Formation of 15-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (15-HETE) as the predominant eicosanoid in aortas from Watanabe Heritable Hyperlipidemic and cholesterol-fed rabbits

Atherosclerosis
T C SimonJ M Bailey

Abstract

Atherosclerotic plaque formation is accompanied by hyperproliferative events which have many features of an inflammatory response. A high-performance liquid chromatography procedure was developed to analyze the inflammatory prostaglandins, leukotrienes and hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (HETEs) produced by aortic segments. Normal rabbit aortas incubated with tritiated arachidonic acid synthesized 12-HETE as the principal lipoxygenase metabolite, and prostacyclin as the major cyclooxygenase product. In contrast, atherosclerotic aortas from both cholesterol-fed and Watanabe Heritable Hyperlipidemic rabbits showed major increases in synthesis of lipoxygenase-derived 15-HETE, which became the predominant eicosanoid in the aortas of both types of rabbit. No leukotrienes or other 5-lipoxygenase products were detected to the detection limit of 0.5 pmol/cm aorta. 15-HETE, which is chemotactic for smooth muscle cells, mitogenic for endothelial cells, and an inhibitor of prostacyclin synthesis may thus play a role in atherogenesis.

Atherosclerosis Disease Progression

Atherosclerosis is the buildup of plaque on artery walls, causing stenosis which can eventually lead to clinically apparent cardiovascular disease. Find the latest research on atherosclerosis disease progression here.
