20-Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid is an endogenous vasoconstrictor of canine renal arcuate arteries.

Abstract: Recent studies have indicated that renal arteries can produce 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20 -HETE) and suggest the potential involvement of a P450 metabolite of arachidonic acid in the myogenic activation of canine renal arteries. In the present study, the effects of 20-HETE on isolated canine renal arcuate arteries were studied. Administration of 20-HETE to the bath or the lumen at concentrations of 0.01-1 ,uM produced a graded reduction in the diameter of these vessels. In Received December 17, 1991;… Show more

“…20-Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE), the ω-hydroxylated product of arachidonic acid, is a vasoconstrictor [29,30], whereas 19-HETE, the (ω-1)-hydroxylated product, as well as some of the arachidonic acid epoxides are vasodilators [30][31][32]. Therefore, the ω-hydroxylation regiospecificity of CYP4A enzymes is of critical physiological importance.…”

“…This pattern of CYP4F2 and CYP4A11 distribution in human kidney has, in all likelihood, important implications with regard to effects of AA-derived eicosanoids on integrated renal function. As already mentioned, 20-HETE is a potent constrictor of renal and extrarenal vessels (7,70,71), a property that has been attributed to the ability of this eicosanoid to inhibit opening of the large conductance Ca 2ϩ -activated K ϩ channel in vascular smooth muscle cells (72,73). Thus, it is relevant that most CYP4 protein expression and, hence, 20-HETE production, would occur in portions of the nephron (i.e.…”

“…They also inhibit sodium and water reabsorption in the collecting duct (40). In contrast, 20-HETE is produced by vascular smooth muscle cells and is a potent constrictor of renal arterioles (5,19,23). Inhibition of the synthesis of 20-HETE attenuates the vasoconstrictor response of renal arterioles to elevations in transmural pressure in vitro (16, 18) and autoregulation of renal blood flow and tubuloglomerular feedback responses in vivo (8,48).…”
