Enhanced synthesis of epoxyeicosatrienoic acids by cholesterol-fed rabbit aorta

Department of Pharmacology, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas 75235.

Arachidonic acid metabolism via cyclooxygenase, lipoxygenase, and cytochrome P-450 epoxygenase was investigated in thoracic aortic tissue obtained from rabbits fed either standard rabbit chow or chow containing 2% cholesterol. Aortic strips were incubated with [14C]arachidonic acid and A23187. Metabolites from extracted media were resolved by high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). Normal and cholesterol-fed rabbit aortas synthesized prostaglandins (PGs) and hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (HETEs). The major cyclooxygenase products were 6-keto-PGF1 alpha and PGE2. Basal aortic 6-keto-PGF1 alpha production was slightly reduced in cholesterol-fed compared with normal rabbits. 12(S)- and 15(S)-HETE were the major aortic lipoxygenase products from both normal and cholesterol-fed rabbits. The structures were confirmed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Only cholesterol-fed rabbit aortas metabolized arachidonic acid via cytochrome P-450 epoxygenase to the epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs). 14,15-, 11,12-, 8,9-, and 5,6-EET were identified based on comigration on HPLC with known 14C-labeled standards and typical mass spectra. Incubation of normal aorta with 14,15-EET decreased the basal synthesis of 6-keto-PGF1 alpha. The other EETs were without effect. The four EET regioisomers relaxed the norepinephrine-precontracted normal and cholesterol-fed rabbit aorta. The relaxation response to 14,15-EET was greater in aortas from cholesterol-fed rabbits. These studies demonstrate that hypercholesterolemia, before the development of atherosclerosis, alters arachidonic acid metabolism via both the cyclooxygenase and epoxygenase pathways.
