title: Prostaglandin H synthase of mouse macrophages: inhibiting and activating action of ibuprofen.
abstract: The effect of low (10(-10)-10(-14 M) ibuprofen concentrations on the release of labeled arachidonic acid metabolites by mouse peritoneal macrophages containing a constitutive isoform of prostaglandin H synthase was investigated. It was found that during the activation the cells metabolized AA through the cyclooxygenase pathway, synthesizing PGE2 (110 +/- 10 ng per 10(6) cells), PGF(2 alpha) (120 +/- 15 ng per 10(6) cells), and TxB2 (48 +/- 5 ng per 10(6) cells). Incubation of the macrophages with 10(-12) M ibuprofen leads to a sharp increase of PGf2 and PGF(2 alpha) synthesis (315 +/- 84 and 320 +/- 20 ng per 10(6) cells, respectively). A microsomal preparation of macrophage PGH-synthase was compared with PGH-synthase of ram seminal vesicles and analogy of their properties was shown (Km = 5.3.10(-5) M, IC50, ibuprofen = 15 microM). Some particularities of the PGH-synthase consecutive isoform (PGH-synthase-1) cellular regulation are discussed.
