Cyp2c39, a member of the cytochrome P450 family, is a key player in arachidonic acid metabolism, specifically as an arachidonic acid 11,12-epoxygenase. Located in the endoplasmic reticulum and membrane-bound organelles, it exhibits crucial activities in the cytoplasm and intracellular membrane-bounded organelles. The gene is implicated in various diseases, including Plasmodium falciparum malaria, eosinophilic esophagitis, glucose metabolism diseases, invasive aspergillosis, and multiple chemical sensitivity.
Activation of Cyp2c39 involves a complex interplay of signaling pathways influenced by various chemicals. Clofibrate and Fenofibrate act as direct activators, enhancing the enzyme's 11,12-epoxygenase activity and modulating lipid metabolism. AUDA and Resveratrol directly activate Cyp2c39 by preserving epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), contributing to vasodilation and anti-inflammatory effects. Indirect activators like GW7647, Troglitazone, and WY-14643 influence PPAR agonists, upregulating Cyp2c39 expression and enhancing its arachidonic acid 11,12-epoxygenase activity. Quercetin and Zileuton indirectly activate Cyp2c39 by inhibiting LOX and 5-LOX, respectively, promoting the redirection of arachidonic acid towards epoxygenase pathways. Montelukast and Losartan indirectly activate Cyp2c39 by influencing arachidonic acid metabolism, enhancing EETs synthesis. Ibuprofen indirectly activates Cyp2c39 by inhibiting COX enzymes, redirecting arachidonic acid towards epoxygenase pathways. Overall, these chemicals highlight the intricate network of pathways influencing Cyp2c39 activation, providing insights into potential strategies for modulating arachidonic acid metabolism and related diseases.
