Abstract
Ferroptosis represents a distinct form of programmed cell death triggered by excessive iron accumulation and lipid peroxidation-induced damage. This mode of cell death differentiates from classical programmed cell death in terms of morphology and biochemistry. Ferroptosis stands out for its exceptional biological characteristics and has garnered extensive research and conversations as a form of programmed cell death. Its dysfunctional activation is closely linked to the onset of diseases, particularly inflammation and cancer, making ferroptosis a promising avenue for combating these conditions. As such, exploring ferroptosis may offer innovative approaches to treating cancer and inflammatory diseases. Our review provides insights into the relevant regulatory mechanisms of ferroptosis, examining the impact of ferroptosis-related factors from both physiological and pathological perspectives. Describing the crosstalk between ferroptosis and tumor- and inflammation-associated signaling pathways and the potential of ferroptosis inducers in overcoming drug-resistant cancers are discussed, aiming to inform further novel therapeutic directions for ferroptosis in relation to inflammatory and cancer diseases.

Wu Z, Fang L, Liu B, Jia Q, Cheng JC, Sun YP. Biomarkers identification in follicular fluid of women with OHSS by using UPLC-MS method. Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2023; 14:1131771. [PMID: 36967756 PMCID: PMC10031058 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2023.1131771] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/26/2022] [Accepted: 02/21/2023] [Indexed: 03/29/2023] Open
Abstract
To figure out the differentially changed metabolites and disturbed pathways in follicular fluid (FF) of patients with OHSS in comparison to the control group undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF), we conducted this metabolomic analysis between two groups, the OHSS group included 30 patients treated with oocyte retrieval and developed OHSS in the next 7-14 days, while another 30 patients without OHSS tendency were selected as the control group. The FF samples were obtained during the process of oocyte retrieval. FF samples were analyzed using ultra-high liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS). The results identified a total of 59 differentially changed metabolites, including 33 decreased metabolites (P < 0.01) and 26 increased metabolites (P < 0.01) in FF of OHSS compared with the control group. 12 metabolites could be the most valuable biomarkers for OHSS based on ROC results. Our correlation analyses showed that deoxyinosine levels were found positively correlated with serum estradiol (E2) levels in OHSS patients, while L-isoleucine, pyruvic acid, maleamate, and arachidonic acid were found to be positively correlated with the number of retrieved oocytes. Furthermore, 4-hydroxyphenylacetaldehyde, deoxycorticosterone, creatinine, and creatine were found to be negatively associated with serum E2 levels, while 4-hydroxyphenylacetaldehyde, L-carnitine, isovaleric acid and L-2-hydroxyglutaric acid were negatively related with the number of oocytes retrieved in OHSS patients. Taken together, our study provides better identification of OHSS FF metabolic dynamics, suggesting the metabolic compounds can be used as valuable predictors or treatment targets of OHSS.

Protective Effects of Low-Dose Alcohol against Acute Stress-Induced Renal Injury in Rats: Involvement of CYP4A/20-HETE and LTB 4/BLT1 Pathways. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2021; 2021:4475968. [PMID: 34691354 PMCID: PMC8528604 DOI: 10.1155/2021/4475968] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/19/2021] [Revised: 09/20/2021] [Accepted: 09/29/2021] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
Low-dose alcohol possesses multiple bioactivities. Accordingly, we investigated the protective effect and related molecular mechanism of low-dose alcohol against acute stress- (AS-) induced renal injury. Herein, exhaustive swimming for 15 min combined with restraint stress for 3 h was performed to establish a rat acute stress model, which was verified by an open field test. Evaluation of renal function (blood creatinine and urea nitrogen), urine test (urine leukocyte esterase and urine occult blood), renal histopathology, oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis was performed. The key indicators of the cytochrome P450 (CYP) 4A1/20-hydroxystilbenetetraenoic acid (20-HETE) pathway, cyclooxygenase (COX)/prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) pathway, and leukotriene B4 (LTB4)/leukotriene B4 receptor 1 (BLT1) pathway were measured by real-time PCR and ELISA. We found that low-dose alcohol (0.05 g/kg, i.p.) ameliorated AS-induced renal dysfunction and histological damage. Low-dose alcohol also attenuated AS-induced oxidative stress and inflammation, presenting as reduced malondialdehyde and hydrogen peroxide formation, increased superoxide dismutase and glutathione activity, and decreased myeloperoxidase, interleukin-6, interleukin-1β, and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 levels (P < 0.05). Moreover, low-dose alcohol alleviated AS-induced apoptosis by downregulating Bax and cleaved caspase 3 protein expression and reduced numbers of terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end label-positive cells (P < 0.01). Correlation analysis indicated that 20-HETE was strongly correlated with oxidative stress, while LTB4 was strongly correlated with inflammation. Low-dose alcohol inhibited AS-induced increases in CYP4A1, CYP4A2, CYP4A3, CYP4A8, and BLT1 mRNA levels and LTB4 and 20-HETE content (P < 0.01). Interestingly, low-dose alcohol had no effect on COX1 or COX2 mRNA expression or the concentration of PGE2. Furthermore, low-dose alcohol reduced calcium-independent phospholipase A2 mRNA expression, but did not affect secreted phospholipase A2 or cytosolic phospholipase A2 mRNA expression. Together, these results indicate that low-dose alcohol ameliorated AS-induced renal injury by inhibiting CYP4A/20-HETE and LTB4/BLT1 pathways, but not the COX/PGE2 pathway.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a newly discovered type of cell death triggered by intracellular phospholipid peroxidation that is morphologically, biologically and genetically distinct from other types of cell death. Ferroptosis is classified as regulated necrosis and is more immunogenic than apoptosis. To date, compelling evidence indicates that ferroptosis plays an important role in inflammation, and several antioxidants functioning as ferroptosis inhibitors have been shown to exert anti-inflammatory effects in experimental models of certain diseases. Our review provides an overview of the link between ferroptosis and inflammation; a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying ferroptosis and inflammation may hasten the development of promising therapeutic strategies involving ferroptosis inhibitors to address inflammation.

Arachidonic Acid Metabolism and Kidney Inflammation. Int J Mol Sci 2019; 20:ijms20153683. [PMID: 31357612 PMCID: PMC6695795 DOI: 10.3390/ijms20153683] [Citation(s) in RCA: 178] [Impact Index Per Article: 35.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/08/2019] [Revised: 07/19/2019] [Accepted: 07/20/2019] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
As a major component of cell membrane lipids, Arachidonic acid (AA), being a major component of the cell membrane lipid content, is mainly metabolized by three kinds of enzymes: cyclooxygenase (COX), lipoxygenase (LOX), and cytochrome P450 (CYP450) enzymes. Based on these three metabolic pathways, AA could be converted into various metabolites that trigger different inflammatory responses. In the kidney, prostaglandins (PG), thromboxane (Tx), leukotrienes (LTs) and hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (HETEs) are the major metabolites generated from AA. An increased level of prostaglandins (PGs), TxA2 and leukotriene B4 (LTB4) results in inflammatory damage to the kidney. Moreover, the LTB4-leukotriene B4 receptor 1 (BLT1) axis participates in the acute kidney injury via mediating the recruitment of renal neutrophils. In addition, AA can regulate renal ion transport through 19-hydroxystilbenetetraenoic acid (19-HETE) and 20-HETE, both of which are produced by cytochrome P450 monooxygenase. Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) generated by the CYP450 enzyme also plays a paramount role in the kidney damage during the inflammation process. For example, 14 and 15-EET mitigated ischemia/reperfusion-caused renal tubular epithelial cell damage. Many drug candidates that target the AA metabolism pathways are being developed to treat kidney inflammation. These observations support an extraordinary interest in a wide range of studies on drug interventions aiming to control AA metabolism and kidney inflammation.

Abstract
Background Plasma concentration of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) has been reported to be associated with renal function in Western populations. However, few studies have investigated the association between serum long-chain n-3 and n-6 PUFA profiles and renal function in a Japanese population with high marine-derived long-chain n-3 PUFA intake. Methods A cross-sectional study was performed in 549 Japanese rural community-dwellers aged 40 to 64 years. In adjusted analysis of covariance, we assessed the relationship between estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and tertiles of serum long-chain n-3 and n-6 PUFA profiles ([eicosapentaenoic acid {EPA} + docosahexaenoic acid {DHA}]:arachidonic acid [AA]). GFR was estimated by Japanese specific equations using serum creatinine and cystatin C (eGFRcre and eGFRcys). Using multivariate-adjusted linear regression models, we also assessed the relationships between eGFRs and several n-3 and n-6 PUFAs, which have been suggested to be associated with renal function. Results In all participants, higher dietary fish intake as assessed by a semi-quantitative questionnaire was associated with higher serum value of (EPA+DHA):AA. Participants in the higher (EPA+DHA):AA tertiles had non-significantly higher eGFRcre and significantly higher eGFRcys (P = 0.016). In addition, eGFRcys in T2+T3 of (EPA+DHA):AA was significantly higher than that in T1 (adjusted mean eGFRcys, T1: 87 ml/min/1.73 m2, T2+T3: 91 ml/min/1.73 m2; P < 0.01). Among the PUFAs, only (EPA+DHA) was significantly associated with eGFRcys. Conclusions Serum (EPA+DHA):AA, which reflects an individual’s fish intake, might be associated with eGFRcys in Japanese community-dwellers.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major public health problem and can result in end-stage renal disease with need for dialysis or transplantation. In Europe up to 12% of the adult population had some renal impairment, while in the United States the end stage of CKD has increased dramatically from 209.000 in 1991 to 472.000 in 2004. Diabetes and hypertension are major causes of kidney pathology. Infection, particularly ascending infection, is more common with increasing age, as both immune function declines and associated pathology predisposing to infection, such as obstructive uropathy, becomes more common. Most pathological changes in the kidney appear to be initiated by oxidative stress, followed by an inflammatory reaction. Oxidative stress results from an imbalance between free radicals and their detoxification by endogenous and exogenous scavengers, including polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). Recent studies showed that PUFA supplementation slowed the rate of loss of renal function in patients with IgA nephropathy. Then, studies of omega-3 supplementation in dialysis patients describe salutary effects on triglyceride levels and dialysis access patency. We examined the relationship between total plasma PUFA levels and change in creatinine clearance over a three-year follow-up in the older persons enrolled in the InCHIANTI study, a population-based epidemiology study conducted in Tuscany, Italy. This study showed that older adults with low total plasma PUFA levels have a greater decline in creatinine clearance over three years of follow-up. These findings suggest that a higher dietary intake of PUFA may be protective against progression to chronic kidney disease.

Abstract
The present study analyzes several markers of energy metabolism in the heart muscle of dyslipemic insulin-resistant rats fed a sucrose-rich diet (SRD, 62.5% wt/wt) for 8 months. It also explores the possible beneficial effects of dietary fish oil supplementation on cardiac lipids and glucose metabolism. With this purpose, male Wistar rats were fed an SRD for 6 months. Whereas half of the animals continued with the same diet for up to 8 months, the other half was fed an SRD in which fish oil (7% + 1% corn oil wt/wt) replaced corn oil (8% wt/wt) from months 6 to 8. The results were compared with rats fed a control diet (starch 62.5% wt/wt). The cardiac muscle of SRD-fed rats showed (1) a significant reduction (P < .05) in key enzymes activities and metabolites involved in glucose metabolism, accompanied by a significant (P < .05) increase of lipid storage (triglyceride, long-chain acyl coenzyme A, and diacylglycerol), and (2) a significant increase (P < .05) of nPKCepsilon protein mass expression in the membrane fraction without changes in the cPKCbetaII. Dietary fish oil, which reduces the availability of plasma lipid flux and normalizes glucose homeostasis, was able to reverse heart muscle lipotoxicity. Fish oil benefits key enzymes activities in glucose metabolism and normalizes glycogen and glucose-6-phosphate concentration, and the altered nPKCepsilon protein mass expression translocation in the heart of SRD-fed rats. Our findings suggest that manipulation of dietary fats may play a key role in the management of lipid disorders, offering a protection against the development of cardiovascular diseases.

Mice deficient in mitochondrial glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase-1 have diminished myocardial triacylglycerol accumulation during lipogenic diet and altered phospholipid fatty acid composition. BIOCHIMICA ET BIOPHYSICA ACTA 2008; 1781:352-8. [PMID: 18522808 PMCID: PMC3285559 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbalip.2008.05.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 45] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/27/2007] [Revised: 04/17/2008] [Accepted: 05/05/2008] [Indexed: 10/22/2022]
Abstract
Glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase-1 (GPAT1), which is located on the outer mitochondrial membrane comprises up to 30% of total GPAT activity in the heart. It is one of at least four mammalian GPAT isoforms known to catalyze the initial, committed, and rate-limiting step of glycerolipid synthesis. Because excess triacylglycerol (TAG) accumulates in cardiomyocytes in obesity and type 2 diabetes, we determined whether lack of GPAT1 would alter the synthesis of heart TAG and phospholipids after a 2-week high-sucrose diet or a 3-month high-fat diet. Even in the absence of hypertriglyceridemia, TAG increased 2-fold with both diets in hearts from wildtype mice. In contrast, hearts from Gpat1(-/-) mice contained 20-80% less TAG than the wildtype controls. In addition, hearts from Gpat1(-/-) mice fed the high-sucrose diet incorporate 60% less [(14)C]palmitate into heart TAG as compared to wildtype mice. Because GPAT1 prefers 16:0-CoA to other long-chain acyl-CoA substrates, we determined the fatty acid composition of heart phospholipids. Compared to wildtype littermate controls, hearts from Gpat1(-/-)(-/-) mice contained a lower amount of 16:0 in phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, and phosphatidylserine/phosphatidylinositol and significantly more C20:4n6. Phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine from Gpat1(-/-)(-/-) hearts also contained higher amounts of 18:0 and 18:1. Although at least three other GPAT isoforms are expressed in the heart, our data suggest that GPAT1 contributes significantly to cardiomyocyte TAG synthesis during lipogenic or high-fat diets and influences the incorporation of 20:4n6 into heart phospholipids.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent studies suggest an association between polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and the development of chronic kidney disease. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between PUFAs and renal function in older adults. METHODS We performed a cross-sectional and prospective analysis of 931 adults, > or = 65 years old, enrolled in the InCHIANTI study, a population-based cohort in Tuscany, Italy. Plasma PUFAs were measured at enrollment, and creatinine clearance was estimated by the Cockcroft-Gault equation at baseline and after 3-year follow-up. RESULTS At enrollment, participants with higher creatinine clearance had higher concentrations of HDL cholesterol, total plasma PUFAs, plasma n-3 fatty acid (FA), and plasma n-6 FA and lower triglycerides. From enrollment to the 3-year follow-up visit, creatinine clearance declined by 7.8 (12.2) mL/min (P <0.0001). Baseline total plasma PUFAs, n-3 FA, n-6 FA, and linoleic, linolenic, and arachidonic acids were strong independent predictors of less steep decline in creatinine clearance from baseline to follow-up (P <0.0001, after adjusting for baseline creatinine clearance). After adjusting for baseline creatinine, baseline total plasma PUFAs, n-3 FA, and linoleic, linolenic, and arachidonic acids were negatively associated with creatinine at 3-year follow-up. Participants with higher plasma PUFAs at enrollment had a lower risk of developing renal insufficiency, defined by a creatinine clearance <60 mL/min, during 3-year follow-up. CONCLUSION High PUFA concentrations, both n-3 FA and n-6 FA, may attenuate the age-associated decline in renal function among older community-dwelling women and men.

Abstract
Although dietary fat has been associated with inflammation and cardiovascular diseases (CVD), most studies have focused on individuals with preexisting diseases. However, the role of dietary fatty acids on inflammatory pathways before the onset of any abnormality may be more relevant for identifying initiating factors and interventions for CVD prevention. We fed young male pigs one of three diets differing in n-6 and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) linoleic acid (LA, 18:2n-6) and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA, 18:3n-3) for 30 days. Cardiac membrane phospholipid fatty acids, phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) isoform activities, and cyclooxygenase (COX)-1 and -2 and 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) expression were measured. The low PUFA diet (% energy, 1.2% LA+0.06% ALA) increased arachidonic acid (AA) and decreased eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) in heart membranes and increased Ca(2+)-independent iPLA(2) activity, COX-2 expression, and activation of 5-LO. Increasing dietary ALA while keeping LA constant (1.4% LA+1.2% ALA) decreased the heart membrane AA, increased EPA, and prevented proinflammatory enzyme activation. However, regardless of high ALA, high dietary LA (11.6% LA and 1.2% ALA) decreased EPA and led to a high heart membrane AA, and Ca(2+)-dependent cPLA(2) with a marked increase in nitrosative stress. Our results suggest that the potential cardiovascular benefit of ALA is achieved only when dietary LA is reduced concomitantly rather than fed with high LA diet. The increased nitrosative stress in the unstressed heart with high dietary LA suggests that biomarkers of nitrosative stress may offer a useful early marker of the effects of dietary fat on oxidative tissue stress.

Abstract
The biochemical properties and specificity of n-3 and n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are not well known. Because PUFAs induce apoptosis of different cells, we studied the effect of various PUFAs, such as arachidonic acid (AA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosapentaenoic acid (DPA), on the fate of cultured human promyelocytic leukemia cells (HL-60) to elucidate the mechanism of apoptosis and the difference in action between n-3 and n-6 PUFAs. Fairly low concentrations of PUFAs inhibited the growth of HL-60 cells and induced their apoptosis by a mechanism that is sensitive to DMSO, an antioxidant, and z-Val-Ala-Asp(OMe)-fluoromethylketone (z-VAD-fmk), a pan-caspase inhibitor. PUFAs stimulated the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and activated various types of caspase-like proteases, such as caspase-3, -6, -8, and -9, but not caspase-1. In addition, PUFAs triggered the reaction leading to the cleavage of Bid, a death agonist member of the Bcl-2 family, and also released cytochrome c from mitochondria into the cytosol. PUFAs also decreased the mitochondrial membrane potential of intact HL-60 cells. All of these actions of n-3 PUFAs were stronger than those of AA, an n-6 PUFA, although the mechanism is not known. PUFAs stimulate swelling and membrane depolarization of isolated mitochondria in a cyclosporin A-sensitive manner. The results indicated that PUFA-induced apoptosis of HL-60 cells may be caused, in part, by direct action on the cells and by activation of the caspase cascade through cytochrome c release coupled with mitochondrial membrane depolarization.

Abstract
The role of phospholipids in apoptosis signaling and the relationship between oxidation of phosphatidylserine and its redistribution in the plasma membrane were studied. A novel method for detection of site-specific phospholipid peroxidation based on the use of cis-parinaric acid as a reporter molecule metabolically integrated into membrane phospholipids in living cells was employed. When several tissue culture cell lines and different exogenous oxidants were used, the relationship between the oxidation of phosphatidylserine and apoptosis has been revealed. The plasma membrane was the preferred site of phosphatidylserine oxidation in cells. It was shown that selective oxidation of phosphatidylserine precedes its translocation from the inside to the outside surface of the plasma membrane during apoptosis. A model is proposed in which cytochrome c released from mitochondria by oxidative stress binds to phosphatidylserine located at the cytoplasmic surface of the plasma membrane and induces its oxidation. Interaction of peroxidized phosphatidylserine with aminophospholipid translocase causes inhibition of the enzyme relevant to phosphatidylserine externalization.

Abstract
Effects of experimental hyperlipidemia on apoptosis and proliferation of thymocytes in response to mitogens were studied in CBA and C57Bl/6 mice. The concentrations of cholesterol in the serum and thymocyte membranes increased in both mouse strains. Spontaneous and dexamethasone-induced apoptosis in vitro and the proliferative response to phytohemagglutinin and concanavalin A were enhanced in thymocytes from C57Bl/6 mice and suppressed in cells from CBA mice. These data suggest opposite reactions of thymocyte to increased serum cholesterol concentration in these two strains, associated with stimulation and suppression of cell activity.

Abstract
Several studies over the past 20 years have demonstrated that subjects on diets composed of substances with high levels of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) (e.g. fish) have a decreased incidence of heart disease. On this basis, a recent report from the Department of Health has advised UK consumers to decrease the proportion of saturated as opposed to unsaturated fats in their diet and to increase the ratio of n-3 to n-6 PUFAs. This could be achieved by altering the amounts of these constituents in milk and meat. n-3 Fatty acids can most easily be added to animal feed as either fish oil or linseed oil and can be increased in the blood and milk of ruminants following protection to avoid hydrogenation in the rumen. In western countries the ratio of consumption of n-6 to n-3 PUFAs is greater than 10 and current evidence tends to suggest that a ratio nearer 5 would be more desirable and compatible with cardiovascular well being. As fertility in the UK dairy herd is already poor, it is important to establish whether alterations in dietary n-3 and n-6 PUFAs affects herd fertility before widespread changes in animal diets are recommended. Therefore, this review considers the role played by PUFAs and eicosanoids in fertility, with particular reference to the implications for farm livestock production. The evidence reviewed shows that alteration of the concentration and ratio of n-6 and n-3 PUFAs in feeds can influence prostaglandin synthesis/metabolism in a number of mammalian systems. The changed patterns of prostaglandin synthesis can as a consequence, affect the diverse functions (e.g. hormone secretion) that are normally mediated via prostaglandins. Similarly, changes in prostaglandin synthesis effected through manipulation of PUFAs has a major bearing on fertility (as PGs affect many reproductive parameters, e.g. ovulation). Several studies in cattle and other mammals, show that feeding or infusing different types of fat with varying PUFA content to females can alter: the number and size of ovarian follicles, the ovulation rate, progesterone production by the corpus luteum, the timing of luteolysis and gestational length. In the male most recent work has focussed on sperm production and experiments in fowl have demonstrated clear effects of dietary PUFAs on both the sperm membrane phospholipid composition and on fertilizing ability.

Abstract
A ratio-fluorescence assay was developed for on-line localization and quantification of lipid oxidation in living cells. The assay explores the oxidative sensitivity of C11-BODIPY(581/591). Upon oxidation, the fluorescence of this fluorophore shifts from red to green. The probe incorporates readily into cellular membranes and is about twice as sensitive to oxidation as arachidonic acid. Using confocal microscopy, the cumene hydroperoxide-induced oxidation of C11-BODIPY(581/591) was visualized at the sub-cellular level in rat-1 fibroblasts. Preloading of the cells with tocopherol retarded this oxidation. The data demonstrate that C11-BODIPY(581/591) is a valuable tool to quantify lipid oxidation and anti-oxidant efficacy in single cells.

Abstract
The signaling pathway mediating the contractile effect of beta2-adrenergic receptors (beta2-AR) in the heart is still matter of debate. By using embryonic chick ventricular cardiomyocytes that express both functional beta1-and beta2-ARs, we show here that the specific beta2-AR agonist, zinterol, increases the amplitude of Ca2+ transients and cell contraction of electrically stimulated cells. Zinterol, up to 10 microM, did not stimulate adenylyl cyclase activity, and its effect on Ca2+ transients was unmodified by the specific cAMP antagonist, (Rp)-cAMPS. In contrast, zinterol (10-100 nM) triggered arachidonic acid (AA) release from [3H]AA-loaded cells via the activation of the cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2). Stimulation of the Ca2+ transients by zinterol was abolished by the cPLA2 inhibitor, AACOCF3, and was mimicked by AA (0.3-3 microM). Both stimulations of [3H]AA release and of [Ca2+]i cycling by zinterol were abolished after treatment of the cardiomyocytes with pertussis toxin. Although cell responses to beta2-AR stimulation were mediated by AA, they were under cAMP control as follows: (i) the beta1-AR stimulation exerted a cAMP-mediated negative constraint on the beta2-AR/cPLA2 pathway; (ii) cAMP potentiated AA action downstream beta-AR stimulation. We conclude that, in cardiomyocytes, beta2-AR is coupled to cPLA2 activation via a pertussis toxin-sensitive G protein. These results demonstrate the involvement of the cPLA2/AA pathway in mediating positive inotropic effects, which could potentially compensate for a defective cAMP pathway.

Abstract
Human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNL) were exposed to erucic acid or erucic acid anilide to explore their effects on the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the levels of free intracellular calcium. The compounds did not change the levels of intracellular calcium, but both dose-dependently induced respiratory burst in PMNL. Maximal production of ROS by erucic acid exceeded that induced by its anilide 13-fold. A protein kinase C inhibitor, Ro 31-8220, completely inhibited erucic acid and erucic acid anilide-induced production of ROS. Neither erucic acid nor erucic acid anilide modified FMLP-induced production of ROS. However, erucic acid (500 microM) amplified 5 nM PMA-induced ROS production 1.8-fold, but did not have this effect at a lower PMA concentration. On the contrary, erucic acid anilide inhibited PMA-induced oxidative burst, and shifted the peak ROS production induced by PMA to a later time-point. The present results show that aniline moiety modifies the effects of erucic acid on the activation of PMNL, and suggest that both erucic acid and erucic acid anilide may activate PMNL through a protein kinase C-dependent mechanism.
