Prostaglandin H(1) (PGH(1)) is the cyclo-oxygenase metabolite of dihomo-γ-linolenic acid (DGLA) and the precursor for the 1-series of prostaglandins which are often viewed as "anti-inflammatory". Herein we present evidence that PGH(1) is a potent activator of the pro-inflammatory PGD(2) receptor CRTH2, an attractive therapeutic target to treat allergic diseases such as asthma and atopic dermatitis. Non-invasive, real time dynamic mass redistribution analysis of living human CRTH2 transfectants and Ca(2+) flux studies reveal that PGH(1) activates CRTH2 as PGH(2), PGD(2) or PGD(1) do. The PGH(1) precursor DGLA and the other PGH(1) metabolites did not display such effect. PGH(1) specifically internalizes CRTH2 in stable CRTH2 transfectants as assessed by antibody feeding assays. Physiological relevance of CRTH2 ligation by PGH(1) is demonstrated in several primary human hematopoietic lineages, which endogenously express CRTH2: PGH(1) mediates migration of and Ca(2+) flux in Th2 lymphocytes, shape change of eosinophils, and their adhesion to human pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells under physiological flow conditions. All these effects are abrogated in the presence of the CRTH2 specific antagonist TM30089. Together, our results identify PGH(1) as an important lipid intermediate and novel CRTH2 agonist which may trigger CRTH2 activation in vivo in the absence of functional prostaglandin D synthase. << Less

Administration of dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid is useful for atopic dermatitis and atherosclerosis in mice; however, the metabolites of dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid have been little studied. We employed a method which enabled simultaneous analysis of nine prostaglandins using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, and determined the concentrations of prostaglandins in the supernatants of cultures of mouse peritoneal macrophages stimulated with lipopolysaccharide after pre-incubation with dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid, arachidonic acid, or eicosapentaenoic acid. Accumulated prostaglandin concentrations from mouse macrophages with dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid uptake increased in a dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid concentration-dependent fashion. These increases were mainly due to prostaglandin D(1) and prostaglandin E(1). The order of accumulated prostaglandin concentrations was dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid>arachidonic acid>eicosapentaenoic acid in supernatants with the same concentration of polyunsaturated fatty acid. Since mouse macrophages can clearly produce series-1 prostaglandins, they must be formed in vivo. These findings suggest that the effects of dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid on diseases may be due to series-1 prostaglandins. << Less

Prostaglandin (PG) E(1) has been shown to possess anti-inflammatory properties and to modulate vascular reactivity. These activities are sometimes distinct from those of PGE(2), suggesting that endogenously produced PGE(1) may have some beneficial therapeutic effects compared with PGE(2). Increasing the endogenous formation of PGE(1) requires optimization of two separate processes, namely, enrichment of cellular lipids with dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid (20:3 n-6; DGLA) and effective cyclo-oxygenase-dependent oxygenation of substrate DGLA relative to arachidonic acid (AA; 20:4 n-6). DGLA and AA had similar affinities (K(m) values) and maximal reaction rates (V(max)) for cyclo-oxygenase-2 (COX-2), whereas AA was metabolized preferentially by cyclo-oxygenase-1 (COX-1). To overcome the kinetic preference of COX-1 for AA, CP-24879, a mixed Delta(5)/Delta(6) desaturase inhibitor, was used to enhance preferential accumulation of DGLA over AA in cells cultured in the presence of precursor gamma-linolenic acid (18:3 n-6). This protocol was tested in two cell lines and both yielded a DGLA/AA ratio of approx. 2.8 in the total cellular lipids. From the enzyme kinetic data, it was calculated that this ratio should offset the preference of COX-1 for AA over DGLA. PGE(1) synthesis in the DGLA-enriched cells was increased concurrent with a decline in PGE(2) formation. Nevertheless, PGE(1) synthesis was still substantially lower than that of PGE(2). It appears that employing a dietary or a combined dietary/pharmacological paradigm to augment the cellular ratio of DGLA/AA is not an effective route to enhance endogenous synthesis of PGE(1) over PGE(2), at least in cells/tissues where COX-1 predominates over COX-2. << Less
