Abstract

The fatty acid oxygenase activity of mesothelial cells and its role in inflammatory and neoplastic diseases of the mesothelium have not been defined. Techniques permitting in vitro cultivation of human mesothelial cells shed into serous cavities have permitted analysis of their specific metabolic capacities. The principal products of incubations of cultured human mesothelial cells with polyunsaturated fatty acids were analyzed using high performance liquid chromatography on reversed-, straight-, and chiral-phase columns and gas-liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry. The products included 6-keto-PGF_1α, 15-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (S/R = 3.5), 11-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid, and 12-hydroxyheptadecatrienoic acid from arachidonic acid; 9-and 13-hydroxyoctadecadienoic acids (molar ratio of 9/13-hydroxyoctadecadienoic acids = 3.5, S/R ratios = 0.3 and 2.8, respectively) from linoleic acid; and 12-hydroxyheptadecadienoic acid from homo-γ-linolenic acid. These products are indicative of a cyclooxygenase whose activation in vivo may play a significant role in serosal cavity pathology.

Epidermal fatty acid oxygenases are activated in non-psoriatic dermatoses
1995, Journal of Investigative Dermatology
The extent of epidermal fatty acid oxygenase activation in non-psoriatic dermatoses and the nature of these oxygenases are not known. The monohydroxylated fatty acid derivatives produced in vivo and trapped in skin scales or produced in vitro by oxygenases preserved in scales were analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography in 10 patients with non-psoriatic dermatoses. Evidence for 15-lipoxygenase activation included the finding of 15(S)-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (HETE) in scales from seven patients and the production of 15(S)-[¹⁴C]HETE and 13(S)-[¹⁴C]hydroxyoctadecadienoic acid (HODE) during scale incubations, respectively, with [¹⁴C]arachidonic and [¹⁴C]linoleic acid. Evidence for the activation of an arachidonic acid 12(R)-oxygenase included the finding of 12(R)-HETE in scales from eight patients and the production of 12(R)-[¹⁴C]HETE during scale incubations with [¹⁴C]arachidonic acid. 13-HODE was the predominant fatty acid derivative present in scale extracts; its lack of enantiopurity (mean S/R = 3.1) and the substantial formation of 9-HODE (mean S/R = 0.6; 9/13-HODE = 0.43) suggest its derivation from 15-lipoxygenase and a second oxygenase. The levels of 15(S)-HETE and 12(R)-HETE had a 125- to 144-fold range and were highest in scales from a patient with erythroderma and in three psoriatic scale samples similarly analyzed. These findings indicate that 15-lipoxygenase, most likely of keratinocyte origin, and an arachidonic acid 12(R)oxygenase of unknown type and cell origin are activated in diverse dermatoses.
