On the expression and regulation of 5-lipoxygenase in human lymphocytes.

Abstract: The expression of arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase (arachidonate:oxygen 5-oxidoreductase, EC 1.13.11.34) and the 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein (FLAP) genes in human tonsillar B cells and lymphoblastoid B-cell lines was demonstrated at the transcriptional level by reverse transcription-PCR analysis. Also, five lymphoblastoid T-cell lines were investigated and found to express the FLAP gene but not the 5-lipoxygenase gene, suggesting that the transcriptional regulation of these two genes is different.

“…Differentiation in the presence of TGFP and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, is essential for induction of high cellular 5-lipoxygenase activity in these cells. Moreover, B-lymphocytes and B-lymphocytic cell lines like BL41 -E95-A express 5-lipoxygenase protein and activity in cell homogenates, but intact cells do not release leukotrienes after stimulation with ionophore A23187 and arachidonic acid [22]. As shown in Table 1, suppression of cellular 5-lipoxygenase activity Me,SO-differentiated HL-60 and BL41-E95-A cells requires the presence of serum.…”

“…In contrast to mature monocytes or granulocytes, lymphocytes do not respond with leukotriene synthesis after stimulation with ionophore and arachidonic acid [22]. Therefore, it was interesting to check whether the inhibition of cellular 5-lipoxygenase activity in B-lymphocytes is due to selenium-dependent GSH-peroxidases or to selenium-independent peroxidase activity provided by GSH S-transferases.…”

“…PGs are synthesized de novo from membrane-released arachidonic acid when cells (including T cells) are activated by mechanical trauma or by specific cytokines, growth factors, and other stimuli (e.g., collagen and ADP in platelets, bradykinin, and thrombin in endothelium) (23,24). In this study, we link regulation of a newly identified pool of preformed CXCR3 and CXCR1 in human CD4 ϩ T cells with arachidonic acid and cyclooxygenase (COX) 3 activity.…”

“…A possible explanation could be that a part of the 5-LO exists as dimer and/or in a complex with other soluble proteins. It is known that 5-LO in B-lymphocytes can be activated by treatment with diamide (Jakobsson et al , 1992 ). Thus, it is reasonable to assume that in the presence of high intracellular GSH levels, diamide leads to the glutathionylation of 5-LO.…”
