interleukin-8 and 5-hydroxy-6-8-11-14-eicosatetraenoic-acid

To determine the association of polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA)-derived lipid mediators with progression from rheumatoid arthritis (RA)-related autoimmunity to inflammatory arthritis (IA).. We conducted a prospective cohort study using data from the Studies of the Etiology of Rheumatoid Arthritis (SERA). SERA enrolled first-degree relatives (FDRs) of individuals with RA (FDR cohort) and individuals who screened positive for RA-related autoantibodies at health fairs (screened cohort). We followed up 133 anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide 3.1 (anti-CCP3.1)-positive participants, 29 of whom developed IA. Lipid mediators selected a priori were quantified from stored plasma samples using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. We fit multivariable Cox proportional hazards models for each lipid mediator as a time-varying variable. For lipid mediators found to be significantly associated with IA, we then examined interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-6, IL-8, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) as potential statistical mediators.. For every 1 natural log pg/ml increase in the circulating plasma levels of proinflammatory 5-HETE, the risk of developing IA increased by 241% (hazard ratio 2.41 [95% confidence interval 1.43-4.07]) after adjusting for age at baseline, cohort (FDR or screened), and shared epitope status. The models examining 15-HETE and 17-HDHA had the same trend but did not reach significance. We did not find evidence that the association between 5-HETE and IA risk was influenced by the proinflammatory cytokines tested.. In a prospective cohort of anti-CCP-positive individuals, higher levels of 5-HETE, an important precursor to proinflammatory leukotrienes, is associated with subsequent IA. Our findings highlight the potential significance of these PUFA metabolites in pre-RA populations.

5-Lipoxygenase (5-LOX) plays key roles in infection and allergic responses. Herein, four 5-LOX-derived lipids comprising 5-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (HETE) attached to phospholipids (PLs), either phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) or phosphatidylcholine (18:0p/5-HETE-PE, 18:1p/5-HETE-PE, 16:0p/5-HETE-PE, and 16:0a/5-HETE-PC), were identified in primary human neutrophils. They formed within 2 minutes in response to serum-opsonized Staphylococcus epidermidis or f-methionine-leucine-phenylalanine, with priming by lipopolysaccharide, granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor, or cytochalasin D. Levels generated were similar to free 5-HETE (0.37 ± 0.14 ng vs 0.55 ± 0.18 ng/10(6) cells, esterified vs free 5-HETE, respectively). They remained cell associated, localizing to nuclear and extranuclear membrane, and were formed by fast esterification of newly synthesized free 5-HETE. Generation also required Ca(2+), phospholipase C, cytosolic and secretory phospholipase A(2), 5-LOX activating protein, and mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinase kinase 1. 5-HETE-PLs were detected in murine S epidermidis peritonitis, paralleling neutrophil influx, and in effluent from Gram-positive human bacterial peritonitis. Formation of neutrophil extracellular traps was significantly enhanced by 5-LOX inhibition but attenuated by HETE-PE, whereas 5-HETE-PE enhanced superoxide and interleukin-8 generation. Thus, new molecular species of oxidized PL formed by human neutrophils during bacterial infection are identified and characterized.

The ligand activated nuclear hormone receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) induces transcriptional repression of pro-inflammatory factors. Activation of PPARgamma is followed by amelioration of colitis in animal models of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). A reduced expression of PPARgamma was found in epithelial cells of patients with ulcerative colitis. The eicosanoids 13-HODE and 15-HETE are products of 12/15-lipoxygenase (LOX) and endogenous ligands for PPARgamma. Dehydrogenation of 13-HODE by 13-HODE dehydrogenase results in formation of the 13-Oxo-ODE. Highest activity of 13-HODE dehydrogenase is found in colonic epithelial cells (CECs). We therefore investigated whether 13-Oxo-ODE is a new endogenous ligand of PPARgamma in CECs.. LOX activity and 13-HODE dehydrogenase in CECs were investigated after stimulation with arachidonic or linoleic acid. LOX metabolites were identified by RP-18 reversed-phase HPLC. Binding of (14)C-labelled 13-Oxo-ODE was demonstrated using a His-tagged PPARgamma.. Stimulation of HT-29 and primary CECs homogenates with and without Ca-ionophor was followed by the formation of high amounts of the linoleic acid metabolite 13-Oxo-ODE (155 and 85 ng/ml). The decrease of IL-8 secretion from IEC was more pronounced after pre-incubation with 13-Oxo-ODE compared to the PPARgamma agonist troglitazone and higher as with the known PPARgamma ligands 13-HODE and 15-HETE. Binding assays with (14)C-labelled 13-Oxo-ODE clearly demonstrated a direct interaction.. High amounts of 13-Oxo-ODE can be induced in CECs by stimulation of linoleic acid metabolism. 13-Oxo-ODE binds to PPARgamma and has anti-inflammatory effects. 13-HODE dehydrogenase might be a therapeutic target in IBD.
