Metabolism in vivo of all-trans-[11-3H]retinoic acid after an oral dose in rats. Characterization of retinoyl beta-glucuronide in the blood and other tissues.

ABSTRACT: Soon after [11-3H]retinoic acid (RA) (1.1 x 10(8) d.p.m.) was administered orally to rats either as a large dose (115 micrograms = 0.38 mumol/rat) or mixed with unlabelled RA as a huge dose (22 mg = 73.33 mumol/rat), retinoyl beta-glucuronide (RAG) was identified and characterized as a significant metabolite in the serum and small intestine. Of the administered dose, 70% remained unchanged as retinoic acid in the stomach up to 1 h. Significant amounts of 5,6-epoxyretinoic acid, 4-hydroxyretinoic acid, esters of retinoic acid and several polar retinoids, including 4-oxoretinoic acid, were also detected in the stomach. No significant difference was observed in the nature of the retinoids found after a large or a huge dose; however, the ratio of RAG/RA was higher after a huge dose than after a large dose. Thus RAG, which is biologically active in vivo and in vitro, is formed quickly in significant amounts in tissues after a dose of RA.

Synthesis and metabolism of all-trans-[11-3H]retinyl beta-glucuronide in rats in vivo.

Project description:All-trans-[11-3H]retinyl beta-glucuronide (all-trans-[11-3H]ROG) was synthesized from [3H]retinol by an improved synthetic procedure. After its intraperitoneal injection into rats, ROG is initially found as the predominant labelled component in the serum, but then is distributed to the liver, intestine, kidney and other organs of the body. Esters of vitamin A, which constituted the major metabolite of ROG, were detected in the liver as well as in other tissues. Of the labelled vitamin A esters derived from tritiated ROG in the liver and intestine, about 50% contained 5,6-epoxyretinol, which was characterized by its chromatographic behaviour, formation of an acetyl ester and lack of reactivity with diazomethane. Thus ROG, although converted to retinol in vivo, might also act physiologically in an intact form.

Chemical synthesis of all-trans-[11-3H]retinoyl beta-glucuronide and its metabolism in rats in vivo.

Project description:All-trans-[11-3H]retinoyl beta-glucuronide (RAG) was synthesized in a single step from all-trans-[11-3H]retinoyl fluoride, with a 24% yield. After its intraperitoneal injection into rats, RAG was detected in the blood, liver, intestine and kidney during the following 24 h period. Although the concentration of radiolabelled metabolites decreased with time, RAG predominated at nearly all times in nearly all tissues. Small amounts of retinoic acid (RA) were also universally present, together with unidentified polar metabolites and small amounts of non-polar esters of RA. The major excretion products of RAG in faeces and urine were RA and polar metabolites. Thus RAG, although converted in part to RA in vivo, persists as a major component in blood and tissues for at least 24 h. These observations support the concept that the retinoid beta-glucuronides might serve a physiologically significant role in the function of vitamin A.

Prostaglandins and their precursors in tissues from rats fed on trans, trans-linoleate.

Project description:Feeding trans,trans-9,12-linoleate to rats as 50 and 100% of the dietary fat decreased the concentrations of n-6 fatty acids, i.e. 18:2, 20:3 and 20:4, in heart, kidney, lung, adipose tissue and platelets of rats. The concentrations of prostaglandin products prostaglandins E1, E2 and F2 alpha in serum were significantly decreased in rats receiving high concentrations of dietary trans, trans-linoleate.

A gene(s) for all-trans-retinoic acid-induced forelimb defects mapped and confirmed to murine chromosome 11.

Project description:All-trans-retinoic acid (RA) induces various anatomical limb dysmorphologies in mice dependent on the time of exposure. During early limb development, RA induces forelimb ectrodactyly (digital absence) with varying susceptibilities for different inbred mouse strains; C57BL/6N are highly susceptible while SWV are resistant. To isolate the genetic basis of this defect, a full-genome scan was performed in 406 backcross fetuses of F(1) males to C57BL/6N females. Fetuses were exposed via a maternal injection of 75 mg of RA per kilogram of body weight on gestational day 9.25. The genome-wide analysis revealed significant linkage to a chromosome 11 locus near D11Mit39 with a maximum LOD score of 9.0 and to a chromosome 4 locus near D4Mit170. An epistatic interaction was detected between loci on chromosome 11 (D11Mit39) and chromosome 18 (D18Mit64). Linkage to the chromosome 11 locus (D11Mit39) was confirmed in RA-treated backcross fetuses of F(1) females to C57BL/6N males. Loci associated with bone density/mass in both human and mouse were previously detected in the same region, suggesting a mechanistic linkage with bone homeostasis. The human syntenic region of this locus has been previously linked to Meckel syndrome; the phenotype includes postaxial polydactyly, an ectopic digital defect hypothesized to be induced by a common molecular pathway with ectrodactyly.

Development of a novel microemulsion for oral absorption enhancement of all-trans retinoic acid.

Project description:This study was aimed to develop a novel microemulsion that contained oleth-5 as a surfactant to enhance the oral absorption of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA). The prepared microemulsion was evaluated for its particle size, shape, zeta potential, in vitro release, in vitro intestinal absorption, intestinal membrane cytotoxicity and stability. The obtained microemulsion was spherical in shape with a particle size of <200 nm and a negative surface charge. The in vitro release of the ATRA-loaded microemulsion was best fit with the zero-order model. This microemulsion significantly improved the intestinal absorption of ATRA. Confocal laser scanning microscopy analysis using a fluorescent dye-loaded microemulsion also confirmed the intestinal absorption result. The intestinal membrane cytotoxicity of the ATRA-loaded microemulsion did not differ from an edible oil (fish oil). Stability testing showed that the ATRA-loaded microemulsion was more stable at 25°C than 40°C.

Pharmacokinetics of Hydroxytyrosol and Its Sulfate and Glucuronide Metabolites after the Oral Administration of Table Olives to Sprague-Dawley Rats.

Project description:The pharmacokinetics (PK) of hydroxytyrosol and its metabolites were characterized following oral administration to Sprague-Dawley rats of 3.85 and 7.70 g of destoned Arbequina table olives/kg. Plasma samples were analyzed using a fully validated method consisting of liquid extraction followed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Noncompartmental PK analysis of hydroxytyrosol demonstrated linear PK between doses of 2.95 and 5.85 mg hydroxytyrosol/kg. Half-life was approximately 2.5 h, while mean residence time was around 4 h. Clearance occurred by conversion to two sulfate and two glucuronide conjugates. The area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) ratios of metabolites versus parent hydroxytyrosol was approximately 7-9-fold for the sulfate and below 0.25 for the glucuronide, indicating sulfation as the predominant metabolic pathway. Despite extensive metabolism, hydroxytyrosol remained in plasma for up to 8 h with AUCs of 4293 and 8919 min·nmol/L for the doses of 3.85 and 7.70 g/kg, respectively. Therefore, table olives provide a more sustained plasma profile than other foods containing hydroxytyrosol, which may enhance its health-protecting activities.

Excretion of [3H]triptolide and its metabolites in rats after oral administration.

Project description:To investigate the routes of elimination and excretion for triptolide recovered in rats.After a single oral administration of [(3)H]triptolide (0.8 mg/kg, 100 μCi/kg) in Sprague Dawley rats, urine and fecal samples were collected for 168 h. To study biliary excretion, bile samples were collected for 24 h through bile duct cannulation. Radioactivity was measured using a liquid scintillation analyzer, and excretion pathway analysis was performed using an HPLC/on-line radioactivity detector.The total radioactivity recovered from the urine and feces of rats without bile duct ligation ranged from 86.6%-89.1%. Most of the radioactivity (68.6%-72.0%) was recovered in the feces within 72 h after oral administration, while the radioactivity recovered in the urine and bile was 17.1%-18.0% and 39.0%-39.4%, respectively. The HPLC/on-line radiochromatographic analysis revealed that most of the drug-related radioactivity was in the form of metabolites. In addition, significant gender differences in the quantity of these metabolites were found: monohydroxytriptolide sulfates were the major metabolites detected in the urine, feces, and bile of female rats, while only traces of these metabolites were found in male rats.Radiolabeled triptolide is mainly secreted in bile and eliminated in feces. The absorbed radioactivity is primarily eliminated in the form of metabolites, and significant gender differences are observed in the quantity of recovered metabolites, which are likely caused by the gender-specific expression of sulfotransferases.

Hypertrophy of Adipose Tissues in Quail Embryos by <i>in ovo</i> Injection of All-<i>Trans</i> Retinoic Acid.

Project description:Excessive adipose accretion causes health issues in humans and decreases feed efficiency in poultry. Although vitamin A has been known to be involved in adipogenesis, effects of all-trans retinoic acid (atRA), as a metabolite of vitamin A, on embryonic adipose development have not been studied yet. Avian embryos are developing in confined egg environments, which can be directly modified to study effects of nutrients on embryonic adipogenesis. With the use of quail embryos, different concentrations of atRA (0 M to 10 μM) were injected in ovo at embryonic day (E) 9, and adipose tissues were sampled at E14. Percentages of fat pad weights in embryo weights were significantly increased in the group injected with 300 nM of atRA. Also, among three injection time points, E5, E7, or E9, E7 showed the most significant increase in weight and percentage of inguinal fat at E14. Injection of atRA at E7 increased fat cell size in E14 embryos with up-regulation of pro-adipogenic marker genes (Pparγ and Fabp4) and down-regulation of a preadipocyte marker gene (Dlk1) in adipose tissues. These data demonstrate that atRA promotes hypertrophic fat accretion in quail embryos, implying important roles of atRA in embryonic development of adipose tissues.

All-trans-retinoyl beta-glucuronide: new procedure for chemical synthesis and its metabolism in vitamin A-deficient rats.

Project description:All-trans-retinoyl beta-glucuronide (RAG) was chemically synthesized in high yields (up to 79%) by a new procedure involving the reaction of the tetrabutylammonium salt of glucuronic acid with all-trans-retinoic acid (RA) via the imidazole or triazole derivative. When RAG was fed orally to vitamin A-deficient rats, RA was identified as the major metabolite in the serum within hours of administration of RAG. Very little or no RAG was detected in the serum. Thus RAG, which was not appreciably hydrolysed to RA in vitamin A-sufficient rats [Barua and Olson (1987) Biochem. J. 263, 403-409], was rapidly converted into RA in vitamin A-deficient rats.

All-trans retinoic acid can antagonize osteoblastogenesis induced by different BMPs irrespective of their dimerization types and dose-efficiencies.

Project description:IntroductionAlcoholism can lead to low mineral density, compromised regenerative bone capacity and delayed osteointegration of dental implants. This may be partially attributed to the inhibitive effect of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), a metabolite of alcohol, on osteoblastogenesis. Our previous studies demonstrated that heterodimeric bone morphogenetic protein 2/7 (BMP2/7) was a more potent BMP than homodimeric BMP2 or BMP7, and could antagonize the inhibitive effect of ATRA to rescue osteoblastogenesis.Materials and methodsIn this study, we compared the effectiveness of BMP2/7, BMP2 and BMP7 in restoring osteoblastogenesis of murine preosteoblasts upon inhibition with 1 µM ATRA, and we further analyzed the potential mechanisms. We measured the following parameters: cell viability, ALP, OCN, mineralization, the expression of osteogenic differentiation marker genes (Collagen I, ALP and OCN) and the expression of BMP signaling key genes (Dlx5, Runx2, Osterix and Smad1).ResultsBMP2/7 treatment alone induced significantly higher osteoblastogenesis compared to BMP2 and BMP7. When cells were treated by ATRA, BMP2/7 was superior only in rescuing cell viability and ALP activity, compared to BMP2 or BMP7. However, BMP2/7 was not superior to BMP2 or BMP7 in restoring OCN expression and extracellular mineralized nodules, or in rescuing expression of two key osteogenic genes, Dlx5 and Runx2. Irrespective of their dimeric types or potency, the selected BMPs could antagonize the inhibitory effect of ATRA on osteoblastogenesis.ConclusionThe presence of ATRA, BMP2/7 still induced significantly higher cell viability and early differentiation than the homodimers. However, ATRA significantly attenuated the advantages of BMP2/7 in inducing late and final osteoblastogenic differentiation over the homodimers.
