| Abstract: | A23187, a calcium ionophore, stimulated a time-dependent generation of 5(S), 12(R)-dihydroxy-6,8,10,14-eicosatetraenoic acid (leukotriene B4), production of superoxide anion (O2?) and release of granule-associated β-glucuronidase and lysozyme by human neutrophils. Leukotriene B4 also elicited the selective release of granule enzymes from cytochalasin B-treated neutrophils. U-60,257, a recently identified inhibitor of leukotriene (LT) C4 and D4 synthesis, caused a dose-related (1–10 μM) suppression of LTB4 production by A23187-activated neutrophils. Degranulation and O2? generation by neutrophils exposed to A23187 and the chemotactic oligopeptide, N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP), were also inhibited with U-60,257. |
