Tran M, Stanger L, Narendra S, Holinstat M, Holman TR. Investigating the catalytic efficiency of C22-Fatty acids with LOX human isozymes and the platelet response of the C22-oxylipin products. Arch Biochem Biophys 2023; 747:109742. [PMID: 37696384 PMCID: PMC10821779 DOI: 10.1016/j.abb.2023.109742] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/07/2023] [Revised: 08/28/2023] [Accepted: 09/05/2023] [Indexed: 09/13/2023]
Abstract
Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) have been extensively studied for their health benefits because they can be oxidized by lipoxygenases to form bioactive oxylipins. In this study, we investigated the impact of double bond placement on the kinetic properties and product profiles of human platelet 12-lipoxygenase (h12-LOX), human reticulocyte 15-lipoxygenase-1 (h15-LOX-1), and human endothelial 15-lipoxygenase-2 (h15-LOX-2) by using 22-carbon (C22) fatty acid substrates with differing double bond content. With respect to kcat/KM values, the loss of Δ4 and Δ19 led to an 18-fold loss of kinetic activity for h12-LOX, no change in kinetic capability for h15-LOX-1, but a 24-fold loss for h15-LOX-2 for both C22-FAs. With respect to the product profiles, h12-LOX produced mainly 14-oxylipins. For h15-LOX-1, the 14-oxylipin production increased with the loss of either Δ4 and Δ19, however, the 17-oxylipin became the major species upon loss of both Δ4 and Δ19. h15-LOX-2 produced mostly the 17-oxylipin products throughout the fatty acid series. This study also investigated the effects of various 17-oxylipins on platelet activation. The results revealed that both 17(S)-hydroxy-4Z,7Z,10Z,13Z,15E,19Z-DHA (17-HDHA) and 17-hydroxy-4Z,7Z,10Z,13Z,15E-DPAn6 (17-HDPAn6) demonstrated anti-aggregation properties with thrombin or collagen stimulation. 17-hydroxy-7Z,10Z,13Z,15E,19Z-DPAn3 (17-HDPAn3) exhibited agonistic properties, and 17-hydroxy-7Z,10Z,13Z,15E-DTA (17-HDTA) showed biphasic effects, inhibiting collagen-induced aggregation at lower concentrationsbut promoting aggregation at higher concentrations. Both 17-hydroxy-13Z,15E,19Z-DTrA (17-HDTrA), and 17-hydroxy-13Z,15E-DDiA (17-HDDiA) induced platelet aggregation. In summary, the number and placement of the double bonds affect platelet activation, with the general trend being that more double bonds generally inhibit aggregation, while less double bonds promote aggregation. These findings provide insights into the potential role of specific fatty acids and their metabolizing LOX isozymes with respect to cardiovascular health.

Abstract
Maresins are lipid mediators derived from omega-3 fatty acids with anti-inflammatory and pro-resolving properties, capable of promoting tissue regeneration and potentially serving as a therapeutic agent for chronic inflammatory diseases. The aim of this review was to systematically investigate preclinical and clinical studies on maresin to inform translational research. Two independent reviewers performed comprehensive searches with the term "Maresin (NOT) Review" on PubMed. A total of 137 studies were included and categorized into 11 human organ systems. Data pertinent to clinical translation were specifically extracted, including delivery methods, optimal dose response, and specific functional efficacy. Maresins generally exhibit efficacy in treating inflammatory diseases, attenuating inflammation, protecting organs, and promoting tissue regeneration, mostly in rodent preclinical models. The nervous system has the highest number of original studies (n = 25), followed by the cardiovascular system, digestive system, and respiratory system, each having the second highest number of studies (n = 18) in the field. Most studies considered systemic delivery with an optimal dose response for mouse animal models ranging from 4 to 25 μg/kg or 2 to 200 ng via intraperitoneal or intravenous injection respectively, whereas human in vitro studies ranged between 1 and 10 nM. Although there has been no human interventional clinical trial yet, the levels of MaR1 in human tissue fluid can potentially serve as biomarkers, including salivary samples for predicting the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases and periodontal diseases; plasma and synovial fluid levels of MaR1 can be associated with treatment response and defining pathotypes of rheumatoid arthritis. Maresins exhibit great potency in resolving disease inflammation and bridging tissue regeneration in preclinical models, and future translational development is warranted.

Abstract
Platelets are small, anucleate cells in the blood that play a crucial role in the hemostatic response but are also implicated in the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease. It is widely appreciated that polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) play an integral role in the function and regulation of platelets. PUFAs are substrates for oxygenase enzymes cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1), 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX), 12-lipoxygenase (12-LOX) and 15-lipoxygenase (15-LOX). These enzymes generate oxidized lipids (oxylipins) that exhibit either pro- or anti-thrombotic effects. Although the effects of certain oxylipins, such as thromboxanes and prostaglandins, have been studied for decades, only one oxylipin has been therapeutically targeted to treat cardiovascular disease. In addition to the well-known oxylipins, newer oxylipins that demonstrate activity in the platelet have been discovered, further highlighting the expansive list of bioactive lipids that can be used to develop novel therapeutics. This review outlines the known oxylipins, their activity in the platelet, and current therapeutics that target oxylipin signaling.

Abstract
Human lipoxygenase 12 (hALOX12) catalyzes the conversion of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) into mainly 14S-hydroperoxy-4Z,7Z,10Z,12E,16Z,19Z-docosahexaenoic acid (14S-H(p)DHA). This hydroperoxidation reaction is followed by an epoxidation and hydrolysis process that finally leads to maresin 1 (MaR1), a potent bioactive specialized pro-resolving mediator (SPM) in chronic inflammation resolution. By combining docking, molecular dynamics simulations, and quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics calculations, we have computed the potential energy profile of DHA hydroperoxidation in the active site of hALOX12. Our results describe the structural evolution of the molecular system at each step of this catalytic reaction pathway. Noteworthy, the required stereospecificity of the reaction leading to MaR1 is explained by the configurations adopted by DHA bound to hALOX12, along with the stereochemistry of the pentadienyl radical formed after the first step of the mechanism. In pig lipoxygenase 15 (pigALOX15-mini-LOX), our calculations suggest that 14S-H(p)DHA can be formed, but with a stereochemistry that is inadequate for MaR1 biosynthesis.

Abstract
The most severe clinical manifestations of the horrifying COVID-19 disease, that claimed millions of lives during the pandemic time, were Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), Coagulopathies, septic shock leading eventually to death. ARDS was a consequence of Cytokine storm. The viral SARS-COV2infection lead to avalanche of cytokines and eicosanoids causing "cytokine storm" and "eicosanoid storm." Cytokine storm is one of the macrophage-derived inflammatory responses triggered by binding of virus particles to ACE2 receptors of alveolar macrophages, arise mainly due to over production of various pro-inflammatory mediators like cytokines, e.g., interleukin (IL)-1, IL-2, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)- α, causing pulmonary edema, acute respiratory distress, and multi-organ failure. Cytokine storm was regarded as the predictor of severity of the disease and was deemed one of the causes of the high mortality rates due to the COVID-19. The basis of cytokine storm is imbalanced switching between an inflammation increasing - pro-inflammatory (M1) and an inflammation regulating-anti-inflammatory (M2) forms of alveolar macrophages which further deteriorates if opportunistic secondary bacterial infections prevail in the lungs. Lack of sufficient knowledge regarding the virus and its influence on co-morbidities, clinical treatment of the diseases included exorbitant use of antibiotics to mitigate secondary bacterial infections, which led to the unwarranted development of multidrug resistance (MDR) among the population across the globe. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) needs to be addressed from various perspectives as it may deprive future generations of the basic health immunity. Specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs) are generated from the stereoselective enzymatic conversions of essential fatty acids that serve as immune resolvents in controlling acute inflammatory responses. SPMs facilitate the clearance of injured tissue and cell debris, the removal of pathogens, and augment the concentration of anti-inflammatory lipid mediators. The SPMs, e.g., lipoxins, protectins, and resolvins have been implicated in exerting inhibitory influence on with cytokine storm. Experimental evidence suggests that SPMS lower antibiotic requirement. Therefore, in this review potential roles of SPMs in enhancing macrophage polarization, triggering immunological functions, hastening inflammation resolution, subsiding cytokine storm and decreasing antibiotic requirement that can reduce AMR load are discussed.

Abstract
The antiplatelet effect of polyunsaturated fatty acids is primarily attributed to its metabolism to bioactive metabolites by oxygenases, such as lipoxygenases (LOX). Platelets have demonstrated the ability to generate 15-LOX-derived metabolites (15-oxylipins); however, whether 15-LOX is in the platelet or is required for the formation of 15-oxylipins remains unclear. This study seeks to elucidate whether 15-LOX is required for the formation of 15-oxylipins in the platelet and determine their mechanistic effects on platelet reactivity. In this study, 15-HETrE, 15-HETE, and 15-HEPE attenuated collagen-induced platelet aggregation, and 15-HETrE inhibited platelet aggregation induced by different agonists. The observed anti-aggregatory effect was due to the inhibition of intracellular signaling including αIIbβ3 and protein kinase C activities, calcium mobilization, and granule secretion. While 15-HETrE inhibited platelets partially through activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor β (PPARβ), 15-HETE also inhibited platelets partially through activation of PPARα. 15-HETrE, 15-HETE, or 15-HEPE inhibited 12-LOX in vitro, with arachidonic acid as the substrate. Additionally, a 15-oxylipin-dependent attenuation of 12-HETE level was observed in platelets following ex vivo treatment with 15-HETrE, 15-HETE, or 15-HEPE. Platelets treated with DGLA formed 15-HETrE and collagen-induced platelet aggregation was attenuated only in the presence of ML355 or aspirin, but not in the presence of 15-LOX-1 or 15-LOX-2 inhibitors. Expression of 15-LOX-1, but not 15-LOX-2, was decreased in leukocyte-depleted platelets compared to non-depleted platelets. Taken together, these findings suggest that 15-oxylipins regulate platelet reactivity; however, platelet expression of 15-LOX-1 is low, suggesting that 15-oxylipins may be formed in the platelet through a 15-LOX-independent pathway.

Abstract
Human platelet 12-lipoxygenase (h12-LOX) is responsible for the formation of oxylipin products that play an important role in platelet aggregation. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of h12-LOX have been implicated in several diseases. In this study, we investigate the structural, dynamical, and functional impact of a h12-LOX SNP that generates a tyrosine-to-cysteine mutation at a buried site (Y649C h12-LOX) and was previously ascribed with reduced levels of 12(S)-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (12S-HETE) production in isolated platelets. Herein, in vitro Michaelis-Menten kinetics show reduced catalytic rates for Y649C compared to WT h12-LOX at physiological or lower temperatures. Both proteins exhibited similar melting temperatures, metal content, and oligomerization state. Liposome binding for both proteins was also dependent upon the presence of calcium, temperature, and liposome composition; however, the Y649C variant was found to have lowered binding capacity to liposomes compared to WT at physiological temperatures. Further, hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) experiments revealed a regional defined enhancement in the peptide mobility caused by the mutation. This increased instability for the mutation stemmed from a change in an interaction with an arched helix that lines the substrate binding site, located ≥15 Å from the mutation site. Finally, differential scanning calorimetry demonstrated a reduced protein (un)folding enthalpy, consistent with the HDX results. Taken together, these results demonstrate remarkable similarity between the mutant and WT h12-LOX, and yet, subtle changes in activity, membrane affinity and protein stability may be responsible for the significant physiological changes that the Y649C SNP manifests in platelet biology.

Abstract
Regulation of lipoxygenase (LOX) activity is of great interest due to the involvement of the various LOX isoforms in the inflammatory process and hence many diseases. The bulk of investigations have centered around the discovery and design of inhibitors. However, the emerging understanding of the role of h15-LOX-1 in the resolution of inflammation provides a rationale for the development of activators as well. Bicyclic pyrazolines are known bioactive molecules that have been shown to display antibiotic and anti-inflammatory activities. In the current work, we reevaluated a previously discovered bicyclic pyrazoline h15-LOX-1 activator, PKUMDL_MH_1001 (written as 1 for this publication), and determined that it is inactive against other human LOX isozymes, h5-LOX, h12-LOX, and h15-LOX-2. Analytical characterization of 1 obtained in the final synthesis step identified it as a mixture of cis- and trans-diastereomers: cis-1 (12%) and trans-1 (88%); and kinetic analysis indicated similar potency between the two. Using compound 1 as the cis-trans mixture, h15-LOX-1 catalysis with arachidonic acid (AA) (AC50 = 7.8 +/- 1 μM, A max = 240%) and linoleic acid (AC50 = 5.3 +/- 0.7 μM, A max = 98%) was activated, but not with docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) or mono-oxylipins. Steady-state kinetics demonstrate V-type activation for 1, with a β value of 2.2 +/- 0.4 and an K x of 16 +/- 1 μM. Finally, it is demonstrated that the mechanism of activation for 1 is likely not due to decreasing substrate inhibition, as was postulated previously. 1 also did not affect the activity of the h15-LOX-1 selective inhibitor, ML351, nor did 1 affect the activity of allosteric effectors, such as 12S-hydroxy-5Z,8Z,10E,14Z-eicosatetraenoic acid (12S-HETE) and 14S-hydroperoxy-4Z,7Z,10Z,12E,16Z,19Z-docosahexaenoic acid (14S-HpDHA). These data confirm that 1 binds to a distinct activation binding site, as previously postulated. Future work should be aimed at the development of selective activators that are capable of activating h15-LOX-1 catalysis with DHA, thus enhancing the production of DHA-derived pro-resolution biomolecules.

Clin Transl Sci 2022; 15:2378-2391. [PMID: 35791734 PMCID: PMC9579391 DOI: 10.1111/cts.13366] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/18/2022] [Revised: 06/18/2022] [Accepted: 06/26/2022] [Indexed: 01/25/2023] Open
Abstract
Postmenopausal women are at increased risk for a cardiovascular event due to platelet hyperactivity. There is evidence suggesting that ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and ω-6 PUFAs have cardioprotective effects in these women. However, a mechanistic understanding of how these fatty acids regulate platelet function is unknown. In this study, we supplemented postmenopausal women with fish oil (ω-3 fatty acids) or evening primrose oil (ω-6 fatty acids) and investigated the effects on their platelet activity. The effects of fatty acid supplementation on platelet aggregation, dense granule secretion, and activation of integrin αIIbβ3 at basal levels and in response to agonist were tested in postmenopausal women following a supplementation and washout period. Supplementation with fish oil or primrose oil attenuated the thrombin receptor PAR4-induced platelet aggregation. Supplementation with ω-3 or ω-6 fatty acids decreased platelet dense granule secretion and attenuated basal levels of integrin αIIbβ3 activation. Interestingly, after the washout period following supplementation with primrose oil, platelet aggregation was similarly attenuated. Additionally, for either treatment, the observed protective effects post-supplementation on platelet dense granule secretion and basal levels of integrin activation were sustained after the washout period, suggesting a long-term shift in platelet reactivity due to fatty acid supplementation. These findings begin to elucidate the underlying mechanistic effects of ω-3 and ω-6 fatty acids on platelet reactivity in postmenopausal women. Hence, this study supports the beneficial effects of fish oil or primrose oil supplementation as a therapeutic intervention to reduce the risk of thrombotic events in postmenopausal women. https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02629497.

Perry SC, van Hoorebeke C, Sorrentino J, Bautista L, Akinkugbe O, Conrad WS, Rutz N, Holman TR. Structural basis for altered positional specificity of 15-lipoxygenase-1 with 5S-HETE and 7S-HDHA and the implications for the biosynthesis of resolvin E4. Arch Biochem Biophys 2022; 727:109317. [PMID: 35709965 DOI: 10.1016/j.abb.2022.109317] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2022] [Revised: 05/30/2022] [Accepted: 06/02/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
Human 15-lipoxygenases (LOX) are critical enzymes in the inflammatory process, producing various pro-resolution molecules, such as lipoxins and resolvins, but the exact role each of the two 15-LOXs in these biosynthetic pathways remains elusive. Previously, it was observed that h15-LOX-1 reacted with 5S-HETE in a non-canonical manner, producing primarily the 5S,12S-diHETE product. To determine the active site constraints of h15-LOX-1 in achieving this reactivity, amino acids involved in the fatty acid binding were investigated. It was observed that R402L did not have a large effect on 5S-HETE catalysis, but F414 appeared to π-π stack with 5S-HETE, as seen with AA binding, indicating an aromatic interaction between a double bond of 5S-HETE and F414. Decreasing the size of F352 and I417 shifted oxygenation of 5S-HETE to C12, while increasing the size of these residues reversed the positional specificity of 5S-HETE to C15. Mutants at these locations demonstrated a similar effect with 7S-HDHA as the substrate, indicating that the depth of the active site regulates product specificity for both substrates. Together, these data indicate that of the three regions proposed to control positional specificity, π-π stacking and active site cavity depth are the primary determinants of positional specificity with 5S-HETE and h15-LOX-1. Finally, the altered reactivity of h15-LOX-1 was also observed with 5S-HEPE, producing 5S,12S-diHEPE instead of 5S,15S-diHEPE (aka resolvin E4 (RvE4). However, h15-LOX-2 efficiently produces 5S,15S-diHEPE from 5S-HEPE. This result is important with respect to the biosynthesis of the RvE4 since it obscures which LOX isozyme is involved in its biosynthesis. Future work detailing the expression levels of the lipoxygenase isoforms in immune cells and selective inhibition during the inflammatory response will be required for a comprehensive understanding of RvE4 biosynthesis.

Abstract
Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are structural components of membrane phospholipids in cells. PUFAs regulate cellular function through the formation of derived lipid mediators termed eicosanoids. The oxygenation of 20-carbon PUFAs via the oxygenases cyclooxygenases, lipoxygenases, or cytochrome P450, generates a class of classical eicosanoids including prostaglandins, thromboxanes and leukotrienes, and also the more recently identified hydroxy-, hydroperoxy-, epoxy- and oxo-eicosanoids, and the specialized pro-resolving (lipid) mediators. These eicosanoids play a critical role in the regulation of inflammation in the blood and the vessel. While arachidonic acid-derived eicosanoids are extensively studied due to their pro-inflammatory effects and therefore involvement in the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases such as atherosclerosis, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and the coronavirus disease 2019; in recent years, several eicosanoids have been reported to attenuate exacerbated inflammatory responses and participate in the resolution of inflammation. This review focused on elucidating the biosynthesis and the mechanistic signaling of eicosanoids in inflammation, as well as the pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory effects of these eicosanoids in the blood and the vascular wall.

Abstract
A precision medicine approach is widely acknowledged to yield more effective therapeutic strategies in the treatment of patients with chronic inflammatory conditions than the prescriptive paradigm currently utilized in the management and treatment of these patients. This is because such an approach will take into consideration relevant factors including the likelihood that a patient will respond to given therapeutics based on their disease phenotype. Unfortunately, the application of this precision medicine paradigm in the daily treatment of patients has been greatly hampered by the lack of robust biomarkers, in particular biomarkers for determining early treatment responsiveness. Lipid mediators are central in the regulation of host immune responses during both the initiation and resolution of inflammation. Amongst lipid mediators, the specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPM) govern immune cells to promote the resolution of inflammation. These autacoids are produced via the stereoselective conversion of essential fatty acids to yield molecules that are dynamically regulated during inflammation and exert potent immunoregulatory activities. Furthermore, there is an increasing appreciation for the role that these mediators play in conveying the biological actions of several anti-inflammatory therapeutics, including statins and aspirin. Identification and quantitation of these mediators has traditionally been achieved using hyphenated mass spectrometric techniques, primarily liquid-chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. Recent advances in the field of chromatography and mass spectrometry have increased both the robustness and the sensitivity of this approach and its potential deployment for routine clinical diagnostics. In the present review, we explore the evidence supporting a role for specific SPM as potential biomarkers for patient stratification in distinct disease settings together with methodologies employed in the identification and quantitation of these autacoids.

Abstract
Previous comparative kinetic isotope effects have inferred an allosteric site for fatty acids and their derivatives that modulates substrate selectivity in 15-lipoxygenases. Hydrogen-deuterium exchange also previously revealed regionally defined enhanced protein flexibility, centred at helix α2 - a gate to the substrate entrance. Direct evidence for allosteric binding and a complete understanding of its mechanism remains elusive. In this study, we examine the binding thermodynamics of the fatty acid mimic, oleyl sulfate (OS), with the monomeric model plant 15-LOX, soybean lipoxygenase (SLO), using isothermal titration calorimetry. Dynamic light scattering and differential scanning calorimetry rule out OS-induced oligomerization or structural changes. These data provide evidence that the fatty acid allosteric regulation of SLO is controlled by the dynamics of helix α2.

Abstract
Recent investigations into the regulation of the inflammation in the periodontitis have revealed that chronic inflammatory diseases such as periodontitis are characterized by an imbalance in the proinflammatory and proresolution mediators and can be characterized by a failure of the resolution pathways in the late stages of the acute inflammatory response. The proresolution mediators, termed as specialized proresolving mediators (SPMs), comprise the lipoxins, resolvins, protectins, and maresins that are derived from the arachidonic acid or omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. In the animal studies, treatment of the periodontitis with the topical SPMs return the inflammatory lesion to the homeostasis with the regeneration of all the components of the periodontal organ lost to the disease. In this article, the study investigates the immunomodulatory role of SPMs in the periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs). Primary porcine PDLSCs (pPDLSCs) were stimulated with interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and interleukin-17 (IL-17) in vitro to simulate the periodontal inflammation in the presence or absence of SPMs. This study found that IL-1β and IL-17 synergistically activated the proinflammatory genes of pPDLSCs and altered the immune phenotype of pPDLSCs including the key signaling pathways. Addition of SPMs rescued the pPDLSCs phenotype and induced further production of the additional SPMs, which was reflected by upregulation of the requisite enzymes 12- and 15-lipoxygenase by pPDLSCs. This study interrogated the immunomodulatory actions of pPDLSCs on the monocytes/macrophages, focusing on the porcine CD14/CD16/CD163 markers by using flow cytometry. This study utilized the CD14+CD16+/CD14+CD16− ratio and CD163 on the monocytes/macrophages to differentiate between a proinflammation phenotype (lower ratio) and a resolution of the inflammation phenotype (higher ratio). This study also found that the conditioned medium from pPDLSCs treated with the cytokines and Maresin1 increased the CD14+CD16+/CD14+CD16− ratio and had the highest CD163 expression. This study concludes that in an inflammatory environment, pPDLSCs become proinflammatory and exert immunomodulatory functions. Maresin 1 resolves the inflammation by acting on pPDLSCs directly and by shifting the monocytes/macrophages phenotype to the proresolution dominance.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Lipid mediators are bioactive lipids which help regulate inflammation. We aimed to develop an ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) method to quantify 58 pro-inflammatory and pro-resolving lipid mediators in plasma, determine preliminary reference ranges for adolescents, and investigate how total parenteral nutrition (TPN) containing omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (n-3 PUFA) or n-6 PUFA based lipid emulsions influence lipid mediator concentrations in plasma. METHODS Lipid mediators were extracted from plasma using SPE and measured using UHPLC-MS/MS. EDTA plasma was collected from healthy adolescents between 13 and 17 years of age to determine preliminary reference ranges and from mice given intravenous TPN for seven days containing either an n-3 PUFA or n-6 PUFA based lipid emulsion. RESULTS We successfully quantified 43 lipid mediators in human plasma with good precision and recovery including several leukotrienes, prostaglandins, resolvins, protectins, maresins, and lipoxins. We found that the addition of methanol to human plasma after blood separation reduces post blood draw increases in 12-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (12-HETE), 12-hydroxyeicosapentaenoic acid (12-HEPE), 12S-hydroxyeicosatrienoic acid (12S-HETrE), 14-hydroxydocosahexaenoic acid (14-HDHA) and thromboxane B2 (TXB2). Compared to the n-6 PUFA based TPN, the n-3 PUFA based TPN increased specialized pro-resolving mediators such as maresin 1 (MaR1), MaR2, protectin D1 (PD1), PDX, and resolvin D5 (RvD5), and decreased inflammatory lipid mediators such as leukotriene B4 (LTB4) and prostaglandin D2 (PGD2). CONCLUSIONS Our method provides an accurate and sensitive quantification of 58 lipid mediators from plasma samples, which we used to establish a preliminary reference range for lipid mediators in plasma samples of adolescents; and to show that n-3 PUFA, compared to n-6 PUFA rich TPN, leads to a less inflammatory lipid mediator profile in mice.

Abstract
Oxylipins derived mainly from C20- and C22-polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), termed lipid mediators (LMs), are essential signalling messengers involved in human physiological responses associated with homeostasis and healing process for infection and inflammation. Some LMs involved in the resolution of inflammation and infection are termed specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs), which are generated by human M2 macrophages or polymorphonuclear leukocytes and have the potential to protect and treat hosts from bacterial and viral infections by phagocytosis activation. Lipoxygenases (LOXs) biosynthesize regio- and stereoselective LMs. Thus, understanding the regio- and stereoselectivities of LOXs for PUFAs at a molecular level is important for the biocatalytic synthesis of diverse LMs. Here, we elucidate the catalytic mechanisms and discuss regio- and stereoselectivities and their changes of LOXs determined by insertion direction and position of the substrate and oxygen at a molecular level for the biosynthesis of diverse human LMs. Recently, the biocatalytic synthesis of PUFAs to human LMs or analogues has been conducted using microbial LOXs. Such microbial LOXs involved in the biosynthesis of LMs are expected to exert significantly higher activity and stability than human LOXs. Diverse regio- and stereoselective LOXs can be obtained from microorganisms, which represent a wealth of genomic sources. We reconstruct the biosynthetic pathways of LOX-catalyzed LMs in humans and other organisms. Furthermore, we suggest the effective methods of biocatalytic synthesis of diverse human LMs from PUFAs or glucose by using microbial LOXs, increasing the stability and activity of LOXs, combining the reactions of LOXs, and constructing metabolic pathways.

Abstract
In this paper, human platelet 12-lipoxygenase [h12-LOX (ALOX12)], human reticulocyte 15-lipoxygenase-1 [h15-LOX-1 (ALOX15)], and human epithelial 15-lipoxygenase-2 [h15-LOX-2 (ALOX15B)] were observed to react with docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and produce 17S-hydroperoxy-4Z,7Z,10Z,13Z,15E,19Z-docosahexaenoic acid (17S-HpDHA). The kcat/KM values with DHA for h12-LOX, h15-LOX-1, and h15-LOX-2 were 12, 0.35, and 0.43 s-1 μM-1, respectively, which demonstrate h12-LOX as the most efficient of the three. These values are comparable to their counterpart kcat/KM values with arachidonic acid (AA), 14, 0.98, and 0.24 s-1 μM-1, respectively. Comparison of their product profiles with DHA demonstrates that the three LOX isozymes produce 11S-HpDHA, 14S-HpDHA, and 17S-HpDHA, to varying degrees, with 17S-HpDHA being the majority product only for the 15-LOX isozymes. The effective kcat/KM values (kcat/KM × percent product formation) for 17S-HpDHA of the three isozymes indicate that the in vitro value of h12-LOX was 2.8-fold greater than that of h15-LOX-1 and 1.3-fold greater than that of h15-LOX-2. 17S-HpDHA was an effective substrate for h12-LOX and h15-LOX-1, with four products being observed under reducing conditions: protectin DX (PDX), 16S,17S-epoxy-4Z,7Z,10Z,12E,14E,19Z-docosahexaenoic acid (16S,17S-epoxyDHA), the key intermediate in neuroprotection D1 biosynthesis [NPD1, also known as protectin D1 (PD1)], 11,17S-diHDHA, and 16,17S-diHDHA. However, h15-LOX-2 did not react with 17-HpDHA. With respect to their effective kcat/KM values, h12-LOX was markedly less effective than h15-LOX-1 in reacting with 17S-HpDHA, with a 55-fold lower effective kcat/KM in producing 16S,17S-epoxyDHA and a 27-fold lower effective kcat/KM in generating PDX. This is the first direct demonstration of h15-LOX-1 catalyzing this reaction and reveals an in vitro pathway for PDX and NPD1 intermediate biosynthesis. In addition, epoxide formation from 17S-HpDHA and h15-LOX-1 was negatively affected via allosteric regulation by 17S-HpDHA (Kd = 5.9 μM), 12S-hydroxy-5Z,8Z,10E,14Z-eicosatetraenoic acid (12S-HETE) (Kd = 2.5 μM), and 17S-hydroxy-13Z,15E,19Z-docosatrienoic acid (17S-HDTA) (Kd = 1.4 μM), suggesting a possible regulatory pathway in reducing epoxide formation. Finally, 17S-HpDHA and PDX inhibited platelet aggregation, with EC50 values of approximately 1 and 3 μM, respectively. The in vitro results presented here may help advise in vivo PDX and NPD1 intermediate (i.e., 16S,17S-epoxyDHA) biosynthetic investigations and support the benefits of DHA rich diets.

A proposed beneficial impact of highly unsaturated “fish oil” fatty acids is their conversion by lipoxygenase (LOX) enzymes to specialized proresolving lipid mediators, including 12/15-LOX products from EPA and DHA. The transformations of DHA include formation of docosatrienes, named for the distinctive conjugated triene of the double bonds. To further the understanding of biosynthetic pathways and mechanisms, herein we meld together biosynthesis and NMR characterization of the unstable leukotriene A (LTA)-related epoxide intermediates formed by recombinant human 15-LOX-1, along with identification of the stable enzymatic products, and extend the findings into the 12/15-LOX metabolism in resident murine peritoneal macrophages. Oxygenation of EPA by 15-LOX-1 converts the initial 15S-hydroperoxide to 14S,15S-trans-epoxy-5Z,8Z,10E,12E,17Z-EPA (appearing as its 8,15-diol hydrolysis products) and mixtures of dihydroperoxy fatty acids, while mainly the epoxide hydrolysis products are evident in the murine cells. DHA also undergoes transformations to epoxides and dihydroperoxides by 15-LOX-1, resulting in a mixture of 10,17-dihydro(pero)xy derivatives (docosatrienes) and minor 7S,17S- and 14,17S-dihydroperoxides. The 10,17S-dihydroxy hydrolysis products of the LTA-related epoxide intermediate dominate the product profile in mouse macrophages, whereas (neuro)protectin D1, the leukotriene B4-related derivative with trans,trans,cis conjugated triene, was undetectable. In this study, we emphasize the utility of UV spectral characteristics for product identification, being diagnostic of the different double bond configurations and hydroxy fatty acid functionality versus hydroperoxide. LC-MS is not definitive for configurational isomers. Secure identification is based on chromatographic retention times, comparison with authentic standards, and the highly distinctive UV spectra.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The effects of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) on cardiovascular disease are controversial and a mechanistic understanding of how this omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (ω-3 PUFA) regulates platelet reactivity and the subsequent risk of a thrombotic event is warranted. In platelets, DHA is oxidized by 12-lipoxygenase (12-LOX) producing the oxidized lipids (oxylipins) 11-HDHA and 14-HDHA. We hypothesized that 12-LOX DHA-oxylipins may be involved in the beneficial effects observed in dietary supplemental treatment with ω-3 PUFAs or DHA itself. OBJECTIVES To determine the effects of DHA, 11-HDHA, and 14-HDHA on platelet function and thrombus formation, and to elucidate the mechanism by which these ω-3 PUFAs regulate platelet activation. METHODS AND RESULTS DHA, 11-HDHA, and 14-HDHA attenuated collagen-induced human platelet aggregation, but only the oxylipins inhibited ⍺IIbβ3 activation and decreased ⍺-granule secretion. Furthermore, treatment of whole blood with DHA and its oxylipins impaired platelet adhesion and accumulation to a collagen-coated surface. Interestingly, thrombus formation was only diminished in mice treated with 11-HDHA or 14-HDHA, and mouse platelet activation was inhibited following acute treatment with these oxylipins or chronic treatment with DHA, suggesting that under physiologic conditions, the effects of DHA are mediated through its oxylipins. Finally, the protective mechanism of DHA oxylipins was shown to be mediated via activation of protein kinase A. CONCLUSIONS This study provides the first mechanistic evidence of how DHA and its 12-LOX oxylipins inhibit platelet activity and thrombus formation. These findings support the beneficial effects of DHA as therapeutic intervention in atherothrombotic diseases.

Abstract
Chronic inflammation is now widely recognized to play important roles in many commonly occurring diseases, including COVID-19. The resolution response to this chronic inflammation is an active process governed by specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs) like the lipid mediators known as lipoxins. The biosynthesis of lipoxins is catalyzed by several lipoxygenases (LOXs) from arachidonic acid. However, the molecular details of the mechanisms involved are not well known yet. In this paper, we have combined molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) calculations to analyze how reticulocyte 15-LOX-1 catalyzes the production of lipoxins from 5(S),15(S)-diHpETE. Our results indicate that the dehydration mechanism from 5(S),15(S)-diHpETE, via the formation of an epoxide, presents huge energy barriers even though it was one of the two a priori synthetic proposals. This result is compatible with the fact that no epoxide has been directly detected as an intermediate in the catalytic formation of lipoxins from 5(S),15(S)-diHpETE. Conversely, the oxygenation of 5(S),15(S)-diHpETE at C14 is feasible because there is an open channel connecting the protein surface with this carbon atom, and the energy barrier for oxygen addition through this channel is small. The analysis of the following steps of this mechanism, leading to the corresponding hydroperoxide at the 15-LOX-1 active site, indicates that the oxygenation mechanism will lead to the formation of lipoxinB4 after the final action of a reductase. In contrast, our calculations are in agreement with experiments that lipoxinA4 cannot derive from 5(S),15(S)-diHpETE by either of the two proposed mechanisms and that 5(S),15(S)-diHETE is not an intermediate of lipoxin biosynthesis catalyzed by 15-LOX-1.

Abstract
Metal nanoparticles (AgNPs and ZnONPs) were synthesized using a green methodology with the green leaves extract of the Bedu (Ficus palmata) tree as a reducing agent and the support of natural fibers. The synthesized AgNPs and ZnONPs were characterized by several techniques, including ultraviolet-visible spectral analysis, powder X-ray diffraction crystal analysis, scanning electron microscopy, EDAX, transmission electron microscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, which confirmed that the synthesized particles are in the nano range (1-100 nm), i.e., 30 nm for AgNPs with polydispersity and a spherical shape, whereas the average size of synthesized ZnONPs is 34 nm and they seem to exhibit a distorted spherical shape. The results of thermogravimetric analysis confirmed a weight loss of 18.02% for AgNPs under exothermic conditions due to the desorption of water, and ZnONPs show weight loss between 265 and 500 °C. Both synthesized MNPs are highly thermally stable. Anti-inflammatory and anti-diabetic studies of metal NPs have been evaluated. The AgNPs and ZnONPs of F. palmata leaves showed remarkably highly potent activity for respective strains. In vitro anti-diabetic activity was found for inhibition of α-amylases and α-glucosidases by synthesized silver nanoparticles.

Abstract
Lipoxygenases (LOXs) catalyze the (per) oxidation of fatty acids that serve as important mediators for cell signaling and inflammation. These reactions are initiated by a C-H activation step that is allosterically regulated in plant and animal enzymes. LOXs from higher eukaryotes are equipped with an N-terminal PLAT (Polycystin-1, Lipoxygenase, Alpha-Toxin) domain that has been implicated to bind to small molecule allosteric effectors, which in turn modulate substrate specificity and the rate-limiting steps of catalysis. Herein, the kinetic and structural evidence that describes the allosteric regulation of plant and animal lipoxygenase chemistry by fatty acids and their derivatives are summarized.

J Lipid Res 2020; 61:1087-1103.

Abstract
The two oxylipins 7S,14S-dihydroxydocosahexaenoic acid (diHDHA) and 7S,17S-diHDHA [resolvin D5 (RvD5)] have been found in macrophages and infectious inflammatory exudates and are believed to function as specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs). Their biosynthesis is thought to proceed through sequential oxidations of DHA by lipoxygenase (LOX) enzymes, specifically, by human 5-LOX (h5-LOX) first to 7(S)-hydroxy-4Z,8E,10Z,13Z,16Z,19Z-DHA (7S-HDHA), followed by human platelet 12-LOX (h12-LOX) to form 7(S),14(S)-dihydroxy-4Z,8E,10Z,12E,16Z,19Z-DHA (7S,14S-diHDHA) or human reticulocyte 15-LOX-1 (h15-LOX-1) to form RvD5. In this work, we determined that oxidation of 7(S)-hydroperoxy-4Z,8E,10Z,13Z,16Z,19Z-DHA to 7S,14S-diHDHA is performed with similar kinetics by either h12-LOX or h15-LOX-1. The oxidation at C14 of DHA by h12-LOX was expected, but the noncanonical reaction of h15-LOX-1 to make over 80% 7S,14S-diHDHA was larger than expected. Results of computer modeling suggested that the alcohol on C7 of 7S-HDHA hydrogen bonds with the backbone carbonyl of Ile399, forcing the hydrogen abstraction from C12 to oxygenate on C14 but not C17. This result raised questions regarding the synthesis of RvD5. Strikingly, we found that h15-LOX-2 oxygenates 7S-HDHA almost exclusively at C17, forming RvD5 with faster kinetics than does h15-LOX-1. The presence of h15-LOX-2 in neutrophils and macrophages suggests that it may have a greater role in biosynthesizing SPMs than previously thought. We also determined that the reactions of h5-LOX with 14(S)-hydroperoxy-4Z,7Z,10Z,12E,16Z,19Z-DHA and 17(S)-hydroperoxy-4Z,7Z,10Z,13Z,15E,19Z-DHA are kinetically slow compared with DHA, suggesting that these reactions may be minor biosynthetic routes in vivo. Additionally, we show that 7S,14S-diHDHA and RvD5 have anti-aggregation properties with platelets at low micromolar potencies, which could directly regulate clot resolution.
