13‐HPODE and 13‐HODE modulate cytokine‐induced expression of endothelial cell adhesion molecules differently

Expression of cellular adhesion molecules (CAMs) at endothelial surfaces represents a physiological response to vascular damage and mediates the initiation of inflammation and possibly of atherogenesis. The cytokines TNFα and IL‐1 are potent inducers of CAMs in endothelial cells. Reactive oxygen species comprising lipid oxidation products have been implicated in the signaling pathways of both TNFα and IL‐1 and accordingly could modulate atherogenic events. We, therefore, investigated the potential role of the lipoxygenase product, 13‐hydroperoxyoctadecadienoic acid (13‐HPODE), which has also been identified in oxidized low density lipoproteins on CAM expression in HUVEC. 13‐HPODE induced the expression of ICAM‐1 in a concentration dependent manner up to 75 μM. Higher concentrations were toxic. Similar effects were observed with H2O2 and phosphatidylcholine hydroperoxide. VCAM‐1 and E‐selectin were not induced by 13‐HPODE. 13‐HPODE administered simultaneously with IL‐1 or TNFα induced ICAM‐1 additively, suggesting that hydroperoxides and cytokines act on the same signaling pathways. In contrast, pretreatment of cells with 50 μM 13‐HPODE for 1 hour rather inhibited subsequent cytokine‐induced ICAM‐1 and E‐selectin expression. Surprisingly, the reduction product of 13‐HPODE, 13‐hydroxyoctadecadienoic acid (13‐HODE) proved to be an even better inducer of ICAM‐1 than 13‐HPODE. Pretreatment with 13‐HODE did not show any inhibitory effect on ICAM‐1 expression.
