5-Lipoxygenase (5-LOX) plays key roles in infection and allergic responses. Herein, four 5-LOX-derived lipids comprising 5-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (HETE) attached to phospholipids (PLs), either phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) or phosphatidylcholine (18:0p/5-HETE-PE, 18:1p/5-HETE-PE, 16:0p/5-HETE-PE, and 16:0a/5-HETE-PC), were identified in primary human neutrophils. They formed

5-Oxo-6E,8Z,11Z,14Z-eicosatetraenoic acid (5-oxo-ETE) is a metabolite of the 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) product 5S-hydroxy-6E,8Z,11Z,14Z-eicosatetraenoic acid (5-HETE), formed by the microsomal enzyme 5-hydroxyeicosanoid dehydrogenase (5-HEDH). 5-oxo-ETE is a chemoattractant for neutrophils and eosinophils, both in vitro and in vivo. To examine the substrate

Human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNL) convert 6-trans isomers of leukotriene B4 (LTB4) to dihydro metabolites (Powell, W.S., and Gravelle, F. (1988) J. Biol. Chem. 263, 2170-2177). In the present study we investigated the mechanism for the initial step in the formation

The arachidonic acid released from cellular phospholipids of specifically stimulated platelets and leukocytes is oxygenated enzymatically by two major pathways. A complex cycloxygenase converts some of the free arachidonic acid to labile endoperoxides that are transformed to prostaglandins, thromboxanes and

Celecoxib is a selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor used in the therapy of inflammatory and painful conditions. Various COX-2-independent pharmacological effects, such as a chemo-preventive and tumor-regressive activity have been suggested, but the respective non-COX-2 targets of celecoxib are still a
