Chemokinetic activity of arachidonic and lipoxygenase products on leuocyctes of different species.
A number of hydroperoxy (HPETE) and hydroxy (HETE) products of the lipoxygenase pathway of arachidonic acid metabolism are chemotactic and chemokinetic for human neutrophils. We have investigated the relative chemokinetic potency of some of these products on human, rat and rabbit neutrophils. The most potent lipoxygenase product studied was 5,12-dihydroxy-6,8,10-14-eicosatetraenoic acid (5,12-diHETE), which was maximally chemokinetic and chemotactic between 0.1 and 1.0ng/ml for the three species. The 5, 11 and 12-HPETEs and HETEs were chemokinetic, but less active by at least two orders of magnitude, for human and rabbit neutrophils at concentrations between 0.1 and 10micrograms/ml. 15-HPETE and 15-HETE were inactive on human leucoctes, and none of the monosubstituted products studied were chemokinetic for rat neutrophils. These results indicate that 5,12-diHETE may be an important mediator in the local accumulation of leucocytes in the inflammatory response.
