PG - R862-9 LID - 10.1152/ajpregu.00575.2009 [doi] AB - We aimed to identify which cytochrome P-450 (CYP) family/subfamily, as well as related transcription factor(s), is responsible for the estrogen-dependent synthesis of epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) to initiate shear stress-induced vasodilation. Microarray analysis indicated a significant upregulation of CYP2C29 and retinoid X receptor gamma (RXRgamma) in isolated mesenteric arteries/arterioles of female endothelial nitric oxide synthase-knockout mice, a result that was validated by real-time RT-PCR. The cannulated vessels were then perfused with 2 and 10 dyn/cm(2) shear stress, followed by collection of the perfusate to determine EET concentrations and isoforms. Shear stress dose-dependently stimulated the release of EETs into the perfusate, associated with an EET-mediated vasodilation, in which predominantly 14,15-EET and 11,12-EET contributed to the responses ( approximately 87.4% of total EETs). Transfection of vessels with CYP2C29 siRNA eliminated the release of EETs into the perfusate, which was evidenced by an abolished vasodilation, and confirmed by RT-PCR and Western blot analyses. Knockdown of RXRgamma in these vessels significantly inhibited the production of EETs, parallel to a reduced vasodilation. RXRgamma siRNA not only silenced the vascular RXRgamma expression, but synchronously downregulated CYP2C29 expression, leading to a reduced EET synthesis. In conclusion, our data provide the first evidence for a specific signaling cascade, by which estrogen potentially activates the CYP2C29 gene in the absence of nitric oxide, to synthesize EETs in response to shear stress, via an RXRgamma-related regulatory mechanism.
