Abstract

We examined the mechanism by which the cytochrome P-450 metabolite of arachidonate, 5,6-epoxyeicosatrienoic acid (5,6-EET), modulates electrogenic transport in the rabbit cortical collecting duct (CCD). 5,6-EET depolarized transepithelial voltage (VT) in a concentration-dependent manner with a maximal effect at 1 μM. None of the other EET regioisomers (8,9-, 11,12-, or 14,15-EET; all at 1 μM) affected VT. This action was also stereoselective, with 5(S),6(R)-EET producing a 2.5-fold greater effect on VT than 5(R),6(S)-EET (1 μM each). Like basolateral prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), both luminal and basolateral 5,6-EET increased cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) in the rabbit CCD. Pretreatment with cyclooxygenase inhibitors (10 μM ibuprofen or 5 μM indomethacin) completely blocked both the [Ca2+]i increase and the change in VT. Neither 5,6-epoxy-PGE1 nor 5-hydroxy-PGI1, cyclooxygenase metabolites of 5,6-EET, affected VT. However, when added to primary cultures of rabbit CCDs, 5,6-EET stimulated endogenous PGE2 synthesis. We propose that 5,6-EET stimulates endogenous prostaglandin synthesis, which inhibits electrogenic ion transport in the CCD.
