Prostaglandin F2  Synthase Activities of Aldo-Keto Reductase 1B1, 1B3 and 1B7

Abstract: Here, we show that three enzymes belonging to the 1B group of the aldo-keto reductase (AKR) superfamily, i.e., human placental aldose reductase (AKR1B1), mouse kidney aldose reductase (AKR1B3) and mouse vas deferens protein (AKR1B7), catalyse the reduction of prostaglandin (PG) H(2), a common intermediate of various prostanoids, to form PGF(2alpha) in the presence of NADPH. AKR1B1, AKR1B3 and AKR1B7 displayed higher affinities for PGH(2) (K(m) = 1.9, 9.3 and 3.8 microM, respectively) and V(max) values (26, 53 … Show more

“…Recent works have documented the interaction of several PGs with enzymes of the AKR family (Nagata et al, 2011), and the role of AKR1B1 in PG synthesis (Kabututu et al, 2009). Therefore, we explored the effect of several PGs as potential inhibitors of AKR1B1.…”

“…AKR1B1 has also been involved in allergic inflammation and asthma Yadav et al, 2013). Moreover, AKR1B1 participates in the metabolism of certain prostaglandins (PGs), thus regulating the generation of inflammatory or vasoactive mediators (Kabututu et al, 2009;Michaud et al, 2014).…”

“…10) AKR1B7 is insensitive to AR inhibitors (ARIs) 10) and exhibits prostaglandin (PG) F 2a synthase activity, which is not detected in the ARI-sensitive AKR1B8. 14) In rats, two ARLPs, AKR1B13 and AKR1B14, have been identified, 15,16) and are thought to be orthologs of mouse AKR1B8 and AKR1B7, respectively, based on high sequence identity of 95% (AKR1B13 versus AKR1B8) and 87% (AKR1B14 versus AKR1B7). AKR1B13 is distributed in almost all rat tissues, and exhibits similar substrate specificity and inhibitor sensitivity to AKR1B8.…”

“…Although it is impossible to exclude the possibility completely, it is unlikely that SIRT1-related activity mediates anti-adipogenic actions, as butein is more potent than resveratrol in terms of inhibiting adipogenesis and STAT3 activation. Other studies have shown that butein inhibits aldo-keto reductase 1B family members, resulting in less prostaglandin F2 ␣ production ( 38,39 ). However, knockdown and pharmacological inhibition of aldo-keto reductase induces adipogenesis and PPAR ␥ expression ( 40 ).…”
