چکیده

Human peripheral blood polymorphonuclear leukocytes were stimulated to generate thromboxane B2 in a time- and concentration-dependent fashion upon exposure to serum-treated zymosan particles. Conversion by stimulated PMN of [14C] arachidonic acid to [14C]thromboxane B2 was confirmed by thin-layer radiochromatography, radio-gas chromatography, and mass spectrometry. Generation of thromboxane B2 was independent of platelet contamination and could be inhibited by the cyclooxygenase inhibitor, indomethacin. Cells rendered incapable of ingesting particles by treatment with cytochalasin B generated comparable amounts of thromboxane B2. These results suggest that human peripheral blood polymorphonuclear leukocytes synthesize thromboxanes in response to surface stimulation independently of phagocytosis.

Inhibitory effect of LY 255283 on the synthesis of leukotriene B4 and thromboxane A2 in human peripheral blood polymorphonuclear leukocytes and monocytes

LY 255283 [(1-(5-ethyl-2-hydroxy-4-(6-methyl-6-)1H-tetrazol-5-yl)-heptyloxy) phenyl)ethanone], a specific leukotriene B(4) (LTB(4)) receptor antagonist, inhibited the production of LTB(4) in human peripheral blood polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNL) and in monocytes activated by calcium ionophore A23187. In human monocytes activated by ionophore it inhibited also the production of thromboxane B...

Thromboxane A2 mediates augmented polymorphonuclear leukocyte adhesiveness.

We examined the role of prostaglandins and thromboxanes as mediators of plasma-dependent increased polymorphonuclear leukocyte adhesiveness induced by Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide. The cyclo-oxygenase inhibitors-indomethacin and d,l-6-chloro-alpha-methyl-carbozole-2-acetic acid (R020-5720)-reduced lipopolysaccharide-induced adherence of polymorphonuclear leukocytes by 74 and 62%, respect...

Activation of a 15-lipoxygenase/leukotriene pathway in human polymorphonuclear leukocytes by the anti-inflammatory agent ibuprofen.

Human peripheral blood polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) metabolized [14C]arachidonic acid predominantly by lipoxygenase pathways. The major products were 5-hydroxy-6,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoic acid (5-HETE) and 15-HETE. These and other lipoxygenase products, including their derived leukotrienes, have been implicated as mediators of inflammatory and allergic reactions. In human platelets, the n...

Transcellular metabolism of arachidonic acid: increased platelet thromboxane generation in the presence of activated polymorphonuclear leukocytes.

Human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) activated by n-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP), in the presence of cytochalasin B, are able to induce activation of coincubated autologous platelets "via" cathepsin G released from the azurophilic granules. However, thromboxane (Tx) B2 production in this system cannot be completely explained by cathepsin G-stimulated platelet arachidonate me...

The effects of a single oral administration of acetylsalicylic acid (500 mg), indomethacin (50 mg) and piroxicam (40 mg) to healthy volunteers on functional and biochemical parameters of platelets, polymorphonuclear (PMN) and mononuclear (MNL) leukocytes were evaluated. Blood was collected before and two hours after the drug intake and blood cells separated according to conventional techniques....
