Abstract
The motor features of Parkinson's disease result from loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra with autophagy dysfunction being closely linked to this disease. While a large body of work focusing on protein effectors of autophagy has been reported, regulation of autophagy by lipids has garnered far less attention. Therefore, we sought to identify endogenous lipid molecules that act as signaling mediators of autophagy in differentiated SH-SY5Y cells, a commonly used dopaminergic neuron-like cell model. In order to accomplish this goal, we assessed the role of a fatty acid-binding protein (FABP) family member on autophagy due to its function as an intracellular lipid chaperone. We focused specifically upon FABP5 due to its heightened expression in dopaminergic neurons within the substantia nigra and SH-SY5Y cells. Here, we report that knockdown of FABP5 resulted in suppression of autophagy in differentiated SH-SY5Y cells suggesting the possibility of an autophagic role for an interacting lipid. A lipidomic screen of FABP5-interacting lipids uncovered hits that include 5-oxo-eicosatetraenoic acid (5OE) and its precursor metabolite, arachidonic acid (AA). Additionally, other long-chain fatty acids were found to bind FABP5, such as stearic acid (SA), hydroxystearic acid (HSA), and palmitic acid (PA). The addition of 5OE, SA, and HSA but not AA or PA, led to potent inhibition of autophagy in SH-SY5Y cells. To identify potential molecular mechanisms for autophagy inhibition by these lipids, RNA-Seq was performed which revealed both shared and divergent signaling pathways between the lipid-treated groups. These findings suggest a role for these lipids in modulating autophagy through diverse signaling pathways and could represent novel therapeutic targets for Parkinson's disease.

Abstract
5-oxoETE is a bioactive lipid derived from arachidonic acid generated when phospholipase A2 activation coincides with oxidative stress. Through its G protein-coupled receptor OXER1, pure 5-oxoETE is a potent leukocyte chemoattractant. Yet, its physiological function has remained elusive owing to the unusual OXER1 conservation pattern. OXER1 is conserved from fish to primates but not in rodents, precluding genetic loss-of-function studies in mouse. To determine its physiological role, we combine transcriptomic, lipidomic, and intravital imaging assays with genetic perturbations of the OXER1 ortholog hcar1-4 in zebrafish. Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection induces the synthesis of 5-oxoETE and its receptor, along with other inflammatory pathways. Hcar1-4 deletion attenuates neutrophil recruitment and decreases post-infection survival, which could be rescued by ectopic expression of hcar1-4 or human OXER1. By revealing 5-oxoETE as dominant lipid regulator of the early antimicrobial response in a non-rodent vertebrate, our work expands the current, rodent-centric view of early inflammation.

Abstract
When ascending to high altitude, it is a rigorous challenge to people who living in the low altitude area to acclimatize to hypoxic environment. Hypoxia exposure can cause dramatic disturbances of metabolism. This longitudinal cohort study was conducted to delineate the plasma metabolomics profile following exposure to altitude environments and explore potential metabolic changes after return to low altitude area. 25 healthy volunteers living in the low altitude area (Nor; 40m) were transported to high altitude (HA; 3,650m) for a 7-day sojourn before transported back to the low altitude area (HAP; 40m). Plasma samples were collected on the day before ascending to HA, the third day on HA(day 3) and the fourteenth day after returning to low altitude(14 day) and analyzed using UHPLC-MS/MS tools and then the data were subjected to multivariate statistical analyses. There were 737 metabolites were obtained in plasma samples with 133 significantly changed metabolites. We screened 13 differential metabolites that were significantly changed under hypoxia exposure; enriched metabolic pathways under hypoxia exposure including tryptophan metabolism, purine metabolism, regulation of lipolysis in adipocytes; We verified and relatively quantified eight targeted candidate metabolites including adenosine, guanosine, inosine, xanthurenic acid, 5-oxo-ETE, raffinose, indole-3-acetic acid and biotin for the Nor and HA group. Most of the metabolites recovered when returning to the low altitude area, however, there were still 6 metabolites that were affected by hypoxia exposure. It is apparent that high-altitude exposure alters the metabolic characteristics and two weeks after returning to the low altitude area a small portion of metabolites was still affected by high-altitude exposure, which indicated that high-altitude exposure had a long-term impact on metabolism. This present longitudinal cohort study demonstrated that metabolomics can be a useful tool to monitor metabolic changes exposed to high altitude, providing new insight in the attendant health problem that occur in response to high altitude.

Targeting the oxoeicosanoid (OXE) receptor with a selective antagonist inhibits allergen-induced pulmonary inflammation in non-human primates. Br J Pharmacol 2021; 179:322-336. [PMID: 34766334 DOI: 10.1111/bph.15721] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2021] [Revised: 09/06/2021] [Accepted: 10/01/2021] [Indexed: 12/01/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The 5-lipoxygenase product 5-oxo-ETE (5-oxo-6,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoic acid) is a potent chemoattractant for eosinophils and neutrophils. However, little is known about its pathophysiological role because of the lack of a rodent ortholog of its OXE receptor. The present study aimed to determine whether the selective OXE receptor antagonist S-Y048 can inhibit allergen-induced pulmonary inflammation in a monkey model of asthma. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Monkeys sensitized to house dust mite antigen (HDM) were treated with either vehicle or S-Y048 prior to challenge with aerosolized HDM and bronchoalveolar (BAL) fluid was obtained 24 h later. After six weeks, animals that had initially been treated with vehicle received S-Y048 and vice versa for animals initially treated with S-Y048. Eosinophils and neutrophils in BAL and lung tissue samples were evaluated, as well as mucus-containing cells in bronchi. KEY RESULTS HDM significantly increased the numbers of eosinophils, neutrophils, and macrophages in BAL fluid 24 h after challenge. These responses were all significantly inhibited by S-Y048, which also reduced the numbers of eosinophils and neutrophils in lung tissue 24 h after challenge with HDM. S-Y048 also significantly reduced the numbers of bronchial epithelial cells staining for mucin and MUC5AC after antigen challenge. CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS This study provides the first evidence that 5-oxo-ETE may play an important role in inducing allergen-induced pulmonary inflammation and could also be involved in regulating MUC5AC in goblet cells. OXE receptor antagonists such as S-Y048 may useful therapeutic agents in asthma and other eosinophilic as well as neutrophilic diseases.

Abstract
5-Lipoxygenase (5-LOX) plays a key role in inflammation through the biosynthesis of leukotrienes and other lipid mediators. Current evidence suggests that dietary (poly)phenols exert a beneficial impact on human health through anti-inflammatory activities. Their mechanisms of action have mostly been associated with the modulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β), prostaglandins (PGE2), and the interaction with NF-κB and cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) pathways. Much less is known about the 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) pathway as a target of dietary (poly)phenols. This systematic review aimed to summarize how dietary (poly)phenols target the 5-LOX pathway in preclinical and human studies. The number of studies identified is low (5, 24, and 127 human, animal, and cellular studies, respectively) compared to the thousands of studies focusing on the COX-2 pathway. Some (poly)phenolics such as caffeic acid, hydroxytyrosol, resveratrol, curcumin, nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA), and quercetin have been reported to reduce the formation of 5-LOX eicosanoids in vitro. However, the in vivo evidence is inconclusive because of the low number of studies and the difficulty of attributing effects to (poly)phenols. Therefore, increasing the number of studies targeting the 5-LOX pathway would largely expand our knowledge on the anti-inflammatory mechanisms of (poly)phenols.

Abstract
5-Oxo-6,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoic acid (5-oxo-ETE) is an arachidonic acid metabolite formed by oxidation of the 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) product 5S-hydroxy-6,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoic acid (5S-HETE) by the NADP+-dependent enzyme 5-hydroxyeicosanoid dehydrogenase. It is the only 5-LO product with appreciable chemoattractant activity for human eosinophils. Its actions are mediated by the selective OXE receptor, which is highly expressed on eosinophils, basophils, neutrophils and monocytes. Orthologs of the OXER1 gene, which encodes this receptor, are found in many species except for rodents. Intradermal injection of 5-oxo-ETE into humans and monkeys elicits eosinophil infiltration into the skin, raising the possibility that it may play a pathophysiological role in eosinophilic diseases. To investigate this and possibly identify a novel therapy we sought to prepare synthetic antagonists that could selectively block the OXE receptor. We synthesized a series of indole-based compounds bearing substituents that mimic the regions of 5-oxo-ETE that are required for biological activity, which we modified to reduce metabolism. The most potent of these OXE receptor antagonists is S-Y048, which is a potent inhibitor of 5-oxo-ETE-induced calcium mobilization (IC50, 20 pM) and has a long half-life following oral administration. S-Y048 inhibited allergen-induced eosinophil infiltration into the skin of rhesus monkeys that had been experimentally sensitized to house dust mite and inhibited pulmonary inflammation resulting from challenge with aerosolized allergen. These data provide the first evidence for a pathophysiological role for 5-oxo-ETE in mammals and suggest that potent and selective OXE receptor antagonists such as S-Y048 may be useful therapeutic agents in asthma and other eosinophilic diseases.

Abstract
Clinical Relevance Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) including aspirin are of intensive use nowadays. These drugs exert their activity via the metabolism of arachidonic acid (AA) by cyclooxygenase inhibition. Though beneficial for health in some instances, both unspecific and specific cyclooxygenase inhibitor activity interfere with AA metabolism producing also proinflammatory lipids that may promote cancer. Materials and Methods This review is based on available literature on clinical uses, biochemical investigations, molecular medicine, pharmacology, toxicity, and epidemiology-clinical studies on NSAIDs and other drugs that may be used accordingly, which was collected from electronic (SciFinder, Medline, Science Direct, and ACS among others) and library searches of books and journals. Results Relevant literature supports the notion that NDSAID use may also promote proinflammatory biochemical events that are also related to precancerous predisposition. Several agents are proposed that may be employed in immediate future to supplement and optimize treatment with NSAIDs. In this way serious side effects arising from promotion of inflammation and cancer, especially in chronic NSAID users and high risk groups of patients, could be avoided.

Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a leading cause of mortality; however, the role of inflammatory mediators in its pathobiology remains unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of gender in COPD on lipid mediator levels.Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and serum were obtained from healthy never-smokers, smokers and COPD patients (Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease stage I–II/A–B) (n=114). 94 lipid mediators derived from the cytochrome-P450, lipoxygenase, and cyclooxygenase pathways were analysed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.Multivariate modelling identified a 9-lipid panel in BALF that classified female smokers with COPD from healthy female smokers (p=6×10−6). No differences were observed for the corresponding male population (p=1.0). These findings were replicated in an independent cohort with 92% accuracy (p=0.005). The strongest drivers were the cytochrome P450-derived epoxide products of linoleic acid (leukotoxins) and their corresponding soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH)-derived products (leukotoxin-diols). These species correlated with lung function (r=0.87; p=0.0009) and mRNA levels of enzymes putatively involved in their biosynthesis (r=0.96; p=0.003). Leukotoxin levels correlated with goblet cell abundance (r=0.72; p=0.028).These findings suggest a mechanism by which goblet cell-associated cytochrome-P450 and sEH activity produce elevated leukotoxin-diol levels, which play a putative role in the clinical manifestations of COPD in a female-dominated disease sub-phenotype.

Abstract
The 5-lipoxygenase product 5-oxo-6,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoic acid (5-oxo-ETE) is the most powerful human eosinophil chemoattractant among lipid mediators and could play a major pathophysiological role in eosinophilic diseases such as asthma. Its actions are mediated by the OXE receptor, orthologs of which are found in many species from humans to fish, but not rodents. The unavailability of rodent models to examine the pathophysiological roles of 5-oxo-ETE and the OXE receptor has substantially hampered progress in this area. As an alternative, we have explored the possibility that the cat could serve as an appropriate animal model to investigate the role of 5-oxo-ETE. We found that feline peripheral blood leukocytes synthesize 5-oxo-ETE and that physiologically relevant levels of 5-oxo-ETE are present in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from cats with experimentally induced asthma. 5-Oxo-ETE (EC50, 0.7nM) is a much more potent activator of actin polymerization in feline eosinophils than various other eicosanoids, including leukotriene (LT) B4 and prostaglandin D2. 5-Oxo-ETE and LTB4 induce feline leukocyte migration to similar extents at low concentrations (1nM), but at higher concentrations the response to 5-oxo-ETE is much greater. Although high concentrations of selective human OXE receptor antagonists blocked 5-oxo-ETE-induced actin polymerization in feline granulocytes, their potencies were about 200 times lower than for human granulocytes. We conclude that feline leukocytes synthesize and respond to 5-oxo-ETE, which could potentially play an important role in feline asthma, a common condition in this species. The cat could serve as a useful animal model to investigate the pathophysiological role of 5-oxo-ETE.

Effect of omega-3 fatty acid ethyl esters on the oxylipin composition of lipoproteins in hypertriglyceridemic, statin-treated subjects. PLoS One 2014; 9:e111471.

Abstract
Background Oxylipins mediate inflammation, vascular tension, and more. Their presence in lipoproteins could explain why lipoproteins mediate nearly identical activities. Methods To determine how oxylipins are distributed in the lipoproteins of hypertriglyceridemic subjects, and whether omega-3 fatty acids alter them in a manner consistent with improved cardiovascular health, we recruited 15 dyslipidemic subjects whose levels of low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were at goal but who remained hypertriglyceridemic (200–499 mg/dL). They were treated them with the indicated dose of 4 g/d omega-3 acid ethyl esters (P-OM3) for 8 weeks. Measured oxylipins included mid-chain alcohols (HETEs, HEPEs and HDoHEs), ketones (KETEs), epoxides (as EpETrEs, EpETEs, and EpDPEs). Results At baseline, arachidonate-oxylipins (HETEs, KETEs, and EpETrEs) were most abundant in plasma with the greatest fraction of total abundance (mean |95% CI|) being carried in high density lipoproteins (HDL); 42% |31, 57| followed by very low density lipoproteins (VLDL); 27% |20, 36|; and LDL 21% |16, 28|. EPA- and DHA-derived oxylipins constituted less than 11% of total. HDL carried alcohols and epoxides but VLDL was also rich in ketones. Treatment decreased AA-derived oxylipins across lipoprotein classes (−23% |−33, −12|, p = 0.0003), and expanded EPA−(322% |241, 422|, p<0.0001) and DHA-derived oxylipins (123% |80, 176|, p<0.0001). Conclusions Each lipoprotein class carries a unique oxylipin complement. P-OM3 treatment alters the oxylipin content of all classes, reducing pro-inflammatory and increasing anti-inflammatory species, consistent with the improved inflammatory and vascular status associated with the treatment.

Abstract
Arachidonic acid can be oxygenated by a variety of different enzymes, including lipoxygenases, cyclooxygenases, and cytochrome P450s, and can be converted to a complex mixture of oxygenated products as a result of lipid peroxidation. The initial products in these reactions are hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acids (HpETEs) and hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (HETEs). Oxoeicosatetraenoic acids (oxo-ETEs) can be formed by the actions of various dehydrogenases on HETEs or by dehydration of HpETEs. Although a large number of different HETEs and oxo-ETEs have been identified, this review will focus principally on 5-oxo-ETE, 5S-HETE, 12S-HETE, and 15S-HETE. Other related arachidonic acid metabolites will also be discussed in less detail. 5-Oxo-ETE is synthesized by oxidation of the 5-lipoxygenase product 5S-HETE by the selective enzyme, 5-hydroxyeicosanoid dehydrogenase. It actions are mediated by the selective OXE receptor, which is highly expressed on eosinophils, suggesting that it may be important in eosinophilic diseases such as asthma. 5-Oxo-ETE also appears to stimulate tumor cell proliferation and may also be involved in cancer. Highly selective and potent OXE receptor antagonists have recently become available and could help to clarify its pathophysiological role. The 12-lipoxygenase product 12S-HETE acts by the GPR31 receptor and promotes tumor cell proliferation and metastasis and could therefore be a promising target in cancer therapy. It may also be involved as a proinflammatory mediator in diabetes. In contrast, 15S-HETE may have a protective effect in cancer. In addition to GPCRs, higher concentration of HETEs and oxo-ETEs can activate peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) and could potentially regulate a variety of processes by this mechanism. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled "Oxygenated metabolism of PUFA: analysis and biological relevance".

Abstract
Brain concussions are a serious public concern and are associated with neuropsychiatric disorders, such as depression. Patients with concussion who suffer from depression often experience distress. Nevertheless, few pre-clinical studies have examined concussion-induced depression, and there is little information regarding its pharmacological management. Edaravone, a free radical scavenger, can exert neuroprotective effects in several animal models of neurological disorders. However, the effectiveness of edaravone in animal models of concussion-induced depression remains unclear. In this study, we examined whether edaravone could prevent concussion-induced depression. Mice were subjected to a weight-drop injury and intravenously administered edaravone (3.0 mg/kg) or vehicle immediately after impact. Serial magnetic resonance imaging showed no abnormalities of the cerebrum on diffusion T1- and T2-weighted images. We found that edaravone suppressed concussion-induced depressive-like behavior in the forced swim test, which was accompanied by inhibition of increased hippocampal and cortical oxidative stress (OS) and suppression of 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) translocation to the nuclear envelope in hippocampal astrocytes. Hippocampal OS in concussed mice was also prevented by the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase inhibitor, apocynin, and administration of BWB70C, a 5-LOX inhibitor, immediately and 24 h after injury prevented depressive-like behaviors in concussed mice. Further, antidepressant effects of edaravone were observed in mice receiving 1.0 or 3.0 mg/kg of edaravone immediately after impact, but not at a lower dose of 0.1 mg/kg. This antidepressant effect persisted up to 1 h after impact, whereas edaravone treatment at 3 h after impact had no effect on concussion-induced depressive-like behavior. These results suggest that edaravone protects against concussion-induced depression, and this protection is mediated by suppression of OS and 5-LOX translocation.

Abstract
Fatty acids are involved in T cell biology both as nutrients important for energy production as well as signaling molecules. In particular, polyunsaturated fatty acids are known to exhibit a range of immunomodulatory properties that progress through T cell mediated events, although the molecular mechanisms of these actions have not yet been fully elucidated. Some of these immune activities are linked to polyunsaturated fatty acid-induced alteration of the composition of cellular membranes and the consequent changes in signaling pathways linked to membrane raft-associated proteins. However, significant aspects of the polyunsaturated fatty acid bioactivities are mediated through their transformation to specific lipid mediators, products of cyclooxygenase, lipoxygenase, or cytochrome P450 enzymatic reactions. Resulting bioactive metabolites including prostaglandins, leukotrienes, and endocannabinoids are produced by and/or act upon T leukocytes through cell surface receptors and have been shown to alter T cell activation and differentiation, proliferation, cytokine production, motility, and homing events. Detailed appreciation of the mode of action of these lipids presents opportunities for the design and development of therapeutic strategies aimed at regulating T cell function.

Abstract
5-Oxo-6,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoic acid (5-oxo-ETE) is a 5-lipoxygenase product that is a potent granulocyte chemoattractant, which induces the infiltration of eosinophils into human skin when injected intradermally. It could therefore be an important proinflammatory mediator in eosinophilic diseases such as asthma and allergic rhinitis, and the OXE receptor, which mediates its actions, is therefore an attractive drug target. Using a structure-based approach in which substituents mimicking the essential polar (C1-C5) and hydrophobic (C15-C20) regions of 5-oxo-ETE were incorporated on an indole scaffold, we identified two potent selective OXE antagonists with IC50 values of about 30 nM. Neither compound displayed agonist activity and both inhibited 5-oxo-ETE-induced chemotaxis and actin polymerization and were relatively resistant to metabolism by rat liver homogenates. The active enantiomers of these racemic antagonists were even more potent, with IC50 values of <10 nM. These selective OXE antagonists could potentially be useful therapeutic agents in allergic diseases such as asthma.

Abstract
5-Oxo-ETE (5-oxo-6,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoic acid) is formed from the 5-lipoxygenase product 5-HETE (5S-hydroxy-6,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoic acid) by 5-hydroxyeicosanoid dehydrogenase (5-HEDH). The cofactor NADP(+) is a limiting factor in the synthesis of 5-oxo-ETE because of its low concentrations in unperturbed cells. Activation of the respiratory burst in phagocytic cells, oxidative stress, and cell death all dramatically elevate both intracellular NADP(+) levels and 5-oxo-ETE synthesis. 5-HEDH is widely expressed in inflammatory, structural, and tumor cells. Cells devoid of 5-lipoxygenase can synthesize 5-oxo-ETE by transcellular biosynthesis using inflammatory cell-derived 5-HETE. 5-Oxo-ETE is a chemoattractant for neutrophils, monocytes, and basophils and promotes the proliferation of tumor cells. However, its primary target appears to be the eosinophil, for which it is a highly potent chemoattractant. The actions of 5-oxo-ETE are mediated by the highly selective OXE receptor, which signals by activating various second messenger pathways through the release of the βγ-dimer from Gi/o proteins to which it is coupled. Because of its potent effects on eosinophils, 5-oxo-ETE may be an important mediator in asthma, and, because of its proliferative effects, may also contribute to tumor progression. Selective OXE receptor antagonists, which are currently under development, could be useful therapeutic agents in asthma and other allergic diseases.

Abstract
Omega-3 (or n-3) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and their metabolites are natural ligands for peroxisome proliferator receptor activator (PPAR)gamma and, due to the effects of PPARgamma on cell proliferation, survival, and differentiation, are potential anticancer agents. Dietary intake of omega-3 PUFAs has been associated with a reduced risk of certain cancers in human populations and in animal models. In vitro studies have shown that omega-3 PUFAs inhibit cell proliferation and induce apoptosis in cancer cells through various pathways but one of which involves PPARgamma activation. The differential activation of PPARgamma and PPARgamma-regulated genes by specific dietary fatty acids may be central to their distinct roles in cancer. This review summarizes studies relating PUFAs to PPARgamma and cancer and offers a new paradigm relating an n-3 PUFA through PPARgamma to the expression of the cell surface proteoglycan, syndecan-1, and to the death of cancer cells.

Abstract
B lymphocytes convert arachidonic acid (AA) to the 5-lipoxygenase products leukotriene B4 (LTB4) and 5-hydroxy-6,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoic acid (5-HETE) when subjected to oxidative stress. 5-HETE has little biological activity, but can be oxidized by a selective dehydrogenase in some cells to 5-oxo-6,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoic acid (5-oxo-ETE), a potent eosinophil chemoattractant. We found that CESS cells, a B lymphocyte cell line, convert AA to 5-oxo-ETE and this is selectively stimulated by oxidative stress. In the presence of H2O2, 5-oxo-ETE is a major AA metabolite in these cells (5-oxo-ETE≈5-HETE>LTB4). The cyclooxygenase product 12-hydroxy-5,8,10-heptadecatrienoic acid is also formed, but is not affected by H2O2. Diamide had effects similar to those of H2O2 and both substances had similar effects on human tonsillar B cells. H2O2 also stimulated 5-oxo-ETE formation from its direct precursor 5-HETE in tonsillar B and CESS cells, and this was inhibited by the glutathione reductase inhibitor carmustine. H2O2 concomitantly induced rapid increases in GSSG and NADP+ and reductions in GSH and NADPH. We conclude that oxidative stress stimulates 5-oxo-ETE synthesis in B lymphocytes by two mechanisms: activation of 5-lipoxygenase and increased oxidation of 5-HETE by NADP+-dependent 5-hydroxyeicosanoid dehydrogenase. B lymphocyte-derived 5-oxo-ETE could contribute to eosinophilic inflammation in asthma and other allergic diseases.

Abstract
Endothelium-derived epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) relax vascular smooth muscle by activating potassium channels and causing membrane hyperpolarization. Recent evidence suggests that EETs act via a membrane binding site or receptor. To further characterize this binding site or receptor, we synthesized 20-iodo-14,15-epoxyeicosa-8(Z)-enoyl-3-azidophenylsulfonamide (20-I-14,15-EE8ZE-APSA), an EET analogue with a photoactive azido group. 20-I-14,15-EE8ZE-APSA and 14,15-EET displaced 20-(125)I-14,15-epoxyeicosa-5(Z)-enoic acid binding to U937 cell membranes with K(i) values of 3.60 and 2.73 nM, respectively. The EET analogue relaxed preconstricted bovine coronary arteries with an ED(50) comparable to that of 14,15-EET. Using electrophoresis, 20-(125)I-14,15-EE8ZE-APSA labeled a single 47 kDa band in U937 cell membranes, smooth muscle and endothelial cells, and bovine coronary arteries. In U937 cell membranes, the 47 kDa radiolabeling was inhibited in a concentration-dependent manner by 8,9-EET, 11,12-EET, and 14,15-EET (IC(50) values of 444, 11.7, and 8.28 nM, respectively). The structurally unrelated EET ligands miconazole, MS-PPOH, and ketoconazole also inhibited the 47 kDa labeling. In contrast, radiolabeling was not inhibited by 8,9-dihydroxyeicosatrienoic acid, 5-oxoeicosatetraenoic acid, a biologically inactive thiirane analogue of 14,15-EET, the opioid antagonist naloxone, the thromboxane mimetic U46619, or the cannabinoid antagonist AM251. Radiolabeling was not detected in membranes from HEK293T cells expressing 79 orphan receptors. These studies indicate that vascular smooth muscle, endothelial cells, and U937 cell membranes contain a high-affinity EET binding protein that may represent an EET receptor. This EET photoaffinity labeling method with a high signal-to-noise ratio may lead to new insights into the expression and regulation of the EET receptor.

Abstract
The 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) product 5-oxo-6,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoic acid (5-oxo-ETE), which is a potent chemoattractant for myeloid cells, is known to promote the survival of prostate cancer cells. In the present study, we found that PC3 prostate cancer cells and cell lines derived from breast (MCF7) and lung (A-427) cancers contain 5-hydroxyeicosanoid dehydrogenase (5-HEDH) activity and have the ability to synthesize 5-oxo-ETE from its precursor 5S-hydroxy-6,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoic acid (5-HETE) when added as an exogenous substrate. H(2)O(2) strongly stimulated the synthesis of 5-oxo-ETE and induced dramatic increases in the levels of both glutathione disulfide and NADP(+). The effects of H(2)O(2) on 5-oxo-ETE and NADP(+) were blocked by N-ethylmaleimide (NEM), indicating that this effect was mediated by the glutathione reductase-dependent generation of NADP(+), the cofactor required by 5-HEDH. 5-Oxo-ETE synthesis was also stimulated by agents that have cytotoxic effects on tumor cells, including 4,7,10,13,16,19-docosahexaenoic acid, tamoxifen and MK-886. Because PC3 cells have only modest 5-LO activity compared with inflammatory cells, we investigated their ability to contribute to the transcellular biosynthesis of 5-oxo-ETE from neutrophil-derived 5-HETE. Stimulation of neutrophils with arachidonic acid and calcium ionophore in the presence of PC3 cells led to a large and selective increase in 5-oxo-ETE synthesis compared with controls in which PC3 cell 5-oxo-ETE synthesis was selectively blocked by pretreatment with NEM. The ability of prostate tumor cells to synthesize 5-oxo-ETE may contribute to tumor cell proliferation as well as the influx of inflammatory cells, which may further induce cell proliferation through the release of cytokines. 5-Oxo-ETE may be an attractive target in cancer therapy.

Abstract
Over the last 50 years, the posttranslational modification (PTM) of proteins has emerged as a central mechanism for cells to regulate metabolism, growth, differentiation, cell-cell interactions, and immune responses. By influencing protein structure and function, PTM leads to a multiplication of proteome diversity. Redox-dependent PTMs, mediated by environmental and endogenously generated reactive species, induce cell signaling responses and can have toxic effects in organisms. PTMs induced by the electrophilic by-products of redox reactions most frequently occur at protein thiols; other nucleophilic amino acids serve as less favorable targets. Advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-chemistry strategies have improved the detection of electrophile-induced protein modifications both in vitro and in vivo and have revealed a high degree of amino acid and protein selectivity of electrophilic PTM. The identification of biological targets of electrophiles has motivated further study of the functional impact of various PTM reactions on specific signaling pathways and how this might affect organisms.

Abstract
5-Oxo-ETE is a product of the 5-lipoxygenase pathway that is formed by the oxidation of 5-HETE by 5-hydroxyeicosanoid dehydrogenase (5-HEDH). 5-HEDH is a microsomal NADP(+)-dependent enzyme that is highly selective for 5-HETE. 5-Oxo-ETE synthesis is regulated by intracellular NADP(+) levels and is dramatically increased under conditions that favor oxidation of NADPH to NADP(+) such as oxidative stress and the respiratory burst in phagocytic cells. 5-Oxo-ETE is a potent chemoattractant for eosinophils and has similar effects on neutrophils, basophils and monocytes. It elicits infiltration of eosinophils and, to a lesser extent, neutrophils into the skin after intradermal injection in humans. It also promotes the survival of tumor cells and has been shown to block the induction of apoptosis by 5-LO inhibitors. 5-Oxo-ETE acts by the G(i/o)-coupled OXE receptor, which was also known as TG1019, R527 and hGPCR48. Although the pathophysiological role of 5-oxo-ETE is not well understood, it may play important roles in asthma and allergic diseases, cancer, and cardiovascular disease. The availability of a selective antagonist would help to clarify the role of 5-oxo-ETE and may be of therapeutic benefit.

Abstract
Abstract
Context.—Eosinophilic cystitis (EC) is an inflammatory condition of the bladder that has been linked to food allergens, infectious agents, drugs, and other genitourinary conditions. Like interstitial cystitis, EC has a strong female predominance. It is characterized by an intense eosinophilic infiltrate in the acute phase and fibrosis in the chronic phase.
Objectives.—To document and focus on specific features of EC in males and highlight the relationship between clinical and histopathologic findings.
Design.—The bladder biopsies of male patients were reviewed. Eight cases of EC were selected.
Results.—Several known associations were noted as well as unreported features and associations such as Charcot-Leyden crystals, celiac disease, lupus anticoagulant, and additional viral and bacterial agents.
Conclusions.—Eosinophilic cystitis represents a response to a variety of agents and may often be overlooked. The temporally biphasic morphologic features are the hallmark of this condition. Because clinical and imaging studies are not specific, a high index of clinical suspicion is often crucial to the correct diagnosis and proper management of EC.

Abstract
5-Oxo-6E,8Z,11Z,14Z-eicosatetraenoic acid (5-oxo-ETE) is a metabolite of the 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) product 5S-hydroxy-6E,8Z,11Z,14Z-eicosatetraenoic acid (5-HETE), formed by the microsomal enzyme 5-hydroxyeicosanoid dehydrogenase (5-HEDH). 5-oxo-ETE is a chemoattractant for neutrophils and eosinophils, both in vitro and in vivo. To examine the substrate selectivity of 5-HEDH and to search for potential inhibitors, we prepared a series of 5S-hydroxy fatty acids (C(12) to C(20) containing zero to four double bonds) by total chemical synthesis and examined their metabolism by microsomes from monocytic U937 cells. Although most of these fatty acids were oxidized to their 5-oxo metabolites by 5-HEDH, 5-HETE seemed to be the best substrate. However, substrates containing less than 16 carbons, a methylated alpha-carboxyl group, or a hydroxyl group at the omega-end of the molecule were not substantially metabolized. Some of the fatty acids tested were fairly potent inhibitors of the formation of 5-oxo-ETE by 5-HEDH, in particular 5-hydroxy-6-octadecenoic acid and 5-hydroxy-6-eicosenoic acid. Both substances selectively inhibited 5-oxo-ETE formation by human peripheral blood mononuclear cells incubated with arachidonic acid and calcium ionophore without affecting the formation of leukotriene B(4), 12-HETE, or 12-hydroxy-5,8,10-heptadecatrienoic acid. We conclude that the requirements for appreciable metabolism by 5-HEDH include a chain length of at least 16 carbons, a free alpha-carboxyl group, and a hydrophobic group at the omega-end of the molecule. 5-Hydroxy-Delta(6) C(18) and C(20) fatty acids selectively inhibit 5-HEDH without inhibiting 5-LO, leukotriene A(4) hydrolase, 12-lipoxygenase, or cyclooxygenase. Such compounds may be useful in defining the role of 5-oxo-ETE and its mechanism of synthesis.

Abstract
Thiol redox state (TRS) is an important parameter to reflect intracellular oxidative stress and is associated with various normal and abnormal biochemical processes. Agents that can be used to increase intracellular TRS will be valuable tools in TRS-related research. Glutathione reductase (GR) is a critical enzyme in the homeostasis of TRS. The enzyme catalyzes the reduction of GSSG to GSH to maintain a high GSH:GSSG ratio. Inhibition of the enzyme can be used to increase TRS. Despite the reports of various GR inhibitors, N,N-bis(2-chloroethyl)-N-nitrosourea, an anticancer drug with IC(50) = 647 microm against yeast GR, remains the most commonly used GR inhibitor in the literature. However, the toxicity caused by nonspecific interactions, as well as inhibition of DNA synthesis, complicates the use of N,N-bis(2-chloroethyl)-N-nitrosourea as a GR inhibitor. We report 2-acetylamino-3-[4-(2-acetylamino-2-carboxyethylsulfanylthiocarbonylamino)phenylthiocarbamoylsulfanyl]propionic acid (2-AAPA) as a novel irreversible GR inhibitor. 2-AAPA was prepared by one-step synthesis from commercially available reagents. The K(i) and k(inact) of 2-AAPA against yeast GR were determined to be 56 microm and 0.1 min(-1), respectively. At the concentration that produced >80% yeast GR inhibition, 2-AAPA showed no inhibition against glutamylcysteine synthetase, glutathione synthetase, catalase, and superoxide dismutase, but minimal inhibition against glutathione S-transferase and glutathione peroxidase. In CV-1 cells, 2-AAPA (0.1 mm) produced 97% GR inhibition, 25% GSH reduction, and a 5-fold increase in GSSG in 20 min. The compound can be a useful tool in TRS-related research.

Abstract
The 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) pathway has been associated with a variety of inflammatory diseases including asthma, atherosclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, pain, cancer and liver fibrosis. Several classes of 5-LOX inhibitors have been identified, but only one drug, zileuton, a redox inhibitor of 5-LOX, has been approved for clinical use. To better evaluate the efficacy of 5-LOX inhibitors for pharmacological intervention, a rat model was modified to test the in vivo efficacy of 5-LOX inhibitors. Inflammation was produced by adding carrageenan into a newly formed air pouch and prostaglandins produced. While macrophages and neutrophils are present in the inflamed pouch, little 5-LOX products are formed. Cellular 5-LOX activation was obtained by adding calcium ionophore (A23187) into the pouch thus providing a novel model to evaluate the efficacy and selectivity of 5-LOX inhibitors. Also, we described modifications to the in vitro 5-LOX enzyme and cell assays. These assays included a newly developed fluorescence-based enzyme assay, a 5-LOX redox assay, an ex vivo human whole blood assay and an IgE-stimulated rat mast cell assay, all designed for maximal production of leukotrienes. Zileuton and CJ-13,610, a competitive, non-redox inhibitor of 5-LOX, were evaluated for their pharmacological properties using these assays. Although both compounds achieved dose-dependent inhibition of 5-LOX enzyme activity, CJ-13,610 was 3-4 fold more potent than zileuton in all-assays. Evaluation of 5-LOX metabolites-by LC/MS/MS and ELISA confirmed that both compounds selectively inhibited all products downstream of 5-hydroperoxy eicosatetraenoic acid (5-HPETE), including 5-oxo-6,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoic acid (5-oxoETE), without inhibition of 12-lipoxygenase (12-LOX), 15-lipoxygenase (15-LOX), or cyclooxygenase (COX) products. In the rat air pouch model, oral dosing of CJ-13,610 and zileuton resulted in selective inhibition 5-LOX activity from pouch exudate and ex vivo rat whole blood with similar potency to in vitro assay. These data show that the rat air pouch model is a reliable and useful tool for evaluating in vivo efficacy of 5-LOX inhibitors and may aid in the development of the next generation of 5-LOX inhibitors, such as the non-redox inhibitors similar to CJ-13,610.

Abstract
The 5-lipoxygenase product 5-oxo-ETE (5-oxo-eicosatetraenoic acid) is a highly potent granulocyte chemoattractant that is synthesized from 5-HETE (5-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid) by 5-HEDH (5-hydroxyeicosanoid dehydrogenase). In the present study, we found that 5-HEDH activity is induced in U937 monocytic cells by differentiation towards macrophages with PMA and in HL-60 myeloblastic cells by 1,25-dihydroxy-vitamin D3. We used PMA-differentiated U937 cells to investigate further the regulation of 5-HEDH. This enzyme exhibits approx. 10000-fold selectivity for NADP+ over NAD+ as a cofactor for the oxidation of 5-HETE, which is maximal at pH 10.2. In contrast, the reverse reaction (5-oxo-ETE-->5-HETE) is NADPH-dependent and is maximal at pH 6. Although the K(m) for the forward reaction (670 nM) is about twice that for the reverse reaction at neutral pH, the V(max) is approx 8-fold higher. The oxidation of 5-HETE to 5-oxo-ETE is supported by very low concentrations of NADP(+) (K(m) 139 nM), inhibited by NADPH (K(i) 224 nM) and is consistent with a ping-pong mechanism. The amount of 5-oxo-ETE synthesized by 5-HEDH depends on the ratio of NADP+ to NADPH. Exposure of U937 cells to oxidative stress (t-butyl hydroperoxide) increased the ratio of NADP+ to NADPH from approx. 0.08 in resting cells to approx. 3, and this was accompanied by a dramatic increase in 5-HETE oxidation to 5-oxo-ETE. We conclude that differentiation of monocytic cells towards macrophages results in enhanced 5-oxo-ETE synthesis and that the ability of cells to synthesize 5-oxo-ETE is tightly regulated by the ratio of intracellular NADP+ to NADPH.

Abstract
5-Oxo-6,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoic acid (5-oxo-ETE) is a potent eosinophil chemoattractant that is synthesized from the 5-lipoxygenase product 5S-hydroxy-6,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoic acid (5-HETE) by the NADP+-dependent enzyme 5-hydroxyeicosanoid dehydrogenase (5-HEDH), previously reported only in inflammatory cells. Because of their critical location at the interface of the lung with the external environment, we sought to determine whether epithelial cells could also synthesize this substance. We found that HEp-2, T84, A549, and BEAS-2B cells all synthesize 5-oxo-ETE from 5-HETE in amounts comparable to leukocytes. The epithelial dehydrogenase is localized in the microsomal fraction, requires NADP+, and is selective for the S-isomer of 5-HETE, suggesting that it is identical to leukocyte 5-HEDH. Normal human bronchial epithelial cells have an even greater capacity to synthesize 5-oxo-ETE. H2O2 dramatically stimulates its synthesis in association with increased levels of intracellular GSSG and NADP+. These responses were all blocked by removal of GSH/GSSG with N-ethylmaleimide, suggesting that H2O2 stimulates 5-oxo-ETE synthesis by raising NADP+ levels through activation of the GSH redox cycle. Airway smooth muscle cells can also synthesize 5-oxo-ETE, but to a lesser extent. These results suggest that epithelial cells may be a major source of 5-oxo-ETE under conditions of oxidative stress, which may contribute to eosinophil infiltration in allergic diseases.

Abstract
There is increasing evidence that proinflammatory products of the 5-lipoxygenase pathway play an important role in cardiovascular disease. In the present study, we found that human endothelial cells rapidly oxidize the 5-lipoxygenase product 5S-hydroxy-6,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoic acid (5-HETE) to 5-oxo-6,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoic acid (5-oxo-ETE), a potent chemoattractant for myeloid cells. 5-Oxo-ETE synthesis is strongly stimulated by oxidative stress. This effect is enhanced following inhibition of the pentose phosphate pathway with dehydroepiandrosterone and is mimicked by diamide, which oxidizes intracellular GSH to GSSG. Conversely, it is blocked by depletion of intracellular GSH/GSSG. The kinetics of H2O2-induced 5-oxo-ETE synthesis by endothelial cells correlate well with changes in the intracellular levels of GSSG and NADP+. These results suggest that exposure of the endothelium to oxidative stress and inflammation could result in the synthesis of 5-oxo-ETE, which could then induce the infiltration of inflammatory cells into the tissue.

Abstract
Several chemoattractants can regulate the recruitment of eosinophils to sites of inflammation, but the hierarchy among them is unknown. We observed here that eosinophil chemotaxis towards eotaxin or 5-oxo-6,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoic acid (5-oxo-ETE) was amplified up to sixfold in the presence of prostaglandin (PG) D2. This effect was only seen in eosinophils, and not in neutrophils or basophils. Pretreatment with the chemoattractant receptor-homologous molecule expressed on TH2 cells (CRTH2) antagonist ramatroban prevented the PGD2 enhancement of eosinophil migrations. In contrast, eotaxin or 5-oxo-ETE inhibited the migration of eosinophils towards PGD2. 5-oxo-ETE enhanced the chemotaxis to eotaxin, while eotaxin had no effect on 5-oxo-ETE-induced migration. 5-oxo-ETE induced the phosphorylation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase, and inhibition of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase by SB-202190 converted the effect of 5-oxo-ETE on the chemotaxis to PGD2 from inhibition to enhancement. The presence of blood or plasma markedly decreased the sensitivity of eosinophils to eotaxin or 5-oxo-ETE, while responses to PGD2 were unaltered. In conclusion, PGD2 might be an initial chemoattractant, since it maintains its potency in the circulation and augments the responsiveness of eosinophils to other chemoattractants. In contrast, eotaxin seems to be an end-point chemoattractant, since it has reduced efficacy in blood and is capable of down-modulating eosinophil responsiveness to other chemoattractants.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The purpose of the current study was to elucidate the protective/mitigating effects of a SOD-catalase mimetic, Eukarion-189 (EUK-189), on DNA damage in rat lung following irradiation. The particular focus of these studies was the efficacy of EUK-189 when given after irradiation (mitigation). PATIENTS AND METHODS We exposed whole or lower lungs of female Sprague-Dawley rats to doses ranging from 10 to 20.5 Gray (Gy) of (60)Co gamma rays. Animals in the EUK-189 treated groups received 2 or 30 mg/kg intraperitoneally (i.p.) at various times postirradiation (PI). A micronucleus assay was used to examine DNA damage at various times up to 16 weeks PI. RESULTS Our results indicated that EUK-189 administration after irradiation is effective at reducing micronucleus formation in lung fibroblasts at various times following radiation exposure. Treatment with EUK-189 in the first 3 days after thoracic irradiation did not, however, modify the dose required to cause severe morbidity at 2-3 months after irradiation. CONCLUSIONS The protection produced when Eukarion-189 was given shortly after irradiation suggests that DNA damage observed in the lung may be caused by chronic production of ROS induced by a chronic inflammatory response initiated by the radiation treatment. We speculate that our failure to observe protection against severe morbidity at 2-3 months may be because our treatment regime only blocked the initial wave of ROS production and that treatment needs to be more prolonged to suppress the effects of a chronic inflammatory response.

Abstract
Previously, we reported that metabolism of arachidonic acid through the 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) pathway plays an important role in the survival and growth of human prostate cancer cells. Inhibition of 5-LOX by pharmacological inhibitors triggers apoptosis in prostate cancer cells within hours of treatment, which is prevented by the metabolites of arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase, 5(S)-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (5(S)-HETE), and its dehydrogenated derivative, 5-oxoeicosatetraenoic acid (5-oxoETE). These findings suggested that 5-lipoxygenase metabolites are critical survival factors of prostate cancer cells. However, molecular mechanisms by which 5(S)-HETE and its derivative 5-oxoETE exert their effects on prostate cancer cell survival are yet to be understood. Here, we report that human prostate cancer cells differentially express a G-protein-coupled 5-oxoETE receptor (5-oxoER) in them. Blocking expression of 5-oxoER by short-interfering RNA (siRNA) significantly reduced the viability of prostate cancer cells, suggesting that 5-oxoER is critical for prostate cancer cell survival, and that the 5-LOX metabolite, 5-oxoETE, controls survival of prostate cancer cells through its own G-protein-coupled receptor, 5-oxoER.

Abstract
The eicosanoid 5-oxo-6E,8Z,11Z,14Z-eicosatetraenoic acid (5-oxo-ETE) has recently been identified as the ligand for the oxoeicosanoid (OXE) receptor. In vitro and in vivo studies have suggested that 5-oxo-ETE has a role in the asthmatic inflammatory response and it has been shown to stimulate eosinophil migration to the airways. New data suggest that eosinophils have an important role in the pathogenesis of asthma, being required for mucus accumulation, airway hyperresponsiveness and remodelling of the airways. However, there are several mediators that can stimulate the recruitment of eosinophils to the airways and the development of antagonists against the OXE receptor is required to evaluate the potential of the OXE receptor as a new therapeutic approach for asthma.

Abstract
Oxidative stress has been postulated to play an important role in the pathogenesis of asthma; although a defect in antioxidant responses has been speculated to exacerbate asthma severity, this has been difficult to demonstrate with certainty. Nuclear erythroid 2 p45-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is a redox-sensitive basic leucine zipper transcription factor that is involved in the transcriptional regulation of many antioxidant genes. We show that disruption of the Nrf2 gene leads to severe allergen-driven airway inflammation and hyperresponsiveness in mice. Enhanced asthmatic response as a result of ovalbumin sensitization and challenge in Nrf2-disrupted mice was associated with more pronounced mucus cell hyperplasia and infiltration of eosinophils into the lungs than seen in wild-type littermates. Nrf2 disruption resulted in an increased expression of the T helper type 2 cytokines interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-13 in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and in splenocytes after allergen challenge. The enhanced severity of the asthmatic response from disruption of the Nrf2 pathway was a result of a lowered antioxidant status of the lungs caused by lower basal expression, as well as marked attenuation, of the transcriptional induction of multiple antioxidant genes. Our studies suggest that the responsiveness of Nrf2-directed antioxidant pathways may act as a major determinant of susceptibility to allergen-mediated asthma.

Abstract
We have previously identified a Galpha(i/o)-protein-coupled receptor (TG1019/OXE) using 5-oxo-6E,8Z,11Z,14Z-eicosatetraenoic acid (5-oxo-ETE) as its ligand. We investigated signal transduction from TG1019 following stimulation with 5-oxo-ETE and role of TG1019 in 5-oxo-ETE-induced chemotaxis, using Chinese hamster ovary cells expressing TG1019 (CHO/TG1019 cells). 5-Oxo-ETE induced intracellular calcium mobilization and rapid activation of MEK/ERK and PI3K/Akt pathways in CHO/TG1019 cells. CHO/TG1019 cells stimulated with 5-oxo-ETE and other eicosanoids exhibited chemotaxis with efficacies related to agonistic activity of each eicosanoid for TG1019. Pretreatment of the cells with pertussis toxin, a phospholipase C (PLC) inhibitor (U73122) or a PI3K inhibitor (LY294002), markedly suppressed 5-oxo-ETE-induced chemotaxis, whereas pretreatment with a MEK inhibitor (PD98059) had no significant effect on the chemotaxis. Our results show that TG1019 mediates 5-oxo-ETE-induced chemotaxis and that signals from TG1019 are transduced via Galpha(i/o) protein to PLC/calcium mobilization, MEK/ERK, and PI3K/Akt, among which PLC and PI3K would play important roles in the chemotaxis.

Abstract
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) functions in various biological processes, including macrophage and adipocyte differentiation. Several natural lipid metabolites have been shown to activate PPARgamma. Here, we report that some PPARgamma ligands, including 15-deoxy-Delta12,14-prostaglandin J2, covalently bind to a cysteine residue in the PPARgamma ligand binding pocket through a Michael addition reaction by an alpha,beta-unsaturated ketone. Using rhodamine-maleimide as well as mass spectroscopy, we showed that the binding of these ligands is covalent and irreversible. Consistently, mutation at the cysteine residue abolished abilities of these ligands to activate PPARgamma, but not of BRL49653, a non-covalent synthetic agonist, indicating that covalent binding of the alpha,beta-unsaturated ketone in the natural ligands was required for their transcriptional activities. Screening of lipid metabolites containing the alpha,beta-unsaturated ketone revealed that several other oxidized metabolites of hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid, hydroxyeicosadecaenoic acid, and prostaglandins can also function as novel covalent ligands for PPARgamma. We propose that PPARgamma senses oxidation of fatty acids by recognizing such an alpha,beta-unsaturated ketone as a common moiety.
