The coupling of 5-oxo-eicosanoid receptors to heterotrimeric G proteins.
(1/32)
5-Oxo-eicosatetraenoic acid (5-oxoETE) stimulated human neutrophil (PMN) and eosinophil chemotaxis, PMN hexose uptake, and PMN membrane GTP/GDP exchange. Pertussis toxin (PT), a blocker of heterotrimeric G proteins (GP), completely inhibited these responses, but proved far less effective on the same responses when elicited by leukotriene B4, C5a, FMLP, platelet-activating factor, IL-8, or RANTES chemotactic factors. 5-OxoETE also specifically bound to the membrane preparations that conducted GTP/GDP exchange. This binding was down-regulated by GTPgammaS, but not ADPgammaS, and displaced by 5-oxoETE analogues, but not by leukotriene B4, lipoxin A4, or lipoxin B4. Finally, PMN expressed PT-sensitive GP alphaiota2 and PT-resistant GP alphaq/11- and alpha13-chains; eosinophils expressed only alphai2 and alphaq/11. We conclude that 5-oxoETE activates granulocytes through a unique receptor that couples preferentially to PT-sensitive GP. The strict dependency of this putative receptor on PT-sensitive GP may underlie the limited actions of 5-oxoETE, compared with other CF, and help clarify the complex relations between receptors, GP, cell signals, and cell responses.

A 12(S)-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid receptor interacts with steroid receptor coactivator-1.
(2/32)
Lewis lung carcinoma cells contain specific high-affinity binding sites for the eicosanoid 12(S)-hydroxy-5,8,10,14-eicosatetraenoic acid [12(S)-HETE]. These binding sites have a cytosolic/nuclear localization and contain the heat shock proteins hsp70 and hsp90 as components of a high molecular weight cytosolic binding complex. The ligand binding subunit of this complex is a protein with an apparent molecular mass of approximately 50 kDa as judged by gel permeation chromatography. In this report, we present data showing that the 50-kDa 12(S)-HETE binding protein interacts as a homodimer with steroid receptor coactivator-1 (SRC-1) in the presence of 12(S)-HETE. Two putative interaction domains were mapped. One of these (amino acids 701-781) was within the nuclear receptor interaction domain in SRC-1 required for binding of various steroid and thyroid hormone receptors. It contains the most C-terminal of the three copies of LXXLL motif present in the nuclear receptor interaction domain. The second interaction domain was present in the N-terminal part of SRC-1 (amino acids 1-221). This region has two LXXLL motifs, one does not bind and the other binds only weakly to steroid and thyroid hormone receptors. Glutathione S-transferase (GST) pulldown experiments and far Western analyses demonstrated that the N-terminal region of SRC-1 (amino acids 1-212) alone does not bind the 50-kDa 12(S)-HETE binding protein, whereas GST/DeltaSRC-1(1-1138) ligand-dependently pulled down a protein of approximately 50 kDa in size. Our results suggest that the 50-kDa 12(S)-HETE binding protein is a receptor that may signal through interaction with a nuclear receptor coactivator protein. (+info)
Characterization of prostanoid receptors mediating contraction of the gastric fundus and ileum: studies using mice deficient in prostanoid receptors.
(3/32)
Receptors mediating prostanoid-induced contractions of longitudinal sections of gastric fundus and ileum were characterized by using tissues obtained from mice deficient in each type and subtype of prostanoid receptors. The fundus and ileum from mice deficient in either EP(3) (EP(3)(-/-) mice), EP(1) (EP(1)(-/-) mice) and FP (FP(-/-) mice) all showed decreased contraction to PGE(2) compared to the tissues from wild-type mice, whereas contraction of the fundus slightly increased in EP(4)(-/-) mice. 17-phenyl-PGE(2) also showed decreased contraction of the fundus from EP(3)(-/-), EP(1)(-/-) and FP(-/-) mice. Sulprostone showed decreased contraction of the fundus from EP(3)(-/-) and FP(-/-) mice, and decreased contraction of the ileum to this compound was seen in tissues from EP(3)(-/-), EP(1)(-/-) and FP(-/-) mice. In DP(-/-) mice, sulprostone showed increased contraction. DI-004 and AE-248 caused the small but concentration-dependent contraction of both tissues, and these contractions were abolished in tissues obtained from EP(1)(-/-) and EP(3)(-/-) mice, respectively, but not affected in other mice. Contractions of both fundus and ileum to PGF(2)alpha was absent at lower concentrations (10(-9) to 10(-7) M), and suppressed at higher concentrations (10(-6) to 10(-5) M) of the agonist in the FP(-/-) mice. Suppression of the contractions at the higher PGF(2)alpha concentrations was also seen in the fundus from EP(3)(-/-), EP(1)(-/-) and TP(-/-) mice and in the ileum from EP(3)(-/-) and TP(-/-) mice. Contraction of the fundus to PGD(2) was significantly enhanced in DP(-/-) mice, and contractions of the fundus and ileum to this PG decreased in FP(-/-) and EP(3)(-/-) mice. Contractions of both tissues to I-BOP was absent at 10(-9) to 10(-7) M and much suppressed at higher concentrations in TP(-/-) mice. Slight suppression to this agonist was also observed in the tissues from EP(3)(-/-) mice. PGI(2) induced small relaxation of both tissues from wild-type mice. These relaxation reactions were much potentiated in EP(3)(-/-) mice. On the other hand, significant contraction to PGI(2) was observed in both tissues obtained from IP(-/-) mice. These results show that contractions of the fundus and ileum induced by each prostanoid agonist are mediated by actions of this agonist on multiple types of prostanoid receptors and in some cases modified by its action on relaxant receptors.

12-hydroxyeicosatetrenoate (12-HETE) attenuates AMPA receptor-mediated neurotoxicity: evidence for a G-protein-coupled HETE receptor.
(4/32)
12-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (12-HETE) is a neuromodulator that is synthesized during ischemia. Its neuronal effects include attenuation of calcium influx and glutamate release as well as inhibition of AMPA receptor (AMPA-R) activation. Because 12-HETE reduces ischemic injury in the heart, we examined whether it can also reduce neuronal excitotoxicity. When treated with 12-(S)HETE, cortical neuron cultures subjected to AMPA-R-mediated glutamate toxicity suffered up to 40% less damage than untreated cultures. The protective effect of 12-(S)HETE was concentration-dependent (EC50 = 88 nm) and stereostructurally selective. Maximal protection was conferred by 300 nm 12-(S)HETE; 300 nm 15-(S)HETE was similarly protective, but 300 nm 5-(S)HETE was less effective. The chiral isomer 12-(R)HETE offered no protection; neither did arachidonic acid or 12-(S)hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acid. Excitotoxicity was calcium-dependent, and 12-(S)HETE was demonstrated to protect by inactivating N and L (but not P) calcium channels via a pertussis toxin-sensitive mechanism. Calcium imaging demonstrated that 12-(S)HETE also attenuates glutamate-induced calcium influx into neurons via a pertussis toxin-sensitive mechanism, suggesting that it acts via a G-protein-coupled receptor. In addition, 12-(S)HETE stimulates GTPgammaS binding (indicating G-protein activation) and inhibits adenylate cyclase in forskolin-stimulated cultures over the same concentration range as it exerts its anti-excitotoxic and calcium-influx attenuating effects. These studies demonstrate that 12-(S)HETE can protect neurons from excitotoxicity by activating a G(i/o)-protein-coupled receptor, which limits calcium influx through voltage-gated channels. (+info)
Identification of a novel human eicosanoid receptor coupled to G(i/o).
(5/32)
We have conducted an in silico data base search for and cloned a novel G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) named TG1019. Dot and Northern blotting analyses showed that transcripts of the novel GPCR were expressed in various tissues except brain, and the expression was more intense in liver, kidney, peripheral leukocyte, lung, and spleen than in other tissues. By GTP gamma S binding assay using the TG1019-G alpha(i1)-protein fusion expressed in insect cells, eicosanoids, and polyunsaturated fatty acids such as 5-oxo-6E,8Z,11Z,14Z-eicosatetraenoic acid (5-oxo-ETE), 5(S)-hydroperoxy-6E,8Z, 11Z,14Z-eicosatetraenoic acid, and arachidonic acid were identified to exhibit agonistic activities against TG1019. 5-oxo-ETE was the most potent to enhance the specific binding by 6-fold at a maximum effect dose of submicromolar to micromolar order with an ED(50) value of 5.7 nM. Conversely, polyunsaturated fatty acids such as docosahexaenoic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid showed antagonistic activities against TG1019. In Chinese hamster ovary cells transiently expressing TG1019, the forskolin-stimulated production of cAMP was inhibited up to approximately 70% by 5-oxo-ETE, with an IC(50) value of 33 nM. This inhibition was sensitive to pretreatment of the cells with pertussis toxin. (+info)
5(S)-Hydroxy-6,8,11,14-E,Z,Z,Z-eicosatetraenoate stimulates PC3 cell signaling and growth by a receptor-dependent mechanism.
(6/32)
5(S)-Hydroxy-6,8,11,14-E,Z,Z,Z-eicosatetraenoate (5-HETE) causes PC3 cells to grow by an unknown mechanism. We find that it also induces the cells to activate extracellular signal-regulated kinases and Akt. Pertussis toxin inhibits both responses. 5-HETE, 5-oxo-6,8,11,14-E,Z,Z,Z-eicosatetraenoate, and 5-oxo-15-hydroxy-eicosatetraenoate are known to stimulate leukocytes by a receptor coupled to pertussis toxin-sensitive G proteins. Their respective relative potencies in leukocytes are 1, 10, and 3. In PC3 cells, however, these values are 10, 1, and 0. PC3 cells, we propose, express a non-leukocyte-type, G protein-coupled, 5-HETE receptor. This novel receptor and the extracellular signal-regulated kinase and Akt pathways it recruits may contribute to the progression of prostate adenocarcinoma. (+info)
15-Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (15-HETE) receptors. Involvement in the 15-HETE-induced stimulation of the cryptic 5-lipoxygenase in PT-18 mast/basophil cells.
(7/32)
The mechanisms of stimulation of the inactive 5-lipoxygenase in mast/basophil PT-18 cells by microM 15-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (15-HETE) was investigated. Treatment of PT-18 cells with pM 15-[3H]HETE at 4 degrees for 3 h resulted in the cell association of 10% of the ligand: two-thirds was incorporated into cellular lipids and a third was bound to specific 15-HETE cellular binding sites. Binding data analysis indicated a single class of 15-HETE binding sites with a Kd of 162 nM and a Bmax of 7.1 x 10(5) sites/cell. Unlabeled 15-HETE, 12-HETE, and 5,15-diHETE inhibited the binding of 15-[3H]HETE to cells, whereas LTB4 and PGF2 alpha were relatively ineffective. 2.4 microM 15-HETE (unlabeled) prevented 50% 15-[3H]HETE incorporation. Examination of the effects of 15-HETE methyl ester, 12-HETE, 5,15-diHETE, and pertussis toxin on both the 15-HETE-induced 5-lipoxygenase activation and 15-HETE cell association processes indicated a preponderant correlation of this activation process with specific 15-HETE binding rather than 15-HETE incorporation into phospholipids. In addition, 5,15-diHETE itself stimulated the inactive 5-lipoxygenase and eight times more [3H]diHETE was bound to cells than became incorporated into cellular lipids. The results support the involvement of low affinity 15-HETE receptors, rather than 15-HETE incorporation into cellular lipids, in the 15-HETE-induced stimulation of the 5-lipoxygenase in PT-18 cells.

International Union of Pharmacology XLIV. Nomenclature for the oxoeicosanoid receptor.
(8/32)
Oxoeicosanoids are a family of biologically active arachidonic acid derivatives that have been intimately linked with cellular migration. These metabolites are not only potent chemotaxins but also elicit oxygen radical production as well as induce secretory events in different cells. The most potent native ligand reported is 5-oxo-6,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoic acid (5-oxo-ETE), and the cell membrane receptor activated has now been cloned. This receptor is distinct from those receptors activated by either the prostaglandins or the leukotrienes. The purpose of this review is to briefly summarize the molecular evidence and highlight the significance of this receptor. In addition, an official nomenclature for this oxoeicosanoid receptor is proposed. (+info)
