Glucuronidation of arachidonic and linoleic acid metabolites by human UDP-glucuronosyltransferases

Arachidonic acids (AA) and linoleic acids (LAs) are metabolized, in several tissues, to hydroxylated metabolites that are important mediators of many physiological and pathophysiological processes. The conjugation of leukotriene B4 (LTB4), 5-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (HETE), 12-HETE, 15-HETE, and 13-hydroxyoctadecadienoic acid (HODE) by the human UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) enzymes was investigated. All substrates tested were efficiently conjugated by human liver microsomes to polar derivatives containing the glucuronyl moiety as assessed by mass spectrometry. The screening analyses with stably expressed UGT enzymes in HK293 showed that glucuronidation of LTB4 was observed with UGT1A1, UGT1A3, UGT1A8, and UGT2B7, whereas UGT1A1, UGT1A3, UGT1A4, and UGT1A9 also conjugated most of the HETEs and 13-HODE. LA and AA metabolites also appear to be good substrates for the UGT2B subfamily members, especially for UGT2B4 and UGT2B7 that conjugate all HETE and 13-HODE. Interestingly, UGT2B10 and UGT2B11, which are considered as orphan enzymes since no conjugation activity has so far been demonstrated with these enzymes, conjugated 12-HETE, 15-HETE, and 13-HODE.In summary, our data showed that several members of UGT1A and UGT2B families are capable of converting LA and AA metabolites into glucuronide derivatives, which is considered an irreversible step to inactivation and elimination of endogenous substances from the body.

Linoleic acid (LA), an 18-carbon fatty acid, is an abundant polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) in phospholipids, the major component of the lipid bilayer of cell membranes (1Gottard S. Relevance of fatty acid and eicosanoids to clinical and preventive medicine.Prog. Lipid Res. 1986; 25: 1-4Google Scholar). Arachidonic acid (AA), a 20-carbon fatty acid, is also present in substantial amounts in cellular membranes and is produced from LA by chain elongation and desaturation (1Gottard S. Relevance of fatty acid and eicosanoids to clinical and preventive medicine.Prog. Lipid Res. 1986; 25: 1-4Google Scholar, 2Chaudry A.A. Wahle K.W. McClinton S. Moffat L.E. Arachidonic acid metabolism in benign and malignant prostatic tissue in vitro: effects of fatty acids and cyclooxygenase inhibitors.Int. J. Cancer. 1994; 57: 176-180Google Scholar). These two PUFAs are further converted into a) prostaglandins or thromboxanes by cyclooxygenases and/or b) hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (HETEs), leukotrienes, or 13-hydroxyoctadecadieneoic acid (13-HODE) by lipoxygenases (Fig. 1)(3Nie D. Che M. Grignon D. Tang K. Honn K.V. Role of eicosanoids in prostate cancer progression.Cancer Metastasis Rev. 2001; 20: 195-206Google Scholar). The hydroxylated metabolites of LA and AA are important mediators of many physiological and pathophysiological processes (3Nie D. Che M. Grignon D. Tang K. Honn K.V. Role of eicosanoids in prostate cancer progression.Cancer Metastasis Rev. 2001; 20: 195-206Google Scholar). For instance, prostaglandins, the products of cyclooxygenases, regulate vascular homeostasis, kidney function, ovulation, and parturition (4Vane J.R. Bakhle Y.S. Botting R.M. Cyclooxygenases 1 and 2.Annu. Rev. Pharmacol. Toxicol. 1998; 38: 97-120Google Scholar). Although the physiological functions of HETE, the hydroxylated metabolites of AA, are not fully characterized, accumulating evidence indicates that they are involved in a wide spectrum of biological activities, such as platelet activation and aggregation, immune system activity, cell differentiation, and apoptosis (5Paubert-Braquet M. Mencia Huerta J.M. Cousse H. Braquet P.

The products of cyclooxygenases and lipoxygenases have also been implicated in several forms of epithelial cell cancers, especially in prostate cancer, for which recent results indicate that they are important angiogenic and mitogenic factors (3Nie D.

Although the catabolism of these PUFAs involves several P450 enzymes, the significant contribution of glucuronidation in their clearance has been recently established (12Wheelan P. Hankin J.A.

This conjugation reaction is catalyzed by UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs), a family of endoplasmic reticulum membrane-bound enzymes that transfer the glucuronic moiety from the UDP-glucuronic acid (UDPGA) to a wide variety of small lipophilic molecules carrying a functional group containing oxygen, nitrogen, or sulfur (21Dutton G.J. Glucuronidation of Drugs and Other Compounds. CRC Press, Boca Raton, FL1980Google Scholar). Conjugation by UGT enzymes is also an important pathway of elimination for several endogenous compounds, namely steroids, thyroid hormones, retinoic acids, and bilirubin. Based on amino acid sequence homology, UGT enzymes have been classified into two families, UGT1 and UGT2 (22Mackenzie P.I. Owens I.S. Burchell B. Bock K.W. Bairoch A. A. S. M. T. D. P. J. J.R. H.
