title: Differential effects of monoHETEs (monohydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids) on arachidonic acid metabolism in glycogen-elicited rat polymorphonuclear leukocytes.
abstract: We investigated the effects of monohydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (monoHETEs) on lipoxygenase- and cyclooxygenase-catalyzed reactions in glycogen-elicited rat PMNs challenged with A23187 and exogenous [14C]arachidonic acid. A23187 (10 microM) stimulated a 10-, 4-, 1.7- and 1.8-fold increase in the synthesis of radiolabeled 5-HETE, LTB4, TxB2, and PGE2 by rat PMNs. Addition of 5-HETE, 5 lactone-HETE, 12-HETE, and 15-HETE led to a dose-related reduction in [14C]5-HETE and [14C]LTB4 synthesis by these cells. These monoHETEs also inhibited [14C]TxB2 synthesis, but only 5-HETE and 5 lactone-HETE inhibited the synthesis of [14C]PGE2. Both 12-HETE and 15-HETE failed to reduce the formation of [14C]PGE2. These results suggest that monoHETEs differ significantly in their effects on arachidonic acid metabolism in rat PMNs and may play a role in modulating the synthesis of both lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase products.
