Pharmacol Ther 2022; 240:108213. [PMID: 35597366 DOI: 10.1016/j.pharmthera.2022.108213] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2022] [Revised: 05/11/2022] [Accepted: 05/12/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Adenosine is a ubiquitous endogenous nucleoside or autacoid that affects the cardiovascular system through the activation of four G-protein coupled receptors: adenosine A1 receptor (A1AR), adenosine A2A receptor (A2AAR), adenosine A2B receptor (A2BAR), and adenosine A3 receptor (A3AR). With the rapid generation of this nucleoside from cellular metabolism and the widespread distribution of its four G-protein coupled receptors in almost all organs and tissues of the body, this autacoid induces multiple physiological as well as pathological effects, not only regulating the cardiovascular system but also the central nervous system, peripheral vascular system, and immune system. Mounting evidence shows the role of CYP450-enzymes in cardiovascular physiology and pathology, and the genetic polymorphisms in CYP450s can increase susceptibility to cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). One of the most important physiological roles of CYP450-epoxygenases (CYP450-2C & CYP2J2) is the metabolism of arachidonic acid (AA) and linoleic acid (LA) into epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) and epoxyoctadecaenoic acid (EpOMEs) which generally involve in vasodilation. Like an increase in coronary reactive hyperemia (CRH), an increase in anti-inflammation, and cardioprotective effects. Moreover, the genetic polymorphisms in CYP450-epoxygenases will change the beneficial cardiovascular effects of metabolites or oxylipins into detrimental effects. The soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) is another crucial enzyme ubiquitously expressed in all living organisms and almost all organs and tissues. However, in contrast to CYP450-epoxygenases, sEH converts EETs into dihydroxyeicosatrienoic acid (DHETs), EpOMEs into dihydroxyoctadecaenoic acid (DiHOMEs), and others and reverses the beneficial effects of epoxy-fatty acids leading to vasoconstriction, reducing CRH, increase in pro-inflammation, increase in pro-thrombotic and become less cardioprotective. Therefore, polymorphisms in the sEH gene (Ephx2) cause the enzyme to become overactive, making it more vulnerable to CVDs, including hypertension. Besides the sEH, ω-hydroxylases (CYP450-4A11 & CYP450-4F2) derived metabolites from AA, ω terminal-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (19-, 20-HETE), lipoxygenase-derived mid-chain hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (5-, 11-, 12-, 15-HETEs), and the cyclooxygenase-derived prostanoids (prostaglandins: PGD2, PGF2α; thromboxane: Txs, oxylipins) are involved in vasoconstriction, hypertension, reduction in CRH, pro-inflammation and cardiac toxicity. Interestingly, the interactions of adenosine receptors (A2AAR, A1AR) with CYP450-epoxygenases, ω-hydroxylases, sEH, and their derived metabolites or oxygenated polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs or oxylipins) is shown in the regulation of the cardiovascular functions. In addition, much evidence demonstrates polymorphisms in CYP450-epoxygenases, ω-hydroxylases, and sEH genes (Ephx2) and adenosine receptor genes (ADORA1 & ADORA2) in the human population with the susceptibility to CVDs, including hypertension. CVDs are the number one cause of death globally, coronary artery disease (CAD) was the leading cause of death in the US in 2019, and hypertension is one of the most potent causes of CVDs. This review summarizes the articles related to the crosstalk between adenosine receptors and CYP450-derived oxylipins in vascular, including the CRH response in regular salt-diet fed and high salt-diet fed mice with the correlation of heart perfusate/plasma oxylipins. By using A2AAR-/-, A1AR-/-, eNOS-/-, sEH-/- or Ephx2-/-, vascular sEH-overexpressed (Tie2-sEH Tr), vascular CYP2J2-overexpressed (Tie2-CYP2J2 Tr), and wild-type (WT) mice. This review article also summarizes the role of pro-and anti-inflammatory oxylipins in cardiovascular function/dysfunction in mice and humans. Therefore, more studies are needed better to understand the crosstalk between the adenosine receptors and eicosanoids to develop diagnostic and therapeutic tools by using plasma oxylipins profiles in CVDs, including hypertensive cases in the future.

Abstract
In patients with end-stage renal disease, kidney transplantation has been associated with numerous benefits, including increased daily activity, and better survival rates. However, over 20% of kidney transplants result in rejection within five years. Rejection is primarily due to a hypersensitive immune system and ischemia/reperfusion injury. Bilirubin has been shown to be a potent antioxidant that is capable of potentially reversing or preventing damage from reactive oxygen species generated from ischemia and reperfusion. Additionally, bilirubin has several immunomodulatory effects that can dampen the immune system to promote organ acceptance. Increased bilirubin has also been shown to have a positive impact on renal hemodynamics, which is critical post-transplantation. Lastly, bilirubin levels have been correlated with biomarkers of successful transplantation. In this review, we discuss a multitude of potentially beneficial effects that bilirubin has on kidney acceptance of transplantation based on numerous clinical trials and animal models. Exogenous bilirubin delivery or increasing endogenous levels pre- or post-transplantation may have therapeutic benefits.

Abstract
1-Aminobenzotriazole (1-ABT) is a pan-specific, mechanism-based inactivator of the xenobiotic metabolizing forms of cytochrome P450 in animals, plants, insects, and microorganisms. It has been widely used to investigate the biological roles of cytochrome P450 enzymes, their participation in the metabolism of both endobiotics and xenobiotics, and their contributions to the metabolism-dependent toxicity of drugs and chemicals. This review is a comprehensive evaluation of the chemistry, discovery, and use of 1-aminobenzotriazole in these contexts from its introduction in 1981 to the present.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450-mediated metabolism of arachidonic acid (AA) is an important pathway for the formation of eicosanoids. The ω-hydroxylation of AA generates significant levels of 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE) in various tissues. In the current review, we discussed the role of 20-HETE in the kidney, liver, lung, and brain during physiological and pathophysiological states. Moreover, we discussed the role of 20-HETE in tumor formation, metabolic syndrome and diabetes. In the kidney, 20-HETE is involved in modulation of preglomerular vascular tone and tubular ion transport. Furthermore, 20-HETE is involved in renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury and polycystic kidney diseases. The role of 20-HETE in the liver is not clearly understood although it represents 50%-75% of liver CYP-dependent AA metabolism, and it is associated with liver cirrhotic ascites. In the respiratory system, 20-HETE plays a role in pulmonary cell survival, pulmonary vascular tone and tone of the airways. As for the brain, 20-HETE is involved in cerebral I/R injury. Moreover, 20-HETE has angiogenic and mitogenic properties and thus helps in tumor promotion. Several inhibitors and inducers of the synthesis of 20-HETE as well as 20-HETE analogues and antagonists are recently available and could be promising therapeutic options for the treatment of many disease states in the future.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450s enzymes catalyze the metabolism of arachidonic acid to epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), dihydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid and hydroxyeicosatetraeonic acid (HETEs). 20-HETE is a vasoconstrictor that depolarizes vascular smooth muscle cells by blocking K+ channels. EETs serve as endothelial derived hyperpolarizing factors. Inhibition of the formation of 20-HETE impairs the myogenic response and autoregulation of renal and cerebral blood flow. Changes in the formation of EETs and 20-HETE have been reported in hypertension and drugs that target these pathways alter blood pressure in animal models. Sequence variants in CYP4A11 and CYP4F2 that produce 20-HETE, UDP-glucuronosyl transferase involved in the biotransformation of 20-HETE and soluble epoxide hydrolase that inactivates EETs are associated with hypertension in human studies. 20-HETE contributes to the regulation of vascular hypertrophy, restenosis, angiogenesis and inflammation. It also promotes endothelial dysfunction and contributes to cerebral vasospasm and ischemia-reperfusion injury in the brain, kidney and heart. This review will focus on the role of 20-HETE in vascular dysfunction, inflammation, ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke and cardiac and renal ischemia reperfusion injury.

Testosterone-dependent increase in blood pressure is mediated by elevated Cyp4A expression in fructose-fed rats. Mol Cell Biochem 2011; 359:409-18.

Abstract
Endothelial dysfunction and increased blood pressure following insulin resistance play an important role in the development of secondary cardiovascular complications. The presence of testosterone is essential for the development of endothelial dysfunction and increased blood pressure. Testosterone regulates the synthesis of vasoconstrictor eicosanoids such as 20-hydroxyeicosatetranoic acid (20-HETE). In a series of studies, we examined: (1) the role of the androgen receptor in elevating blood pressure and (2) the effects of Cyp4A-catalyzed 20-HETE synthesis on vascular reactivity and blood pressure in fructose-fed rats. In the first study, intact and castrated male rats were made insulin resistant by feeding fructose for 9 weeks following which their superior mesenteric arteries (SMA) were isolated and examined for changes in endothelium-dependent relaxation in the presence and absence of 1-aminobenzotriazole (ABT) and N-methylsulfonyl-12,12-dibromododec-11-enamide (DDMS), which are inhibitors of 20-HETE synthesis. In another study, male rats were treated with either ABT or the androgen receptor blocker, flutamide, following which changes in insulin sensitivity, blood pressure, and vascular Cyp4A expression were measured. In the final study, HET0016, which is a more selective inhibitor of 20-HETE synthesis, was used to confirm our earlier findings. Treatment with HET0016 or ABT prevented or ameliorated the increase in blood pressure. Gonadectomy or flutamide prevented the increase in both the Cyp4A and blood pressure. Furthermore, both ABT and DDMS improved relaxation only in the intact fructose-fed rats. Taken together our results suggest that in the presence of testosterone, the Cyp4A/20-HETE system plays a key role in elevating the blood pressure secondary to insulin resistance.

Abstract
20-Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE) production is increased in ischemic kidney tissue and may contribute to ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury by mediating vasoconstriction and inflammation. To test this hypothesis, uninephrectomized male Lewis rats were exposed to warm ischemia following pretreatment with either an inhibitor of 20-HETE synthesis (HET0016), an antagonist (20-hydroxyeicosa-6(Z),15(Z)-dienoic acid), an agonist (20-hydroxyeicosa-5(Z),14(Z)-dienoic acid), or vehicle via the renal artery and the kidneys were examined 2 days after reperfusion. Pretreatment with either the inhibitor or the antagonist attenuated I/R-induced renal dysfunction as shown by improved creatinine clearance and decreased plasma urea levels, compared to controls. The inhibitor and antagonist also markedly reduced tubular lesion scores, inflammatory cell infiltration, and tubular epithelial cell apoptosis. Administering the antagonist accelerated the recovery of medullary perfusion, as well as renal medullary and cortical re-oxygenation, during the early reperfusion phase. In contrast, the agonist did not improve renal injury and reversed the beneficial effect of the inhibitor. Thus, 20-HETE generation and its action mediated kidney injury due to I/R. Whether or not these effects are clinically important will need to be tested in appropriate human studies.

Abstract
The production of 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE) in the kidney is thought to be involved in the control of renal vascular tone and tubular sodium and chloride reabsorption. Cytochrome (Cyp) P-450 enzymes of the Cyp4a family in the mouse, namely 4a10, -12 and 14, are involved in 20-HETE synthesis. Recent advances in the molecular genetics of the mouse have produced mice in which Cyp4a isoforms have been disrupted and the consequence of such an approach is examined. This study evaluated the effect of deletion of the Cyp4a14 gene on blood pressure, renal vascular responses and tubular function. When compared with the wild-type (WT) litter mates, systolic blood pressure was greater in Cyp4a14 null (KO) mice as were renal vascular responses to angiotensin II or phenyephrine, G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) agonists, but not KCl, a non-GPCR agonist. Renal vascular responses to guanosine 5'-O-(gamma-thio)triphosphate, a non-hydrolyzable GTP analog, or NaF(4), an activator of G-proteins, were also enhanced. However, vasodilation to bradykinin or apocynin but not sodium nitroprusside was blunted in Cyp4a14 null (KO) kidneys. These changes in KO mice were accompanied by increased 20-HETE synthesis, reduced renal production of nitric oxide (NO), increased lipid hydroperoxides and increased apocynin-inhibitable vascular NADPH oxidase activity that was prevented by administration of NO synthase (NOS) inhibitor, suggesting endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) uncoupling. Cyp4a14 KO mice also exhibited a diminished capacity to excrete an acute sodium load (0.9% NaCl, 2.5 mL/kg). These data suggest that deletion of the Cyp4a gene conferred a prohypertensive status via mechanisms involving increased 20-HETE synthesis and eNOS uncoupling leading to increased oxidative stress, enhanced vasoconstriction but diminished vasodilation as well as a defect in the renal excretory capacity in Cyp4a14 KO mice. These mechanisms suggest that the Cyp4a14-deficient mouse may be a useful model for evaluation of NO/20-HETE interactions.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 (CYP)-dependent metabolites of arachidonic acid (AA), such as epoxyeicosatrienoic acids and 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid, serve as second messengers of various hormones and growth factors and play pivotal roles in the regulation of vascular, renal and cardiac function. As discussed in the present review, virtually all of the major AA metabolizing CYP isoforms accept a variety of other polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), including linoleic, eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acids (DHA), as efficient alternative substrates. The metabolites of these alternative PUFAs also elicit profound biological effects. The CYP enzymes respond to alterations in the chain-length and double bond structure of their substrates with remarkable changes in the regio- and stereoselectivity of product formation. The omega-3 double bond that distinguishes EPA and DHA from their omega-6 counterparts provides a preferred epoxidation site for CYP1A, CYP2C, CYP2J and CYP2E subfamily members. CYP4A enzymes that predominantly function as AA ω-hydroxylases show largely increased (ω-1)-hydroxylase activities towards EPA and DHA. Taken together, these findings indicate that CYP-dependent signaling pathways are highly susceptible to changes in the relative bioavailability of the different PUFAs and may provide novel insight into the complex mechanisms that link essential dietary fatty acids to the development of cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cyclosporine A (CsA)-induced chronic nephrotoxicity is characterized by renal dysfunction and interstitial fibrosis. Early and progressive renal macrophage influx, correlating with latter interstitial fibrotic areas, has been associated with CsA treatment. This study investigated the role of macrophages, the nitric oxide (NO) pathway, and the oxidative stress on chronic CsA nephrotoxicity. METHODS The macrophages were depleted by clodronate liposomes. Animals were distributed into four groups: vehicle (olive oil for 21 days), CsA 7.5 mg/kg per day (21 days), CsA plus clodronate (5 mg/mL intraperitoneally on days -4, 1, 4, 11, and 18 of CsA treatment), or vehicle plus clodronate. On day 22, glomerular filtration rate, renal blood flow, renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis, CsA blood levels, serum malondialdehyde and renal tissue immunohistochemistry for macrophages, inducible NO synthase, transforming growth factor-beta, nuclear factor-kbeta, alpha-smooth muscle actin, vimentin, and nitrotyrosine were assessed. RESULTS CsA-induced increase in the macrophage was prevented by clodronate. Macrophage depletion attenuated the reductions in the glomerular filtration rate and renal blood flow, the development of tubulointerstitial fibrosis, malondialdehyde increase and increases in nuclear factor-kbeta, transforming growth factor-beta, vimentin, inducible NO synthase, and nitrotyrosine expression provoked by CsA. Clodronate did not affect alpha-smooth muscle actin expression and CsA blood levels. CONCLUSIONS Renal macrophage influx plays an important role in CsA-induced chronic nephrotoxicity. The NO pathway and oxidative stress are likely mechanisms involved in the genesis of this form of renal injury.

Abstract
We hypothesize that A(2A) adenosine receptors (A(2A) AR) promote aortic relaxation in mice through cytochrome P450 (CYP)-epoxygenases and help to avoid salt sensitivity. Aortas from male mice maintained on a high-salt (HS; 7% NaCl) or normal-salt (NS; 0.45% NaCl) diet for 4-5 wks were used. Concentration-response curves (10(-11)-10(-5) M) for 5'-N-ethylcarboxamidoadenosine (NECA; a nonselective adenosine analog) and CGS 21680 (A(2A) AR agonist) were obtained with different antagonists including ZM 241385 (A(2A) AR antagonist; 10(-6) M), SCH 58261 (A(2A) AR antagonist; 10(-6) M), N(omega)-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (l-NAME; endothelial nitric oxide synthase inhibitor; 10(-4) M) and inhibitors including methylsulfonyl-propargyloxyphenylhexanamide (MS-PPOH; CYP epoxygenases inhibitor; 10(-5)M), 14,15-epoxyeicosa-5(z)-enoic acid (14,15-EEZE; EET antagonist; 10(-5)M), dibromo-dodecenyl-methylsulfimide (DDMS; CYP4A inhibitor; 10(-5)M), and HET0016 (20-HETE inhibitor; 10(-5)M). At 10(-7) M of NECA, significant relaxation in HS (+22.58 +/- 3.12%) was observed compared with contraction in NS (-10.62 +/- 6.27%, P < 0.05). ZM 241385 changed the NECA response to contraction (P < 0.05) in HS. At 10(-7) M of CGS 21680, significant relaxation in HS (+32.04 +/- 3.08%) was observed compared with NS (+10.45 +/- 1.34%, P < 0.05). SCH 58261, l-NAME, MS-PPOH, and 14,15-EEZE changed the CGS 21680-induced relaxation to contraction (P < 0.05) in HS. Interestingly, DDMS and HET0016 changed CGS 21680 response to relaxation (P < 0.05) in NS; however, there was no significant difference found between DDMS, HET0016-treated HS and NS vs. nontreated HS group (P > 0.05). CYP2C29 protein was 55% and 74% upregulated in HS vs. NS (P < 0.05) mice aorta and kidney, respectively. CYP4A protein was 30.30% and 35.70% upregulated in NS vs. HS (P < 0.05) mice aorta and kidneys, respectively. A(1) AR was downregulated, whereas A(2A) AR was upregulated in HS compared with NS. These data suggest that HS may activate CYP2C29 via A(2A) AR, causing relaxation, whereas NS may contribute to the upregulation of CYP4A causing contraction.

Abstract
We hypothesized that A2A adenosine receptor (A2A AR) activation causes vasorelaxation through cytochrome P-450 (CYP) epoxygenases and endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factors, whereas lack of A2A AR activation promotes vasoconstriction through Cyp4a in the mouse aorta. Adenosine 5'-N-ethylcarboxamide (NECA; 10(-6) M), an adenosine analog, caused relaxation in wild-type A2A AR (A2A AR+/+; +33.99 +/- 4.70%, P < 0.05) versus contraction in A2A AR knockout (A2A AR(-/-); -27.52 +/- 4.11%) mouse aortae. An A2A AR-specific antagonist (SCH-58261; 1 microM) changed the NECA (10(-6) M) relaxation response to contraction (-35.82 +/- 4.69%, P < 0.05) in A2A AR+/+ aortae, whereas no effect was noted in A2A AR(-/-) aortae. Significant contraction was seen in the absence of the endothelium in A2A AR+/+ (-2.58 +/- 2.25%) aortae compared with endothelium-intact aortae. An endothelial nitric oxide synthase inhibitor (N-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester; 100 microM) and a cyclooxygenase inhibitor (indomethacin; 10 microM) failed to block NECA-induced relaxation in A2A AR+/+ aortae. A selective inhibitor of CYP epoxygenases (methylsulfonyl-propargyloxyphenylhexanamide; 10 microM) changed NECA-mediated relaxation (-22.74 +/- 5.11% at 10(-6) M) and CGS-21680-mediated relaxation (-18.54 +/- 6.06% at 10(-6) M) to contraction in A2A AR+/+ aortae, whereas no response was noted in A2A AR(-/-) aortae. Furthermore, an epoxyeicosatrienoic acid (EET) antagonist [14,15-epoxyeicosa-5(Z)-enoic acid; 10 microM] was able to block NECA-induced relaxation in A2A AR+/+ aortae, whereas omega-hydroxylase inhibitors (10 microM dibromo-dodecenyl-methylsulfimide and 10 microM HET-0016) changed contraction into relaxation in A2A AR(-/-) aorta. Cyp2c29 protein was upregulated in A2A AR+/+ aortae, whereas Cyp4a was upregulated in A2A AR(-/-) aortae. Higher levels of dihydroxyeicosatrienoic acids (DHETs; 14,15-DHET, 11,12-DHET, and 8,9-DHET, P < 0.05) were found in A2A AR+/+ versus A2A AR(-/-) aortae. EET levels were not significantly different between A2A AR+/+ and A2A AR(-/-) aortae. It is concluded that CYP epoxygenases play an important role in A2A AR-mediated relaxation, and the deletion of the A2A AR leads to contraction through Cyp4a.
