The lipid-peroxidating enzyme, 15-lipoxygenase (LO)-1 and its metabolite, 13-S-hydroxyoctadecadienoic acid (13-S-HODE), likely contribute to prostate tumorigenesis. Thus, this study evaluated adenovirus-mediated overexpression of 15-LO-1 on normal mouse prostate. Adenovirus expressing either human 15-LO-1 tagged with green fluorescent protein (GFP) or GFP alone was orthotopically injected into the dorsolateral prostates of C57BL/6 mice, three times over the course of 60 days. On day 90, pathological changes in prostate tissue were assessed by hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining. Expression of the proliferation marker Ki-67 was evaluated by immunohistochemistry and expression of angiogenesis markers were analyzed by an antibody array. Based on the latter study, immunoprecipitation analysis was used to measure the effect of 13-S-HODE, with or without conditioned media, on fibroblast growth factor-a and b (FGF-a and FGF-b) expression in human PrEC (normal prostate epithelial), PrSMC (normal prostate smooth muscle) and PrSC (normal prostate stromal) lines. Expression of viral 15-LO-1-GFP, but not GFP alone, resulted in the development of a prostate intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN)-like phenotype with increased expression of Ki-67. Aberrant 15-LO-1 expression also induced the angiogenic markers FGF-a and FGF-b. Human PrEC, PrSMC and PrSC lines demonstrated an increase in FGF-b expression upon stimulation with 13-S-HODE, which was further increased by the addition of conditioned media from the epithelial or smooth muscle cells. Using adenoviral mediated 15-LO-1 gene delivery, this study suggests that aberrant 15-LO-1 overexpression in normal prostate can trigger events leading to prostate epithelial and stromal cell proliferation. Thus, our findings demonstrate the effectiveness of this viral system for 15-LO-1 expression studies in tissues.

To understand the role of human 15-lipoxygenase 1 (15-LOX1) in vascular wall remodeling, we have studied the effect of the major 15-LOX1 metabolite of arachidonic acid, 15(S)-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (15(S)-HETE), on vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) migration both in vitro and in vivo. Among 5(S)-HETE, 12(S)-HETE, and 15(S)-HETE, 15(S)-HETE potentially stimulated more vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) migration. In addition, 15(S)-HETE-induced VSMC migration was dependent on Src-mediated activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription-3 (STAT-3). 15(S)-HETE also induced monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) expression via Src-STAT-3 signaling, and neutralizing anti-MCP-1 antibodies completely negated 15(S)-HETE-induced VSMC migration. Cloning and characterization of a 2.6-kb MCP-1 promoter revealed the presence of four putative STAT-binding sites, and the site that is proximal to the transcription start site was found to be essential for 15(S)-HETE-induced Src-STAT-3-mediated MCP-1 expression. Rat carotid arteries that were subjected to balloon injury and transduced with Ad-15-LOX1 upon exposure to [(3)H]arachidonic acid ex vivo produced 15-HETE as a major eicosanoid and enhanced balloon injury-induced expression of MCP-1 in smooth muscle cells in Src and STAT-3-dependent manner in vivo. Adenovirus-mediated delivery of 15-LOX1 into rat carotid artery also led to recruitment and homing of macrophages to medial region in response to injury. In addition, transduction of Ad-15-LOX1 into arteries enhanced balloon injury-induced smooth muscle cell migration from media to intima and neointima formation. These results show for the first time that 15-LOX1-15(S)-HETE axis plays a major role in vascular wall remodeling after balloon angioplasty.
