GPCR-associated signalingGPCR-associated signaling
Blood Pressure is tightly controlled by several signaling systems. Many of them involve regulation of cell functions through G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). This slide shows a Gq protein-associated pathway involved in the regulation of cytosolic Ca2+.

G proteins: peripheral membrane proteins
G proteins propagate messages from membrane receptors to effectors that control cytosolic levels of second messengers (cAMP, cGMP, IP3, DAG, ions, etc.). Lipid-protein interactions regulate the localization and activity of G proteins and, therefore, cell signaling.

Membrane lipid structure and G protein-membrane interactions
G protein -dimers have a huge preference for nonlamellar-prone membrane regions (higher PE content).
They take G protein -monomers from nearby GPCRs.

A new model of G protein activity based on their interactions with lipids
Two views of the same process. From the membrane (above) or from the cytosol (right): receptors (R) are activated by agonists (a or AG) in hexagonal phase-prone regions (H), which are loaded with G proteins (G) thanks to G. Upon activation, G goes to lamellar-prone regions (L) to regulate the activity of effectors (E, E1).

Treatments: 1, VOO; 2, 2-hydroxyoleic acid; 3, TO; 4; OA; 5, stearic acid; 6; vehicle; 7, elaidic acid; 8, soybean oil.
Decrease of BP correlates with the dose of cis-monounsaturated fatty acids (cis-MUFA). Fatty acids, rather than triacylglycerides, are involved in this effect.
Consequences for human health
1. Consumption of fats that contain cis-monounsaturated fatty acids (e.g., oleic acid) have positive effects on cardiovascular health, compared with saturated or trans-MUFA fats.
2. Because this effect has structural molecular bases, we can design molecules to regulate BP or reverse other pathological processes.

Then, I can control cell functions by regulating membrane lipid structure and composition!!!
Sure. You may even design nutritional or pharmaceutical approaches to treat human pathologies!!!

Normotensive rats

Olive oil, but not soy oil, reduces blood pressure. Triolein, the main triacylglyceride in olive oil reproduces this effect.
VOO is the oil obtained from olives by pressure at room temperature.

2-Hydroxyoleic acid (left) is an oleic acid (center) analog that keeps most structural properties of oleic acid and differs from elaidic acid (pink) in its interaction with membranes (right).

2-Hydroxyoleic acid treatments induce restoration of Adenyly cyclase activity in rat aorta. Adenyly cyclase produces cAMP, which in turn regulates PKA.

2-Hydroxyoleic acid treatments induce restoration of PKA activity in aorta ofhypertensive rats and do not change PKA activity in normotensive rats.

-Adrenoceptor signaling pathway
Epinephrine activates -adrenoceptors, which in turn activate a Gs protein. Gs proteins activate adenylyl cyclase, that produce cAMP and activate PKA.

How Oleic Acid in olive oil reduces blood pressure. P.V. Escribá & J.E. Halver
The use of a specific PKA inhibitor in rats treated with 2-hydroxyoleic acid reversed the hypotensive effect of this drug. This result demonstrates that the proposed mechanism of the hypotensive effects of 2-hydroxyoleic acid (via Gs protein, adenyly cyclase and PKA) operates in vivo.In normotensive animals (treated and untreated) and hypertensive rats not treated with 2-hydroxyoleic acid, no blood pressure reductions were observed (data not shown), indicating that the effect cannot be attributed to the PKA inhibitor itself.In addition, this effect was time- and concentration-dependent.
Effects of withdrawal of 2-OHOA on systolic BP and aortic PKA subunit levels in SHRs
How Oleic Acid in olive oil reduces blood pressure. P.V. Escribá & J.E. Halver
After treatments with 2-hydroxyoleic acid, blood pressure started to rise to reach their initial high values about two weeks after the administration of the last dose. This slow recovery of blood pressure indicates that the modification induced by the fatty acid occurs on membrane lipids, whose turnover is slower.
Effects of 2-OHOA treatment (600 mg/kg every 12 h) for 7 days on Rho kinase II levels in aortas from SHRs and WKY rats
How Oleic Acid in olive oil reduces blood pressure. P.V. Escribá & J.E. Halver
Rho kinase also appeared to be markedly increased in hypertensive rats. Treatment with 2-OHOA reduced the expression of this protein to normal levels. This result indicates that besides PKA, vascular cell’s cytoskeleton is also regulated by this compound.
CONCLUSION
The CIS structure of Oleic Acid fits neatly into the phospholipid structure of biomembranes, and alters receptor sites on the membrane surface, to regulate blood pressure. Q.E.D.
