CYP450 Metabolites Analysis Service

Arachidonic acid (AA) is a widely distributed polyunsaturated fatty acid once liberated from phospholipids by phospholipases. AA can undergo either monooxygenation or epoxidation by enzymes in the cytochrome P450 (CYP450) family. CYP-AA metabolites include 19- and 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (HETEs), epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) and diHETEs. These metabolites have different biological functions based on sites of production- the endothelium of vessels in many organs, the lung, the tubular and corneal epithelium, the liver. The likely targets are either enzymes (Na+-K+-ATPase) or ion channels (calcium activated potassium channels). The involvement of conventional receptor physiology in the tissue responses to CYP-AA products remains an open question. Several isoforms of CYP families that metabolize AA have been identified and cloned.

Recombinant CYP4A1, 4A2 and 4A3 enzymes, and possibly 4A8, have been reported to produce 20-HETE when incubated with AA. CYP4A2 and 4A3 mRNA have been shown in small arterioles of the rat kidney cat brain, skeletal muscle, and liver. Human liver and kidney express mRNA for the CYP4A11 and CYP4F2 isoforms; however, CYP4F2 now appears to be the isoform primarily responsible for the formation of 20-HETE in the human kidney, rat glomeruli, proximal tubule and thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle (TALH) of rats, and in both the airways and vasculature of the lungs of rabbits. Microsomes prepared from all these tissues produce 20-HETE when incubated with AA in the presence of adequate oxygen tension (PO2 > 6650 Pa) and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP).

The CYP2C family is involved in the production of EETs. Specific examples of this family include a CYP2C11 enzyme present in astrocytes in the brain, CYP2C8 and 2C9 in human liver and endothelial cells, 2C2 in rabbit kidney, CYP2C29, 2C38 and 2C39 in the liver, kidney and brain of mice and CYP2C23 in the kidney of rats. Also CYP1A, 2B and 2J catalyze the formation of EETs in various tissues. The formation in various tissues is highly dependent on experimental conditions.

CYP-AA metabolites, 19- and 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (HETEs), epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) and diHETEs have different biological properties based on sites of production and can be stored in various tissue lipids and released in response to hormonal stimuli. 20-HETE is a vasoconstrictor, causing blockade of Ca++-activated K+ (KCa) channels. EETs, produced by the vascular endothelium, are potent dilators. EETs hyperpolarize VSM cells by activating KCa channels. Several investigators have proposed that one or more EETs may serve as endothelial-derived hyperpolarizing factors (EDHF).

Currently, a reliable and reproducible method using highly sensitive LC-MS/MS platform for the identification and quantification of diverse CYP450 metabolites in different sample types has been established by the scientists at Creative Proteomics, which can satisfy the needs of academic and industrial study in your lab.

Platform

LC-MS/MS

Summary
Identification and quantification ofCYP450 metabolites (eicosanoids) by mixed organic solvent extractionin plasma or tissue. CYP450 metabolites are extracted and concentrated using solid phase extraction. The eluant is dried and re-suspended for LC-MS separation and measured using MRM methods.

Sample Requirement

Normal Volume: 200 uL plasma, 20 mg tissue, 1e7 cells
Minimal Volume: 50uL, 5 mg tissue, 6 e6 cells

Report

A full report including all raw data, MS/MS instrument parameters and step-by-step calculations will be provided (Excel and PDF formats).
Analytes are reported as uM or ug/mg (tissue), and CV's are generally<10%.

From Our Clients

"I recently used their proteomics service for a project analyzing protein interactions in yeast models. The team was very responsive and helped clarify the methodology they employed, which made me feel confident in the results. The data quality was solid, with clear identification of several key proteins involved in our study. Their thorough analysis enabled me to pinpoint specific interactions that I hadn't considered before, which significantly improved the direction of my research. I appreciate their professionalism and support throughout the process."

Sarah Thompson, University of California, Berkeley

"Our lab collaborated with them on a project studying cancer biomarkers. The proteomics analysis provided was detailed and focused, specifically highlighting the differential expression of proteins between healthy and tumor samples. Their clear explanations of the data helped my team understand the biological implications. I also appreciated their willingness to revise the reports based on our feedback, ensuring that we had everything we needed for our publication. This collaborative spirit was invaluable."

Emily Rodriguez, Stanford University

"Our lab worked with them on a project studying the effects of diet on gut microbiota using proteomics. They used a label-free quantification method to analyze proteins in fecal samples before and after dietary intervention. The results showed significant changes in protein expression linked to microbial activity. This was pivotal for our hypothesis about diet-microbiota interactions. The clarity of their data presentation made it easy for our team to integrate these findings into our ongoing research."

Dr. Lisa Wong, University of Toronto

"My experience with Creative Proteomics during the mass spectrometry analysis was excellent. We sent in human saliva and mouse brain tissue samples, which they expertly analyzed using both LC-MS and GC-MS techniques. The results were invaluable, revealing key metabolites in the saliva and identifying biomarkers linked to brain function in the brain tissue."

Dr. Emily Carter, Senior Research Scientist

"The overall service from Creative Proteomics was outstanding. They made the entire process seamless and efficient, allowing us to focus on our research. We worked with leaf and root samples from various Arabidopsis genotypes for targeted metabolomics analysis. Their thorough profiling of primary and secondary metabolites gave us important insights into how the plants respond metabolically to environmental stress."

Dr. Laura Henderson, Plant Physiologist
