Hypertonic saline inhibits arachidonic acid priming of the human neutrophil oxidase. J Surg Res 2011; 174:24-8.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Arachidonic acid (AA, and its leukotriene derivatives, e.g., LTB(4)) is an inflammatory mediator in post-shock mesenteric lymph that appears to act as an agonist on G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). These mediators prime neutrophils (PMNs) for an increased production of superoxide, implicated in the development of acute lung injury (ALI). Hypertonic saline (HTS) has also been shown to have immunomodulatory effects such as attenuation of PMN priming by precluding appropriate clathrin-mediated endocytosis of activated GPCRs, thereby potentially attenuating ALI. We hypothesize that HTS inhibits priming of the PMN oxidase by these lipid mediators. METHODS After PMNs were isolated from healthy donors, incubation was done in either isotonic buffer (control) or HTS (180 mmol/L) for 5 min at 37°C. The PMNs were then primed for 10 min with AA [5 μM] or 5 min with LTB(4) [1 μM] and the oxidase was activated with 200 ng/mL of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), a non-GPCR activator, and superoxide anion generation was measured via reduction of cytochrome c. RESULTS Both AA [5 μM] and LTB(4) [1 μM] significantly primed the PMA activated respiratory burst (P < 0.05, ANOVA, Newman-Keuls, n = 4). HTS inhibited both AA and LTB(4) priming of the respiratory burst. CONCLUSIONS These data indicate that HTS reduces the cytotoxicity of PMNs stimulated by these lipid mediators in vitro and further support the immunomodulatory effects of HTS.

Abstract
We report in human neutrophils (PMN) that phospholipase D (PLD) was stimulated by micromolar concentrations of arachidonic acid (AA) and nanomolar concentrations of leukotriene B(4) (LTB(4)), and eicosapentaenoic acid was inactive. The stimulatory effect of AA occurred only when adenosine was eliminated from PMN suspensions or when PMN were incubated with adenosine A(2A) receptor antagonists. The mechanism of AA-induced PLD activation was investigated. The results show that AA- and LTB(4)-induced PLD activation were inhibited by the LTB(4) receptor 1 (BLTR1) antagonist CP 105,696, whereas the LTA(4) hydrolase inhibitor SC57461A and the LT biosynthesis inhibitor MK-0591 inhibited AA- but not LTB(4)-mediated PLD activation. The AA-induced ARF1 and RhoA translocation to PMN membranes was inhibited by CP 105,696 and SC57461A. These results provide evidence of a requirement for an autocrine-stimulatory loop involving LTB(4) and BLTR1 in the translocation of small GTPases to membranes and the activation of PMN PLD by AA.

Abstract
We report here that the apparent inability of isolated human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) to efficiently transform arachidonic acid (AA) is the consequence of A(2a) receptor engagement by endogenous adenosine accumulating in incubation media. Indeed, when adenosine is eliminated from PMN suspensions by the addition of adenosine deaminase, or when cells are incubated with adenosine A(2a) receptor antagonists, important quantities (40-80 pmol/10(6) cells) of 5-lipoxygenase products are synthesized by PMN incubated with 1 to 5 microM exogenous AA. The selective A(2a) receptor agonist CGS21680 was a very potent inhibitor of the AA-induced leukotriene (LT) synthesis, showing an IC(50) of approximately 1 nM. The mechanism of AA-induced stimulation of LT synthesis observed in the absence of extracellular adenosine was investigated. In adenosine deaminase-treated PMN, exogenous AA induced Ca(2+) mobilization and the translocation of 5-lipoxygenase to nuclear structures. A time lag of 20 to 60 s (variable between PMN preparations) was observed consistently between the addition of AA and the elevation of intracellular Ca(2+) concentration (and LT synthesis), indicating that AA itself did not trigger the Ca(2+) mobilization in PMN. This AA-induced Ca(2+) mobilization, as well as the corresponding 5-lipoxygenase translocation and stimulation of LT synthesis, was blocked efficiently by the LT synthesis inhibitor MK0591, the LTB(4) receptor antagonists CP105696 and LY223982, and the LTA(4) hydrolase inhibitor SC57461A. These data demonstrate that AA is a highly potent and effective activator of LT synthesis and acts through a mechanism that requires an autocrine stimulatory loop by LTB(4).

Abstract
We analyzed the effect of the PAF receptor antagonist (+)-cis-3,5-dimethyl-2-(3-pyridyl)thiazolidin-4-one hydrochloride (SM-12502) on the release of leukotriene B4 and IL-8 from human leukocytes. Peripheral blood from healthy donors was separated in two different fractions: polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) and a lymphocyte, monocyte and basophil granulocyte cell fraction (LMB). After incubation of the cell population with different concentrations of SM-12502 the cells were subsequently stimulated with either the Ca ionophore A23187, the bacterial derived peptide fMLP, or with an activator of heterotrimetric G-proteins, the sodium fluoride (NaF, in the presence of Al3+). The PAF receptor antagonist led to a concentration and time dependent inhibition of LTB4 formation and IL-8 release from PMN and LMB. Our data clearly indicate an inhibitory effect of the PAF receptor antagonist SM-12502 on the formation of mediators of the lipoxygenase pathway and on the release of IL-8.

Abstract
1. Platelet-activating factor (PAF) and leukotriene B4 (LTB4), two potent lipid mediators synthesized by activated neutrophils, are known to stimulate several neutrophil functional responses. In this study, we have determined that endogenous LTB4 and PAF exert autocrine effects on LT synthesis, as well as the underlying mechanism involved. 2. Pretreatment of neutrophils with either pertussis toxin (PT), or with receptor antagonists for LTB4 and PAF, resulted in an inhibition of LT synthesis induced by calcium ionophore, A23187. This inhibition was most marked at submaximal (100-300 nM) A23187 concentrations, whilst it was least at ionophore concentrations which induce maximal LT synthesis (1-3 microM). Thus newly-synthesized PAF and LTB4 can enhance LT synthesis induced by A23187 under conditions where the LT-generating system is not fully activated. 3. In recombinant human (rh) granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF)-primed neutrophils, LT synthesis in response to chemoattractants (fMet-Leu-Phe or rhC5a) was also significantly inhibited by the LTB4 receptor antagonist, and to a lesser extent by PAF receptor antagonists. 4. Further investigation revealed that LTB4 and/or PAF exert their effects on LT synthesis via an effect on arachidonic acid (AA) availability, as opposed to 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) activation. Indeed, the receptor antagonists, as well as PT, inhibited LT synthesis and AA release to a similar extent, whereas 5-LO activation (assessed with an exogenous 5-LO substrate) was virtually unaffected under the same conditions. Accordingly, we showed that addition of exogenous LTB4 could enhance AA availability in response to chemoattractant challenge in rhGM-CSF-primed cells, without significantly affecting the 5-LO activation status. Our data show that newly-generated PAF and LTB4 have the ability to positively feedback on LT synthesis by acting at the level of the phospholipase A2/re-esterification component of the LT biosynthetic pathway in neutrophils. Such autocrine affects are likely to represent an important amplification step of LT synthesis, and may as such contribute to the rapid onset, as well as to the evolution, of inflammatory responses.

Abstract
1. In the present study, we demonstrate that leukotriene B4 (LTB4) has the ability to activate the human neutrophil 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO). 2. Stimulation of neutrophils with 30 nM 14,15-dideuterio-LTB4 (D2-LTB4) failed to induce the synthesis of LTB4 from endogenous arachidonic acid (AA), but stimulated the formation of LTB4 from 3.3 microM exogenous AA, as determined by GC-MS analysis. 3. The stimulatory effect of LTB4 on 5-LO activity was further examined with an alternative substrate; LTB4 time- and dose-dependently stimulated the 5-LO-mediated conversion of exogenous 15(S)-hydroperoxy-5,8,11,13-(Z,Z,Z,E)-eicosatetraenoate (15-HpETE) into 5(S),15(S)-dihydroxy-6,8,11,13,-(E,Z,Z,E)-eicosatetraenoate (5,15-DiHETE), with a threshold effect at 300 pM. 4. The ability of LTB4 to activate the 5-LO showed structural specificity, since LTB4 was found to be 100 times more potent than omega-hydroxy-LTB4, and 300 times more potent than its delta 6-trans-12-epi-isomer. 5. The LTB4-induced 5-LO activation was effectively inhibited by MK-886 (an inhibitor of 5-LO translocation), by pertussis toxin, and by the LTB4 receptor antagonist, LY-223982. 6. These results demonstrate that the binding of LTB4 to its cell-surface receptor results in 5-LO activation in a process mediated by pertussis toxin-sensitive guanine nucleotide-binding proteins. Our data also suggest that the underlying mechanism involves a translocation of the 5-LO to the membrane. These findings raise the possibility that LTB4 produced by phagocytes may positively feedback on its own synthesis.

Abstract
The influence of the leukotoxin of Pasteurella haemolytica on the generation of arachidonic acid metabolites by bovine polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) was investigated. PMNs released 5-, 12-, and 15-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (5-, 12-, and 15-HETE) and leukotriene B4 (LTB4) upon stimulation with arachidonic acid. The leukotoxin preparations dose dependently enhanced the release of the 5-lipoxygenase products 5-HETE and LTB4 in arachidonic acid-stimulated PMNs, whereas the release of 12- and 15-HETE was not affected. The enhanced release of LTB4 and 5-HETE was not due to a decreased cellular retention of the 5-lipoxygenase products. In addition, leukotoxin preparations by themselves were also able to induce LTB4 and 5-HETE production in the absence of exogenous arachidonic acid. Generation of 5-lipoxygenase products by PMNs stimulated by leukotoxin may represent an important cellular event that occurs during infections with P. haemolytica.

Abstract
By using exogenous substrates, activation of human neutrophil 5-lipoxygenase can be investigated independently of the release of endogenous arachidonic acid. We have developed a sensitive assay to measure 5-LO activation which takes advantage of the 5-LO-mediated conversion of 15S-hydroperoxy-5,8,11,13(Z,Z,Z,E)-eicosatetraenoic acid (15-HpETE) into 5S,15S-dihydroxy-6,8,11,13(E,Z,Z,E)-eicosatetraenoic acid (5,15-DiHETE). When resting neutrophils were incubated with low micromolar concentrations of 15-HpETE, a minor dose- and time-dependent formation of 5,15-DiHETE was observed. In contrast, co-addition of 15-HpETE with Ca2+ ionophore A23187 or with the neutrophil agonists platelet-activating factor (PAF), fMetLeuPhe or complement component C5a resulted in a sizeable concentration-dependent synthesis of 5,15-DiHETE, while lyso-PAF and phorbol myristate acetate were without effect on 5,15-DiHETE formation from 15-HpETE. This stimulation of 5,15-DiHETE synthesis by A23187 or by natural agonists was effectively inhibited by MK-886, a compound that has recently been reported to inhibit the A23187-induced translocation of 5-LO to membrane structures. Furthermore, natural-agonist-induced activation of the 5-LO-mediated transformation of 15-HpETE was inhibited by pertussis toxin, indicating the involvement of a GTP-binding protein in the 5-LO activation process.

Abstract
1. The mechanism(s) involved in the mobilization of calcium induced by arachidonic acid in human neutrophils was investigated. 2. The addition of arachidonic acid to a suspension of human neutrophils led to a time- and concentration-dependent mobilization of calcium which was the result of two separate and experimentally differentiable processes. The latter consisted of a rapid and transient phase followed by a slower and more sustained response. 3. The initial phase of calcium mobilization elicited by arachidonic acid was decreased in the presence of EGTA, inhibited by pertussis toxin as well as by nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA), and diminished following a pre-incubation with leukotriene B4, but not platelet-activating factor. 4. The characteristics of the first phase of the mobilization of calcium were consistent with an interaction of the fatty acid with the leukotriene B4 receptors, either directly or indirectly following the synthesis of leukotriene B4, as well as with a release of internal calcium. 5. The second, slower and more sustained phase of calcium mobilization was more apparent at high concentrations (greater than or equal to 8-16 microM) of arachidonic acid, and was relatively insensitive to pertussis toxin, EGTA or NDGA. 6. The characteristics of the 'slow' phase of calcium mobilization by arachidonic acid are consistent with its being associated primarily with a release of calcium from internal storage pools. 7. The data presented indicate that the mechanism of mobilization of calcium by arachidonic acid in human neutrophils is complex and involves specific activation pathways employed, in part at least, by other neutrophil agonists. These findings may have relevance to various inflammatory situations in which the elevated levels of extracellular arachidonic acid known to be present could modulate the functional responsiveness of the neutrophils to other stimuli.
