Leukotriene C_4 biosynthesis in isolated August rat peritoneal leukocytes

摘要


THE mixed leukocyte population obtained from the peritoneum of the August rat is a potentially important experimental model of inherent eosinophilia that has not been well characterized. In the present study, isolated cell preparations generated a concentration-dependent release of leukotriene (LT) C_4 when exposed to the Ca^(2+) ionophore A23187, reaching maximal stimulation at 5.0 μM. This response was inhibited by the 5- lipoxygenase activating protein antagonist MK- 886 (0.1 μM), nominally Ca^(2+) and Mg(2+)-free incubation media and by activation of protein kinase C via phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (50nM). These findings establish a model system for investigating LTC_4 profiles contingent with innate peritoneal eosinophilia and are consistent with the hypothesis that cellular LTC_4 biosynthesis is phosphoregulated.
