Prostaglandin biosynthesis can be triggered by lipid peroxides

Abstract: Studies of ferriheme cyclooxygenase, using two different assay systems, show that a variety of peroxides can trigger a rapid acceleration of cyclooxygenase activity to produce prostaglandins. Lipid hydroperoxides formed by lipoxygenase were the most potent activators tested, followed by prostaglandin Gz, which was slightly less potent. Peroxides nonspecifically generated during arachidonate autoxidation were as potent as the enzymatically formed lipid peroxides. These findings have important implications for c… Show more

“…The inhibition of the AIsc response to X/XO by CAT, coupled with reproduction of the X/XO response with G/GO and exogenous H202, provide strong evidence that H202 is the active species altering transport. The possibility that 0H, formed from H202 by the Haber-Weiss (26)(27)(28). However, there may be an important dose-response effect in that high levels of lipoperoxides, perhaps through OIW formation, will inactivate prostaglandin and prostacyclin synthases (28).…”

“…The PGHS peroxidase exhibits a preference for alkyl hydrophobic peroxides as substrates, with highest activity seen with hydroperoxy-polyunsaturated fatty acids (such as HPETEs) which are slightly more active than PGG 2 [23]. The rate constant for an HPETE is approximately 1000-fold greater than for H 2 O 2 [24].…”

These HPETEs and HETEs also inhibit the 5-lipoxygenase pathway reversibly.…”
