The chemotactic peptide N-formyl-Nle-Leu-Phe-Nle-Tyr-Lys stimulates the release of arachidonic acid from endogenous phospholipids of the human promyelocytic leukemia cell line HL60. This release of unsaturated fatty acid is augmented by the presence of exogenously added lipoxygenase product, 5-hydroperoxy-arachidonic acid (5-HPETE). Other hydroperoxy- and hydroxy-arachidonic acid derivatives are less potent. In addition, saturated fatty acids and hydrogen peroxide do not possess this ability to augment arachidonic acid release. None of the arachidonic acid derivatives are capable of stimulating the release of arachidonic acid from endogenous phospholipids in the absence of the chemotactic peptide. 相似文献

By using high performance liquid chromatography with simultaneous detection of unlabeled and radiolabeled product of lipoxygenase oxidation of arachidonic acid, the mechanism of exogenous arachidonate involvement in leukotriene synthesis in human neutrophils induced by the Ca2+ ionophore A23187 was studied. It was found that after addition of labeled arachidonate the specific radioactivity of the reaction product (leukotriene B4) does not change on a time scale, i.e., the free arachidonic acid exchange between the cell and extracellular space is a very rapid process. Exogenous arachidonic acid was found to be the substrate of the lipoxygenase reaction which acts in parallel with the endogenous one. The dependence of specific radioactivity of leukotriene B4 in added arachidonic acid concentration is described by a hyperbolic curve with saturation. When exogenous arachidonate is used at a concentration of 10.8 +/- 3.9 microM, that of intracellular arachidonic acid increases twofold at the expense of the exogenously added acid. 相似文献

We have compared the metabolism of (3H) arachidonic acid by monolayers of human amnion, cells obtained prior to or following labor at term. Radiolabel was either added exogenously or previously incorporated into cellular phospholipid pools to compare metabolism of arachidonic acid from different substrate sources. Cells obtained both prior to and following labor synthesized metabolites co-chromatographing on HPLC with di- and mono-HETEs and also a metabolite with polarity corresponding to a epoxyeicosatrienoic acid. Both types of cells were able to synthesize PGE2 when (3H) arachidonic acid was added exogenously. However, only those cells obtained following labor synthesized PGE2 from (3H) arachidonic acid incorporated into intracellular pools. These findings suggest that the cyclooxygenase and PGE2 isomerase enzymes are present in amnion prior to delivery but that exogenous arachidonic acid would be required for PGE2 synthesis at that time as the enzymes do not appear to be linked to a source of endogenous arachidonic acid. At the time of parturition, there may be a switching on of an enzyme system to generate arachidonic acid from intracellular pools specifically for PGE2 synthesis or alternatively coupling of such a system to a cyclooxygenase-PGE2 isomerase system resulting in PGE2 synthesis. These findings raise intriguing new possibilities for the regulation of eicosanoid synthesis in amnion which may include membrane topography, substrate pool-enzyme linking and regulation of specific phospholipase enzymes. 相似文献

The appearance of phospholipase activity in the human macrophage-like cell line U937 during dimethyl sulfoxide induced differentiation 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The human histiocyte cell line, U937, with monocyte characteristics, can be induced to differentiate into macrophage-like cells when exposed to growth medium containing 1.5% DMSO. Following three days of exposure, DMSO-treated but not control U937 cells can be stimulated to release endogenous arachidonic acid from their phospholipids. Maximum release of the unsaturated fatty acid occurs with 10 microM calcium ionophore in the presence but not in the absence of exogenously added calcium ion. In addition, DMSO-treated but not control U937 cells exhibit phospholipase activity when exposed to human IgG and then anti-human immunoglobulin. These data suggest that with respect to arachidonic acid metabolism U937 cells differentiate into functional macrophage-like cells when exposed to DMSO. 相似文献

Zymosan and phorbol ester induced in liver macrophages the release of arachidonic acid, prostaglandin E2, and superoxide; the calcium ionophore A 23187 elicited a release of arachidonic acid and prostaglandin E2 but not of superoxide, and exogenously added arachidonic acid led to the formation of prostaglandin E2 only. The zymosan- and phorbol-ester-induced release of arachidonic acid, prostaglandin E2, and superoxide was dose-dependently inhibited by staurosporine and K252a, two inhibitors of protein kinase C, and by pretreatment of the cells with phorbol ester which desensitized protein kinase C. The release of arachidonic acid or prostaglandin E2 following the addition of A 23187 or arachidonic acid was not affected by these treatments. Zymosan and phorbol ester but not A 23187 or arachidonic acid induced a translocation of protein kinase C from the cytosol to membranes in intact cells. These results demonstrate an involvement of protein kinase C in the zymosan- and phorbol-ester-induced release of arachidonic acid, prostaglandin E2, and superoxide; the release of arachidonic acid and prostaglandin E2 elicited by A 23187 and the formation of prostaglandin E2 from exogenously added arachidonic acid, however, is independent of an activation of protein kinase C. 相似文献

Conversion of linoleic acid into arachidonic acid by cultured murine and human keratinocytes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The origin of arachidonic acid (AA) found in the epidermis is not known. Two possibilities exist: either de novo synthesis within the epidermal keratinocyte, or transport of AA formed at distant tissue sites. The current study examined the ability of cultured murine and human keratinocytes to metabolize exogenously added linoleic acid (LA). Conversion of radiolabeled substrate (14C-LA) into 18:3(n-6), 20:2(n-6), 20:3(n-6), and 20:4(n-6) (AA) was noted. The conversion of non-radiolabeled 18:3(n-6) or 20:2(n-6) was also examined and the pattern of metabolites synthesized suggests that the preferred metabolic pathway for conversion of linoleic acid into arachidonic acid is via the classically described pathway in which a delta 6 desaturase constitutes the initial reaction. Although cultured skin fibroblasts are known to convert linoleic acid into arachidonic acid, the current study demonstrates that cultured epidermal keratinocytes can also avidly metabolize exogenous linoleic acid. The ability of cultured keratinocytes, and not of whole epidermis in vivo, to convert linoleic acid into arachidonic acid suggests that specific enzymatic activities may be induced by the tissue culture system itself. Hence, findings of metabolic capabilities in cultured cells may not necessarily be extrapolated to the in vivo situation. 相似文献

Effects of postdecapitation ischemia on the metabolism of [14C]arachidonic acid and [14C]palmitic acid in the mouse brain 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The effect of postdecapitation ischemia on the labeling of the free fatty acid pool and their incorporation in lipids was examined during the first 10 min after decapitation in mouse brain that had been injected intracerebrally with either [1-14C]arachidonic acid or [1-14C]palmitic acid. One min after decapitation, animals injected with labeled arachidonic acid exhibited a greatly reduced incorporation of label in brain phospholipids, diglycerides, and triglycerides. When radioactive palmitic acid was used, brain lipids exhibited considerably less inhibition of label. However, a similar degree of inhibition was observed 10 min after decapitation with both fatty acids. At this time, free arachidonic acid had decreased 84% as compared to the 24% decrease observed in the controls, and about 77% of the free palmitic acid remained in the free fatty acid fraction as compared with 30% in the controls. This decreased labeling may reflect ATP shortage that affects the fatty acid activation-reacylation reactions or the enzymes involved. Alternatively, the enhanced endogenous free arachidonic acid may compete with the radiolabeled arachidonic acid resulting in an inhibition of lipid labeling. Inhibition of label may have been greater in radiolabeled arachidonic acid than palmitic because of the larger accumulation of the former endogenous fatty acid during early ischemia. 相似文献

14C-labeled arachidonic acid bioconversion in guinea pig placenta during the last third of gestation
In the present study we investigated the arachidonic acid metabolism in guinea pig placenta during the last third of gestation. Homogenates were incubated with 14C-labeled substrate, and eicosanoid formation was determined using rp HPLC. Arachidonic acid was substantially converted to cyclooxygenase products i.e 6-keto-PGF1 alpha, TxB2, PGF2 alpha, PGE2, PGD2 and 12-HHT. Lipoxygenase activity was also found but of a much lower degree and represented by the mono-hydroxy acids 12-HETE and 15-HETE. The total conversion of arachidonic acid exhibited a progressive rise from day 50 to term, due principally to the increasing part of TxB2, PGE2 and 12-HHT throughout this gestational period and in addition, near term, of 6-keto-PGF1 alpha and PGF2 alpha. These results suggest that there is an increasing concentration and/or activity of cyclooxygenase system enzymes with placental development in guinea pig, which may contribute to the augmented intrauterine availability of prostanoids near parturition. Additional experiments were performed to compare the metabolism of exogenously added 14C-arachidonic acid and endogenously present 12C-arachidonic acid during placental homogenate incubation by means of isotope dilution GC-MS. Although the 14C- and 12C-prostanoid patterns were comparable, the 14C/12C ratios of the prostanoids formed during incubation were significantly different. These data indicate that exogenous arachidonic acid and endogenous arachidonic acid in placental homogenate do not follow up exactly the same metabolic pathway so that the assumption of biochemical identity between exogenous radio-tracer and studied endogenous substrate is not quite true. 相似文献

a simple gas chromatographic method for the assay of phospholipase A2 (PLA2) has been described in which arachidonic acid released from endogenous phospholipid pools is measured following its extraction and derivatization to pentafluorobenzyl esters. Using this assay, PLA2 activities in control and calcium ionophore-stimulated human neutrophils, as well as in control, thrombin, and calcium ionophore stimulated human platelets, have been measured. These values are compared with those obtained by monitoring the release of radioactivity from [3H]- or [14C]arachidonic acid prelabeled cells. While the radiometric assay measures only the release of exogenously incorporated radioactive arachidonic acid, the gas chromatographic assay measures arachidonic acid released from all the endogenous pools. Thus, the apparent increase in PLA2 activity in stimulated cells measured by the gas chromatographic assay is four- to fivefold higher than that by the radiometric assay. Inclusion of fatty acid free bovine serum albumin in the reaction buffer significantly increases the amount of arachidonic acid that is measured by gas chromatography. The gas chromatographic method has also been successfully utilized for measuring PLA2 activity in cell-free preparations derived from physically disrupted human neutrophils. 相似文献

The two long-chain alkylamines RO 31-4493 and RO 31-4639 inhibit in a concentration-dependent manner the zymosan-induced release of arachidonic acid, the conversion of arachidonic acid into thromboxane, prostaglandin E2 and D2 and the uptake and incorporation of exogenously added arachidonate into membrane lipids of liver macrophages. The generation of superoxide and the formation of inositol phosphates is not influenced by both agents. These results suggest a rather specific interaction of RO 31-4493 and RO 31-4639 with enzymes involved in the cellular metabolism of arachidonic acid. 相似文献

Resident mouse peritoneal macrophages when exposed to zymosan during the first day of cell culture synthesize and secrete large amounts of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and leukotriene C4 (LTC4), the respective products of cyclo-oxygenase- and 5-lipoxygenase-catalysed oxygenations of arachidonic acid. Under these conditions of cell stimulation only small amounts of hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (HETEs) are concomitantly produced. However, exogenously added arachidonic acid is metabolized to large amounts of 12- and 15-HETE and only relatively small amounts of PGE2. No LTC4 is formed under these conditions. In contrast, resident mouse peritoneal macrophages in cell culture for 4 days synthesized less PGE2 and LTC4 when exposed to zymosan. However, these macrophage populations continue to synthesize 12-HETE from exogenously added arachidonic acid. Zymosan induced the secretion of a lysosomal enzyme, N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase, equally in both 1- and 4-day cultures. Both 12- and 15-hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acids (HPETEs), the precursors of 12- and 15-HETE, were found to be irreversible inhibitors of the cyclo-oxygenase pathway and reversible inhibitors of the 5-lipoxygenase pathway in macrophages. 15-HETE were found to be reversible inhibitors of both pathways. Thus the oxidation of arachidonic oxidation of arachidonic acid to both prostaglandins and leukotrienes may be under intracellular regulation by products of 12- and 15-lipoxygenases. 相似文献

Uptake, release and novel species-dependent oxygenation of arachidonic acid in human and animal airway epithelial cells 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
To determine identities of mediators and mechanisms for their release from pulmonary airway epithelial cells, we examined the capacities of epithelial cells from human, dog and sheep airways to incorporate, release and oxygenate arachidonic acid. Purified cell suspensions were incubated with radiolabeled arachidonic acid and/or ionophore A23187; fatty acid esterification and hydrolysis were traced chromatographically, and oxygenated metabolites were identified using high-pressure liquid chromatography and mass-spectrometry. In each species, cellular uptake of 10 nM arachidonic acid was concentrated in the phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylethanolamine fractions, and subsequent incubation with 5 microM A23187 caused release of 10-12% of the radiolabeled pool selectively from phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylinositol. By contrast, the products of arachidonic acid oxygenation were species-dependent and in the case of human cells were also novel: A23187-stimulated human epithelial cells converted arachidonic acid predominantly to 15-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (15-HETE) and two distinct 8,15-diols in addition to prostaglandin (PG) E2 and PGF2 alpha. Cell incubation with exogenous arachidonic acid (2.0-300 microM) led to progressively larger amounts of 15-HETE and the dihydroxy, epoxyhydroxy and keto acids characteristic of arachidonate 15-lipoxygenase. Both dog and sheep cells converted exogenous or endogenous arachidonic acid to low levels of 5-lipoxygenase products, including leukotriene B4 without significant 15-lipoxygenase activity. In the cyclooxygenase series, sheep cells selectively released PGE2, while dog cells generated predominantly PGD2. The findings demonstrate that stereotyped esterification and phospholipase activities are expressed at uniform levels among airway epithelial cells from these species, but pathways for oxygenating arachidonic acid allow mediator diversity depending greatly on species and little on arachidonic acid presentation. 相似文献

This study was designed to evaluate the effects of different amounts of dietary vitamin E on platelet tocopherol levels and 12-lipoxygenase activity when exogenous arachidonic acid was used as substrate. Weanling male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed diets containing 0, 50, and 5000 ppm of D-alpha-tocopherol acetate for 4 months. Platelet tocopherol was increased with increasing concentrations of dietary vitamin E; however, the conversion of exogenously added arachidonate by platelet to 12-HETE (12-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid) and thromboxane B2 from these three dietary groups was essentially the same. This study provides direct evidence that platelet 12-lipoxygenase activity is independent of its vitamin E content when exogenously added arachidonate was used as substrate. 相似文献

Resident peritoneal macrophages synthesized and released eicosanoids when challenged by zymosan, a phagocytosable particle. Incubation of these cells with ethanol resulted in dose-dependent inhibition of arachidonic acid release and eicosanoid generation in response to zymosan. Ethanol affected the extent but not the ratio of eicosanoids released. When assayed in a cell-free system, endogenous phospholipase A2 activity was neither affected by the presence of ethanol in the incubation medium nor by preincubation of the cells with ethanol. Ethanol also inhibited arachidonic acid release in response to phorbol myristate acetate, a compound that, like zymosan, triggered a pertussis-toxin-sensitive response. When cells that had been previously treated with pertussis toxin were used, no further inhibitory effect of ethanol was seen in response to both zymosan and phorbol myristate acetate. On the other hand, ethanol had no effect on arachidonic acid release stimulated by ionophore A23187 or lipopolysaccharide, two compounds that triggered a pertussis-toxin-insensitive response. Moreover, ethanol was able to nearly abolish arachidonic acid release in response to fluoroaluminate, a direct activator of G-proteins. Altogether, the results of this study suggest that ethanol inhibits zymosan-stimulated eicosanoid production by interacting with a G-protein — or a G-protein-mediated process — that is critically involved in arachidonic acid mobilization. 相似文献

The effect of electroconvulsive shock on the labeling of phospholipids and neutral lipids in mice brains was examined after intracerebral injection of [1-14C] arachidonic acid or [1-14C]palmitic acid. Electroconvulsive shock reduced greatly the removal of radiolabeled arachidonic acid from the free fatty acid pool. At the same time, the incorporation of arachidonic acid was partially inhibited in triacylglycerol, diacylglycerol, and phosphatidylinositol, whereas the incorporation of [1-14C]palmitic acid was not affected. Pretreatment with desipramine and pargyline potentiated the lipid effect of electroconvulsive shock in neutral glycerides. These electroconvulsive shock-induced changes reflect alterations in the metabolism of intracerebrally injected arachidonic acid, but not of similarly injected palmitic acid. From the available data whether decreased ATP, enzyme inhibition or other factors are involved cannot be ascertained. Moreover, the electroconvulsive shock-enhanced endogenous free arachidonic acid may possibly dilute the injected radiolabeled fatty acid, thus decreasing its availability for arachidonoyl-coenzyme A synthesis. Hence, a partial inhibition of the activation-acylation of these fatty acids, primarily arachidonic acid, also may be involved in the seizure-induced accumulation of free fatty acids in the brain. 相似文献

Using reverse phase high performance chromatography with UV-detection, the arachidonic acid cascade in human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) was studied. It was found that PBL oxidized arachidonic acid via the lipoxygenase pathway, 12-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (12-HETE) being the major metabolite of endogenous arachidonic acid. Exogenous arachidonic acid added to human PBL suspensions increased 12-HETE synthesis 5-7 times. In another experimental series the effects of gangliosides (GD3, GM1 and GM3) on lipoxygenase-catalyzed oxidation of arachidonic acid in human lymphocytes were investigated. All the gangliosides tested stimulated PBL to secrete 12-HETE both from endogenous and exogenous arachidonic acid. In most cases the stimulating effect of GD3 was much more apparent that those of GM1 and GM3. 相似文献

Prostaglandin synthesis in endothelial cells may be initiated by the addition of exogenous substrate (arachidonic acid) or by addition of thrombin or the CA2+-ionophore A23187, which leads to prostacyclin formation from endogenous substrates. We noticed that endothelial cells produce more than twice the amount of prostacyclin when incubated with thrombin and arachidonic acid together than with arachidonic acid alone. In addition, it was found that the thrombin-induced conversion of endogenous substrates was inhibited by exogenous arachidonic acid. This means that the conversion of exogenous added arachidonic acid to prostacyclin was stimulated by thrombin. This activation of the enzymes involved in prostacyclin synthesis lasted about 5 min and could be inhibited by phospholipase inhibitors such as mepacrine and p-bromophenyl-acylbromide but not by the cAMP analogue dibutyryl cAMP, an inhibitor of arachidonic acid release from cellular phospholipids. These data demonstrate that, in addition to causing release of endogenous substrate, thrombin and the Ca2+-ionophore also activate the enzyme system involved in the further transformation of arachidonic acid. 相似文献

The production of 5-HETE and leukotriene B in rat neutrophils from carrageenan pleural exudates 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Rat neutrophils isolated from three-hour carrageenan pleural exudates actively metabolize arachidonic acid into three major metabolites, HHT, 11-HETE and 15-HETE. However, in the presence of the calcium ionophore, A23187, or the non-ionic detergent, BRIJ 56, these cells also produce 5-HETE and LTB. The production of these lipoxygenase products is calcium dependent. While non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs do not affect 5-HETE or LTB production, BW 755C and ETYA inhibit formation of these metabolites from exogenously added arachidonic acid. 相似文献

Rat neutrophils isolated from four-hour reverse passive Arthus reaction pleural exudates actively metabolize arachidonic acid. Production of 11-hydroxy- and 15-hydroxy-icosatetraenoic acid and 12-hydroxy-heptadecatrienoic acid is inhibited by indomethacin, benoxaprofen, BW 755C, piroxicam, ibuprofen, timegadine, and naproxen, suggesting that production of these arachidonic acid metabolites occurs at similar enzymic active sites. In addition, in the presence of the calcium inophore A23187 or the non-ionic detergent, BRIJ 56, rat neutrophils also produce the lipoxygenase products 5-hydroxy-icosatetraenoic acid and leukotriene B. The production of these metabolites is calcium dependent. Moreover, the calcium ionophore A23187 and BRIJ 56 synergistically act to augment the metabolism of exogenously added arachidonic acid via lipoxygenase. The formation of these metabolites is inhibited by BW 755C, benoxaprofen and timegadine but not by other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs tested. In fact, at doses which inhibit cyclo-oxygenase activity, indomethacin, naproxen, and ibuprofen stimulate arachidonic acid metabolism via lipoxygenase. 相似文献

Effect of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) on arachidonic acid metabolism and platelet function 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Studies from our laboratory have suggested a role for ferrous iron in the metabolism of arachidonic acid and demonstrated that inhibitors of prostaglandin synthesis exert their effect by complexing with the heme group of cyclooxygenase. Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is a potent competitive inhibitor of arachidonic acid metabolism by sheep vesicular gland prostaglandin synthetase. In this study we have evaluated the effect of exogenously added DHA on platelet function and arachidonic acid metabolism. DHA at 150 microM concentration inhibited aggregation of platelets to 450 microM arachidonic acid. At this concentration DHA also inhibited the second wave of the platelet response to the action of agonists such as epinephrine, adenosine diphosphate and thrombin. Inhibition induced by this fatty acid could be overcome by the agonists at higher concentrations. DHA inhibited the conversion of labeled arachidonic acid to thromboxane by intact, washed platelet suspensions. However, platelets in plasma incubated first with DHA then washed and stirred with labeled arachidonate generated as much thromboxane as control platelets. These results suggest that the polyenoic acids, if released in sufficient quantities in the vicinity of cyclooxygenase, could effectively compete for the heme site and inhibit the conversion of arachidonic acid. 相似文献
