Leukotriene B4(LTB4, 5-12-dihydroxy 6,8,10,14-eicosatetraenoic acid), an enzyme-catalyzed oxidation product of arachidonic acid, is a major inflammatory mediator. Human polymorphonuclar leukocytes and rodent hepatic microsomes catabolize LTB4to 20-OH-LTB4and 20-COOH-LTB4, which is mediated by a cytochrome P-450 catalyzed reaction termed the LTB4ω-hydroxylase. In this study we investigated the catabolism of LTB4in rat, guinea pig, and human epidermis. The incubation of3H-LTB4(9 μM) for 60 mm in the presence of oxygen, NADPH, and epidermal microsomes prepared from neonatal rat (3.0 mg) or adult guinea pig (2.6 mg) resulted in the formation of 20-OH-LTB4and 20-COOH-LTB4. Metabolite identification was based on co-chromatography on high pressure liquid chromatography with highly purified reference standards. The formation of 20-OH-LTB4and 20-COOH-LTB4was accompanied by the disappearance of LTB4. The rate of formation of 20-OH-LTB4was 9-12-fold higher than that of 20-COOH-LTB4. Product formation was negligible with boiled microsomes, required NADPH and oxygen, was linear with respect to incubation time and protein, and was maximal at pH 7.4. LTB4-ω-hydroxylase activity was inhibited (>90%) by carbon monoxide or 2-diethylaminoethyl-2,2-diphenylvalerate hydrochloride (SKF-525A) (1 mM), whereas α-naphthoflavone produced only moderate (13%) or no effects. Topical application of 3-methylcholanthrene and other conventional inducers of epidermal monooxygenase activities to neonatal rats (100 mg/kg, single treatment) did not result in an increase in epidermal LTB4-ω-hydroxylase activity. The addition of3H-LTB4(30 nmoles) to primary human keratinocytes followed by incubation at 37°C resulted in time-dependent disappearance of LTB4and appearance of 20-OH-LTB4and 20-COOH-LTB4in the medium. These results suggest that LTB4is catabolized by the cytochrome P-450-dependent enzyme system in rodent and human skin and that this may participate in modulating the effects of this proinflammatory lipid in this tissue.
