Definitions

  • This invention relates to a new form of 12-lipoxygenase (12-LO) RNA and protein in human adrenal, vascular smooth muscle, endothelial and mononuclear cells.
  • the invention also relates to the mediation of angiotensin II (All) and glucose induced vascular and renal actions by activation of this 12-LO pathway.
  • Enhanced atherosclerotic cardiovascular and renal disease continue to be major causes of morbidity and mortality in patients with diabetes ellitus and hypertension. All activity and elevated glucose are known to play a role in increased propensity to these disorders.
  • the 12-LO pathway can produce active products including 12-hydroperoxyeicosatetra- enoic acid (12-HPETE) and more stable 12 hydroxyeico- satetraenoic acid (12-HETE) .
  • some 12-LO enzymes can also metabolize linoleic acid to produce additional active lipids called hydroxyoctadecadienoic acid (HODES) .
  • HODES hydroxyoctadecadienoic acid
  • the LO products may play a key role in the development of vascular and renal disease.
  • 12-HETE and 12-HPETE have been shown to be important mediators of All induced effects on inhibition of renin release from kidney (1) stimulation of aldosterone synthesis from rat and human adrenal cells (2,3) and increase in blood pressure in rats (4) .
  • 12-HETE and 12-HPETE can lead to vascular smooth muscle cell migration at concentrations as low as 10-14M (5) , and both products can inhibit the synthesis of the vasoprotective eicosanoid prostacyclin (6,7) .
  • the linoleic acid metabolities including 13 and 9 HODE have been recently found to be capable of producing mitogenic effects in certain cell types including the liver and fibroblasts (8,9) and can mediate epidermal growth factor induced proliferative actions (9) .
  • Recent studies in several species have shown the presence of two forms of 12-LO (10,11).
  • One type has been cloned from porcine leukocytes (10) , which shares 85% sequence homology to a human tracheal 15-LO enzyme (12) .
  • Another type of 12-LO found almost exclusively in human platelets is only 65% homologous to the porcine leukocyte type of 12-LO (11) .
  • These two forms of 12-LO not only differ in amino acid sequence, but also show differences in preferred substrates.
  • the platelet type of 12-LO exclusively reacts with arachiodonic acid to form 12-HETE.
  • the porcine leukocyte type of 12-LO reacts with linoleic acid and to form 9 and 13-HODE as well as arachidonic acid to form 12-HETE.
  • 12-LO products can mediate All-induced bovine adrenal cell proliferation (13) .
  • This invention includes the discovery of a new form of 12-LO RNA and protein in human adrenal, mononuclear, vascular smooth muscle and endothelial cells. Activation of this 12-LO pathway plays a key role in mediating All and glucose induced vascular and renal actions. Products of this newly discovered 12-LO pathway can directly activate protein kinase C and lead to increased vascular smooth muscle cell growth, a hallmark atherosclerotic vascular disease.
  • Another aspect of the invention postulates treatment or prevention of vascular disease in patients with diabetes mellitus or hypertension by inhibition of this new form of 12-LO.
  • the invention thus provides a rationale for development of a new pharmaceutical or molecular method to inhibit this newly discovered lipoxygenase pathway.

  • amplified genomic DNA from human leukocyte nuclei shows that the gene size in the segment amplified (1 Kb) was substantially larger than the expected size in the same region in the porcine gene.
  • Figure 17 shows identical procedures as outlined previously for protein expression that All can increase 12-LO protein expression in human aortic smooth muscle cells. The increase of expression was seven fold as measured using a computerized video densitometric system.
  • Figure 18 shows expression of 12-LO RNA in human vascular smooth muscle cells using a similar RT-PCR procedure. Lane 5 shows expression of the expected 333 base pair 12-LO band in human vascular smooth muscle cells, while lane 3 shows an identical RNA band in samples taken from mononuclear cells. Basal expression of 12-LO in unstimulated smooth muscle cells is below the detection limit of this experiment (lane 7) . However, smooth muscle cells stimulated by All show a marked increase in 12-LO expression (lane 5) .
  • Panel B represents an ethidium bromide stain of the RT-PCR experiment showing internal marker RNA (B 2 micoglobulin) for these experiments (lanes 2, 4, 6) .
  • Figure 19 illustrates the stimulatory effect of All at 10 ⁇ 9 and 10 ⁇ 8 M on 12-HETE synthesis and release from human aortic smooth muscle cells. 12-HETE was assayed by HPLC and specific radioim unoassay.
  • FIG. 21 depicts RT-PCR Southern blot analysis showing the presence of human leukocyte type 12-LO in human aortic endothelial cells. Lane 1, cDNA positive control. Lane 2, total RNA from endothelial cells that have been treated by DNAase showing that band is not from DNA contamination and Lane 3 is total RNA from endothelial cells showing 333 base pair product. These results suggest that a 12-LO is expressed in this key vascular wall.
  • Figure 22 depicts the evidence against a 15-LO being expressed in human aortic endothelial cells.
  • 15-LO specific primers and probes revealed specific amplification of the 15-LO cDNA used as a template.
  • 15-LO RNA band is seen when RNA from endothelial cells is used. Therefore, only a leukocyte type of 12-LO is expressed in human aortic endothelial cells.
  • 12-LO gene The presence of a new form of 12-LO gene in human tissues has been described. This 12-LO gene appears to encode a protein which forms active products that mediate angiotensin II and glucose-induced vascular and probably renal actions.

Abstract

L'invention concerne la découverte d'une nouvelle forme d'ARN de 12-lipoxygénase et d'une protéine dans les muscles lisses vasculaires, mononucléés, surrénaux et dans les cellules endothéliales de l'homme. L'activation de ce processus 12-LO régule l'angiotensine II et les activités rénales et vasculaires induites par le glucose. L'invention justifie le développement des procédés pharmaceutiques ou moléculaires permettant d'inhiber le processus de la lipoxygénase récemment découvert.
