Abstract
Leukotrienes (LTs) are lipid messengers generated by leukocytes that drive inflammation and modulate neighboring cell function. The synthesis of LTs from arachidonic acid is initiated by the enzyme 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO). We report for the first time that LT synthesis is inhibited by the direct action of protein kinase A (PKA) on 5-LO. The catalytic subunit of PKA directly phosphorylated 5-LO in vivo and in vitro and inhibited activity in intact cells and in vitro. Mutation of Ser-523 on human 5-LO prevented phosphorylation by PKA and restored LT synthesis. Treatment with PKA activators inhibited LTB(4) synthesis in 3T3 cells expressing wild type 5-LO but not in cells expressing the S523A mutant of 5-LO. The mechanism of inhibition of LTB(4) synthesis did not involve either reduced membrane association of activated 5-LO or redistribution of 5-LO from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. Instead, PKA phosphorylation of recombinant 5-LO inhibited in vitro activity, as did co-transfection of cells with 5-LO plus the catalytic subunit of PKA. Also, substitution of Ser-523 with glutamic acid, mimicking phosphorylation, resulted in the total loss of 5-LO activity. These results indicate that PKA phosphorylates 5-LO on Ser-523, which inhibits the catalytic activity of 5-LO and reduces cellular LT generation. Thus, PKA activation, as can occur in response to adenosine, prostaglandin E(2), beta-adrenergic agonists, and other mediators, is a means of directly reducing 5-LO activity and LT synthesis that may be important in limiting inflammation and maintaining homeostasis.

Abstract
Exogenously applied tachykinins produce no measurable electrophysiological responses in the somata of vagal afferent neurons [nodose ganglion neurons (NGNs)] isolated from naive guinea pigs. By contrast, after in vitro antigen challenge of nodose ganglia from guinea pigs immunized with chick ovalbumin, approximately 60% (53 of 89) of NGNs were depolarized an average of 13 +/- 1.2 mV by substance P (SP; 100 nM; n = 53). Receptor antagonists and enzyme inhibitors were utilized to screen a number of mast cell-derived mediators for their role in the uncovering or "unmasking" of functional tachykinin receptors after antigen challenge. Two chemically distinct 5-hydroxytryptamine-3-receptor antagonists significantly reduced the percentage of NGNs displaying depolarizing SP responses. Treatment with Y-25130 (1 or 10 microM) or tropisetron (1 microM) 15 min before and during antigen challenge reduced the percentage of SP-responsive neurons to approximately 20 and approximately 15% respectively. These results suggest that activation of 5-hydroxytryptamine-3 receptors plays an integral role in the unmasking of functional tachykinin receptors after specific antigen challenge of nodose ganglia. The mediator(s) underlying tachykinin-receptor unmasking in the remainder of the NGNs has yet to be characterized. However, it does not appear to be histamine, prostanoids, or peptidoleukotrienes.

Abstract
Previous studies demonstrated that the selective inhibition of phosphodiesterase type IV suppresses antigen-induced eosinophil infiltration and also downregulates certain eosinophil functions assessed in vitro. In the current study, we compared the effect of selective inhibitors of phosphodiesterase IV with the effect of phosphodiesterase III and V inhibitors, focusing on eosinophil chemotaxis stimulated by platelet-activating factor (PAF) and leukotriene B4 in a modified Boyden chamber. The effect of beta 2-adrenoceptor agonists and forskolin as well as the analogue N6-2'-O-dibutyryladenosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate (Bt2 cyclic AMP) was also determined. For this purpose eosinophils were obtained by lavage of the peritoneal cavity of normal Wistar rats and purified on Percoll gradients to 85-95% purity. Our results showed that PAF and leukotriene B4 (0.001-10 microM) elicited a concentration-dependent increase in eosinophil migration with maximal responses observed at 1 microM and 0.1 microM respectively. Pre-incubation with the type IV phosphodiesterase inhibitor, rolipram (1-100 microM), suppressed the chemotactic response triggered by PAF and leukotriene B4, in association with elevation of eosinophil cyclic AMP, whereas the compounds milrinone and SK&F 94836 (type III selective) as well as zaprinast (type V selective) were ineffective. The beta 2-adrenoceptor agonists salbutamol and salmeterol (1-100 microM) did not alter the intracellular levels of cyclic AMP and also failed to inhibit the eosinophil response. Moreover, incubation of eosinophils with the adenylate cyclase activator forskolin (1-100 microM), while inducing a discrete increase in cyclic AMP, markedly inhibited PAF- and leukotriene B4-induced eosinophil chemotaxis. Eosinophils treated with a combination of individually inactive amounts of forskolin plus rolipram significantly inhibited the eosinophil migration elicited by PAF and leukotriene B4, but did not change cyclic AMP baseline levels. Though only at the highest concentration tested (100 microM), the analogue Bt2 cyclic AMP abolished the eosinophil chemotaxis. Thus we conclude that the direct inhibitory effect of phosphodiesterase IV inhibitors on eosinophil chemotaxis may account for their suppressive activity on tissue eosinophil accumulation following antigen challenge.

Abstract
O-Acetylation and de-O-acetylation of sialic acids have been implicated in the regulation of a variety of biological phenomena, including endogenous lectin recognition, tumor antigenicity, virus binding, and complement activation. Applying a strategy designed to identify genes preferentially expressed in active sites of embryonic hematopoiesis, we isolated a novel cDNA from the pluripotent hematopoietic cell line FDCPmixA4 whose open reading frame contained sequences homologous to peptide fragments of a lysosomal sialic acid O-acetylesterase (Lse) previously purified from rat liver, but with no evident similarity to endoplasmic reticulum-derived acetylesterases. The expressed Lse protein exhibits sialic-acid O-acetylesterase activity that is not attributable to a typical serine esterase active site. lse expression is spatially and temporally restricted during embryogenesis, and its mRNA levels correlate with differences in O-acetylesterase activity described in adult tissues and blood cell types. Using interspecific backcross analysis, we further mapped the lse gene to the central region of mouse chromosome 9. This constitutes the first report on the molecular cloning of a sialic acid-specific O-acetylesterase in vertebrates and suggests novel roles for the 9-O-acetyl modification of sialic acids during the development and differentiation of mammalian organisms.

Abstract
Adenosine activates adenylate cyclase and phospholipase C in mast cells and potentiates stimulated mediator release. To determine whether activation of adenylate cyclase is necessary for the effects of adenosine on the mast cell secretory process, a specific inhibitor of cAMP-dependent protein kinase, KT5720, was used. Antigen and adenosine each induced a rapid increase in mast cell cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity within 30 s. Preincubation with KT5720 (100 nM-10 microM) suppressed cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity and inhibited antigen-stimulated beta-hexosaminidase and leukotriene C4 releases. Adenosine retained its ability to potentiate beta-hexosaminidase release in antigen- and A23187-stimulated cells even in the presence of complete cAMP-dependent protein kinase inhibition. Mast cells rendered unresponsive to adenosine-related signals by preincubation with adenosine analogs maintained this hyporesponsiveness after incubation with KT5720. It appears that the abilities of adenosine to augment mast cell degranulation and induce receptor hyporesponsiveness are independent of changes in cAMP.

Abstract
Platelet-activating factor synthesis in two transformed lines of glomerular endothelial cells was characterized and contrasted with platelet-activating factor production in macrovascular-derived endothelial cells as well as with glomerular cells of mesenchymal origin. Platelet-activating factor synthesis was assessed in intact cells and in cell-free preparations. Glomerular endothelial cells constitutively synthesize bio-active alkyl-PAF, and this basal activity can be chronically augmented by various inflammatory and thrombotic agents. In contrast, thrombin-mediated platelet-activating factor formation in bovine pulmonary aortic endothelial cells as well as in glomerular mesangial cells is acute and transient. The potential role of anti-inflammatory prostanoids to function as negative feedback modulators of thrombin- or endothelin-mediated platelet-activating factor synthesis was also investigated, as the synthesis of platelet-activating factor is often associated with the formation of these prostanoids. Indomethacin augmented receptor-mediated platelet-activating factor synthesis while prostanoids of the E and I series reduced agonist-stimulated PAF synthesis. In summary, the unique capacity of glomerular endothelial cells to respond to inflammatory stimuli with sustained platelet-activating factor synthesis is a clear indication of this cell's pivotal role in augmenting the inflammatory response in the limited environment of the glomerulus.

Abstract
Leukotriene B4 (LTB4) and leukotriene C4 (LTC4) are considered to be important mediators in the pathophysiology of asthma. Theophylline, terbutaline, and hydrocortisone are drugs commonly used in the treatment of asthma. In the present study we have investigated the in vitro inhibitory effects of theophylline, terbutaline, and hydrocortisone on LTB4 and LTC4 generation from human leukocytes. After preincubation in the presence of these drugs, the cells were stimulated with the calcium ionophore A 23187 and the supernatants were analyzed for their LTB4 and LTC4 content using reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Total leukotriene (LT) production (the combined amounts of LTB4 and LTC4) was dose-dependently inhibited by pretreatment with theophylline, terbutaline or hydrocortisone. Therapeutic levels of hydrocortisone (5 x 10(-6) M) plus theophylline (5 x 10(-5) M) inhibited LTB4 and LTC4 production in an additive way, as did the combination of hydrocortisone plus terbutaline (5 x 10(-8) M). A statistically significant effect of diminished LTB4 generation was obtained after preincubation with therapeutic levels of theophylline plus terbutaline, but no such effect was seen for LTC4 levels. The in vitro inhibitory effects on LTB4 and LTC4 generation from human leukocytes by theophylline, terbutaline, and hydrocortisone, as well as the additive effect of hydrocortisone plus theophylline or terbutaline, add to our understanding of the therapeutic effects of these drugs in the treatment of bronchopulmonary obstruction.

Abstract
Nimesulide, the prototype of a new class of anti-inflammatory drugs, dose-dependently decreases the production of the superoxide anion (O2-.) in N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP)- and in phorbol myristate acetate (PMA)-stimulated polymorphonuclear leukocytes. The inhibition of O2-. is possibly related to its inhibitory effect on polymorphonuclear leukocyte cytosolic phosphodiesterase type IV (IC50 = 39 +/- 2 microM), to the related increase in cAMP (P < 0.01 at 1 microM) and the subsequent increase in protein kinase A activity. In fact H-89, a specific protein kinase A inhibitor, counteracts the inhibitory effect of nimesulide on O2-. production by fMLP and PMA. The activation of protein kinase A may prompt the phosphorylation of a number of substrates, thus inhibiting the assembly of NADPH-oxidase in the plasma membrane. Accordingly, nimesulide decreases PMA-induced assembly of NADPH-oxidase in polymorphonuclear leukocytes plasma membranes by about 35%. Protein kinase A activation may also interfere with chemotaxis. Nimesulide inhibits stimulated chemotaxis and the effect is decreased by H-89. Inhibition of phosphodiesterase type IV may explain many of nimesulide's effects.

Abstract
The human c-kit receptor ligand, rhSCF, is the only cytokine known to be active on human mast cells, but its intracellular signal transduction pathway is still unknown. We compared the effect of rhSCF on intracellular Ca2+ levels in purified (> 70% pure) adult skin mast cells with two other immunologic stimuli, namely, anti-IgE and substance P. Both rhSCF (1 microgram/mL) and anti-IgE (3 micrograms/mL) induced a rapid (< 20 sec) and sustained (T1/2 for decay > 10 min) increase in free cytosolic Ca2+ concentration. In contrast, substance P (5 microM) elicited a very rapid (< 1 sec) and transient (T1/2 for decay congruent to 5 sec) rise in intracellular Ca2+ levels. Intracellular cAMP levels were then increased by pharmacologic means to examine the role of the cyclic nucleotide in controlling the Ca2+ response in skin mast cells. A combination of the general phosphodiesterase inhibitor, isobutylmethylxanthine (IBMX) (200 microM) and the adenylate cyclase activator, forskolin (30 microM) was effective in inhibiting the Ca2+ response induced by rhSCF or anti-IgE (82 and 68% inhibition, respectively), while IBMX and forskolin alone were much less effective. The phosphodiesterase isozyme IV inhibitor, rolipram (10 microM), variably affected the increase in Ca2+ levels induced by anti-IgE, but it exerted a significant inhibitory activity on anti-IgE- or rhSCF-induced response in the presence of forskolin (30 micrograms/mL) (33 and 67%, respectively). Two different protein kinase C (PKC) activators TPA (200 nM) and bryostatin 1 (200 nM) similarly inhibited rhSCF- (22 and 32%, respectively) and anti-IgE-induced (24 and 32%) Ca2+ response. Finally, the kinase inhibitor genistein (30 micrograms/mL) was a somewhat more effective inhibitor of the rise in intracellular Ca2+ induced by rhSCF (100%) than that activated by anti-IgE (54%) (P < 0.05). These data indicate that rhSCF and anti-IgE may act on human mast cells through a common pathway to increase free cytosolic Ca2+ levels and this effect is similarly modulated by various drugs.

Abstract
1. We investigated the effects of new xanthine derivatives, 1-methyl-3-propyl xanthine (MPX) and 1,3-dipropyl xanthine (DPX), and several other xanthine derivatives on N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine-induced superoxide and lysozyme release from human polymorphonuclear leucocytes (PMN). 2. MPX and DPX at low concentrations (10(-8) - 10(-9) mol/L) inhibited superoxide release from PMN by a maximum of 31.2 +/- 10.6% and 49.8 +/- 10.4% (mean +/- s.d.), respectively, and 10(-3) mol/L concentrations completely inhibited the release reactions (4.8 +/- 1.2 and 7.6 +/- 2.5% of control level). At 10(-5) mol/L, however, the inhibition did not occur (99.9 +/- 7.3 and 110.2 +/- 15.8% of control level). When PMN was pre-incubated with adenosine deaminase (ADA, 0.1 U/mL), superoxide release from PMN was inhibited in a dose-dependent manner by MPX and DPX and the interruption of the inhibition at 10(-5) mol/L was not observed. 3. Lysozyme release from PMN was inhibited by MPX at low concentrations (10(-7) - 10(-6) mol/L) and high concentrations (10(-3) mol/L). However 10(-4) mol/L of MPX facilitated the release (23.7 +/- 27.0%). When pretreated with ADA (0.1 U/mL), MPX suppressed lysozyme release in a dose-dependent manner and the facilitation of the release at 10(-4) mol/L was not observed. 4. When comparing effects of some other xanthine derivatives on superoxide release, the interruption of the inhibition of superoxide release at 10(-5) mol/L was commonly observed among xanthine derivatives with adenosine A2 antagonism.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The antiinflammatory activity of rolipram, a selective inhibitor of the cyclic AMP-specific phosphodiesterase (PDE IV), was studied. Rolipram did not inhibit 5-lipoxygenase activity but did inhibit human monocyte production of leukotriene B4 (LTB4, IC50 3.5 microM). Likewise, murine mast cell release of leukotriene C4 and histamine was inhibited. In vivo, rolipram inhibited arachidonic acid-induced inflammation in the mouse, while the low Km-cyclic-GMP PDE inhibitor, zaprinast, did not inhibit. Rolipram had a modest effect on LTB4 production in the mouse, but markedly reduced LTB4-induced PMN infiltration. Beta-adrenergic receptor activation of adenylate cyclase was important for rolipram antiinflammatory activity since beta blockade abrogated arachidonic acid-induced inflammation. Thus, the antiinflammatory profile of rolipram is novel and may result from inhibition of PMN function and perhaps vasoactive amine release and leukotriene biosynthesis. These actions may be dependent upon endogenous beta-adrenergic activity and are likely mediated through inhibition of PDE IV.

Since adhesion of neutrophils (PMN) to endothelial cells may influence PMN activation responses, we examined whether adhesion of PMN to TNF alpha-activated human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) stimulates leukotriene B4 (LTB4) production. Endothelial adhesivity towards PMN increased after HUVEC pretreatment with TNF alpha for 4 h. LTB4 production increased markedly in response to stimulation with arachidonic acid (20 microM) when PMN were added to the hyperadhesive HUVEC. In contrast, stimulation of PMN in suspension did not potentiate LTB4 production. LTB4 production persisted when PMN were applied to TNF alpha-pretreated HUVEC fixed with 1% paraformaldehyde excluding the possibility that metabolic activity of endothelium participates in this response. PMN adhesion to plastic and gelatin also enhanced LTB4 indicating that adhesion was a critical event in inducing LTB4 production. We used monoclonal antibodies (mAb) to adhesion molecules on endothelial cells (i.e., endothelial leukocyte adhesion molecule-1 (ELAM-1) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1)) or on PMN (CD18) to assess the role of PMN adhesion to the activated endothelium on LTB4 potentiation. Both anti-ELAM-1 mAb and anti-ICAM-1 mAb inhibited PMN adhesion (by 55 and 41%, respectively) as well as LTB4 production (by 65 and 50%, respectively). Anti-CD18 mAb also reduced the adhesion (65%) and the LTB4 production (66%). Furthermore, combination of anti-ELAM-1 mAb (H18/7) and anti-ICAM-1 mAb (RR1/1) or of anti-ELAM-1 mAb (H18/7) and anti-CD18 mAb (IB4) had an additive effect in inhibiting both PMN adhesion as well as LTB4 production. PMN adherence to immobilized recombinant soluble rELAM-1 or rICAM-1 also increased LTB4 production, which was prevented with relevant mAbs. However, neither rELAM-1 nor rICAM-1 stimulated LTB4 production of PMN in suspension. We conclude that PMN adhesion to TNF alpha-stimulated endothelial cells enhances LTB4 production by PMN, a response activated by binding of PMN to expressed endothelial cell surface adhesion molecules.

Abstract
Expression of lyso paf-acether (lyso paf):acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase and its activation above basal levels by specific agonists controls the rate of paf biosynthesis in proinflammatory cells. Acetyltransferase activation in these cells is due to the rapid postranslational modification of an inactive precursor by phosphorylation, most probably catalyzed by a cAMP-dependent kinase. However, the possibility exists that a calcium/calmodulin-dependent kinase can be implicated as well. Unlike murine cultured mast cells, human neutrophils form paf when stimulated with phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) or diacylglycerol. In both cell types, acetyltransferase is activated by PMA. Controversy exists as to whether PMA activates the remodeling pathway, i.e. the activation of phospholipase A2 and acetyltransferase, or the de novo route through CDPcholine cholinephosphotransferase action on alkylacetylglycerol. There is some indication that PKC might regulate paf biosynthesis. The implication of a GTP-regulated protein has also been postulated in signal transduction leading to paf formation in endothelial cells, neutrophils, and mast cells. The topography of paf formation is discussed in light of the subcellular distribution of acetyltransferase in neutrophils and Krebs II cells.

Abstract
In the last few years, it has become increasingly apparent that the biochemistry of PAF (platelet-activating factor) and that of arachidonic acid are interrelated in a number of inflammatory cells. Experiments presented here further point out that arachidonic acid plays a crucial role in the catabolism and biosynthesis of PAF. In addition, they suggest that the same phospholipid molecular species may serve as a source for both arachidonic acid and 1-alkyl-2-lyso-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine during cell activation. Finally, they reveal that there may be common regulatory mechanisms for the biosynthesis of PAF and arachidonic acid metabolites. Taken together, studies examining the relationship between PAF and arachidonic acid suggest it may be difficult to consider the biochemistry of PAF without considering arachidonic acid metabolism and vice versa.

Abstract
1. The cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (PDE) of guinea-pig eosinophils was partially characterized and the effects of selective inhibitors of PDE isoenzymes upon opsonized zymosan (OZ)-stimulated respiratory burst were studied. 2. PDE activity in eosinophil lysates appeared to be membrane-associated, displayed substrate specificity for adenosine 3':5' cyclic monophosphate (cyclic AMP) versus guanosine 3':5' cyclic monophosphate (cyclic GMP) and was insensitive to cyclic GMP or Ca2+ and calmodulin. 3. The non-selective PDE inhibitor, 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine caused a concentration-dependent inhibition of both OZ-stimulated hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) generation and cyclic AMP hydrolysis. The type IV-selective PDE inhibitors, rolipram and denbufylline, also inhibited H2O2 generation and cyclic AMP hydrolysis in a concentration-dependent manner whilst SK&F 94120 and Org 9935 (type III-selective) and zaprinast (type Ia or V-selective) were ineffective. 4. Dibutyryl cyclic AMP, a cell-permeable, non-hydrolysable analogue of cyclic AMP, caused a concentration-dependent inhibition of H2O2 generation stimulated by OZ. Dibutyryl cyclic GMP was ineffective. 5. It is concluded that eosinophil respiratory burst activity induced by OZ can be regulated by intracellular cyclic AMP and that the levels of cyclic AMP are controlled exclusively by a rolipram- and denbufylline-sensitive PDE isoenzyme that resembles a type IV species.

Abstract
We describe the enzymological regulation of the formation of prostaglandin (PG) D2, PGE2, PGF2 alpha, 9 alpha, 11 beta-PGF2, PGI2 (prostacyclin), and thromboxane (Tx) A2 from arachidonic acid. We discuss the three major steps in prostanoid formation: (a) arachidonate mobilization from monophosphatidylinositol involving phospholipase C, diglyceride lipase, and monoglyceride lipase and from phosphatidylcholine involving phospholipase A2; (b) formation of prostaglandin endoperoxides (PGG2 and PGH2) catalyzed by the cyclooxygenase and peroxidase activities of PGH synthase; and (c) synthesis of PGD2, PGE2, PGF2 alpha, 9 alpha, 11 beta-PGF2, PGI2, and TxA2 from PGH2. We also include information on the roles of aspirin and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, dexamethasone and other anti-inflammatory steroids, platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), and interleukin-1 in prostaglandin metabolism.
