Abstract

Cardiac cellular hypertrophy is the increase in the size of individual cardiac cells. Cytochrome P450 1B1 (CYP1B1) is an extrahepatic inducible Enzyme that is associated with toxicity, including cardiotoxicity. We previously reported that 19-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (19-HETE) inhibited CYP1B1 and prevented cardiac hypertrophy in enantioselective manner. Therefore, our aim is to investigate the effect of 17-HETE enantiomers on cardiac hypertrophy and CYP1B1. Human adult cardiomyocyte (AC16) cells were treated with 17-HETE enantiomers (20 µM); cellular hypertrophy was evaluated by cell surface area and cardiac hypertrophy markers. In addition, CYP1B1 gene, protein and activity were assessed. Human recombinant CYP1B1 and heart microsomes of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD)-treated rats were incubated with 17-HETE enantiomers (10-80 nM). Our results demonstrated that 17-HETE induced cellular hypertrophy, which is manifested by increase in cell surface area and cardiac hypertrophy markers. 17-HETE enantiomers allosterically activated CYP1B1 and selectively upregulated CYP1B1 gene and protein expression in AC16 cells at uM range. In addition, CYP1B1 was allosterically activated by 17-HETE enantiomers at nM range in recombinant CYP1B1 and heart microsomes. In conclusion, 17-HETE acts as an autocrine mediator, leading to the cardiac hypertrophy through induction of CYP1B1 activity in the heart.
