title: Effects of nonanal, trans-2-nonenal and 4-hydroxy-2,3-trans-nonenal on cyclooxygenase and 12-lipoxygenase metabolism of arachidonic acid in rabbit platelets.
abstract: The effects of nonanal, trans-2-nonenal and 4-hydroxy-2,3-trans-nonenal on the formation of thromboxane B2 (TXB2), 12-hydroxy-5,8,10-heptadecatrienoic acid (HHT) and 12-hydroxy-5,8,10,14-eicosatetraenoic acid (12-HETE) from exogenous arachidonic acid in washed rabbit platelets were examined. Nonanal and trans-2-nonenal at concentrations ranging from 0.25 to 2 microM inhibited TXB2, HHT and 12-HETE formation, reducing the amounts of these three arachidonic acid metabolites by 50% at nonanal and trans-2-nonenal concentrations of approximately 0.25 microM. The inhibition of TXB2, HHT and 12-HETE formation induced by 4-hydroxy-2,3-trans-nonenal (50% inhibition by 4-hydroxy-2,3-trans-nonenal at a concentration of approximately 100 microM) was 400 times weaker than that induced by nonanal and trans-2-nonenal. These results suggest that nonanal and trans-2-nonenal can be modulators of platelet arachidonic acid metabolism by affecting the activity of cyclooxygenase and 12-lipoxygenase.
