Identification of a novel prostaglandin f(2alpha) synthase in Trypanosoma brucei.

Members of the genus Trypanosoma cause African trypanosomiasis in humans and animals in Africa. Infection of mammals by African trypanosomes is characterized by an upregulation of prostaglandin (PG) production in the plasma and cerebrospinal fluid. These metabolites of arachidonic acid (AA) may, in part, be responsible for symptoms such as fever, headache, immunosuppression, deep muscle hyperaesthesia, miscarriage, ovarian dysfunction, sleepiness, and other symptoms observed in patients with chronic African trypanosomiasis. Here, we show that the protozoan parasite T. brucei is involved in PG production and that it produces PGs enzymatically from AA and its metabolite, PGH(2). Among all PGs synthesized, PGF(2alpha) was the major prostanoid produced by trypanosome lysates. We have purified a novel T. brucei PGF(2alpha) synthase (TbPGFS) and cloned its cDNA. Phylogenetic analysis and molecular properties revealed that TbPGFS is completely distinct from mammalian PGF synthases. We also found that TbPGFS mRNA expression and TbPGFS activity were high in the early logarithmic growth phase and low during the stationary phase. The characterization of TbPGFS and its gene in T. brucei provides a basis for the molecular analysis of the role of parasite-derived PGF(2alpha) in the physiology of the parasite and the pathogenesis of African trypanosomiasis. << Less

Synthesis of prostaglandin F ethanolamide by prostaglandin F synthase and identification of Bimatoprost as a potent inhibitor of the enzyme: new enzyme assay method using LC/ESI/MS.
Koda N., Tsutsui Y., Niwa H., Ito S., Woodward D.F., Watanabe K.
Prostaglandin (PG) D(2) ethanolamide (prostamide D(2)) was reduced to 9alpha,11beta-PGF(2) ethanolamide (9alpha,11beta-prostamide F(2)) by PGF synthase, which also catalyzes the reduction of PGH(2) and PGD(2) to PGF(2alpha) and 9alpha,11beta-PGF(2), respectively. These enzyme activities were measu ... >> More
Prostaglandin (PG) D(2) ethanolamide (prostamide D(2)) was reduced to 9alpha,11beta-PGF(2) ethanolamide (9alpha,11beta-prostamide F(2)) by PGF synthase, which also catalyzes the reduction of PGH(2) and PGD(2) to PGF(2alpha) and 9alpha,11beta-PGF(2), respectively. These enzyme activities were measured by a new method, the liquid chromatographic-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (LC/ESI/MS) technique, which could simultaneously detect the substrate and all products. PGF(2alpha), 9alpha,11beta-PGF(2), PGD(2), PGH(2), 9alpha,11beta-prostamide F(2), and prostamide D(2) were separated on a TSKgel ODS 80Ts column, ionized by electrospray, and detected in the negative mode. Selected ion monitoring (SIM) of m/z 353 ([M-H](-)), 353 ([M-H](-)), 351 ([M-H](-)), 333 ([M-H-H(2)O](-)), 456 ([M+59](-)), and m/z 358 ([M-37](-)) was used for quantifying PGF(2alpha), 9alpha,11beta-PGF(2), PGD(2), PGH(2), 9alpha,11beta-prostamide F(2), and prostamide D(2), respectively. The detection limit for PGF(2alpha) and 9alpha,11beta-PGF(2) was 0.01pmol; that for PGH(2) and PGD(2), 0.1pmol; and that for prostamide D(2) and 9alpha,11beta-prostamide F(2), 0.5 and 0.03pmol, respectively. The LC/ESI/MS technique for measuring PGF synthase activity showed higher sensitivity than other methods. Using this method, we found that Bimatoprost, the ethyl amide analog of 17-phenyl-trinor PGF(2alpha) and an anti-glaucoma agent, inhibited all three reductase activities of PGF synthase when used at a low concentration. These results suggest that Bimatoprost also behaves as a potent PGF synthase inhibitor in addition to having prostamide-like activity. << Less

Prostaglandin F2alpha synthase activities of aldo-keto reductase 1B1, 1B3 and 1B7.
Kabututu Z., Manin M., Pointud J.C., Maruyama T., Nagata N., Lambert S., Lefrancois-Martinez A.M., Martinez A., Urade Y.
Here, we show that three enzymes belonging to the 1B group of the aldo-keto reductase (AKR) superfamily, i.e., human placental aldose reductase (AKR1B1), mouse kidney aldose reductase (AKR1B3) and mouse vas deferens protein (AKR1B7), catalyse the reduction of prostaglandin (PG) H(2), a common inte ... >> More
Here, we show that three enzymes belonging to the 1B group of the aldo-keto reductase (AKR) superfamily, i.e., human placental aldose reductase (AKR1B1), mouse kidney aldose reductase (AKR1B3) and mouse vas deferens protein (AKR1B7), catalyse the reduction of prostaglandin (PG) H(2), a common intermediate of various prostanoids, to form PGF(2alpha) in the presence of NADPH. AKR1B1, AKR1B3 and AKR1B7 displayed higher affinities for PGH(2) (K(m) = 1.9, 9.3 and 3.8 microM, respectively) and V(max) values (26, 53 and 44 nmol/min/mg protein, respectively) than did the human lung PGF(2alpha) synthase (AKR1C3; 18 microM and 4 nmol/min/mg protein, respectively). The PGF(2alpha) synthase activity of AKR1B1 and AKR1B3 was efficiently inhibited by two AKR inhibitors, tolrestat (K(i) = 3.6 and 0.26 microM, respectively) and sorbinil (K(i) = 21.7 and 0.89 microM, respectively), in a non-competitive or mixed-type manner, whereas that of AKR1B7 was not sensitive to these inhibitors (K(i) = 9.2 and 18 mM, respectively). These data provide a molecular basis for investigating novel functional roles for AKR1B members and PGF(2alpha) as mediators of physiological and pathological processes in mammalian organisms. << Less
