Epoxygenases and peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptors in mammalian vascular biology

Abstract: EpoxygenasesThe epoxygenase enzymes are a group of microsomal cytochrome P450s (CYP) which catalyse the conversion of arachidonic acid (AA) to produce four regio-isomeric epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) : 5, 8, 11,[12][13][14] The epoxygenase pathway of arachidonic acid metabolism is by no means secondary to the widely characterized cyclo-oxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase pathways. Epoxygenase enzymes (primarily of the CYP2C and CYP2J families) appear to be the prime route of arachidonic acid metabolism in sma… Show more

“…EETs have been shown to have potent vasodilatory and anti-inflammatory functions (Wray and Bishop-Bailey, 2008). Because CYP2C8 has also been detected in endothelial cells and arteries, oxidation of arachidonic acid to produce 11,12-and 14,15-EETs may play vasodilatory and anti-inflammatory roles (Delozier et al, 2007;Wray and Bishop-Bailey, 2008). This study also indicates the possibility of a previously underrepresented drug-drug interaction due to upregulation of CYP2C8 by hypolipidemic (fibrates and WY14643) and antidiabetic (rosiglitazone) drugs.…”

“…Because CYP2C8 is involved in the metabolism of fatty acids, it is reasonable to suggest that, like CYP4A, induction of endogenous CYP2C8 by PPARa may serve a role in the oxidative metabolism of arachidonic acid to EETs. EETs have been shown to have potent vasodilatory and anti-inflammatory functions (Wray and Bishop-Bailey, 2008). Because CYP2C8 has also been detected in endothelial cells and arteries, oxidation of arachidonic acid to produce 11,12-and 14,15-EETs may play vasodilatory and anti-inflammatory roles (Delozier et al, 2007;Wray and Bishop-Bailey, 2008).…”

“…The mRNA expression of FASN was potently reduced in Indo-and FO + Indo-treated mice. Although the protein Regarding the CYP pathways, AA can be metabolized by the CYP2C family to epoxy eicosatrienoic acid, which is a potent anti-infl ammatory mediator ( 34 ) and a strong PPAR agonist ( 35 ). Moreover, it has been recently shown that such epoxy derivatives can be produced from n-3 fatty acids ( 36,37 ).…”

“…There have been numerous reports comparing the effects of PPARa and PPARg activation with the effects of the EETs on vascular cell proliferation, migration, and inflammation (Wray and Bishop-Bailey, 2008). Different regioisomers may even target different PPAR isoforms because v-hydroxylated 14,15-EET and 14,15-DHET (Cowart et al, 2002;Fang et al, 2005) as well as 8,9-EET and 11-12-EET Wray et al, 2009) are reported to bind with a high affinity to PPARa, whereas the EETs generated in endothelial cells in response to fluid shear stress target PPARg .…”
