title: 13-HODE increases intracellular calcium in vascular smooth muscle cells.
abstract: 13-Hydroxyoctadecadienoic acid (HODE) (2 microM) consistently increased porcine aortic and pulmonary artery smooth muscle cell calcium concentrations ([Ca2+]i), whereas 9-HODE and linoleic acid had no significant effect in the aortic cells and a much lesser effect in the pulmonary artery cells. A transient increase in [Ca2+]i occurred with as little as 50 nM 13-HODE. Structural specificity for elevation of [Ca2+]i also was seen with the monohydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (HETEs), with 12-HETE but not 5- or 15-HETE increasing [Ca2+]i. 13-HODE, but not 9-HODE, increased smooth muscle cell guanosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cGMP) levels. The [Ca2+]i increase produced by 13-HODE was dependent on extracellular calcium and was inhibited by the calcium channel blockers verapamil and nifedipine and by KT-5823, a cGMP-dependent kinase inhibitor. A similar increase in [Ca2+]i was produced by 8-bromo-cGMP. These results suggest that 13-HODE, a 15-lipoxygenase product formed from linoleic acid, can act as a lipid mediator in vascular smooth muscle. It raises smooth muscle cGMP, causing a secondary increase in [Ca2+]i due to Ca2+ influx through a cGMP kinase-dependent L-type channel.
