5-Oxo-6,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoic acid (5-oxo-ETE)
is a metabolite of arachidonic acid shown to possess important
biological activities within different cell types. In the neutrophil, a
specific NADP+-dependent dehydrogenase
utilizes 5-lipoxygenase-derived 5-hydroxy-6,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoic acid (5(S)-HETE) as the required substrate. In the present
study, 5-hydroperoxy-6,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoic acid (5-HpETE), rather than 5-HETE, was found to be the biosynthetic precursor of 5-oxo-ETE in
the murine macrophage. The macrophage was not able to convert 5-HETE
into 5-oxo-ETE even when preincubated with phorbol ester or with other
lipid hydroperoxides. The factor responsible for the conversion of
5-HpETE into 5-oxo-ETE was found predominantly in the cytosolic
fraction of the macrophage, with an approximate molecular weight of
50,000-60,000, as assessed by size exclusion chromatography.
Formation of 5-oxo-ETE was rapid and the catalytic protein was found to
have an apparent Km of 5.3 µM for the
eicosanoid. Furthermore, the protein could efficiently utilize 5(R,S)-HpETE as substrate and was heat and
protease labile. This novel pathway of 5-oxo-ETE biosynthesis in the
murine macrophage was consistent with reduction of a 5-hydroperoxy
group to an intermediate alkoxy radical that could be subsequently
oxidized to the 5-oxo product. Such a mechanism would enable racemic
5-HpETE, derived from free radical oxidation of arachidonic acid, to be
efficiently converted into this potent chemotactic eicosanoid.
