Abstract
Eicosanoids are biologically active lipid mediators, comprising prostaglandins, leukotrienes, thromboxanes, and lipoxins, involved in several pathophysiological processes relevant to asthma, allergies, and allied diseases. Prostaglandins and leukotrienes are the most studied eicosanoids and established inducers of airway pathophysiology including bronchoconstriction and airway inflammation. Drugs inhibiting the synthesis of lipid mediators or their effects, such as leukotriene synthesis inhibitors, leukotriene receptors antagonists, and more recently prostaglandin D2 receptor antagonists, have been shown to modulate features of asthma and allergic diseases. This review, produced by an European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) task force, highlights our current understanding of eicosanoid biology and its role in mediating human pathology, with a focus on new findings relevant for clinical practice, development of novel therapeutics, and future research opportunities.

Abstract
Asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS) are characterized by neutrophilic inflammation and elevated levels of leukotriene B4 (LTB4). However, the exact role of LTB4 pathways in mediating pulmonary neutrophilia and the potential therapeutic application of LTB4 receptor antagonists in these diseases remains controversial. Here we show that a novel dual BLT1 and BLT2 receptor antagonist, RO5101576, potently inhibited LTB4-evoked calcium mobilization in HL-60 cells and chemotaxis of human neutrophils. RO5101576 significantly attenuated LTB4-evoked pulmonary eosinophilia in guinea pigs. In non-human primates, RO5101576 inhibited allergen and ozone-evoked pulmonary neutrophilia, with comparable efficacy to budesonide (allergic responses). RO5101576 had no effects on LPS-evoked neutrophilia in guinea pigs and cigarette smoke-evoked neutrophilia in mice and rats. In toxicology studies RO5101576 was well-tolerated. Theses studies show differential effects of LTB4 receptor antagonism on neutrophil responses in vivo and suggest RO5101576 may represent a potential new treatment for pulmonary neutrophilia in asthma.

Abstract
Leukotriene B(4) (LTB(4)) is a lipid mediator with potent chemoattractant properties and that is rapidly generated from activated innate immune cells such as neutrophils, macrophages, and mast cells. Elevated levels of LTB(4) have been reported in various allergic diseases and these levels have been related to disease activity and response to treatment. Recent studies using LTB(4) receptor-1 (BLT1) antagonists or BLT1-deficient mice have revealed that ligation of BLT1 by LTB(4) is important for the activation and recruitment of inflammatory cells including neutrophils, eosinophils, monocytes/macrophages, mast cells, dendritic cells, and more recently, effector T cells to inflamed tissues in various inflammatory diseases. The LTB(4)/BLT1 pathway appears to play an important role in the pathogenesis of severe persistent asthma, aspirin- and exercise-induced asthma, allergic rhinitis, and atopic dermatitis together with other mediators including cysteinyl leukotrienes, cytokines, and chemokines. LTB(4) production is in general resistant to corticosteroid treatment. In fact, corticosteroids can upregulate BLT1 expression on corticosteroid-resistant inflammatory cells such as neutrophils, monocytes, and effector memory CD8+ T cells. As a result, this corticosteroid-resistant LTB(4)/BLT1 pathway may contribute to the development of inflammation in allergic diseases that do not respond to the introduction of corticosteroids. Inhibition of this pathway has potential therapeutic benefit in various allergic diseases that have involvement of corticosteroid-insensitivity.

Abstract
Neutrophils from allergic subjects were hypersensitive to stimulation by low calcium ionophore concentration (0.15 microM), resulting in an increased formation of leukotriene B4 (LTB4), 5S-hydroxy-6,8,11,14-(E,Z,Z,Z)-eicosatetraenoic acid (5-HETE), and other arachidonic acid metabolites through the 5-lipoxygenase pathway. In parallel, luminol-dependent chemiluminescence was also higher in neutrophils from allergic patients at the basal state and after stimulation by calcium ionophore, revealing an enhancement of radical oxygen species and peroxide production. The activity of glutathione peroxidase, the main enzyme responsible for hydroperoxide reduction, was lowered in these cells. Diethyl-dithiocarbamate (DTC) induced a concentration-dependent decrease in chemiluminescence and arachidonic acid metabolism after neutrophil stimulation. These data show that the elevation of arachidonic acid metabolism in neutrophils from allergic patients is strongly correlated with oxidative status. This elevation may be the consequence of an increased cellular hydroperoxide known to activate 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) activity and/or an increased arachidonic acid availability, due either to phospholipase A2 (PLA2) activation or inhibition of arachidonate reesterification into phospholipids. Lowering this oxidative status was associated with a concomitant decrease of this metabolism. Our results suggest that the effect of DTC may be the consequence of an inhibition of peroxyl radical and cellular lipid hydroperoxide production. Thus, DTC may modulate arachidonic acid metabolism in neutrophils by modulating the cellular hydroperoxide level.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mucosal inflammatory processes in late phase of allergic diseases involve cytokine production, cell adhesion molecule overexpression and release of inflammatory mediators with chemotactic activity, such as leukotriene B4 (LTB4). We had previously observed increased production of LTB4 by neutrophils in patients with allergic rhinitis and discussed the role of granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) priming. Some antihistaminic compounds were shown to diminish the production of leukotrienes by neutrophils. OBJECTIVES In a first step, we evaluated in ex vivo and in vitro studies, the effects of cetirizine on LTB4 production by blood neutrophils from allergic and healthy subjects. In a second step, we studied the in vitro effect of cetirizine on LTB4 production by neutrophils from healthy subjects during GM-CSF priming of these cells. METHODS Neutrophils from both populations were purified from venous blood and LTB4 production was measured using high performance liquid cromatography (HPLC) method. RESULTS In ex vivo studies, cetirizine treatment induced a decreased LTB4 production by neutrophils in allergic rhinitis. This effect of decreased LTB4 production was reproduced in vitro with 10(-8)-10(-6)M cetirizine. Nevertheless, this anti-H1 compound had no effect on neutrophil priming with GM-CSF. CONCLUSION As LTB4 is an important chemotactic factor, Cetirizine could act on inflammatory cell recruitment by inhibiting LTB4 production by neutrophils.

Abstract
Glutathione-dependent peroxidase (GSH-Px) degrades the deleterious hydroperoxides, including those issued from arachidonic acid (AA) by the action of lipoxygenases, into their alcohol counterpart. We report that the hyperactivity of platelets from elderly people and of polymorphonuclear neutrophils from allergic patients, at least partly due to higher formation of thromboxane A2 and leukotriene B4, respectively, is associated with a depressed GSH-Px activity. As we report that n-3 fatty acids may enhance the cell GSH-Px activity, we conclude that the reduction of cell hyperactivity described in response to those fatty acids might be linked to their effect on GSH-Px.

Abstract
The amount of the 12-lipoxygenase and cyclo-oxygenase products, 12(S)-hydroxy-(Z,Z,E,Z)-5,8,10,14-eicosatetraenoic acid (12-HETE) and 12(S)-hydroxy-(E,E,Z)-5,8,10-heptadecatrienoic acid (HHT), in human platelets stimulated by thrombin (0.1 and 2.5 units/ml), was studied in the presence of autologous neutrophils. A decreased formation of both products was induced by unstimulated neutrophils or neutrophils challenged with N-formylmethionyl- leucyl-phenylalanine (0.1 microM) or Ca2+ ionophore A23187 (0.15 microM). The effect of neutrophils was observed only in the presence of Ca2+. 12-HETE and HHT were also produced in platelets stimulated with thrombin in the absence of Ca2+ and/or Mg2+, but their level was not altered by neutrophils. 12(S),20-Dihydroxy-(Z,Z,E,Z)-5,8,10,14-eicosatetraenoic acid (12,20-DHETE), the cytochrome P-450 product from 12-HETE in neutrophils, was hardly detected, and its level did not compensate for the decrease in 12-HETE observed after platelet and neutrophil co-incubation. 5(S),12(S)-Dihydroxy-(E,Z,E,Z)- 6,8,10,14-eicosatetraenoic acid (5(S),12(S)-DHETE), the 5-lipoxygenase product of 12-HETE in neutrophils, was never detectable. In addition, the inhibition of 12-HETE and HHT formations appeared not to be due to degradation or thrombin uptake by neutrophils, nor was the decrease observed when the two cell populations were physically separated. A monoclonal antibody against the human platelet glycoprotein GMP140 (CD62), mediating Ca(2+)-dependent platelet-neutrophil adhesion, mimicked the inhibitory effect of neutrophils in a dose-dependent fashion. Furthermore, the 12-HETE and HHT productions were not affected when platelets were stimulated in the presence of neutrophils previously incubated with sialidase, which removes the sialic acid from a sialyl Lewis(x) structure assumed to be the neutrophil receptor for platelet GMP140. We conclude that the decrease in thrombin-stimulated 12-HETE and HHT formation observed when platelets were co-incubated with autologous neutrophils might be the consequence of platelet-neutrophil adherence, presumably through platelet GMP140.

Abstract
Cultures of mouse peritoneal resident macrophages produced prostaglandin E2 when exposed to extracellular group II phospholipase A2. The response to group II phospholipase A2 was concentration dependent, and prostaglandin E2 production in response to 1 microgram/ml purified group II enzyme was comparable to the maximal response elicited by lipopolysaccharide. Group II phospholipase A2 required millimolar concentrations of extracellular Ca2+ for the induction of prostaglandin E2 production, as well as for phospholipase A2 activity. YM-26734 (4-(3,5-didodecanoyl-2,4,6-trihydroxyphenyl)-7-hydroxy-2-(4-hydroxyph eny l) chroman), a selective inhibitor of group II phospholipase A2, inhibited not only the enzyme activity but also the prostaglandin E2 production-inducing activity of group II phospholipase A2 in a concentration-dependent manner. These findings suggest that group II phospholipase A2 released into the extracellular space may induce prostaglandin E2 production through hydrolysis of plasma membrane phospholipids. Taken together with the previous finding that YM-26734 suppressed inflammatory responses in vivo, these results suggest that group II phospholipase A2 may play a role in the excitation and/or progression of inflammatory processes through the production of eicosanoids.
