The effects of exogenous and endogenous epoxyeicosatrienoic acids on the expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase and its phosphorylation at Thr-495

AIM The present study investigated the effect of exogenous and endogenous epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) on the expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase(eNOS) and its phosphorylation at Thr 495 in primarily cultured bovine aortic endothelium cells(BAEC). METHODS BAECs were incubated with exogenous 8,9 EET, 11,12 EET and 14,15 EET(100 nmol·L -1 )for 4 h. Furthermore, cytochrome P450 epooxygenase (CYP450) genes, CYP2C11, CYP2J2 and CYPBM 3 F87V were transfected into cultured BAECs and Sprague Dawley (SD) rats using recombinant adeno associated viral vetor (rAAV) and plasmid vector pCB6, respectively, to produce endogenous EETs. The levels of total eNOS protein synthesis and Thr 495 phospho eNOS were determined by western blots. RESULTS Compared with control and vehicle group, three exogenous EETs significantly up regulated the total eNOS protein expression levels and increased phosphorylation of Thr 495, while CYP450 inhibitor, 17 ODYA, can inhibit eNOS protein expression and decreased phosphorylation of Thr 495 eNOS. Compared with corresponding controls, both in vivo and in vitro transfections of three epoxygenase genes all significantly increased the eNOS protein expression and increased phosphorylation of Thr 495 eNOS. CONCLUSION These results indicate that EETs and epoxygenases not only up regulate eNOS protein expression but also increase phosphorylation of eNOS at Thr 495 site, which may affect eNOS function.
