title: Lipoxin A4 inhibits phosphoinositide hydrolysis in human neutrophils.
abstract: Lipoxins (LX) are trihydroxytetraene metabolites derived from arachidonic acid via an interaction between the 5- and 15-lipoxygenases. Preincubation of [3H] myo-inositol labeled PMN with 10-7M and 10-5M LXA4 for 1 minute at 37 degrees C resulted in a concentration dependent inhibition of the generation of [3H] IP3 and [3H] IP in cells subsequently stimulated by increasing doses of LTB4 or FMLP for 1 minute at 37 degrees C. Preincubation of PMN with LXA4 did not inhibit specific binding of [3H] LTB4 to PMN. These results indicate that LXA4 inhibits chemotactic factor-induced phosphoinositide hydrolysis at a post-receptor level.
