20-Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid
(20-HETE), a potent vasoconstrictor and mediator of the myogenic
response, is a major arachidonic acid metabolite in the
microvasculature of the rat kidney formed primarily by the cytochrome
P-450 (CYP) 4A isoforms, CYP4A1, CYP4A2, and CYP4A3. We
examined CYP4A isoform expression and 20-HETE synthesis in
microdissected interlobar, arcuate, and interlobular arteries; mRNA for
all CYP4A isoforms was identified by RT-PCR. Western blot analysis
indicated that the levels of CYP4A2/4A3-immunoreactive protein
increased with decreased arterial diameter, whereas those of
CYP4A1-immunoreactive protein remained unchanged. 20-HETE synthesis was
the highest in the interlobular arteries (17 ± 1.62 nmol · mg
1 · h
1)
and, like CYP4A2/4A3-immunoreactive protein, decreased with increasing vessel diameter (4.5 ± 1.21, 2.65 ± 0.58, and
0.81 ± 0.14 nmol · mg
1 · h
1 in the
arcuate, interlobar, and segmental arteries, respectively). 20-HETE
synthesis in the renal artery and the abdominal aorta was undetectable.
The observed decreased immunoreactivity of NADPH-cytochrome P-450 (c) oxidoreductase with increased
arterial diameter provided a possible explanation for the decreased
capacity to generate 20-HETE in the large arteries. The increase in
CYP4A isoform expression and 20-HETE synthesis with decreasing diameter
along the preglomerular arteries and the potent biological activity of
20-HETE underscore the significance of 20-HETE as a modulator of renal hemodynamics.
