Epoxygenases belong to the cytochrome P450 family. They generate
epoxyeicosatrienoic acids, which are known to have anti-inflammatory effects, but
little is known about their role in macrophage function. By high-throughput
sequencing of RNA in primary macrophages derived from rodents and humans, we
establish the relative expression of epoxygenases in these cells. Zinc-finger
nuclease-mediated targeted gene deletion of the major rat macrophage epoxygenase
Cyp2j4 (ortholog of human CYP2J2) resulted in reduced epoxyeicosatrienoic acid
synthesis. Cyp2j4(-/-) macrophages have relatively increased peroxisome
proliferator-activated receptor-? levels and show a profibrotic transcriptome,
displaying overexpression of a specific subset of genes (260 transcripts)
primarily involved in extracellular matrix, with fibronectin being the most
abundantly expressed transcript. Fibronectin expression is under the control of
epoxygenase activity in human and rat primary macrophages. In keeping with the in
vitro findings, Cyp2j4(-/-) rats show upregulation of type I collagen following
unilateral ureter obstruction of the kidney, and quantitative proteomics analysis
(liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry) showed increased renal type I
collagen and fibronectin protein abundance resulting from experimentally induced
crescentic glomerulonephritis in these rats. Taken together, these results
identify the rat epoxygenase Cyp2j4 as a determinant of a profibrotic macrophage
transcriptome that could have implications in various inflammatory conditions,
depending on macrophage function.
