Eicosanoid synthesis by rabbit hydronephrotic cortical interstitial cells in culture [published erratum appears in J Pharmacol Exp Ther 1988 Feb;244(2):796]

A Danon, TV Zenser, DL Thomasson, MO Palmier and BB Davis

Rabbit hydronephrotic cortical interstitial cells in primary culture were labeled with [1-14C]arachidonic acid and the eicosanoids released after stimulation with bradykinin or A23187 were studied by reverse- phase high performance liquid chromatography. The major arachidonic acid metabolite formed was prostaglandin (PG)E2, comprising more than 30% of the total radioactivity released. 12-Hydroxyheptadecatrienoic acid, probably representing spontaneous breakdown of the cyclic endoperoxides PGG2 and/or PGH2, made up 10 to 15% of the radioactivity released. Other cyclooxygenase products that were released included PGF2 alpha, PGD2, 6-keto PGF1 alpha and only minute amounts of thromboxane B2. Small quantities of the lipoxygenase products 15-, 12- and 5-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (HETEs) as well as leukotrienes (LT)B4, LTC4 and LTD4 were also identified. Significantly larger quantities of 15- and 5-HETEs were recovered at 2 to 5 min than after longer incubations with A23187, suggesting esterification of these HETEs into cellular phospholipids. The data indicate that interstitial cells of the hydronephrotic kidney synthesize a variety of cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase products of arachidonic acid, which may contribute to the pathophysiology of hydronephrosis. Moreover, it is suggested that PGG2 and/or PGH2 that are released from these cells may be metabolized further by adjacent kidney cells or circulating blood elements to other eicosanoid products, thus increasing the diversity of eicosanoids synthesized in the hydronephrotic kidney.
