Abstract
Lipoxygenase (LOX) pathway leads to the formation of leukotrienes and also catalyses the conversion of arachidonic acid (AA) to hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acids that are then reduced to hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (HETE) by glutathione peroxidase. There are four mammalian LOXs that produce 5-, 8-, 12- and 15-HETE, respectively. Cytochrome P-450 isozymes are also capable of metabolising AA to HETEs either by bis-allylic oxidation (lipoxygenase-like reaction) to generate 5-, 8-, 9-, 11-, 12- and 15-HETE; or by varpi/varpi-1 hydroxylation to yield 16-, 17-, 18-, 19- and 20-HETEs. It is now widely recognised that HETEs have important physiological and pathological functions that modulate ion transport, renal and pulmonary functions, vascular tone and reactivity, and inflammatory and growth responses. They can be released during the action of growth factors and cytokines, reaching physiological concentrations higher than that of prostanoids and modulating the functions of these factors. Their effects can occur through receptor or non-receptor mechanisms. Recent reviews have summarised the effects of HETEs in vascular homeostasis or lung and renal physiology. The present review focuses on the emerging effects of HETEs on cell signalling and physiological cell growth. It also discusses current observations regarding the role of HETEs in apoptosis, angiogenesis, the proliferation of cancer cells and metastasis, which constitute a potential area for successful therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (HETEs) have numerous physiological effects, including modulation of cell proliferation and differentiation. However, little is known about the selective effects of HETE enantiomers on cell proliferation and cell signalling pathways involved in the regulation of cell growth. Furthermore, information on epithelial and endothelial cells growth is controversial. Recently, we demonstrated that 5-, 12-, and 15-HETE are involved in the control of 3T6 fibroblast growth though serine/treonine Akt/PKB (Akt) pathway. Here we examined the participation of both enantiomers (S and R) of HETEs in the control of 3T6 fibroblast growth. Our results show that HETEs (5-, 12-, and 15-HETE) are enantioselective on protein and DNA synthesis and 3T6 fibroblast growth. Furthermore, we observed that 12(S)-HETE induces the enhancement of cAMP and intracellular calcium concentration, whereas 12(R)-HETE was uneffective. Our findings also demonstrated that 12(S)-HETE exerts these effects through enantiospecific interactions with a cellular element, probably a plasma membrane receptor coupling to a pertussis toxin-sensitive protein G. Moreover, these elements may be involved in the activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways which induce the enhancement of cyclin D(1) levels.

Abstract
Previous studies have demonstrated that arachidonic acid (AA) metabolites released by the cyclooxygenase pathway is involved in serum-induced 3T6 fibroblast cycle progression and proliferation. However, these results also suggest that other AA cascade pathways might be involved. Recently, we also described the role of hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids, which are produced by cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (CYP), in 3T6 fibroblast growth. AA can be also metabolized by the epoxygenase activity of CYP-producing epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs). Finally, the cytosolic epoxide hydrolases catalyze the hydration of the EETs, transforming them into dihydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (DHETEs). In this work, we have studied the role of the EETs/DHETEs on 3T6 fibroblasts growth. Our results show that PDGF stimulates 3T6 fibroblast proliferation and [3H]thymidine incorporation, while the addition of 5,6-EET, 8,9-EET, 11,12-EET or 14,15-EET (0.1-1 microM) inhibit these processes. Furthermore, 5,6-DHETE and 11,12-DHETE (0.1-1 microM) also inhibit cell proliferation and DNA synthesis. Interestingly, this growth inhibition was correlated with an induction of apoptosis. Thus, we observed that in the presence of PDGF, EETs or DHETEs (0.1-1 microM) induce phosphatidylserine externalization (as measured by annexin V-binding) and DNA fragmentation (as quantified using a TUNEL assay). Our results show that calpain, as well as caspase-12 and caspase-3, are involved in these events. Therefore, EETs and DHETEs have anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic effects on PDGF-stimulated 3T6 fibroblasts.

Abstract
The importance of arachidonic acid metabolites on the control of cell growth, particularly those derived from cyclooxygenase pathway has long been recognized. Recently, we observed that prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) interaction with EP(1) and EP(4) receptors is involved in serum-induced 3T6 fibroblast growth due to their effect at various levels of the cell cycle machinery. This study shows that prostanoid EP(3) receptor was expressed in 3T6 fibroblast. We studied the role of EP(3) receptor agonist GR 63799X in serum-induced 3T6 cell proliferation. This was concentration-dependent inhibit (IC(50) approximately 10 microM) to a complete inhibition without any cytotoxic or proapoptotic effect. The prostanoid EP(3) receptor agonist treatment decreased the G(0)/G(1) and G(2)/M populations whereas cells were accumulated in S phase. This arrest in S phase was associated with a decrease in cyclin B levels and the enhancement of p21 expression. Our data show that EP(3) agonist decreases cAMP levels in our experimental conditions. Interestingly, the S arrest caused by prostanoid EP(3) receptor agonist seems to be cAMP dependent, at least in part, because forskolin treatment allowed S-arrested cells to progress through cell cycle and consequently growth. Thus, our results suggest that PGE(2) EP(3) receptor interaction may be involved in serum-induced 3T6 fibroblast growth due to their effects on cAMP levels and on cell cycle machinery of the S phase.

Abstract
Store-operated calcium (SOC) channels and capacitative Ca2+ entry play a key role in cellular functions, but their mechanism of activation remains unclear. Here, we show that thapsigargin induces [3H] arachidonic acid (AA) release, 45Ca2+ influx and a subsequent enhancement of intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i. Thapsigargin-induced elevation of [Ca2+]i was inhibited by cytochrome P-450 inhibitors and by cytochrome P-450 epoxygenase inhibitor and was reverted by 11,12 EET addition. However, cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase inhibitors have no effect. Moreover, we observed that four EETs were able to induce 45Ca2+ influx. Finally, we reported that the effect of 11,12 EET on 45Ca2+ influx was sensible to receptor-operated Ca2+ channel blockers (NiCl2, LaCl3) but not to voltage-dependent Ca2+ channel blocker as verapamil. Thus, AA released by Ca2+-independent phospholipase A2 and AA metabolism through cytochrome P-450 pathway may be crucial molecular determinant in thapsigargin activation of SOC channels and store-operated Ca2+ entry pathway in 3T6 fibroblasts. Moreover, EETs, the main cytochrome P-450 epoxygenase metabolites of AA, are involved in thapsigargin-stimulated Ca2+ influx. In summary, our results suggest that EETs are components of calcium influx factor(s).

Abstract
Penicillium was used to immobilize Saccharomyces cerevisiae, without using physico-chemical external supports, to form yeast biocapsules. The biocapsules, once the Penicillium was killed by the ethanol produced, were used in a grape must fermentation. Must fermentation was carried out for 160 h with the biocapsules and for 300 h with free yeast cells. Acetaldehyde (84 vs. 63 mg/l), isobutanol (217 vs. 194 mg/l), L: -proline (7.7 vs. 6.5 mM: ) and aspartic acid (0.42 vs. 0 mM: ) in final wine were higher with the biocapsules than with free cells.

Abstract
Uncontrolled production of reactive oxygen species contributes to the pathogenesis of diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular disorders. Olive oil exerts remarkable preventive effects on the development of these diseases, which may be due to the action of various components of the olive oil. In fact, several findings suggest that minor components, like phytosterols such as beta-sitosterol, are responsible, at least in part, for these beneficial effects. Our results show that beta-sitosterol reverts the impairment of the glutathione/oxidized glutathione ratio induced by phorbol esters in RAW 264.7 macrophage cultures. These data can be correlated with the increase in manganese superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase activities and the decrease in catalase activity. We also demonstrate that the effects of beta-sitosterol on antioxidant enzymes depend on the estrogen/phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase pathway.

Abstract
Musts from rotten grapes typically contain high levels of gluconic acid, which can raise severe problems in winemaking processes. In this work, the ability of the glucose-transport-deficient mutant YGS-5 of Schizosaccharomyces pombe to completely or partly remove gluconic acid from a synthetic glucose-containing medium and the potential use of this yeast strain for the same purpose in musts and wines were examined. Surprisingly, the S. pombe YGS-5 strain successfully removed 93% of the initial gluconic acid (2.5 gL(-1)) and 80% of the initial malic acid (1.0 gL(-1)) within 30 h after inoculation. Also, the yeast strain produced no volatile compounds other than those obtained in fermentations conducted with the wine yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. S. pombe YGS-5 could thus be used to remove gluconic acid present in musts from rotten grapes. On the basis of these results, various ways of using S. pombe YGS-5 to treat musts containing gluconic acid in order to solve the problems due to the high gluconic acid concentrations in botrytized grape must are proposed.

Abstract
Volatile compounds have been determined in control dry sherry wines and those supplemented with gluconic acid, which were inoculated with the Schizosaccharomyces pombe 1379 (ATCC 26760) yeast strain. These compounds were grouped, according to volatiles exhibiting the identical odor quality, into nine groups of the same odor character (aromatic series) as a way of establishing the aroma profile for the studied wines. Control and supplemented wines showed changes in the balsamic, spicy, roasty, and fruity aromatic series, and tasters judged the aroma as typical of wines subjected to biological aging. This fission yeast may be used as a treatment to reduce gluconic acid contents in wines obtained from rotten grapes, making feasible the incorporation of these wines into the biological aging process. In addition, this procedure may also help to accelerate the traditional biological aging in sherry winemaking due to the contribution of some specific compounds by S. pombe to the wine.

Abstract
Schizosaccharomyces pombe 1379 (ATCC 26760) yeast strain in wine substantially increases acetaldehyde and 1,1-diethoxyethane concentrations and to decreases levo-2,3-butanediol, glycerol, acetoin, and gluconic acid concentrations. In this study, S. pombe has been used for the first time to reduce gluconic acid in wine under aerobic conditions. Only acetaldehyde and acetoin exhibited significantly higher levels in the wines containing gluconic acid. The high in vitro specific activity of alcohol dehydrogenase observed may be directly related to the high production of acetaldehyde by the studied fission yeast.

Abstract
Minor components of virgin olive oil may explain the healthy effects of the Mediterranean diet on the cardiovascular system and cancer development. The uncontrolled production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and arachidonic acid (AA) metabolites contributes to the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease and cancer, and inflammatory cells infiltrated in the atheroma plaque or tumor are a major source of ROS and eicosanoids. We aimed to determine the effects of squalene, beta-sitosterol, and tyrosol, which are representative of the hydrocarbons, sterols, and polyphenols of olive oil, respectively, on superoxide anion (O2(-)), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and nitric oxide (*NO) levels. We also studied AA release and eicosanoid production by phorbol esters (PMA)-stimulated macrophages RAW 264.7. beta-Sitosterol and tyrosol decreased the O2(-) and H2O2 production induced by PMA, and tyrosol scavenged the O2(-) released by a ROS generating system. These effects were correlated with the impairment of [3H]AA release, cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression, and prostaglandin E(2)/leukotriene B(4) synthesis in RAW 264.7 cultures stimulated by PMA. beta-Sitosterol exerted its effects after 3-6 h of preincubation. Tyrosol inhibited the [3H]AA release induced by exogenous ROS. beta-Sitosterol and tyrosol also reduced the *NO release induced by PMA, which was correlated with the impairment of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) levels. This may be correlated with the modulation of NF-kappaB activation. Further studies are required to gain more insight into the potential healthy effects of minor components of extra virgin olive oil.

Abstract
Flor yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae (capensis G1) strain assimilates gluconic acid during the aerobic biological aging process of sherry wines and exerts significant changes on the final volatile compounds of wines, especially a decrease in volatile acidity and butanoic, isobutanoic, 2-methylbutanoic, and 3-methylbutanoic acids. This decrease may have a favorable effect on the quality of sherry wines.

Abstract
Several studies indicate that phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) expression and/or activation account for the high levels of arachidonic acid (AA) detected in cancer and, together with the elevated expression of cyclooxygenase-2, lead to cell proliferation and tumor formation. Using Caco-2 cells, a human colorectal carcinoma cell, we studied the role of high-molecular-weight PLA(2)s, cytosolic PLA(2) (cPLA(2)), and calcium-independent PLA(2) (iPLA(2)) in the AA cascade and in cell growth. Treatment with an antisense oligonucleotide against cPLA(2)alpha decreased [(3)H]AA release induced by ionophore A23187 or by a phorbol ester but did not affect the release of [(3)H]AA, [(3)H]thymidine incorporation, or Caco-2 growth induced by fetal calf serum (FCS). However, these parameters were significantly modified by iPLA(2) inhibitors and by an antisense oligonucleotide against iPLA(2)beta. Our results show that iPLA(2) was involved in AA release and the subsequent prostaglandin production induced by serum. Moreover, these data indicate that iPLA(2) may be involved in the signaling pathways involved in the control of Caco-2 proliferation.

Abstract
There is evidence of molecular cross talk between inflammatory mediators such as nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandins (PG), which may regulate tissue homeostasis and contribute to pathophysiological processes. Here we examine the role of endogenous arachidonic acid (AA) and its AA metabolites in the regulation of NO release by lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated macrophages RAW 264.7. Our results suggest that bromoenol lactone-sensitive phospholipase A(2) is involved in AA release and the subsequent PG and leukotriene (LT) production. The cyclooxygenase inhibitor, indomethacin, and lipoxygenase inhibitors such as baicalein and zileuton blocked the dose-dependent PGE(2) or LTB(4) and nitrite (NO(2)(-)) production induced by LPS. Furthermore, the effects of indomethacin were reverted by exogenous PGE(2) and forskolin, whereas AH23848B, an EP(4) PGE(2) subtype receptor antagonist, decreased NO(2)(-) release. On the other hand, the effect of baicalein on NO(-)(2) production was reverted by exogenous LTB(4) and the fibrate WY 14,643, a natural and a synthetic peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPAR alpha), respectively. Thus, PGE(2) via EP(4) receptor/cAMP and LTB(4) via PPAR alpha may be involved in the control of NO synthesis by LPS in macrophage RAW 264.7 cultures.

Abstract
Previously, we reported a growth-dependent change in prostaglandin production as a consequence of a marked growth-dependent alteration in arachidonic acid (AA) mobilization from phospholipids. Our present results show that fetal calf serum (FCS) and 4 beta-phorbol-12-myristate acetate (PMA) caused an enhancement of phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) activity in the membrane fraction of non-confluent cells allowing PLA(2) access to its substrate and the release of AA. Western blot analysis has shown that FCS and PMA increased secreted PLA(2) (sPLA(2)) expression in non-confluent 3T6 fibroblast cultures. Moreover, FCS and PMA induced dithiothreitol-sensitive and bromoenol lactone-sensitive PLA(2) activities in cytosol and membrane fraction. However, these stimuli did not modify significantly the PLA(2) activity in both fractions when 3T6 fibroblasts reached a high cell density. This could be associated with the impairment of AA mobilization in these cell culture conditions. On the other hand, we observed that FCS and PMA induced the same prostaglandin H synthase-2 induction in non-confluent and confluent culture conditions. Moreover, the prostaglandin E(2) levels reached in cell culture supernatants were independent of the degree of confluence when AA was added exogenously. These results suggest that the changes of intracellular distribution of PLA(2) activity of sPLA(2) and iPLA(2) stimulated by exogenous stimuli may be controlled by cell density conditions which constitute an important mechanism in the regulation of prostaglandin release.

Abstract
Previous studies have shown that reactive oxygen species (ROS) enhance arachidonic acid (AA) release and the subsequent AA metabolism in macrophages. The purpose of this study was determined the implication of phospholipases A2 (PLA2s) in these events. Our results show that oxidative stress induced by exogenous adding of hydrogen peroxide or superoxide anion in macrophage RAW 264.7 and mouse peritoneal macrophage cultures caused a marked enhancement of calcium-independent PLA2 (iPLA2) activity,whereas the increment of secreted PLA2 (sPLA2) and calcium-dependent cytosolic PLA2 (cPLA2) activities were slight. This increase of iPLA2 activity by ROS was rapid and dose-dependent. ROS also induced a significant [3H] arachidonic acid (AA) release. The iPLA2 selective inhibitor, bromoenol lactone, almost completely suppressed the mobilization of [3H]AA induced by ROS whereas antisense oligonucleotide against cPLA2 did not have any appreciable effect. Thus, our data show that iPLA2 activity is involved in the mechanism by which ROS increases the availability of free AA in macrophages RAW 264.7. Moreover, the protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor, calphostin C, and calcium chelators had no effect on the [3H]AA release induced by ROS, suggesting this is a regulatory role of iPLA2.

Fish oil has a preventive role in cardiovascular and inflammatory diseases, but little is known about the effect of olive oil, which is widely consumed in Mediterranean regions. We examined the influence of dietary olive oil, corn oil and fish oil-rich diets on the production of superoxide anion (O2-) and nitric oxide (.NO) by resident macrophages stimulated by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) and their effect on arachidonic acid release, prostaglandin G/H synthase-2 (PGHS-2) expression and the subsequent prostaglandin E(2) production. Resident peritoneal macrophages stimulated by PMA from rats fed with olive oil or corn oil had the same level of O2- production, but these levels were increased by the fish oil diet. Olive oil and the fish oil diets increased .NO and decreased arachidonic acid mobilization and the production of prostaglandin E(2). PGHS-2 expression, however, was not affected by diet. We conclude that although olive oil and fish oil reduce arachidonic acid mobilization and subsequent metabolism through the PGHS-2 pathway in PMA-stimulated macrophages, only olive oil offers an additional beneficial effect by increasing .NO/O2- production.

Abstract
Recently, we suggested that arachidonic acid and/or its cyclooxygenase pathway metabolites may be involved in regulating 3T6 fibroblast proliferation. In the present study we evaluate the role of high-molecular phospholipase A2 (PLA2) enzymes in the 3T6 fibroblast growth. Our results demonstrate that the cytosolic PLA2 inhibitor, arachidonyl trifluoromethylketone and the cytosolic calcium-independent PLA2 (iPLA2) inhibitor, bromoenol lactone, decrease arachidonic acid release and prostaglandin E2 production in 3T6 fibroblast cultures stimulated by fetal calf serum. These effects were correlated with the impairment of 3T6 fibroblast proliferation and DNA synthesis at the S/G2 boundary, which prolongs the S phase. These data suggest a role of iPLA2 in the control of 3T6 fibroblast growth.

Abstract
This review focuses on the role of antiflammins in the regulation of the inflammatory response, in particular acute inflammation. The results show that antiflammins were effective on several classical models of inflammation. Preliminary data suggest that antiflammin action may be due to their ability to suppress leukocyte trafficking to the lesion.

Abstract
We studied the effect of antiflammin-2 (AF-2) on adhesion molecule expression by HL-60 cells and endothelial (ECV304) cells stimulated by lipopolysaccharides (LPSs), and on leukocyte-endothelial cell interaction in an in vitro coculture system. The action of AF-2 on prostanoid production in these experimental conditions was also tested. LPS increased the adhesion molecule expression, such as lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 and membrane attack complex-1 on HL-60 cells and E-selectin and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 on ECV304 cells. The LPS-stimulated adhesion molecule expression on HL-60/ECV304 coculture system was higher than on HL-60 or ECV304 cultures. LPS also induced HL-60 adhesion to ECV304 monolayer and thromboxane B(2) and prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) production in HL-60 culture and PGE(2) in ECV304 culture. Prostanoid production by HL-60/ECV304 cocultures was higher than by simple cultures. AF-2 inhibited the enhancement of adhesion molecule expression induced by LPSs, especially E-selectin. Thus, AF-2 significantly reduced the HL-60 adhesion to endothelial cells stimulated by LPSs. AF-2 also inhibited prostanoid synthesis by ECV304 cells or HL-60/ECV304 coculture challenged by LPSs. In conclusion, AF-2 reduced HL-60 adhesion to endothelial cells, suggesting that it reduces inflammation by blocking leukocyte trafficking and the subsequent eicosanoid production.

Abstract
Previous results suggested that the cyclooxygenase-2 pathway and prostaglandins might modulate 3T6 fibroblast growth. This study shows the effect of resveratrol on the main elements of arachidonic acid (AA) cascade and 3T6 fibroblast growth. The polyphenol reduced the reactive oxygen species production stimulated by fetal calf serum or platelet-derived growth factor, as well as phospholipase A(2) activity translocation and the subsequent [(3)H]AA release and prostaglandin E(2) synthesis induced by these growth factors. A Western blot analysis demonstrated that cyclooxygenase-2 induction stimulated by fetal calf serum or platelet-derived growth factor was inhibited by resveratrol. The effects of resveratrol on AA cascade were correlated with an impairment of 3T6 fibroblast proliferation and DNA synthesis. These results suggest that reactive oxygen species and AA, and/or prostaglandins such as prostaglandin E(2) might be involved in the control of 3T6 fibroblast growth by resveratrol.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to elucidate the role of NO and O2 on enzymatic components of cyclooxygenase (COX) pathway in peritoneal macrophages. Activation of murine peritoneal macrophages by lipopolysaccharides (LPS) resulted in time-dependent production of nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). This stimulation was also accompanied by the production of other reactive oxygen species such as superoxide (O2-), and by increased expression of COX-2. Our results provide evidence that O2- may be involved in the pathways that result in arachidonate release and PGE2 formation by COX-2 in murine peritoneal macrophages stimulated by LPS. However, we were not able to demonstrate that NO participates in the regulation of PG production under our experimental conditions.

Abstract
Resveratrol is a natural molecule with antioxidant action. Moreover, resveratrol is also considered to be a molecule with anti-inflammatory action, an effect attributed to suppression of prostaglandin (PG) biosynthesis. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of resveratrol, a polyphenol present in most red wines, on reactive oxygen species formation as well as on arachidonic acid (AA) release, cyclooxygenase expression, and PG synthesis in murine resident peritoneal macrophages. Results show that resveratrol exerted a strong inhibitory effect on superoxide radical (O2-) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) produced by macrophages stimulated by lipopolysaccharides (LPS) or phorbol esters (PMA). Resveratrol also significantly decreased [3H]AA release induced by LPS and PMA or by exposure to O2- or H2O2. Resveratrol treatment caused a significant impairment of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) induction stimulated by LPS and PMA or by O2- or H2O2 exposure. These effects of resveratrol on [3H]AA release and COX-2 overexpression were correlated with a marked reduction of PG synthesis. Our results indicate that the antioxidant action of resveratrol affects AA mobilization and COX-2 induction.
