autacoids eicosanoids Flashcards
(126 cards)
what are the lipid derived eicosanoids
prostaglandins
thromboxanes
leukotrienes
eicosanoid basic facts
lipid mediators from 20 carbon essential polyunsaturated fatty acids
cant make de novo
most come from arachidonic acid (not free, esterified to SN2 position)
cell membrane phospholipids to arachidonic acid via what enzyme
phospholipases (PLA2)
arachidonic acid to isoprostanes via what enzyme
non-enzymatic oxidation
three things from arachidonic acids
cyclooxygenases
lipoxygenases
cytochrome p450
what are the two cyclooxygenases
COX-1 and 2
COX1 and 2 go to
PGG2 then to PGH2
PGH2 forms
prostaglandins (PGD2, PGE2, PGF2a)
prostacyclins (PG12)
thromboxanes (TXA2, TXB2)
3 lipoxygenases
5-LO, 12-LO, 15-LO
5-LO forms
5-GETEs then LTA4
LTA4 forms
CysLTs,LTC4,D4,E4
LTB4
Lipoxins,LXA4,LXB4
12-LO forms
12-HPETEs
12-HPETEs forms
12-HETEs
15-LO forms
15-HPETEs which forms 15-HETEs
15-HETEs forms
lipoxins, LXA4, LXB4
cytochrome P450 forms
HETEs, epoxides
cytochrome P450 via what enzymes
epoxygenase and omega-hydroxylase
how is arachidonic acid released
physical, hormonal and chemical stimuli cause an influx of Ca by pertubing the cell membrane and activating phospholipase A2
rate limiting step in eicosanoid generation
how many reactions do COX-1 and COX-2 also called prostaglandin H synthases catalyze
2
what are the two reactions
oxygen-dependent cyclization of AA to PGG2
peroxidase reduction of PGG2 to PGH2
PGG2 and PGH2 are both what
potent vasoconstrictors and platelet aggregators
PGH2 is converted to what
different eicosanoid products (prostanoids) in a tissue-specific manner
what are the PGH2 derived prostanoids
PGD2, PGF2a, PGE2, TxA2, PGI2
PGH2 in what tissue and what ezyme form PGD2
in brain and mast cells, and PGD2 isomerase
