Abstract
Heart failure (HF) is preceded by cellular hypertrophy (CeH) which alters expression of cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYPs) and arachidonic acid (AA) metabolism. Inflammation is involved in CeH pathophysiology, but mechanisms remain elusive. This study investigates the impacts of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and lipopolysaccharides (LPS) on the development of CeH and the role of CYP1B1. AC16 cells were treated with TNF-α, IL-6, and LPS in the presence and absence of CYP1B1-siRNA or resveratrol. mRNA and protein expression levels of CYP1B1 and hypertrophic markers were determined using PCR and Western blot analysis, respectively. CYP1B1 enzyme activity was determined, and AA metabolites were analyzed using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Our results show that TNF-α, IL-6, and LPS induce expression of hypertrophic markers, induce CYP1B1 expression, and enantioselectively modulate CYP1B1-mediated AA metabolism in favor of mid-chain HETEs. CYP1B1-siRNA or resveratrol ameliorated these effects. In conclusion, our results demonstrate the crucial role of CYP1B1 in TNF-α, IL-6, and LPS-induced CeH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Arachidonic acid (AA), one of the most ubiquitous polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), provides fluidity to mammalian cell membranes. It is derived from linoleic acid (LA) and can be transformed into various bioactive metabolites, including prostaglandins (PGs), thromboxanes (TXs), lipoxins (LXs), hydroxy-eicosatetraenoic acids (HETEs), leukotrienes (LTs), and epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), by different pathways. All these processes are involved in AA metabolism. Currently, in the context of an increasingly visible aging world population, several scholars have revealed the essential role of AA metabolism in osteoporosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and many other aging diseases. AIM OF REVIEW Although there are some reviews describing the role of AA in some specific diseases, there seems to be no or little information on the role of AA metabolism in aging tissues or organs. This review scrutinizes and highlights the role of AA metabolism in aging and provides a new idea for strategies for treating aging-related diseases. KEY SCIENTIFIC CONCEPTS OF REVIEW As a member of lipid metabolism, AA metabolism regulates the important lipids that interfere with the aging in several ways. We present a comprehensivereviewofthe role ofAA metabolism in aging, with the aim of relieving the extreme suffering of families and the heavy economic burden on society caused by age-related diseases. We also collected and summarized data on anti-aging therapies associated with AA metabolism, with the expectation of identifying a novel and efficient way to protect against aging.

Abstract
The phenomenon of chirality has been shown to greatly impact drug activities and effects. Different enantiomers may exhibit different effects in a certain biological condition or disease state. Cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes metabolize arachidonic acid (AA) into a large variety of metabolites with a wide range of activities. Hydroxylation of AA by CYP hydroxylases produces hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (HETEs), which are classified into mid-chain (5, 8, 9, 11, 12, and 15-HETE), subterminal (16-, 17-, 18- and 19-HETE) and terminal (20-HETE) HETEs. Except for 20-HETE, these metabolites exist as a racemic mixture of R and S enantiomers in the physiological system. The two enantiomers could have different degrees of activity or sometimes opposing effects. In this review article, we aimed to discuss the role of mid-chain and subterminal HETEs in different organs, importantly the heart and the kidneys. Moreover, we summarized their effects in some conditions such as neutrophil migration, inflammation, angiogenesis, and tumorigenesis, with a focus on the reported enantiospecific effects. We also reported some studies using genetically modified models to investigate the roles of HETEs in different conditions.

Abstract
The incidence of heart failure (HF) is generally preceded by cardiac hypertrophy (CH), which is the enlargement of cardiac myocytes in response to stress. During CH, the metabolism of arachidonic acid (AA), which is present in the cell membrane phospholipids, is modulated. Metabolism of AA gives rise to hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (HETEs) and epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) via cytochrome P450 (CYP) ω-hydroxylases and CYP epoxygenases, respectively. A plethora of studies demonstrated the involvement of CYP-mediated AA metabolites in the pathogenesis of CH. Also, inflammation is known to be a characteristic hallmark of CH. In this review, our aim is to highlight the impact of inflammation on CYP-derived AA metabolites and CH. Inflammation is shown to modulate the expression of various CYP ω-hydroxylases and CYP epoxygenases and their respective metabolites in the heart. In general, HETEs such as 20-HETE and mid-chain HETEs are pro-inflammatory, while EETs are characterized by their anti-inflammatory and cardioprotective properties. Several mechanisms are implicated in inflammation-induced CH, including the modulation of NF-κB and MAPK. This review demonstrated the inflammatory modulation of cardiac CYPs and their metabolites in the context of CH and the anti-inflammatory strategies that can be employed in the treatment of CH and HF.

Abstract
Numerous experimental studies have supported the evidence that 2-methoxyestradiol (2 ME) is a biologically active metabolite that mediates multiple effects on the cardiovascular system, largely independent of the estrogen receptor. 2 ME is a major cytochrome P450 1B1 (CYP1B1) metabolite and has been reported to have vasoprotective and anti-inflammatory actions. However, whether 2 ME would prevent cardiac hypertrophy induced by abdominal aortic constriction (AAC) has not been investigated yet. Therefore, the overall objectives of the present study were to elucidate the potential antihypertrophic effect of 2 ME and explore the mechanism(s) involved. Our results showed that 2 ME significantly inhibited AAC-induced left ventricular hypertrophy using echocardiography. The antihypertrophic effect of 2 ME was associated with a significant inhibition of CYP1B1 and mid-chain hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids. Based on proteomics data, the protective effect of 2 ME is linked to the induction of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory proteins in addition to the modulation of proteins involved in myocardial energy metabolism. In vitro, 2 ME has shown a direct antihypertrophic effect through mitogen-activated protein kinases- and nuclear factor-κB-dependent mechanisms. The present work shows a strong evidence that 2 ME protects against left ventricular hypertrophy. Our data suggest the potential of repurposing 2 ME as a selective CYP1B1 inhibitor for the treatment of heart failure.

Abstract
The incidence, prevalence, and hospitalization rates associated with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are projected to increase substantially in the world. Understanding of the biological and pathophysiological mechanisms of survival can help the researchers to develop new management modalities. Numerous experimental studies have demonstrated that mid-chain HETEs are strongly involved in the pathogenesis of the CVDs. Mid-chain HETEs are biologically active eicosanoids that result from the metabolism of arachidonic acid (AA) by both lipoxygenase and CYP1B1 (lipoxygenase-like reaction). Therefore, identifying the localizations and expressions of the lipoxygenase and CYP1B1 and their associated AA metabolites in the cardiovascular system is of major importance in understanding their pathological roles. Generally, the expression of these enzymes is shown to be induced during several CVDs, including hypertension and cardiac hypertrophy. The induction of these enzymes is associated with the generation of mid-chain HETEs and subsequently causation of cardiovascular events. Of interest, inhibiting the formation of mid-chain HETEs has been reported to confer a protection against different cardiac hypertrophy and hypertension models such as angiotensin II, Goldblatt, spontaneously hypertensive rat and deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)-salt-induced models. Although the exact mechanisms of mid-chain HETEs-mediated cardiovascular dysfunction are not fully understood, the present review proposes several mechanisms which include activating G-protein-coupled receptor, protein kinase C, mitogen-activated protein kinases, and nuclear factor kappa B. This review provides a clear understanding of the role of mid-chain HETEs in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases and their importance as novel targets in the treatment for hypertension and cardiac hypertrophy.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are emerging as centre-stage players in cardiac functional regulation. ROS and Ca(2+) signals converge at dyads, the structural and functional units of cardiac excitation-contraction coupling. These two prominent signalling systems are intertwined with ROS modulation of the entire Ca(2+)-signalling network, and vice versa. While constitutively generated homoeostatic ROS are important in setting the redox potential of the intracellular milieu, dynamic signalling ROS shape microdomain and global Ca(2+) signals on both the beat-to-beat and greater time scales. However, ROS effects are complex and subtle, characterized by multiphasic and bidirectional Ca(2+) responses; and sustained oxidative stress may lead to compromised contractility and arrhythmogenicity. These new understandings should be leveraged to harness ROS for their beneficial roles while avoiding deleterious effects in the heart.

Abstract
Calcium-independent phospholipase A(2)γ (iPLA(2)γ) (PNPLA8) is the predominant phospholipase activity in mammalian mitochondria. However, the chemical mechanisms that regulate its activity are unknown. Here, we utilize iPLA(2)γ gain of function and loss of function genetic models to demonstrate the robust activation of iPLA(2)γ in murine myocardial mitochondria by Ca(2+) or Mg(2+) ions. Calcium ion stimulated the production of 2-arachidonoyl-lysophosphatidylcholine (2-AA-LPC) from 1-palmitoyl-2-[(14)C]arachidonoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine during incubations with wild-type heart mitochondrial homogenates. Furthermore, incubation of mitochondrial homogenates from transgenic myocardium expressing iPLA(2)γ resulted in 13- and 25-fold increases in the initial rate of radiolabeled 2-AA-LPC and arachidonic acid (AA) production, respectively, in the presence of calcium ion. Mass spectrometric analysis of the products of calcium-activated hydrolysis of endogenous mitochondrial phospholipids in transgenic iPLA(2)γ mitochondria revealed the robust production of AA, 2-AA-LPC, and 2-docosahexaenoyl-LPC that was over 10-fold greater than wild-type mitochondria. The mechanism-based inhibitor (R)-(E)-6-(bromomethylene)-3-(1-naphthalenyl)-2H-tetrahydropyran-2-one (BEL) (iPLA(2)γ selective), but not its enantiomer, (S)-BEL (iPLA(2)β selective) or pyrrolidine (cytosolic PLA(2)α selective), markedly attenuated Ca(2+)-dependent fatty acid release and polyunsaturated LPC production. Moreover, Ca(2+)-induced iPLA(2)γ activation was accompanied by the production of downstream eicosanoid metabolites that were nearly completely ablated by (R)-BEL or by genetic ablation of iPLA(2)γ. Intriguingly, Ca(2+)-induced iPLA(2)γ activation was completely inhibited by long-chain acyl-CoA (IC(50) ∼20 μm) as well as by a nonhydrolyzable acyl-CoA thioether analog. Collectively, these results demonstrate that mitochondrial iPLA(2)γ is activated by divalent cations and inhibited by acyl-CoA modulating the generation of biologically active metabolites that regulate mitochondrial bioenergetic and signaling functions.

Abstract
Arachidonate-containing oxidized phospholipids are acutely generated by 12-LOX (12-lipoxygenase) in agonist-activated platelets. In the present study, formation of structurally related lipids by oxidation of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid)-containing phospholipids is demonstrated using lipidomic approaches. Precursor scanning reverse-phase LC (liquid chromatography)-MS/MS (tandem MS) identified a new family of lipids that comprise phospholipid-esterified HDOHE (hydroxydocosahexaenoic acid). Two diacyl and two plasmalogen PEs (phosphatidylethanolamines) containing predominantly the 14-HDOHE positional isomer (18:0p/14-HDOHE-PE, 18:0a/14-HDOHE-PE, 16:0a/14-HDOHE-PE and 16:0p/14-HDOHE-PE) were structurally characterized using MS/MS and by comparison with biogenic standards. An involvement of 12-LOX was indicated as purified recombinant human 12-LOX also generated the 14-HDOHE isomer from DHA. Pharmacological studies using inhibitors and recombinant platelet 12-LOX indicate that they form via esterification of newly formed non-esterified HDOHE. HDOHE-PEs formed at significant rates (2-4 ng/4×10(7) cells) within 2-180 min of thrombin stimulation, and their formation was blocked by calcium chelation. In summary, a new family of oxidized phospholipid was identified in thrombin-activated human platelets.

Abstract
Myocardial phospholipids serve as primary reservoirs of arachidonic acid (AA), which is liberated through the rate-determining hydrolytic action of cardiac phospholipases A2 (PLA2s). A predominant PLA2 in myocardium is calcium-independent phospholipase A2beta (iPLA2beta), which, through its calmodulin (CaM) and ATP-binding domains, is regulated by alterations in local cellular Ca2+ concentrations and cardiac bioenergetic status, respectively. Importantly, iPLA2beta has been demonstrated to be activated by ischaemia through elevation of the concentration of myocardial fatty acyl-CoA, which abrogates Ca2+/CaM-mediated inhibition of iPLA2beta. AA released by PLA2-catalysed hydrolysis of phospholipids serves as a precursor for eicosanoids generated by pathways dependent on cyclooxygenases (COX), lipoxygenases (LOX), and cytochromes P450 (CYP). Eicosanoids initiate and propagate diverse signalling cascades, primarily through their interaction with cellular receptors and ion channels. However, during pathologic states such as ischaemia or congestive heart failure, eicosanoids contribute to multiple maladaptive changes including inflammation, alterations of cellular growth programmes, and activation of multiple transcriptional events leading to the deleterious sequelae of these pathologic states. This review summarizes the central roles of myocardial PLA(2)s in eicosanoid signalling in the heart, the major COX, LOX, and CYP pathways of eicosanoid generation in the myocardium, and the effects of important eicosanoids on receptor-, ion channel-, and transcription-mediated processes that facilitate cardiac hypertrophy, mediate ischaemic preconditioning, and precipitate arrhythmogenesis in response to pathologic stimuli.

Abstract
12/15-Lipoxygenase (LOX) mediates immune-regulatory activities not accounted for by its known free acid eicosanoids, suggesting that additional lipids may be generated by activated cells. To characterize novel LOX-derived lipids, a lipidomic approach was utilized. Ionophore-activated interleukin-4-treated human peripheral monocytes generated up to 10-fold more esterified 15-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (15-HETE) than free in a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase- and protein kinase C-sensitive manner. Precursor scanning electrospray ionization/tandem spectroscopy for m/z 319 (HETE, [M-H](-)) showed 4 ions at m/z 738, 764, 766, and 782 that were identified using tandem spectroscopy and MS3 as specific diacyl and plasmalogen 15-HETE phosphatidylethanolamines. Using H (18)(2)O water, the compounds were shown to form by direct oxidation of endogenous phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) by 15-LOX, with PE being the preferred phospholipid pool containing 15-HETE. Similarly, human platelets generated 4 analogous PE lipids that contained 12-HETE and increased significantly in response to ionophore, collagen, or convulxin. These products were retained in the cells, in contrast to free acids, which are primarily secreted. Precursor scanning of platelet extracts for the major platelet-derived prostanoid, thromboxane B2 (m/z 369.2), did not reveal PE esters, indicating that this modification is restricted to the LOX pathway. In summary, we show formation of PE-esterified HETEs in immune cells that may contribute to LOX signaling in inflammation.

Abstract
A supersensitivity of the beta-adrenoceptor-mediated chronotropic response has been demonstrated in atria isolated from rats subjected to septic shock. Our study was undertaken to investigate whether bacterial endotoxin/LPS affects the increase in heart rate induced by beta-adrenoceptor agonists in the rat also in vivo. In pithed and vagotomized rats, the nonselective beta-adrenoceptor agonist isoprenaline (0.05-0.15 nmol/kg) and agonists at the high- and low-affinity state of beta1-adrenoceptors, that is, prenalterol (0.3-3 nmol/kg) and (+/-)-4-[3-[(1,1-dimethylethyl)amino]-2-hydroxypropoxy]-1,3-dihydro-2H-benzimidazole-2-one (CGP 12177; 3-6 nmol/kg), respectively, and at beta2-adrenoceptors, that is, fenoterol (1-5 nmol/kg), increased heart rate by 50 to 60 beats/min. Administration of LPS (0.4, 1, and 1.5 mg/kg), under continuous infusion of vasopressin, dose-dependently amplified the chronotropic response to isoprenaline, prenalterol, and fenoterol (by 80%, 50%, and 100%, respectively) but not to CGP 12177. The beta2-adrenoceptor antagonist erythro-(+/-)-1-(7-methylindan-4-yloxy)-3-isopropylaminobutan-2-ol (ICI 118551 0.1 mumol/kg) did not affect the chronotropic responses of isoprenaline, fenoterol, and prenalterol under non-endotoxic conditions, but abolished the potentiation of tachycardia produced by LPS (1.5 mg/kg). The beta1-adrenoceptor antagonist (+/-)-2-hydroxy-5-[2-[[2-hydroxy-3-[4-[1-methyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl]-phenoxy]propyl]-amino]ethoxy]-benzamide CGP 20712A; 0.1 mumol/kg almost completely reduced the chronotropic effects of isoprenaline, fenoterol, and prenalterol both in control rats and in animals exposed to LPS (1.5 mg/kg). We conclude that LPS sensitizes cardiac beta-adrenoceptors by recruiting functionally active beta2-adrenoceptors, but the amplification of tachycardia occurs only when both beta1- and beta2-adrenoceptors are concomitantly activated. The pithed rat may serve as a model to examine the beta-adrenoceptor supersensitivity in vivo.

Abstract
Natriuretic peptides (NP) mediate their effects by activating membrane-bound guanylyl cyclase-coupled receptors A (NPR-A) or B (NPR-B). Whereas the pathophysiological role of NPR-A has been widely studied, only limited knowledge on the cardiovascular function of NPR-B is available. In vitro studies suggest antiproliferative and antihypertrophic actions of the NPR-B ligand C-type NP (CNP). Because of the lack of a specific pharmacological inhibitor, these effects could not clearly be attributed to impaired NPR-B signaling. Recently, gene deletion revealed a predominant role of NPR-B in endochondral ossification and development of female reproductive organs. However, morphological abnormalities and premature death of NPR-B-deficient mice preclude detailed cardiovascular phenotyping. In the present study, a dominant-negative mutant (NPR-BDeltaKC) was used to characterize CNP-dependent NPR-B signaling in vitro and in transgenic rats. Here we demonstrate that reduced CNP- but not atrial NP-dependent cGMP response attenuates antihypertrophic potency of CNP in vitro. In transgenic rats, NPR-BDeltaKC expression selectively reduced NPR-B but not NPR-A signaling. NPR-BDeltaKC transgenic rats display progressive, blood pressure-independent cardiac hypertrophy and elevated heart rate. The hypertrophic phenotype is further enhanced in chronic volume overload-induced congestive heart failure. Thus, this study provides evidence linking NPR-B signaling to the control of cardiac growth.

Abstract
In previous studies we observed that normal human epidermis forms 12-oxo-eicosatetraenoic acid (12-oxo-ETE) and hepoxilin B3 (HxB3) as major eicosanoids, both being elevated in psoriasis. We also observed that normal epidermis, in a reaction probably catalyzed by 12-lipoxygenase, only synthesize one of the two possible 10-hydroxy epimers of HxB3. We have now extended these previous studies investigating further transformation of HxB3 into trioxilin B3 (TrXB3) and esterification of both into phospholipids. Phospholipids were extracted from normal epidermis and from psoriatic scales. A combination of high performance liquid chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis demonstrated the occurrence of HxB3 and TrXB3 in the phospholipids of psoriatic lesions. Alkaline- and phospholipase-A2-mediated hydrolysis of the phospholipids yielded similar quantities of both HxB3 and TrXB3 indicating their preference for the sn-2 position of glycerophospholipids. The thin layer chromatography analysis of the phospholipid classes after incubation of epidermal cells with [14C]-labeled HxB3, TrXB3, 12-hydroxy-eicosatetraenoic acid (12-HETE), 12-oxo-ETE, or 15-HETE showed that 12-HETE was the most esterified (12-HETE >15-HETE > TrXB3 > 12-oxo-ETE > HxB3). HxB3 and TrXB3 were mainly esterified in phosphatidyl-choline and phosphatidyl-ethanolamine. HxB3 was also enzymatically converted into TrXB3 in vitro. HxB3 epoxide hydrolase-like activity was not observed when boiled tissue was incubated with [14C]-HxB3, this activity being located in the cytosol fraction (100,000 x g supernatant) of fresh tissue. These findings suggest that in vivo some part of HxB3 is transformed into TrXB3 and both compounds are partially incorporated into the phospholipids.

Abstract
PURPOSE The eicosanoid, 15-(S)-hydroxyeicosa-5Z, 8Z-11Z, 13E-tetraenoic acid (15-(S)-HETE), is known to stimulate production of mucin glycoprotein by airway epithelium. This study investigated the effect of 15-(S)-HETE on the mucin glycoprotein secretion by the corneal epithelium. METHODS To determine the effect of dose, corneas of anesthetized New Zealand White rabbits were treated with 50, 500, or 5,000 nM 15-(S)-HETE in artificial tears for 120 minutes. To determine the time to onset of the response, corneas were treated with 500 or 1,000 nM 15-(S)-HETE in balanced salt solution for periods ranging from 5 to 120 minutes. Corneas were fixed for electron microscopy in fixative containing 0.5% cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) to stabilize the layer of mucin-like glycoprotein on the corneal surface. The mucin layer thickness was measured by image analysis of electron micrographs. RESULTS The layer of CPC-fixed mucin-like glycoprotein on the surface of control corneas was 0.46 +/- 0.04 microm thick. After treatment with 15-(S)-HETE, the thickness of the mucin layer increased to 0.64 +/- 0.1 microm at 50 or 5,000 nM HETE and as much as 1.02 +/- 0.2 microm in response to 500 nM HETE. Mucin thickness reached a statistical maximum of 0.59 +/- 0.1 microm after only 5 minutes of exposure to 500 or 1,000 nM HETE. CONCLUSIONS Exposure of the cornea to 15-(S)-HETE causes a rapid-onset increase in the thickness of a layer of mucin-like glycoprotein on the surface of the corneal epithelium. This supports previous reports that corneal epithelial cells produce mucin and suggests that treatment with topical 15-(S)-HETE may be effective in treating ocular surface mucin deficiency in dry eye syndrome.

Abstract
Lipid peroxidation of membrane phospholipids can proceed both enzymatically via the mammalian 15-lipoxygenase-1 or the NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase system and non-enzymatically. In some cells, such as reticulocytes, this process is biologically programmed, whereas in the majority of biological systems lipid peroxidation is a deleterious process that has to be repaired via a deacylation-reacylation cycle of phospholipid metabolism. Several reports in the literature pinpoint a stimulation by lipid peroxidation of the activity of secretory phospholipase A(2)s (mainly pancreatic and snake venom enzymes) which was originally interpreted as a repair function. However, recent experiments from our laboratory have demonstrated that in mixtures of lipoxygenated and native phospholipids the former are not preferably cleaved by either secretory or cytosolic phospholipase A(2)s. We propose that the platelet activating factor (PAF) acetylhydrolases of type II, which cleave preferentially peroxidised or lipoxygenated phospholipids, are competent for the phospholipid repair, irrespective of their role in PAF metabolism. A corresponding role of Ca(2+)-independent phospholipase A(2), which has been proposed to be involved in phospholipid remodelling in biomembranes, has not been addressed so far. Direct and indirect 15-lipoxygenation of phospholipids in biomembranes modulates cell signalling by several ways. The stimulation of phospholipase A(2)-mediated arachidonic acid release may constitute an alternative route of the arachidonic acid cascade. Thus, 15-lipoxygenase-mediated oxygenation of membrane phospholipids and its interaction with phospholipase A(2)s may play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of diseases, such as bronchial asthma and atherosclerosis.

Abstract
We previously demonstrated that the monoclonal antibody Mab6H8 raised against the second extracellular loop of the beta(2)-adrenoceptor (beta(2)-AR) had an agonist-like activity, mediated by the activation of L-type Ca(2+) channels by protein kinase A through the adenylyl cyclase pathway. We suggested that this Mab acts by stabilizing an active dimeric conformation of the beta(2)-AR. To substantiate this hypothesis, we prepared monomeric Fab fragments of Mab6H8. Comparison of the physicochemical parameters of antigen interaction with both the Mab and its Fab fragments were determined by surface plasmon resonance, showing a 5- to 10-fold lower affinity of the fragments compared with the bivalent antibody. We determined the biological activity of antibody and Fab fragments in two systems: spontaneous beating neonatal rat cardiomyocytes to study the chronotropic effects and isolated guinea pig cardiomyocytes to study L-type Ca(2+) channel activation. Fab fragments as such had no "agonist-like" effects in both systems but inhibited receptor activation with the beta(2)-specific agonist clenbuterol. Addition of a cross-linking rabbit anti-mouse IgG restored the agonist-like effect of the Fab fragments. These results suggest that Fab fragments induce a conformational change in the receptor, inhibiting the accessibility of the pharmacophore pocket to clenbuterol. Dimerization of this receptor conformation induces an agonist-like effect. Antireceptor antibodies can thus act both as agonist in the dimeric state and as antagonist in the monomeric state.

Abstract
12/15-Lipoxygenase is a highly regulated lipid-peroxidating enzyme whose expression and arachidonic acid metabolites are implicated in several important inflammatory conditions including airway and glomerular inflammation as well as atherosclerosis. Tissue expression of the original 12/15-lipoxygenase is well characterized in reticulocytes, eosinophils, airway epithelial cells, and monocytes/macrophages and is likely in other cell systems and tissues under specific conditions. The physiologic role of this family of enzymes is dependent on the context in which it is expressed. In general, the arachidonic acid metabolites antagonize inflammatory responses and counteract the proinflammatory effects of the 5-lipoxygenase pathway. However, certain diHETEs are associaled with pro-inflammatory effects, specifically neutrophilic and eosiniphilic chemotaxis. The direct action of these enzymes on complex lipids and cellular membranes also links them to such significant process as reticulocyte maturation, LDL oxidation in atherosclerosis and pulmonary host defenses. The availability of new specific inhibitors and murine lines that lack expression of the homologous 12-lipoxygenase will allow confirmation of many of these effects with in vivo models of inflammation.

Abstract
Reticulocyte-type 15-lipoxygenase is known to dioxygenate phospholipids without preceding action of phospholipases A2 (PLA2). Therefore we studied the reaction of the secretory PLA2s (sPLA2) from pancreas and snake venom, and of the human cytosolic PLA2 (cPLA2) with 1-palmitoyl-2-arachidonoyl phosphatidylcholine (PAPC) and their 15-lipoxygenated species (PAPC-OOH and PAPC-OH) either alone or as equimolar mixtures. These PLA2s cleaved PAPC-O(O)H with higher (sPLA2) or similar rates (cPLA2) as compared with native PAPC. In mixtures, however, PAPC proved to be the preferred, albeit not exclusive substrate for all three PLA2s. Thus, partial 15-lipoxygenation of phospholipids may also trigger liberation of arachidonic acid.

Abstract
Monoclonal antibodies were produced against a peptide corresponding to the second extracellular loop of the human beta2-adrenoceptor. One of these monoclonals, inducing an agonist-like effect in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes, was used to define the structural and physiological basis of this activity. The epitope recognized by the antibody corresponds to the sequence Trp-Tyr-Arg-Ala-Thr-His-Gln-Glu as determined by peptide scanning. Analysis by alanine modification of the peptide epitope showed the importance of the Trp, and Glu residues in antibody recognition The apparent affinity of the antibody assessed either by surface plasmon resonance or by functional titration on its agonist-like activity showed a similar value (10(8) M(-1)). The antibody recognized the receptor in its native form as shown by immunofluorescence experiments on A431 cells but not in its denatured form as shown by its absence of staining in immunoblots. The positive chronotropic effect in vitro was specifically blocked by both the antigenic peptide and the specific beta2-antagonist (+/-)-1-[2,3-(Dihydro-7-methyl1H-inden-4-yl)oxy]-3-[(1-methy lethyl)amino]-2-butanol hydrochloride (ICI1118,551). This activity was mediated through activation of Ca2+ L-type channels as assessed in guinea pig cardiomyocytes. These results suggest that the epitope is located in an extracellular alpha-helix, whose recognition by the antibody could stabilize the receptor in its 'active' conformation.

Abstract
Recent investigations concentrate on the correlation between the myocardial expression of the inducible 70-kDa heat shock protein (HSP70i) by different stress conditions and its possible protective effects. Only few studies have focused on the involvement of small heat shock proteins in this process. We analyzed the location of the small heat shock protein HSP25 in isolated cardiomyocytes as well as its location and induction in isolated perfused hearts of rats. By immunofluorescence microscopy HSP25 was found to colocalize with actin in the I-band of myofibrils in cardiomyocytes of isolated perfused hearts as well as in isolated neonatal and adult cardiomyocytes. Hyperthermic perfusion of isolated hearts for 45 min resulted in modulation of different parameters of heart function and in induction of HSP25 is constitutively expressed even in normothermic perfused (44-46 degrees C) were lethal with respect to the contractile function of the hearts. Compared to control hearts perfused at 37 degrees C, significant increases during hyperthermic perfusion at 42 degrees C and 43 degrees C were obtained for heart rate, contraction velocity and relaxation velocity. In response to hyperthermia at 43 degrees C and after subsequent normothermic perfusion for 135 min at 37 degrees C, left to control values immediately after the period of heat treatment. HSP25 is constitutively expressed even in normothermic perfused hearts as shown by Western blotting. Hyperthermia increased the content of HSP25 only in the left ventricular tissue. In contrast, HSP70i was strongly induced in all analyzed parts of the myocardium (left ventricle, right ventricle, septum). Our findings suggest a differential regulation of HSP25 and HSP70i expression in response to hyperthermia in isolated perfused hearts. The constitutively expressed HSP25 seems to be located adjacent to the myofibrils which implies a specific role of this protein even under unstressed conditions for the contractile function of the myocardium.
