  • Title: Arachidonic acid metabolites by cytochrome P-450 dependent monooxygenase pathway in bovine adrenal fasciculata cells.
    Author: Nishimura M, Hirai A, Omura M, Tamura Y, Yoshida S.
    Journal: Prostaglandins; 1989 Oct; 38(4):413-30. PubMed ID: 2510214.
    Abstract:
    [1-14C]Arachidonic acid was incubated with microsomes of bovine adrenal fasciculata cells in the presence of 1 mM NADPH for 30 min at 37 degrees C. The metabolites were separated and purified by reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography, and identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Identified metabolites were four dihydroxyeicosatrienoic acids (DHTs) (5,6-, 8,9-, 11,12-, 14,15-DHTs), 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid and eicosatetradioic acid. The formation of these metabolites was dependent on NADPH and inhibited by SKF-525A. 14,15-DHT was also formed by isolated bovine adrenal fasciculata cells. These results indicate that cytochrome P-450 dependent arachidonate monooxygenase pathway may exist in bovine adrenal fasciculata cells. Addition of the chemically synthesized epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) to isolated bovine adrenal fasciculata cells stimulated cortisol production. Among four regioisomeric EETs, 14,15-EET was most potent and stimulated steroidogenesis in a dose-related manner over a range of 0.5 to 5.0 microM.
