors, nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA, 10(-5) M) or SKF-525A (2.5 x 10(-5) M), but not the cyclooxygenase inhibitor indomethacin (2 x 10(-5) M), reduced the magnitude of the AVP (10(-8) and 10(-7) M)-induced increase in cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) without affecting inositol trisphosphate production. With 10(-8) M AVP, [Ca2+]i increased to 250 +/- 47 nM in NDGA-treated cells versus 401 +/- 59 nM in control cells (p less than 0.01). [Ca2+]i, measured 2 min after exposure to AVP, was also lower with NDGA (152 +/- 21 nM) when compared with AVP alone (220 +/- 22 nM, p less than 0.01). 14,15-epoxyeicosatrienoic acid (EET) (10(-8) M), which had no effect on inositol trisphosphate production, completely reversed the NDGA-induced inhibition of the [Ca2+]i transient, whereas 5-hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acid (HPETE) (5 x 10(-7) M) did not. Pretreatment with higher concentrations of 14,15-EET (10(-7)-10(-6) M) markedly potentiated the AVP-induced increase in [Ca2+]i. NDGA-induced inhibition of the AVP-generated [Ca2+]i transient was also observed when cells were incubated in low Ca2+ media ([Ca2+] less than 5 x 10(-8) M), suggesting that NDGA pretreatment impaired intracellular release of Ca2+. Since NDGA had no direct effect on inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-induced Ca2+ release, we postulated that NDGA blocked production of a metabolite that releases Ca2+ from intracellular stores. 14,15-EET and 15-HPETE, but not 15-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (each at 3 x 10(-7) M), raised [Ca2+]i when added directly to cells in low Ca2+ media. In permeabilized cells 14,15-EET and 15-HPETE (10(-7) M) potently released Ca2+ from intracellular stores. In summary, noncyclooxygenase metabolites of arachidonic acid, and in particular P450 metabolites, are potent endogenous amplifiers of the AVP-induced [Ca2+]i signal by mechanisms not directly involving phospholipase C activation. This effect is mediated, at least in part, by enhanced release of Ca2+ from intracellular storage sites by an inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-independent mechanism. 相似文献

The nature of the calcium-dependent chemiluminescence observed in peritoneal macrophages after exposure to the calcium ionophore A23187 or during the phagocytosis of zymosan has been investigated. Eicosatetraynoic acid, an inhibitor of the lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase pathways of arachidonic acid metabolism, inhibited the calcium-dependent chemiluminescence whereas indomethacin, a selective inhibitor of the cyclooxygenase pathway, did not. Arachidonic acid induced chemiluminescence only in phagocytosing cells, whilst 15-HPETE, an intermediate of the lipoxygenase pathway, generated a similar, transient chemiluminescent response in either unstimulated or phagocytosing cells. The results suggest that the lipoxygenase pathway may be a significant source of the reactive species of oxygen that give rise to chemiluminescence. Prostaglandin E1 inhibited the chemiluminescence induced by zymosan and A23187, but did not affect that generated in response to 15-HPETE or arachidonic acid, suggesting that the inhibition is directed at a step either connected with or occurring prior to the release of free arachidonic acid by the cells. 相似文献
