TRPV1 is a member of the transient receptor potential ion channel family and is gated by capsaicin, the pungent component of chili pepper. It is expressed predominantly in small diameter peripheral nerve fibers and is activated by noxious temperatures >42 °C. 20-Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE) is a cytochrome P-450 4A/4F-derived metabolite of the membrane phospholipid arachidonic acid. It is a powerful vasoconstrictor and has structural similarities with other TRPV1 agonists, e.g. the hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acid 12-HPETE, and we hypothesized that it may be an endogenous ligand for TRPV1 in sensory neurons innervating the vasculature. Here, we demonstrate that 20-HETE both activates and sensitizes mouse and human TRPV1, in a kinase-dependent manner, involving the residue Ser(502) in heterologously expressed hTRPV1, at physiologically relevant concentrations.

20-HETE mediates Ang II-induced cardiac hypertrophy via ROS and Ca signaling in H9c2 cells.

Sci Rep

Department of Physiology, Zunyi Medical University, Campus No.1 Road, Xinpu New District, Zunyi, 563006, Guizhou, China.

In the vascular system, angiotensin II (Ang II) mediated vasoconstriction by inducing the production of 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE). However, the role of 20-HETE in Ang II-induced cardiac dysfunction had yet to be fully elucidated. This study investigated the effects of Ang II on CYP4A expression and 20-HETE production in H9c2 cells using RT-qPCR, Western blot, and ELISA.

Introduction of a carboxylic acid group into pyrazolylpyridine derivatives increased selectivity for inhibition of the 20-HETE synthase CYP4A11/4F2.

20-Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE) is a lipid mediator and one of the major arachidonic acid metabolites whose formation is mainly catalyzed by the enzymes cytochrome P450 (CYP) 4F2 and CYP4A11. Several studies have suggested that 20-HETE is involved in the pathogenesis of renal diseases, including diabetic nephropathy and autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, and we previously reported compound 1 as a dual inhibitor of CYP4A11/4F2 with therapeutic potential against renal fibrosis. Subsequent studies revealed that compound 1, the dual CYP4A11/4F2 inhibitor, however, exhibited low selectivity over another CYP4F subtype, CYP4F22, which catalyzes ω-hydroxylation of ultra-long-chain fatty acids (ULCFAs); ULCFAs are important for the formation of acylceramides, which play a role in skin barrier formation.

Salidroside attenuates sepsis-induced acute lung injury by inhibiting ferroptosis-dependent pathway.

Korean J Physiol Pharmacol

Article Synopsis
  • Sepsis can lead to acute lung injury (ALI) due to a strong inflammatory response, and salidroside (SAL) is known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.
  • The study investigated how SAL affects ALI in a septic mouse model, analyzing lung tissue damage, inflammatory factors, and the ferroptosis pathway.
  • Results showed that SAL treatment improved lung tissue health, reduced harmful inflammatory markers, and inhibited ferroptosis, indicating its potential as a therapeutic option for sepsis-induced ALI.

Epidemiological studies have demonstrated exposure to cadmium ion (Cd) is significantly associated with the incidence and aggravation of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Cd exposure could alter lipid metabolism, and changed lipid metabolites are significantly associated with NASH. Arachidonic acid (ArA) is an omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid.
