Effect of human 15-lipoxygenase-1 metabolites on vascular function in mouse mesenteric arteries and hearts

Abstract: Lipoxygenases regulate vascular function by metabolizing arachidonic acid (AA) to dilator eicosanoids. Previously, we showed that endothelium-targeted adenoviral vector-mediated gene transfer of the human 15-lipoxygenase-1 (h15-LO-1) enhances arterial relaxation through the production of vasodilatory hydroxyepoxyeicosatrienoic acid (HEETA) and trihydroxyeicosatrienoic acid (THETA) metabolites. To further define this function, a transgenic (Tg) mouse line that overexpresses h15-LO-1 was studied. Western blot, i… Show more

“…It is important to note that the basal coronary flow we recorded in WT hearts (~1.7 mL/min) was lower than that reported by others (Kriska et al. ). This is possibly due to the fact that in comparison with the natural heart rate of ~320 beat/min in our studies, the referenced studies of others used pacing hearts in their research, which led to a corresponding heart rate of 420 beats/min (Kriska et al.…”

“…However, there was a difference in the basal HETE levels in plasma from WT and KI mice. HETEs can cause vasorelaxation (35,36), and therefore their decreased abundance in KI plasma provides an explanation for their basal hypertension compared with littermate WT. What remains undefined is the mechanism by which plasma HETE levels are lower in KI.…”

“…12-15LO metabolites are known to be involved in ACh-induced arterial relaxation in mesenteric arteries and may be involved in the increase in splanchnic blood flow of portal hypertension [120,121]. Moreover transgenic mice that overexpress 15-LO and rabbits infected with adenovirus containing cDNA for human 15-LO have an increased ACh-and AA-mediated relaxation in mesenteric arteries as compared to control animals [120,121].…”

“…Moreover transgenic mice that overexpress 15-LO and rabbits infected with adenovirus containing cDNA for human 15-LO have an increased ACh-and AA-mediated relaxation in mesenteric arteries as compared to control animals [120,121]. Because of the increased response to ACh [122] in cirrhosis, a role of 15LO metabolites in the pathological vasodilatation of arterial splanchnic vessels in liver cirrhosis can be hypothesized.…”
