The main challenge for researchers is their low stability and often very low concentration in samples. Therefore, in recent years there have been developments in the extraction and analysis methods of oxylipins. New approaches in extraction methods were described in our previous review. In turn, the old analysis methods have been replaced by new approaches based on mass spectrometry (MS) coupled with liquid chromatography (LC) and gas chromatography (GC), and the best of these methods allow hundreds of oxylipins to be quantitatively identified. This review presents comparative and comprehensive information on the progress of various methods used by various authors to achieve the best results in the analysis of oxylipins in biological samples. Keywords: oxylipins; biological samples; HPLC; UHPLC; GC–MS; LC–MS 1. Introduction Oxylipins are important lipid mediators that are formed from polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) such as arachidonic acid (ARA), linoleic acid (LA), α-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) [1–3] in reactions catalyzed by cyclooxygenase (COX), lipoxygenase (LOX), and cytochrome P450 (CYP 450) enzymes, and non-enzymatic oxidation pathways [1,2]. Oxylipins are involved in various biological processes but, primarily, are important for the regulation of inflammation [4–8]. The direction of oxylipins influence on inflammation depends on their PUFA precursor, usually n-3 PUFA derived oxylipins are anti-inflammatory and pro-resolving [1], while n-6 PUFA metabolites can promote inflammation [1,3]. The ability of oxylipins to act as molecular mediator arises from their binding to peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) and G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) [9,10]. In epithelial-derived cancers altered ARA metabolism by COX and LOX leads to production of pro-inflammatory factors that promote tumor growth and facilitate formation of tumor microenvironment conductive to angiogenesis and immunosuppression [6,10]. Altered PUFA metabolism was also shown in obesity [4], where the interaction with PPAR and GPCR can modulate adipogenesis [9]. Plasma oxylipin levels have also been correlated with outcome of cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, preeclampsia, due to vasoconstrictive effects of some oxylipins, or cardiac arrythmias [11]. The presence of most oxylipins in low concentrations, as well as their enormous heterogeneity and the emergence of many structurally similar oxylipins, makes their qualitative and quantitative determination difficult due to the low sensitivity of traditional methods. In the previous review [12], we described the current methods of sample preparation from various biological materials preceding the analysis of oxylipins.

A member of the basic helix-loop- helix/ Per-Arnt-Sim (bHLH-PAS) super-family of DNA binding regulatory proteins, the AhR is an important developmental regulator that can be detected in nearly all mammalian tissues. Prior to ligand activation, the AhR resides in the cytosol as part of an inactive oligomeric protein complex comprised of the AhR ligand-binding subunit, a dimer of the 90 kDa heat shock protein, and a single molecule each of the immunophilin like X-associated protein 2 (XAP2) and p23 proteins. Functioning as chemosensor, the AhR responds to both endobiotic and xenobiotic derived chemical ligands by ultimately directing the expression of metabolically important target genes.

  • Omega-6 and Omega-3 Oxylipins Are Implicated in Soybean Oil-Induced
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Omega-6 and omega-3 oxylipins are implicated in soybean oil- induced obesity in mice Received: 21 February 2017 Poonamjot Deol1, Johannes Fahrmann2, Jun Yang 3, Jane R. Evans1, Antonia Rizo1, Dmitry Accepted: 14 September 2017 Grapov4, Michelle Salemi2, Kwanjeera Wanichthanarak 5, Oliver Fiehn 5, Brett Phinney2, Published: xx xx xxxx Bruce D. Hammock 3 & Frances M. Sladek1 Soybean oil consumption is increasing worldwide and parallels a rise in obesity. Rich in unsaturated fats, especially linoleic acid, soybean oil is assumed to be healthy, and yet it induces obesity, diabetes, insulin resistance, and fatty liver in mice. Here, we show that the genetically modifed soybean oil Plenish, which came on the U.S. market in 2014 and is low in linoleic acid, induces less obesity than conventional soybean oil in C57BL/6 male mice. Proteomic analysis of the liver reveals global diferences in hepatic proteins when comparing diets rich in the two soybean oils, coconut oil, and a low-fat diet. Metabolomic analysis of the liver and plasma shows a positive correlation between obesity and hepatic C18 oxylipin metabolites of omega-6 (ω6) and omega-3 (ω3) fatty acids (linoleic and α-linolenic acid, respectively) in the cytochrome P450/soluble epoxide hydrolase pathway. While Plenish induced less insulin resistance than conventional soybean oil, it resulted in hepatomegaly and liver dysfunction as did olive oil, which has a similar fatty acid composition. These results implicate a new class of compounds in diet-induced obesity–C18 epoxide and diol oxylipins. While humans have been cultivating soybeans for ~5000 years1, soybean oil has become a substantial part of our diet only in the last few decades2.

In particular, cardiac fibrosis is considered as a major factor causing myocardial infarction and heart failure. In particular, oxidative stress is a major cause of heart fibrosis. In order to control such oxidative stress, the importance of nuclear factor erythropoietin 2 related factor 2 (NRF2) has recently been highlighted. In this review, we will discuss the activation of NRF2 by docosahexanoic acid (DHA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and the specialized pro-resolving lipid mediators (SPMs) derived from polyunsaturated lipids, including DHA and EPA. Additionally, we will discuss their effects on cardiac fibrosis via NRF2 activation. Keywords: cardiac fibrosis; NRF2; lipoxins; resolvins; maresins; neuroprotectins 1. Introduction Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide [1]. Cardiac fibrosis is a major factor leading to the progression of myocardial infarction and heart failure [2]. Cardiac fibrosis is characterized by the net accumulation of extracellular matrix proteins in the cardiac stroma and ultimately impairs cardiac function [3]. Therefore, interest in substances with cardioprotective activity continues.

  • Detection of F2-Isoprostanes and F4-Neuroprostanes in Clinical Studies
    Mini Review Detection of F2-isoprostanes and F4-neuroprostanes in Clinical Studies Hsiu-Chuan Yen Graduate Institute of Medical Biotechnology Department of Medical Biotechnology and Laboratory Science Chang Gung University, Taoyuan, Taiwan Detecting stable products of oxidative damage is the most reliable approach to access oxidative stress in vivo. F2-isoprostanes (F2-IsoPs) and F4-neuroprostanes (F4-NPs) are the most specific markers of lipid peroxidation, which is superior to other markers of oxidative damage for clinical studies in many ways. F2-IsoPs is formed from peroxidation of arachidonic acid that is abundant in all kind of cells, while F4-NPs is derived from docosahexaenoic acid enriched in neurons. Moreover, F2-IsoPs is known to exhibit biological activities, such as vasoconstriction and platelet aggregation. Gas chromatography/negative-ion chemical-ionization mass spectrometry (GC/NICI-MS) is the reference method and the method with highest sensitivity to quantify F2-IsoPs and F4-NPs. F2-IsoPs is not only a widely used gold marker of lipid peroxidation detectable in all types of body fluids, but also a cause of diseases due to its biological activities, a marker to evaluate severity or predict out- come of diseases, or a tool to monitor the effectiveness of antioxidant therapy. Clinical studies de- tecting F4-NPs are little because cerebrospinal fluid or brain tissues are needed, but it is more useful than F2-IsoPs in selectively evaluating neuronal oxidative damage. This paper will discuss the above issues with emphasis on the advantages and considerations in clinical studies.

  • Regulation of Tissue Inflammation by 12-Lipoxygenases
    biomolecules Review Regulation of Tissue Inflammation by 12-Lipoxygenases Abhishek Kulkarni 1 , Jerry L. Nadler 2, Raghavendra G. Mirmira 1,* and Isabel Casimiro 1,* 1 Department of Medicine, The University of Chicago, Chicago, IL 60637, USA; [email protected] 2 Department of Medicine and Pharmacology, New York Medical College, Valhalla, NY 10595, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] (R.G.M.); [email protected] (I.C.) Abstract: Lipoxygenases (LOXs) are lipid metabolizing enzymes that catalyze the di-oxygenation of polyunsaturated fatty acids to generate active eicosanoid products. 12-lipoxygenases (12-LOXs) primarily oxygenate the 12th carbon of its substrates. Many studies have demonstrated that 12-LOXs and their eicosanoid metabolite 12-hydroxyeicosatetraenoate (12-HETE), have significant pathological implications in inflammatory diseases. Increased level of 12-LOX activity promotes stress (both oxidative and endoplasmic reticulum)-mediated inflammation, leading to damage in these tissues. 12-LOXs are also associated with enhanced cellular migration of immune cells—a characteristic of several metabolic and autoimmune disorders. Genetic depletion or pharmacological inhibition of the enzyme in animal models of various diseases has shown to be protective against disease development and/or progression in animal models in the setting of diabetes, pulmonary, cardiovascular, and metabolic disease, suggesting a translational potential of targeting the enzyme for the treatment of several disorders. In this article, we review the role of 12-LOXs in the pathogenesis of several diseases in which chronic inflammation plays an underlying role.

The elaboration of solid and non- intrusive strategies for the assessment of oxidative worry in human body is a standout amongst the most critical strides towards perceiving the assortment of oxidative disorders apparently created by Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS). Lipid peroxidation is a standout amongst the most well-known components related with oxidative anxiety, and the estimation of lipid peroxidation items has been utilized to assess oxidative worry in vivo conditions. The estimation of conjugated dienes and lipid hydro peroxide, while the evaluation of optional final results incorporates thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, vaporous alkanes and prostaglandin F2-like items, named F2-isoprostanes (F2-iPs). As of late, F2-iPs have been viewed as the most significant, precise and solid marker of oxidative worry in vivo and their evaluation is suggested for surveying oxidant wounds in people. The motivation behind this paper is to give some data on organic chemistry of isoprostanes and their use as a marker of oxidative anxiety.

Fatty Acid Metabolism Mediated by 12/15-Lipoxygenase is a Novel Regulator of Hematopoietic Stem Cell Function and Myelopoiesis Abstract Fatty acid metabolism governs critical cellular processes in multiple cell types. The goal of my dissertation was to investigate the intersection between fatty acid metabolism and hematopoiesis. Although fatty acid metabolism has been extensively studied in mature hematopoietic subsets during inflammation, in developing hematopoietic cells the role of fatty acid metabolism, in particular by 12/ 15-Lipoxygenase (12/15-LOX), was unknown. The observation that 12/15-LOX-deficient (Alox15) mice developed a myeloid leukemia instigated my studies since leukemias are often a consequence of dysregulated hematopoiesis. This observation lead to the central hypothesis of this dissertation which is that polyunsaturated fatty acid metabolism mediated by 12/15-LOX participates in hematopoietic development. Using genetic mouse models and in vitro and in vivo cell development assays, I found that 12/15-LOX indeed regulates multiple stages of hematopoiesis including the function of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) and the differentiation of B cells, T cells, basophils, granulocytes and monocytes.
