Synthesis of 13(R)-Hydroxy-7Z,10Z,13R,14E,16Z,19Z Docosapentaenoic Acid (13R-HDPA) and Its Biosynthetic Conversion to the 13-Series Resolvins.

ABSTRACT: Specialized pro-resolving lipid mediators are biosynthesized during the resolution phase of acute inflammation from n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. Recently, the isolation and identification of the four novel mediators denoted 13-series resolvins, namely, RvT1 (1), RvT2 (2), RvT3 (3) and RvT4 (4), were reported, which showed potent bioactions characteristic for specialized pro-resolving lipid mediators. Herein, based on results from LC/MS-MS metabololipidomics and the stereoselective synthesis of 13(R)-hydroxy-7Z,10Z,13R,14E,16Z,19Z docosapentaenoic acid (13R-HDPA, 5), we provide direct evidence that the four novel mediators 1-4 are all biosynthesized from the pivotal intermediate 5. The UV and LC/MS-MS results from synthetic 13R-HDPA (5) matched those from endogenously and biosynthetically produced material obtained from in vivo infectious exudates, endothelial cells, and human recombinant COX-2 enzyme. Stereochemically pure 5 was obtained with the use of a chiral pool starting material that installed the configuration at the C-13 atom as R. Two stereoselective Z-Wittig reactions and two Z-selective reductions of internal alkynes afforded the geometrically pure alkene moieties in 5. Incubation of 5 with isolated human neutrophils gave all four RvTs. The results presented herein provide new knowledge on the biosynthetic pathways and the enzymatic origin of RvTs 1-4.

Project description:The role of resolvins in abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) has not been established. We hypothesized that treatment with D-series resolvins (RvD2 or RvD1) would attenuate murine AAA formation through alterations in macrophage polarization and cytokine expression. Male C57/B6 mice (n = 9 per group) 8 to 12 wk old received RvD2 (100 ng/kg/treatment), RvD1 (100 ng/kg/treatment), or vehicle only every third day beginning 3 d before abdominal aortic perfusion with elastase as prevention. Aortas were collected 14 d after elastase perfusion. Cytokine analysis (n = 5 per group) or confocal microscopy (n = 4 per group) was performed. In a separate experiment, RvD2 was provided to mice with small AAAs 3 d after elastase treatment (n = 8 per group). Additionally, apolipoprotein E knockout mice treated with angiotensin II (1000 ng/kg) were treated with RvD2 or vehicle alone (n = 10 per group) in a nonsurgical model of AAA. To determine the effect of RvD2 on macrophage polarization, confocal staining for macrophages, M1 and M2 macrophage subtypes, α-actin, and DAPI was performed. Mean aortic dilation was 96 ± 13% for vehicle-treated mice, 57 ± 9.7% for RvD2-treated mice, and 61 ± 11% for RvD1-treated mice (P < 0.0001). Proinflammatory cytokines macrophage chemotactic protein 1, C-X-C motif ligand 1, and IL-1β were significantly elevated in control animals compared to RvD2- and RvD1-treated animals (P < 0.05), resulting in a reduction of matrix metalloproteinase 2 and 9 activity in resolvin-treated mice in both elastase and angiotensin II models. Treatment of existing small AAAs with RvD2 demonstrated a 25% reduction in aneurysm size at d 14 compared to vehicle alone (P = 0.018). Confocal histology demonstrated a prevalence of M2 macrophages within the aortic medium in mice treated with RvD2. Resolvin D2 exhibits a potent protective effect against experimental AAA formation. Treatment with RvD2 significantly influences macrophage polarization and decreases several important proinflammatory cytokines. Resolvins and the alteration of macrophage polarization represent potential future targets for prevention of AAA.-Pope, N. H., Salmon, M., Davis, J. P., Chatterjee, A., Su, G., Conte, M. S., Ailawadi, G., Upchurch, G. R., Jr. D-series resolvins inhibit murine abdominal aortic aneurysm formation and increase M2 macrophage polarization.
