Cyclooxygenase-2 Dependent Metabolism Of 20-Hete Increases Adiposity And Adipocyte Enlargement In Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Derived Adipocytes, Dong Kim, Nitin Puri, Komal Sodhi, John Falck, Nader Abraham, Joseph Shapiro, Michal Schwartzman

Nader G. Abraham

Abstract 20-Hydroxy-5,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE), a product of the cytochrome P450 (CYP)-catalyzed [1] -hydroxylation of arachidonic acid, induces oxidative stress and, in clinical studies, is associated with increased body mass index (BMI) and the metabolic syndrome. This study was designed to examine the effects of exogenous 20- HETE on mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-derived adipocytes. The expression levels of CYP4A11 and CYP4F2 (major 20-HETE synthases in humans) in MSCs decreased during adipocyte differentiation; however, exogenous administration of 20-HETE (0.1–1 M) increased adipogenesis in a dose dependent manner in these cells ( P < 0.05). The inability of a 20-HETE analog to reproduce these …
