Abstract
Piriprost and nordihydroguiaretic acid (NDGA), specific inhibitors of arachidonate lipoxygenase, inhibited phytohaemagglutinin (PHA)-stimulated breakdown of inositol lipids in human T lymphocytes. The dual inhibitors eicosatetraynoic acid (ETYA) and BW 755C, which inhibit both lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase, also had similar actions, whereas indomethacin and acetylsalicyclic acid, which inhibit cyclooxygenase alone, did not. The effects of lipoxygenase inhibitors and dual inhibitors were reversible. These agents did not inhibit phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate-specific phospholipase C (PIP2-PLC) in vitro. Bromophenacyl bromide, and irreversible inhibitor of phospholipase A2, also abolished PHA-stimulated inositol lipid breakdown without affecting PIP2-PLC in vitro. The results are consistent with a role for the PHA-stimulated generation of arachidonic acid and its conversion to lipoxygenase metabolites (e.g. leukotrienes and/or hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids) as intermediate steps in the signal transduction pathway between cell-surface mitogen receptors and the stimulation of PIP2-PLC in lymphocytes.Keywords
