title: 12-Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid upregulates P-selectin-induced tissue factor activity on monocytes.
abstract: 12-Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (12-HETE), a product of the platelet lipoxygenase pathway, amplifies tissue factor expression by P-selectin-stimulated monocytes in a time- and dose-dependent fashion. The same effect is observed when monocytes are incubated with Chinese hamster ovary cells transfected with the P-selectin cDNA. Both 5-HETE and leukotriene C4 are inactive in this system. Furthermore, the effect is not dependent on non-specific monocyte adhesion, since monocytes incubated with CHO cells expressing E-selectin do not express tissue factor, either in the presence or in the absence of 12-HETE. These results show that 12-HETE is a cofactor for the expression of tissue factor by monocytes.
