Abstract
: Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (HETE) derivatives of arachidonic acid are produced in the brain and have been implicated as pathologic mediators in various types of brain injury. To understand better their fate in the brain, particularly in cerebral microvessels, several HETEs were incubated with cultured mouse cerebromicrovascular endothelium for 1, 2, and 4 h, followed by HPLC analysis of medium and cellular lipids. 5(S)‐ 8(RS)‐, and 9(RS)‐HETE were not metabolized by the cells, but were extensively incorporated, unmodified, into cell lipids. On the other hand, 11(RS)‐, 12(S)‐, and 15(S)HETE were extensively metabolized and only minimally incorporated into cell lipids. Previously, the major 12‐HETE metabolite was identified as 8‐hydroxyhexadecatrienoic acid. In the present study, we identified the major 11‐HETE metabolite as 7‐hydroxyhexadecatrienoic acid and the major 15‐HETE metabolite as 11‐hydroxyhexadecatrienoic acid. ω‐3 compounds, 15(S)‐ and (S)‐hydroxyeico‐sapentaenoic acids (HEPE), were also metabolized to more polar compounds, but to a lesser extent than their tetraenoic acid, ω‐6 counterparts. Comparison of 5‐, 12‐, and 15‐HETE enantiomers revealed no differences in metabolism or incorporation between the R and S stereoisomers. These data suggest that many isomers of HETE and HEPE can be incorporated into cell lipids or metabolized by pathways that do not distinguish between enantiomers. These pathways, however, are sensitive to the position or number of double bonds and are selective based on the position of the hydroxyl group.
