Polyunsaturated fatty acids and fatty acid-derived lipid mediators: Recent advances in the understanding of their biosynthesis, structures, and functions. Prog Lipid Res 2022; 86:101165. [PMID: 35508275 PMCID: PMC9346631 DOI: 10.1016/j.plipres.2022.101165] [Citation(s) in RCA: 195] [Impact Index Per Article: 97.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2022] [Revised: 03/26/2022] [Accepted: 04/27/2022] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are structural components of membrane phospholipids, and influence cellular function via effects on membrane properties, and also by acting as a precursor pool for lipid mediators. These lipid mediators are formed via activation of pathways involving at least one step of dioxygen-dependent oxidation, and are consequently called oxylipins. Their biosynthesis can be either enzymatically-dependent, utilising the promiscuous cyclooxygenase, lipoxygenase, or cytochrome P450 mixed function oxidase pathways, or nonenzymatic via free radical-catalyzed pathways. The oxylipins include the classical eicosanoids, comprising prostaglandins, thromboxanes, and leukotrienes, and also more recently identified lipid mediators. With the advent of new technologies there is growing interest in identifying these different lipid mediators and characterising their roles in health and disease. This review brings together contributions from some of those at the forefront of research into lipid mediators, who provide brief introductions and summaries of current understanding of the structure and functions of the main classes of nonclassical oxylipins. The topics covered include omega-3 and omega-6 PUFA biosynthesis pathways, focusing on the roles of the different fatty acid desaturase enzymes, oxidized linoleic acid metabolites, omega-3 PUFA-derived specialized pro-resolving mediators, elovanoids, nonenzymatically oxidized PUFAs, and fatty acid esters of hydroxy fatty acids.

An ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry method for oxidative stress biomarker analysis in wastewater. Anal Bioanal Chem 2019; 411:2261-2271. [PMID: 30796487 PMCID: PMC6459808 DOI: 10.1007/s00216-019-01667-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2018] [Revised: 01/22/2019] [Accepted: 02/04/2019] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
Reported herein is the development of an analytical method for the detection of four oxidative stress biomarkers in wastewater using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) and solid phase extraction (SPE). The following four biomarkers of oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation have been investigated: hydroxynonenal-mercapturic acid (HNE-MA), 8-iso-prostglandin F2beta (8-iso-PGF2β), 8-nitroguanine (8-NO2Gua) and 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG). The method showed very good performance: accuracy (> 87%), precision (> 90%), method quantification limits (1.3-3.0 ng L-1) and biomarker stability in wastewater in the case of HNE-MA, 8-OHdG and 8-iso-PGF2β. In contrast, 8-NO2Gua was found to be less stable in wastewater, which affected its method performance: accuracy (> 63%), precision (> 91%) and method quantification limits (85.3 ng L-1). Application of the developed method resulted in, for the first time, HNE-MA being successfully observed and quantified within wastewater over a study period of a week (displayed average daily loads per capita of 48.9 ± 4.1 mg/1000/people/day). 8-iso-PGF2β was detected with good intensity but could not be quantified due to co-elution with other isomers. 8-OHdG was detected, albeit at < MQL. This study demonstrates the potential for expanding on the possible endogenous biomarkers of health used in urban water fingerprinting to aid in measuring health in near-real time on a community-wide scale.

Abstract
ω3 Polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω3 PUFAs) have several biological properties including anti-arrhythmic effects. However, there are some evidences that it is not solely ω3 PUFAs per se that are biologically active but the non-enzymatic oxygenated metabolites of polyunsaturated fatty acids (NEO-PUFAs) like isoprostanes and neuroprostanes. Recent question arises how these molecules take part in physiological homeostasis, show biological bioactivities and anti-inflammatory properties. Furthermore, they are involved in the circulations of childbirth, by inducing the closure of the ductus arteriosus. In addition, oxidative stress which can be beneficial for the heart in given environmental conditions such as the presence of ω3 PUFAs on the site of the stress and the signaling pathways involved are also explained in this review.

Abstract
Preeclampsia is a pregnancy disorder characterized by hypertension and proteinuria. This disorder involves oxidative stress and changes in endothelial homeostasis. This study was aimed to seek whether an ethanolic extract of Punica granatum fruit inhibits 8-iso-PGFα formation and modulates nitric oxide (NO) in endothelial cells induced by plasma from pre-eclamptic patients. Endothelial cells were cultured from human umbilical vein endothelial cells. At confluence, endothelial cells were divided into five groups, which included endothelial cells exposed to 2% plasma from normal pregnancy (NP), endothelial cells exposed to 2% plasma from pre-eclamptic patients (PP), endothelial cells exposed to PP in the presence of ethanolic extract of P. granatum (PP + PG) at the following three doses: 14; 28; and 56 ppm. Analysis of 8-iso-PGFα was done by immunoassay technique. Analysis of NO level was done by colorimetric technique. Plasma from PP significantly increased 8-iso-PGFα level compared to cells treated by normal pregnancy plasma. This increase in 8-iso-PGFα was significantly (p < 0.05) attenuated by all doses treatments of P. granatum extract. The level of NO was insignificant (p > 0.05) between groups. P. granatum fruit extract protects endothelial cells from oxidative stress induced by plasma from pre-eclamptic patients. Endothelial cells induce by preeclamptic plasma. 8-iso-PGFα level significantly increased. NO level insignificantly changed. All doses of Theobroma cacao attenuated this 8-iso-PGFα increase.

Abstract
Isoprostanes are useful biomarkers of human and animal health, being representative of oxidative stress processes, and having biological impacts associated with toxicity and disease. Isoprostanes are also chemically stable, a property facilitating population-level health assessments through wastewater sampling. However, as biologically-active entities, the presence of isoprostanes in domestic effluents could have toxic impacts on biota in receiving environments. As such it is proposed that isoprostanes are emerging organic contaminants of particular concern. Fish and aquatic invertebrates may be affected by the presence of isoprostanes in wastewaters through mechanisms such as reproductive impairment, cardiovascular disturbance and/or oxidative stress. This would represent a unique scenario of "contagious" toxicity, whereby human health has a direct toxicological consequence on aquatic animal health.

Abstract
AIM The starting fraction of inspired oxygen for preterm resuscitation is a matter of debate, and the use of room air in full-term asphyxiated infants reduces oxidative stress. This study compared oxidative stress in preterm infants randomised for resuscitation with either 100% oxygen or room air titrated to internationally recommended levels of preductal oxygen saturations. METHODS Blood was collected at birth, two and 12 hours of age from 119 infants <32 weeks of gestation randomised to resuscitation with either 100% oxygen (n = 60) or room air (n = 59). Oxidative stress markers, including advanced oxidative protein products (AOPP) and isoprostanes (IsoP), were measured with high-performance liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. RESULTS Significantly higher levels of AOPP were found at 12 hours in the 100% oxygen group (p < 0.05). Increases between two- and 12-hour AOPP (p = 0.004) and IsoP (p = 0.032) concentrations were significantly higher in the 100% oxygen group. CONCLUSION Initial resuscitation with room air versus 100% oxygen was associated with lower protein oxidation at 12 hour and a lower magnitude of increase in AOPP and IsoP levels between two and 12 hours of life. Correlations with clinical outcomes will be vital to optimise the use of oxygen in preterm resuscitation.

Abstract
Isoprostanes (IsoPs) are prostaglandin-like molecules generated independent of the cyclooxygenase (COX) by the free radical-induced peroxidation of arachidonic acid. The first isoprostane species discovered were isomeric to prostaglandin F2α and were thus termed F2-IsoPs. Since the initial discovery of the F2-IsoPs, IsoPs with differing ring structures have been identified as well as IsoPs from different polyunsaturated fatty acids, including eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexanenoic acid. The discovery of these molecules in vivo in humans has been a major contribution to the field of lipid oxidation and free radical research over the course of the past 25 years. These molecules have been determined to be both biomarkers and mediators of oxidative stress in numerous disease settings. This review focuses on recent developments in the field with an emphasis on clinical research. Special focus is given to the use of IsoPs as biomarkers in obesity, ischemia-reperfusion injury, the central nervous system, cancer, and genetic disorders. Additionally, attention is paid to diet and lifestyle factors that can affect endogenous levels of IsoPs. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled "Oxygenated metabolism of PUFA: analysis and biological relevance."

Urinary biomarkers of oxidative and nitrosative stress and the risk for incident stroke: a nested case-control study from a community-based cohort. Int J Cardiol 2015; 183:214-20.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oxidative and nitrosative stress has suggested to be involved in the pathophysiology of cardiovascular diseases, but has unclear relationship with the risk for incident stroke. METHODS In this nested case-control study, cases consisted of 131 participants who were free of stroke at screening and experienced incident stroke during the follow-up period. Controls were 1:1 frequency-matched for age and sex. Baseline levels of urinary creatinine-indexed biomarkers were measured using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, including 8-iso-prostaglandin F₂α (8-iso-PGF₂α), 4-hydroxynonenal conjugate with mercapturic acid, 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine and 8-nitroguanine. RESULTS The levels of urinary 8-iso-PGF₂α in stroke cases were higher than in controls [median (interquartile range), 1.13 (2.23-4.36) μg/g creatinine versus 0.71 (1.34-3.02) μg/g creatinine, p=0.004]. After adjusting cardiovascular risk factors, the association remained that higher level of urinary 8-iso-PGF₂α entailed the greater risk for incident stroke [per 1 standard deviation increase in log-transformed value, adjusted odds ratio, 1.40; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.06-1.85; p=0.005] with a significant increasing trend across its quartiles (p for trend=0.016). After adding urinary 8-iso-PGF₂α, the prediction model not only improved discrimination between participants with or without incident stroke (integrated discrimination improvement, 0.025; 95% CI, 0.006-0.045; p=0.005), but enhanced stroke risk stratification (net reclassification improvement, 19.8%; 95% CI, 4.6-35.1%; p=0.011). In contrast, the relationships were non-significant among the other three biomarkers. CONCLUSIONS Our findings demonstrated that urinary 8-iso-PGF₂α could be an independent biomarker of oxidative stress for prediction of the risk for incident stroke.

Abstract
Isoprostanes are free radical-catalysed PG-like products of unsaturated fatty acids, such as arachidonic acid, which are widely recognized as reliable markers of systemic lipid peroxidation and oxidative stress in vivo. Moreover, activation of enzymes, such as COX-2, may contribute to isoprostane formation. Indeed, formation of isoprostanes is considerably increased in various diseases which have been linked to oxidative stress, such as cardiovascular disease (CVD), and may predict the atherosclerotic burden and the risk of cardiovascular complications in the latter patients. In addition, several isoprostanes may directly contribute to the functional consequences of oxidant stress via activation of the TxA2 prostanoid receptor (TP), for example, by affecting endothelial cell function and regeneration, vascular tone, haemostasis and ischaemia/reperfusion injury. In this context, experimental and clinical data suggest that selected isoprostanes may represent important alternative activators of the TP receptor when endogenous TxA2 levels are low, for example, in aspirin-treated individuals with CVD. In this review, we will summarize the current understanding of isoprostane formation, biochemistry and (patho) physiology in the cardiovascular context.

Abstract
Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) improves the long-term success rate of smoking cessation, but induces oxidative stress and inflammatory responses that may delay the restoration of vascular endothelial function (VEF). No studies have examined co-therapy of NRT-assisted smoking abstinence with γ-tocopherol (γ-T), a vitamin E form with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities, on improvements in VEF. In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, healthy smokers (25 ± 1 y old; mean ± SEM) received NRT and abstained from smoking for 24 h with placebo (n = 12) or oral administration of γ-T-rich mixture of tocopherols (γ-TmT; n = 11) that provided 500 mg γ-T. Brachial artery flow-mediated dilation (FMD), and biomarkers of nitric oxide metabolism, antioxidant status, inflammation, and lipid peroxidation [8-iso-prostaglandin F2α stereoisomers (8-iso-15(R)-PGF2α and 8-iso-15(S)-PGF2α)] were measured prior to and after 24 h of smoking abstinence. Smoking abstinence with NRT regardless of γ-TmT similarly decreased urinary naphthol (P < 0.05) without affecting plasma cotinine. γ-TmT increased plasma γ-T by 4-times and the urinary metabolite of γ-T, γ-carboxyethyl-chromanol, by three times. Smoking abstinence with γ-TmT, but not smoking abstinence alone, increased FMD without affecting plasma nitrate/nitrite or the ratio of asymmetric dimethylarginine/arginine. Urinary 8-iso-15(S)-PGF2α decreased only in those receiving γ-TmT and was inversely correlated to FMD (R = -0.43, P < 0.05). Circulating markers of inflammation were unaffected by smoking abstinence or γ-TmT. Short-term NRT-assisted smoking abstinence with γ-TmT, but not NRT-assisted smoking abstinence alone, improved VEF by decreasing 8-iso-15(S)-PGF2α, a vasoconstrictor that was otherwise unaffected by NRT-assisted smoking abstinence.

Abstract
Despite the long held hypothesis that oxidant stress results in accumulated oxidative damage to cellular macromolecules and subsequently to aging and age-related chronic disease, it has been difficult to consistently define and specifically identify markers of oxidant stress that are consistently and directly linked to age and disease status. Inflammation because it is also linked to oxidant stress, aging, and chronic disease also plays an important role in understanding the clinical implications of oxidant stress and relevant markers. Much attention has focused on identifying specific markers of oxidative stress and inflammation that could be measured in easily accessible tissues and fluids (lymphocytes, plasma, serum). The purpose of this review is to discuss markers of oxidant stress used in the field as biomarkers of aging and age-related diseases, highlighting differences observed by race when data is available. We highlight DNA, RNA, protein, and lipid oxidation as measures of oxidative stress, as well as other well-characterized markers of oxidative damage and inflammation and discuss their strengths and limitations. We present the current state of the literature reporting use of these markers in studies of human cohorts in relation to age and age-related disease and also with a special emphasis on differences observed by race when relevant.

Abstract
To estimate the oxidative stress in patients with prostate cancer and in a control group, we used the biomarker of lipid peroxidation-isoprostanes (8-isoPGF(2)) and the level of selected antioxidants (glucose and uric acid [UA]). The level of urinary isoprostanes was determined in patients and controls using an immunoassay kit according to the manufacturer's instruction. The levels of UA and glucose were also determined in serum by the use of UA Assay Kit and Glucose Assay Kit. We observed a statistically increased the level of isoprostanes in urine of patients with prostate cancer in compared with a control group. The concentration of tested antioxidants in blood from patients with prostate cancer was also higher than in healthy subjects. Moreover, our experiments indicate that the correlation between the increased amount of UA and the lipid peroxidation exists in prostate cancer patients (in all tested groups). Prostate cancer risk by urinary isoprostanes level was analyzed, and a positive association was found (relative risk for highest vs. lowest quartile of urinary isoprostanes = 1.6; 95 % confidence interval 1.2-2.4; p for trend = 0.03). We suggest that reactive oxygen species induce peroxidation of unsaturated fatty acid in patients with prostate cancer, and the level of isoprostanes may be used as a non-invasive marker for determination of oxidative stress. We also propose that UA may enhance the oxidative stress in patients with prostate cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Increased oxygen tension at birth regulates physiologic events that are essential to postnatal survival, but the accompanying oxidative stress may also generate isoprostanes. We hypothesized that isoprostanes regulate ductus arteriosus (DA) function during postnatal vascular transition. METHODS Isoprostanes were measured by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. DA tone was assessed by pressure myography. Gene expression was measured by quantitative PCR. RESULTS Oxygen exposure was associated with increased 8-iso-prostaglandin (PG)F2α in newborn mouse lungs. Both 8-iso-PGE2 and 8-iso-PGF2α induced concentration-dependent constriction of the isolated term DA, which was reversed by the thromboxane A2 (TxA2) receptor antagonist SQ29548. SQ29548 pretreatment unmasked an isoprostane-induced DA dilation mediated by the EP4 PG receptor. Exposure of the preterm DA to 8-iso-PGE2 caused unexpected DA relaxation that was reversed by EP4 antagonism. In contrast, exposure to 8-iso-PGF2α caused preterm DA constriction via TxA2 receptor activation. Further investigation revealed the predominance of the TxA2 receptor at term, whereas the EP4 receptor was expressed and functionally active from mid-gestation onward. CONCLUSION This study identifies a novel physiological role for isoprostanes during postnatal vascular transition and provide evidence that oxidative stress may act on membrane lipids to produce vasoactive mediators that stimulate physiological DA closure at birth or induce pathological patency of the preterm DA.

Abstract
Oxidative stress and endothelial dysfunction have been associated with essential hypertension (EH) mechanisms. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of carvedilol and nebivolol on the oxidative stress-related parameters and endothelial function in patients with EH. The studied population included 57 patients, either sex, between 30 and 75 years of age, with mild-to-moderate EH complications. Participants were randomized to receive either carvedilol (12.5 mg) (n = 23) or nebivolol (5 mg) (n = 21) for 12 weeks. Measurements included; 24-hr ambulatory blood pressure (BP), flow-mediated dilatation, levels of nitric oxide estimated as nitrite - a nitric oxide metabolite ( NO₂) - in plasma, and oxidative stress-related parameters in plasma and erythrocyte. EH patients who were treated with nebivolol or carvedilol showed systolic BP reductions of 17.4 and 19.9 mmHg, respectively, compared with baseline values (p < 0.01). Diastolic BP was reduced by 13.7 and 12.8 mmHg after the treatment with ebivolol and carvedilol, respectively (p < 0.01) (fig. 2B). Nebivolol and carvedilol showed 7.3% and 8.1% higher endothelium-dependent dilatation in relation to baseline values (p < 0.05). Ferric-reducing ability of plasma (FRAP) and reduced glutathione/oxidized glutathione (GSSH) ratio showed 31.5% and 29.6% higher levels in the carvedilol group compared with basal values; however, nebivolol-treated patients did not show significant differences after treatment. On the other hand, the NO₂ plasma concentration was not modified by the administration of carvedilol. However, nebivolol enhanced these levels in 62.1% after the treatment. In conclusion, this study demonstrated the antihypertensive effect of both beta-blockers. However, carvedilol could mediate these effects by an increase in antioxidant capacity and nebivolol through the raise in NO₂ concentration. Further studies are needed to determine the molecular mechanism of these effects.

Abstract
Timely assessment of the aggregate health of small-area human populations is essential for guiding the optimal investment of resources needed for preventing, avoiding, controlling, or mitigating exposure risks. Seeking those interventions yielding the greatest benefit with respect to allocation of resources is essential for making progress toward community sustainability, promoting social justice, and maintaining or improving health and well-being. More efficient approaches are needed for revealing cause-effect linkages between environmental stressors and human health and for measuring overall aggregate health of small-area populations. A new concept is presented--community health assessment via Sewage Chemical Information Mining (SCIM)--for quickly gauging overall, aggregate health status or trends for entire small-area populations. The approach--BioSCIM--would monitor raw sewage for specific biomarkers broadly associated with human disease, stress, or health. A wealth of untapped chemical information resides in raw sewage, a portion comprising human biomarkers of exposure and effects. BioSCIM holds potential for capitalizing on the presence of biomarkers in sewage for accomplishing any number of objectives. One of the many potential applications of BioSCIM could use various biomarkers of stress resulting from the collective excretion from all individuals in a local population. A prototype example is presented using a class of biomarkers that measures collective, systemic oxidative stress--the isoprostanes (prostaglandin-like free-radical catalyzed oxidation products from certain polyunsaturated fatty acids). Sampling and analysis of raw sewage hold great potential for quickly determining aggregate biomarker levels for entire communities. Presented are the basic principles of BioSCIM, together with its anticipated limitations, challenges, and potential applications in assessing community-wide health. Community health assessment via BioSCIM could allow rapid assessments and intercomparisons of health status among distinct populations, revealing hidden or emerging trends or disparities and aiding in evaluating correlations (or hypotheses) between stressor exposures and disease.

Abstract
In decerebrate rats, we reported previously that the exercise pressor reflex arising from a limb whose femoral artery was occluded for 72 h before the experiment was significantly higher than the exercise pressor reflex arising from a contralateral freely perfused limb. These findings prompted us to examine whether reactive oxygen species contributed to the augmented pressor reflex in rats with femoral artery occlusion. We found that the pressor reflex arising from the limb whose femoral artery was occluded for 72 h before the experiment (31 ± 5 mmHg) was attenuated by tempol (10 mg), a superoxide dismutase (SOD) mimetic (18 ± 5 mmHg, n = 9, P < 0.05), that was injected into the arterial supply of the hindlimb. In contrast, the pressor reflex arising from a freely perfused hindlimb (20 ± 3 mmHg) was not attenuated by tempol (17 ± 4 mmHg, n = 10, P = 0.49). Nevertheless, we found no difference in the increase in 8-isoprostaglandin F(2α) levels, an index of reactive oxygen species, in response to contraction between freely perfused (3.76 ± 0.82 pg/ml, n = 19) and 72-h occluded (3.51 ± 0.92 pg/ml, n = 22, P = 0.90) hindlimbs. Moreover, tempol did not reduce the 8-isoprostaglandin F(2α) levels during contraction in either group (P > 0.30). A second SOD mimetic, tiron (200 mg/kg), had no effect on the exercise pressor reflex in either the rats with freely perfused hindlimbs or in those with occluded femoral arteries. These findings suggest that tempol attenuated the exercise pressor reflex in the femoral artery-occluded hindlimb by a mechanism that was independent of its ability to scavenge reactive oxygen species.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to further examine potential biomarkers of cognitive aging by looking at the associations among oxidative stress, cognitive abilities, and medication adherence in a community-based sample of middle-aged and older adults (n = 42; mean age = 69 years) prescribed at least one medication for hypertension. In addition to measures described in Part I, "Biomarkers for Cognitive Aging," a 12-hr urine collection for F(2)-isoprostanes served as an indicator of oxidative stress. Participants completed a battery of cognitive assessments and 8 weeks of electronic medication monitoring for adherence to one antihypertensive agent. Oxidative stress was significantly associated with logical memory, immediate (r = -.38, p < .01) and delayed recall (r = -.42, p < .01), and recognition memory (r = -.42, p < .01) from the Wechsler Memory Scale III, number of perseveration errors (r = .26, p < .05) and categories achieved (r = -.26, p < .01) on the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WSCT), and medication adherence (r = -.34, p <.05). Findings indicate that a biomarker of oxidative stress, F(2)-isoprostanes corrected for vitamin E, is significantly associated with cognitive measures and a functional outcome.

Abstract
Isoprostanes are prostaglandin (PG)-like compounds generated in vivo following oxidative stress by non-enzymatic peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids, including arachidonic acid. They are named based on their prostane ring structure and by the localization of hydroxyl groups on the carbon side chain; these structural differences result in a broad array of isoprostane molecules with varying biological properties. Generation of specific isoprostanes is also regulated by host cell redox conditions; reducing conditions favor F₂-isoprostane production while under conditions with deficient antioxidant capacity, D₂- and E₂-isoprostanes are formed. F₂-isoprostanes (F₂-isoP) are considered reliable markers of oxidative stress in pulmonary diseases including asthma. Importantly, F₂-isoP and other isoprostanes function as ligands for PG receptors, and potentially other receptors that have not yet been identified. They have been reported to have important biological properties in many organs. In the lung, isoprostanes regulate cellular processes affecting airway smooth muscle tone, neural secretion, epithelial ion flux, endothelial cell adhesion and permeability, and macrophage adhesion and function. In this review, we will summarize the evidence that F₂-isoP functions as a marker of oxidative stress in asthma, and that F₂-isoP and other isoprostanes exert biological effects that contribute to the pathogenesis of asthma. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled Biochemistry of Asthma.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to determine whether systemic inflammatory and oxidative stress marker concentrations correlate with pericardial and intrathoracic fat volumes. Participants of the Framingham Offspring Study (n = 1,175, 53% women, mean age 59 +/- 9 years) had pericardial and intrathoracic fat volumes assessed by multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) scans, and provided fasting blood and urine samples to measure concentrations of 14 inflammatory markers: C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), CD40 ligand, fibrinogen, intracellular adhesion molecule-1, lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A(2) activity and mass, myeloperoxidase, osteoprotegerin, P-selectin, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, tumor necrosis factor receptor-2, and urinary isoprostanes. Multivariable linear regression models were used to determine the association of log-transformed inflammatory marker concentrations with fat volumes, using fat volume as the dependent variable. Due to smaller sample sizes, models were rerun after adding urinary isoprostanes (n = 961) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (n = 813) to the marker panel. Upon backward elimination, four of the biomarkers correlated positively with each fat depot: CRP (P < 0.0001 for each fat depot), interleukin-6 (P < 0.05 for each fat depot), MCP-1 (P < 0.01 for each fat depot), and urinary isoprostanes (P < 0.01 for pericardial fat; P < 0.001 for intrathoracic fat). Even after adjusting for BMI, waist circumference (WC), and abdominal visceral fat, CRP (P = 0.0001) and urinary isoprostanes (P = 0.02) demonstrated significant positive associations with intrathoracic fat, but not with pericardial fat. Multiple markers of inflammation and oxidative stress correlated with pericardial and intrathoracic fat volumes, extending the known association between regional adiposity and inflammation and oxidative stress.

Abstract
The eicosanoids are a large family of arachidonic acid oxidation products that contain 20 carbon atoms. Cyclooxygenase (COX)-derived eicosanoids have important roles as autacoids involved in the regulation of cardiovascular function and tumor progression. Lipoxygenase (LO)-derived eicosanoids have been implicated as important mediators of inflammation, asthma, cardiovascular disease and cancer. Cytochrome P-450 (P450)-derived eicosanoids are both vasodilators and vasoconstrictors. There is intense interest in the analysis of reactive oxygen species (ROS)-derived isoprostanes (isoPs) because of their utility as biomarkers of oxidative stress. Enzymatic pathways of eicosanoid formation are regioselective and enantioselective, whereas ROS-mediated eicosanoid formation proceeds with no stereoselectivity. Many of the eicosanoids are also present in only pM concentrations in biological fluids. This presents a formidable analytical challenge because methodology is required that can separate enantiomers and diastereomers with high sensitivity and specificity. However, the discovery of atmospheric pressure ionization (API)/MS methodology of electrospray ionization (ESI), atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI), and electron capture (EC) APCI has revolutionized our ability to analyze endogenous eicosanoids. LC separations of eicosanoids can now be readily coupled with API ionization, collision induced dissociation (CID) and tandem MS (MS/MS). This makes it possible to efficiently conduct targeted eicosanoid analyses using LC-multiple reaction motoring (MRM)/MS. Several examples of targeted eicosanoid lipid analysis using conventional LC-ESI/MS have been discussed and some new data on the analysis of eicosanoids using chiral LC-ECAPCI/MS has been presented.

RATIONALE Vascular tissues produce carbon monoxide (CO) via HO-dependent and HO-independent mechanisms; the former in tandem with biliverdin and iron and the latter as a lone product. CO has been shown to function as both a vasoconstrictor and vasodilator; however, factors that dictate the vasoregulatory phenotype of this gas are unknown. OBJECTIVE We investigated whether CO-mediated vasoconstriction is mechanistically linked to enhanced reactive oxygen species production that masks vasodilatory pathways. METHODS AND RESULTS Sprague-Dawley rat interlobar and interlobular arteries were examined in terms of superoxide (O2*-) generation and vascular reactivity in the absence and presence of antioxidants. Both authentic CO and the CO-releasing molecule (CORM)-3 constricted renal arteries and increased O2*- production in a dose-dependent manner. The antioxidants tempol, ebselen, and deferoxamine inhibited CO-induced O2*- production and converted CO from constrictor to dilator. CO-induced O2*- generation was found to involve the activity of multiple oxidases including nitric oxide synthase, NADPH oxidase, xanthine oxidase, and complex IV of the mitochondrial electron chain. Furthermore, inhibition of these enzymes converted CO from constrictor to dilator. Similarly, biliverdin and bilirubin inhibited CO-induced O2*- production and vasoconstriction, allowing for a vasodilatory response to CO to be expressed. CO-induced vasoconstriction was dependent on a non-thromboxane agonist of the thromboxane receptor, whereas vasodilatory mechanisms of CO relied on the activation of soluble guanylate cyclase and calcium-gated potassium channels. CONCLUSIONS CO-induced vasoconstriction involves the generation of reactive oxygen species, which, when negated, allows for the expression of vasodilatory pathways which are masked by the primary oxidative stress response to this gas.

Abstract
We have developed a targeted lipidomics approach that makes it possible to directly analyze chiral eicosanoid lipids generated in cellular systems. The eicosanoids, including prostaglandins (PGs), thromboxanes (TXs), leukotrienes (LTs) and alcohols (HETEs), have been implicated as potent lipid mediators of various biological processes. Enzymatic formations of eicosanoids are regioselective and enantioselective, whereas reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated formation proceeds with no stereoselectivity. To distinguish between enzymatic and non-enzymatic pathways of eicosanoid formation, it is necessary to resolve enantiomeric forms as well as regioisomers. High sensitivity is also required to analyze the eicosanoid lipids that are usually present as trace amounts (pM level) in biological fluids. A discovery of liquid chromatography-electron capture atmospheric pressure chemical ionization/mass spectrometry (LCECAPCI/MS) allows us to couple normal phase chiral chromatography without loss of sensitivity. Analytical specificity was obtained by the use of collision-induced dissociation (CID) and tandem MS (MS/MS). With combination of stable isotope dilution methodology, complex mixtures of regioisomeric and enantiomeric eicosanoids have been resolved and quantified in biological samples with high sensitivity and specificity. Targeted chiral lipidomics profiles of bioactive eicosanoid lipids obtained from various cell systems and their biological implications have been discussed.

Abstract
Human epidemiological studies have indicated that low birth weight associated with an adverse intrauterine environment is related to a greater incidence of cardiovascular disorders in later life. In the foetus, endogenous glucocorticoids generally increase if there is intrauterine nutrient deficiency. The consequent glucocorticoid hyperexposure has been hypothesised to cause in utero programming of atherogenic genes. We investigated the effect of oral treatment with the synthetic glucocorticoid dexamethasone during early or late pregnancy in marmoset monkeys on oxidative and antioxidant status in the offspring. Urinary concentrations of F(2)-isoprostanes were quantified as markers for in vivo oxidative stress. Expression of the mRNAs for the antioxidant enzymes cytosolic glutathione peroxidase (GPx-1), phospholipid hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase (GPx-4), cytosolic Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase (SOD1), mitochondrial Mn-superoxide dismutase (SOD2), glutathione reductase (GSR), modifier subunit of glutamate-cysteine ligase (GCLM) and catalase were determined in the aorta. Three groups of pregnant marmosets (10 animals per group) were treated orally for one week with vehicle, or with dexamethasone (5 mg/kg daily) during two gestation windows: early dexamethasone group, pregnancy day 42-48, and late dexamethasone group, pregnancy day 90-96. In one male sibling of each litter (10 males per group), aortas were taken at 2 years of age. In the late dexamethasone group a higher aortic mRNA expression for GPx-1 (p < 0.023), MnSOD (p < 0.016), GCLM (p < 0.019) and GSR (p < 0.014) in comparison to the controls was observed. Aortic expression in the early dexamethasone group was statistically significantly higher only for GSR mRNA (p < 0.038). No significant changes in urinary F(2)-isoprostane concentrations between controls, early and late dexamethasone groups at 2 years of age were observed. Hence, prenatal exposure to dexamethasone in the third trimester leads to increased mRNA expression of several aortic antioxidant enzymes in the offspring. This expression pattern was not temporally related to oxidative stress, and it may reflect in utero re-programming of aortic antioxidant gene expression during prenatal glucocorticoid exposure.

Abstract
We report a simple and highly stereocontrolled strategy toward the total synthesis of isoprostanes based on a bicyclic alpha,beta-epoxy ketone intermediate 6. Bicyclo[3.3.0]octene scaffold permitted stereodirection of reagents allowing stereoselective epoxidation, diastereoselective ketone reduction, and regioselective epoxide opening otherwise not accessible with a simple cyclopentene framework.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE F2alpha-isoprostanes are considered the most reliable index of in vivo oxidative stress. Given the implication of oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, we investigated the effects of hormone therapy on the plasma levels of F2alpha-isoprostanes. DESIGN Sixty-one healthy postmenopausal women were treated in a randomized trial with estradiol either orally (2 mg/day, 28 women) or transdermally (50 mug/day, 33 women) for 4 weeks. Then women in each group were randomly assigned to oral progestogen, either micronized progesterone (300 mg/day) or medroxyprogesterone acetate (5 mg/day) for 2 additional weeks. Plasma samples were collected before and at the end of each treatment period, either estradiol alone or estradiol plus progestogen. F2alpha-isoprostanes were measured by a commercial enzyme immunoassay. RESULTS A significant reduction in the levels of F2alpha-isoprostanes was detected only in women receiving transdermal estradiol, alone or in combination with medroxyprogesterone acetate. CONCLUSIONS Transdermal estradiol alone or associated with medroxyprogesterone acetate decreased plasma levels of F2alpha-isoprostanes. These data elucidate additional details of the beneficial effect of estradiol on oxidative stress, a relevant mechanism in atherogenesis.

Abstract
Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are important constituents in all organisms. They fulfil many functions, ranging from modulating the structure of membranes to acting as precursors of physiologically important molecules, such as the prostaglandins, which for a long time were the most prominent cyclic PUFA metabolites. However, since the beginning of the 1990s a large variety of cyclic metabolites have been discovered that form under autoxidative conditions in vivo to a much larger extent than do prostaglandins. These compounds--isoprostanes, neuroprostanes, phytoprostanes, and isofurans--proved subsequently to be ubiquitous in nature. They display a wide range of biological activities, and isoprostanes have become the currently most reliable indicators of oxidative stress in humans. In a relatively short time, the structural variety, properties, and applications of the autoxidatively formed cyclic PUFA derivatives have been uncovered.

Abstract
Historically, the vasodilatory prostanoids, especially prostacyclin and prostaglandin E(2), are believed to contribute significantly to the regulation of normal vascular tone and blood pressure (BP), primarily by counteracting the prevailing effects of the systemic vasoconstrictor systems, including angiotensin II, the catecholamines, and vasopressin. In contrast, the primary vasoconstrictor prostanoid thromboxane A(2) (TxA(2)) is produced in far smaller quantities in the normal state. While TxA(2) is believed to play a significant role in a variety of cardiovascular diseases, such as myocardial infarction, cerebral vasospasm, hypertension, preeclampsia, and various thrombotic disorders, its role in the regulation of vascular tone and BP in the normal physiological state is, at best, uncertain. Numerous studies have firmly established the dogma that TxA(2), while important in pathophysiological states in males, plays little or no role in the regulation of vascular tone or BP in females, except in the pulmonary vasculature. However, this concept is largely based on the predominant and preferential use of males in animal and human studies. Recent studies from our laboratory and others challenge this dogma and reveal that the TxA(2) pathway in the systemic vascular wall is an estrogen-dependent mechanism that appears to play an important role in the regulation of vascular tone and BP in females, in both normal and pathophysiological states. It is proposed that the potent vasoconstrictor action of TxA(2) is beneficial in the female in the normal state by acting as a local counterregulatory mechanism to increase vascular tone and BP and defend against hypotension that could result from the multiple estrogen-sensitive local vasodilator mechanisms present in the female vascular wall. Validation of this proposal must await further studies at the systemic, tissue, and molecular levels.
