9(10)-Nitrooleate is a mixture of the nitroalkene endogenous lipid signaling molecules 9-nitrooleate. 9(10)-Nitrooleate is formed by nitration of oleic acid by peroxynitrite, acidified nitrite, and myeloperoxidase in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and nitrite.1 It induces transactivation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) or nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) in reporter assays using MCF-7 cells when used at concentrations greater than or equal to 0.3 and greater than or equal to 3 ?M, respectively.2 9(10)-Nitrooleate also induces transactivation of PPARγ, PPARδ, or PPARα in reporter assays using CV-1 cells in a concentration-dependent manner.1 It induces adipogenesis in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes and glucose uptake in differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes when used at a concentration of 3 ?M. In vivo, 9(10)-nitrooleate (500 ?g/kg every six hours for 24 hours) decreases ischemia-induced increases in plasma levels of blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, and TNF-α and kidney levels of myeloperoxidase (Mpo) and IL-1β and reduces tubular necrosis and tubule dilation in a mouse model of renal ischemia-reperfusion injury.3
