Abstract
In human panc-1 pancreatic cancer cells, actinomycin D (act D) induces a type 1 (apoptotic, extrinsic, death domain, receptor-dependent, and caspase-positive) form of programmed cell death (PCD) and MK 886, a 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor serving among other functions as a surrogate for increasing oxidative stress, a type 2 form, defined as an intrinsic, mitochondria-dependent, autophagic form of cellular suicide. Using both agents simultaneously should allow for examination of their interaction in cells able to express either form of PCD. Activation of both forms might result in synergistic, additive, null, or inhibitory effects on the reduction in proliferation, PCD, and clonogenicity of surviving cells. Co-culture of panc-1 cells with act D and MK 886, which both inhibit their proliferation, had an additive effect on increasing the development of these forms of PCD, as determined by morphology, a nucleosome assay, and flow cytometry. Initially, laddering on agarose detected with propidium iodide, present in act D, and act D plus MK 886-treated cells was partially obscured by randomly degraded DNA. With the use of the more sensitive SYBR green dye and reduced exposure of detached cells to 37 degrees C, a limited laddering of DNA from MK 886-treated cells was also detected. Caspase activity was present in act-D-cultured cells but was absent in cells cultured with MK 886. Combined culture reduced caspase activity in act D-treated cells, consistent with interference from type 2 of type 1 PCD. Removal after 48 hr of act D or MK 886 allowed regrowth of residual cells, the latter agent to a greater extent than the former. In combination, the number of clones was increased compared with act D alone. These features distinguish two forms of PCD. In therapeutic settings in which the modes of cell death have not been identified, unintentional activation of several cellular suicide pathways with "crosstalk" between them occurs. Their intentional simultaneous activation and responses, as modulated by the history of cells in or out of cycle, could reduce the intended therapeutic outcome with survival of additional clonogenic cells due to various forms of mutual interference.

Abstract
Phospholipase A2 (PLA2) enzymes release arachidonic acid from cellular phospholipids in a variety of mammalian tissues, including prostate. Group IIa secretory PLA2 (sPLA2) can generate arachidonate from cellular phospholipids. We examined the group IIa sPLA2 expression in benign prostatic tissues, prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN), and adenocarcinoma to determine whether sPLA2 expression is altered in the carcinogenesis of human prostatic cancer. Thirty-three of 74 total cases (45%) of benign prostatic tissue showed positive immunohistochemical staining for group IIA sPLA2, whereas 63 of 69 total cases (91%) of high-grade PINs and 70 of 78 total cases (90%) of adenocarcinomas gave positive results. Four of 10 cases of low-grade PIN showed positive immunoreactivity for sPLA2. The number of cells staining for sPLA2 was significantly less in benign epithelium (4%) and low-grade PIN (4%) compared to high-grade PIN (40%) or adenocarcinoma (38%) (P < 0.001). There was no significant difference between high-grade PIN and adenocarcinoma in the number of cells staining positively for sPLA2. The intensity of sPLA2 immunoreactivity was also different among benign prostatic tissue, low-grade PIN, high-grade PIN, and prostatic adenocarcinoma specimens. The malignant cells demonstrated more intense immunohistochemical staining (moderate to strong staining in 81% and 69% cases for high-grade PIN and adenocarcinoma, respectively) than benign glands (moderate staining in 11% of cases). No strong staining was observed in benign glands or low-grade PIN. Our data are consistent with the contention that group IIA sPLA2 expression is elevated in neoplastic prostatic tissue and support the hypothesis that dysregulation of sPLA2 may play a role in prostatic carcinogenesis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Products of the arachidonic acid-metabolizing enzyme, 5-lipoxygenase, stimulate the growth of several cell types. Selective inhibitors of the enzyme, including SC41661A and MK886, reduce PC-3 prostate cell proliferation. With continued culture, cells die, but the mode of death, necrotic or nonnecrotic, has not been established. METHODS Flow cytometry, laddering after agarose electrophoresis of DNA from inhibitor-treated cells, and light and electron microscopy were employed to examine the type of death in PC-3 prostate cells cultured with either 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor. RESULTS The inhibitors induced nonnecrotic, programmed cell death. SC41661A-treated cells exhibited "foamy," vacuolated cytoplasm and mitochondria with disrupted cristae and limiting membranes, while some cells contained numerous polysomes and extended hypertrophic Golgi and secretory cisternal networks. A proportion of the treated cells detached and the nuclei of these cells were characteristic of type 1 "apoptotic" programmed cell death. MK886, a 5-lipoxygenase-inhibitor with a different mechanism of action, induced nonnecrotic changes largely confined to the cytoplasm, most consistent with type 2 "autophagic" programmed cell death. In preliminary studies of mechanism, we demonstrated that PC-3 cells express mRNA for 5-lipoxygenase and for 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein. The less active inhibitor, SC45662 neither reduced proliferation nor induced DNA laddering. The antioxidant, N-acetyl-l-cysteine but not butylated hydroxy toluene or alpha tocopherol, partially reduced the inhibition of proliferation from SC41661A. CONCLUSIONS SC41661A and MK886 inhibit PC-3 cell proliferation and induce a form of type 1 or type 2 programmed cell death, respectively. PC-3 cells contain messenger RNA for 5-lipoxygenase and 5-lipoxygenase-activating proteins. Drug-induced changes included altered redox potential, inferred from the increased survival due to the antioxidant and glutathione precursor, N-acetyl-l-cysteine. PC-3 cells are an appropriate model for studying the mechanism responsible for 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor-induced cellular suicide.

Abstract
Acetylenic acids such as 5,8,11,14-eicosatetraynoic acid (ETYA), have been shown to be effective in preventing pulmonary edema formation (PEF). In phosgene-exposed guinea pigs, we examined the effects of ETYA on PEF, measured as real time lung weight gain (lwg). Pulmonary artery pressure (Ppa), airway pressure (Paw), perfusate leukotrienes (LT) C4/D4/E4/B4, and lung tissue lipid peroxidation (TBARS) were measured using the isolated, buffer-perfused lung model. Guinea pigs were challenged to 175 mg/m3 (44 ppm) phosgene for 10 minutes giving a concentration x time product of 1750 mg.min/m3 (437 ppm.min). Five minutes after removal from the exposure chamber, guinea pigs were treated, i.p., with 200 microL of 100 microM ETYA. 200 microL of 50 microM ETYA was added to the perfusate every 40 minutes, beginning at 60 minutes after start of exposure (t = 0). There were four groups in this study: air-treated, phosgene-exposed, ETYA-posttreated + phosgene, and ETYA-posttreated + air ETYA-posttreated + phosgene guinea pigs had significantly lower Ppa (P = .006), Paw (P = .009), and lwg (P = .016) compared with phosgene-exposed animals. Phosgene exposure reduced LTB4 compared with air-treated controls (P = .09). ETYA-posttreatment + phosgene had significantly increased perfusate LTB4 (P = .0006) compared with phosgene exposure only group. Total perfusate, LTC4 + LTD4 + LTE4, was not different between phosgene-exposed, air-treated or ETYA-posttreatment + phosgene over time. Posttreatment with ETYA significantly lowered TBARS formation, 206 +/- 13 versus 285 +/- 23 nmol/mg protein (P = .016), compared with phosgene-exposed lungs. Paradoxically, ETYA posttreatment decreased PEF and lipid peroxidation, but increased sulfidopeptide LT release from the lung during perfusion. We conclude that LTC4/D4/E4, and B4, may play different roles than previously thought for PEF in the isolated perfused lung model.

Abstract
Inhibitors of the arachidonic acid metabolizing enzyme, 5-lipoxygenase, reduce the rate of proliferation of chronic myelogenous leukemia blast cells. The inhibitory agents studied were ETYA, A63162 and SC41661A. These reagents induced differentiation of cultured chronic myelogenous leukemia cells from blast to promyelocytic morphology. Promyelocytic cells then underwent apoptosis, which was identified by nuclear and cytoplasmic morphological features and by DNA laddering. Proliferation of monoblastoid U937 and myelomonocytic HL60 cell lines, known to contain 5-lipoxygenase and synthesize leukotrienes, was reduced by these inhibitors. U937 cells cultured with ETYA, A63162 or SC41661A for 48 h exhibited apoptosis as assessed by DNA laddering and morphology. Characteristic ultrastructural changes of apoptosis were seen at 120 h. MK886, an inhibitor of 5-lipoxygenase with a mechanism of action distinct from oxidation/reduction reagents, at 20-40 microM also inhibited CML and U937 cell proliferation and induced apoptosis, as shown by DNA laddering and ultrastructure.

Abstract
5,8,11,14-eicosatetraynoic acid (ETYA), an isomorphic competitive analogue of arachidonic acid, spontaneously generates a chemiluminescence signal detected with a liquid scintillation spectrometer operated at ambient temperature in the out-of-coincidence mode. The intensity of the signal was 10- or more-fold above background, required oxygen for its generation, was inhibited by antioxidants, and approximately doubled in D2O. Arachidonic acid, which contains 4-alkene rather than alkyne bonds did no more than double the chemiluminescent signal above background. When examined at 37 degrees C in a Berthold AutoLumat 958 luminometer, DBA (lucigenin) was required to detect a signal above background. Catalase or peroxidase, and to a lesser extent mannitol or histidine but not superoxide dismutase, strongly diminished the signal intensity. These observations provide a baseline for interpreting the functional and electron microscopic changes produced by ETYA in PC3 prostate and A172 glioblastoma cell lines, consistent with a contribution from oxidative stress associated with free radicals, and the absence of these morphological changes in U937 monoblastoid cells.

Abstract
Participation of leukotriene products in normal ex vivo hematopoiesis is well established. With increasingly specific inhibitors of lipoxygenases, it becomes possible to more closely define any participation of their biosynthetic products in these events. We cultured chronic myelogenous leukemia cells from the peripheral blood of several patients in blast crisis with three inhibitors of lipoxygenases: ETYA, and the more selective A63162 (Abbott) or SC41661A (Searle). All three agents reduced labelling of DNA with H3 thymidine measured at 4 h and reduced cell numbers by 72 h. An antisense deoxyoligonucleotide to the 5-lipoxygenase mRNA 'start' codon inhibited DNA synthesis at 24 h, as did two control oligonucleotides. Marked nuclear ultrastructural changes characteristic of apoptosis were induced by SC41661A in a subset of cells with the ultrastructure of promyelocytes. Whether this response characterizes a common pattern of this subset of leukemic cells to SC41661A, if damage to mitochondria with reduced function of bcl-2 protooncogene product located at that site might have contributed or some other mechanism was responsible, and if inhibition of 5-lipoxygenase activity was involved, are questions to be decided in the future.
