چکیده
Theophylline and 1-methyl-3-isobutylxanthine (MIX), compounds that block eicosanoid formation and modulate phospholipase A2 activity, inhibited in a dose-dependent manner the formation of both leukotriene B4 (LTB4) and platelet-activating factor (PAF) by human polymorphonuclear leucocytes (PMN) in response to ionophore A23187. Theophylline and MIX lacked any inhibitory effect on acetyl-CoA: lyso-PAF acetyltransferase activity, which is the rate-limiting step for PAF biosynthesis in PMN. The effect of theophylline and MIX on PAF formation could be reversed by incubating the cells in the presence of 1-10 microM exogenous lyso-PAF. Incubation of PMN homogenates in the presence of unsaturated non-esterified fatty acids resulted in dose-dependent inhibition of the acetyltransferase. This effect was linked to the presence of a free carboxyl group, since both arachidonic acid methyl ester and palmitoyl-arachidonoyl phosphatidylcholine lacked inhibitory activity. This inhibitory effect was also dependent on the number of double bonds, since arachidonic acid (C20:4) and eicosapentaenoic acid (C20:5) displayed maximal effect. Kinetic analysis showed that the effect of arachidonic acid was consistent with competitive inhibition, with a Ki value of about 19 microM. Oxidative metabolites of arachidonic acid showed a lesser inhibitory effect with the following order of potency: arachidonic acid greater than 15-HETE (15-hydroxy-6,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoic acid) greater than LTB4 greater than 5-HETE (5-hydroxy-6,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoic acid) greater than lipoxin A4. Examination of enzymes involved in CoA-dependent acylation revealed a low activity of both arachidonoyl-CoA synthetase and arachidonoyl-CoA: lyso-PAF arachidonoyltransferase. These data indicate a strong influence on PAF biosynthesis of the products of the phospholipase A2 reaction, with lyso-PAF disposal being a critical event for PAF formation, and unsaturated fatty acids acting as feed-back inhibitors. The conversion of arachidonic acid via oxidative metabolism into less active inhibitors of acetyl-CoA:lyso-PAF acetyltransferase seems to be an additional mechanism of modulation of this enzyme activity, linked to the function of lipoxygenases. Finally, the enzyme activities involved in arachidonoyl-CoA-dependent acylation of lyso-PAF show a low efficiency in capturing arachidonic acid.

In vitro and in vivo effects of treatment by platelet-activating factor on N-formyl-met-leu-phe-mediated responses of polymorphonuclear leucocytes.
Two chemoattractants, the peptide N-formyl-met-leu-phe (FMLP), and the ether phospholipid, platelet activating factor (PAF), each stimulate a variety of in vitro responses in polymorphonuclear leucocytes (PMN). Because often more than one inflammatory mediator is active during inflammation, we determined the effect on PMN of sequential stimulation with these two agents. Before FMLP stimulation,...
