title: Detection of a novel cyclooxygenase metabolite produced by human promyelocytic leukemia (HL-60) cells.
abstract: Arachidonic acid metabolism via the lipoxygenase pathway was examined in HL-60 cells before and after N,N-dimethylformamide induced differentiation along granulocytic lines. Untreated HL-60 cells produced small amounts of the 5-lipoxygenase products, 5-hydroxy-eicosatetraenoic acid and leukotriene B4 upon stimulation with calcium ionophore A23187. N,N-dimethylformamide treatment, caused a 10 to 20 fold increase in the amount of ionophore A23187-induced 5-lipoxygenase metabolites. An additional, and as yet unidentified arachidonic acid metabolite was routinely observed during reverse-phase high pressure liquid chromatography analyses of lipoxygenase products. Sensitivity to inhibition by less than 10(-7)M indomethacin coupled with other characteristics of its production, strongly suggest the compound is a cyclooxygenase product. The unusual UV absorbance and chromatographic elution pattern, however, suggest that it is not a typical prostaglandin, thromboxane or prostacyclin product.
