Abstract
Arachidonic acid (AA) is a common dietary n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid that is present in an esterified form in cell membrane phospholipids, and it might be present in the extracellular microenvironment. In particular, AA promotes MAPK activation and mediates the adhesion of MDA-MB-435 breast cancer cells to type IV collagen. However, the signal transduction pathways mediated by AA have not been studied in detail. Our results demonstrate that stimulation of MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells with AA promotes an increase in the phoshorylation of Src and FAK, as revealed by site-specific antibodies that recognized the phosphorylation state of Src at Tyr-418, and of FAK at tyrosine-397 and in vitro kinase assays. In addition, AA also induces an increase in the migration of MDA-MB-231 cells. In contrast, AA does not induce phosphorylation of FAK and an increase in cell migration of non-tumorigenic epithelial cells MCF10A. Inhibition of Gi/Go proteins, LOX and Src activity prevent FAK activation and cell migration. In conclusion, our results demonstrate, for the first time, that Gi/Go proteins, LOX and Src play an important role in FAK activation and cell migration induced by AA in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Arachidonic acid, a precursor of prostaglandins (PGs), is released by phospholipase A2 (PLA2) and plays an important role in biological reactions. We examined the roles of arachidonic acid on the pathway of PG synthesis and osteoblast differentiation by using clone MC3T3-E1 cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS The effect of arachidonic acid was evaluated by the measurement of alkaline phosphatase activity, cells shape, production of arachidonic acid and the expression of cyclooxygenase (COX). RESULTS Arachidonic acid dose dependently decreased alkaline phosphatase activity and increased PGE2 production in MC3T3-E1 cells. The cell shape changed from polygonal to fibroblastic following treatment with arachidonic acid. These effects were recovered by the treatment of NS-398 and indomethacin. Arachidonic acid increased the expression of COX-2 mRNA and the PGE2 production. The exogenous arachidonic acid induced the release of cellular arachidonic acid in MC3T3-E1 cells. Moreover, methylarachidonyl fluorophosphonate suppressed the arachidonic acid release and the expression of COX-2 mRNA. CONCLUSION The present results indicate that exogenous arachidonic acid stimulated the activity of PLA2, leading to the new release of membranous arachidonic acid. The amplified arachidonic acid enhanced PGE2 production by COX-2, which inhibits the differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells. Our results provide a new insight into the molecular mechanisms by which exogenous arachidonic acid plays a role as a paracrine/autocrine amplifier of PGE2 biosynthesis by coupling with PLA2 and COX-2.

Abstract
Because the metabolites of arachidonic acid participate in many physiopathological responses, including inflammation and platelet aggregation, cyclooxygenase inhibitors are important in the treatment of associated diseases. A biologically active compound, 5-ethyl-4-methoxy-2-phenylquinoline (KTC-5), selectively and concentration dependently inhibited aggregation of platelets from man and ATP release caused by arachidonic acid (200 microM) and collagen (10 microg mL(-1)) without affecting the aggregation caused by thrombin (0.1 U mL(-1)) and U46619 (2 microM). The IC50 value (drug concentration inhibiting maximum response by 50%) of KTC-5 for aggregation induced by arachidonic acid and collagen was 0.11+/-0.04 microM and 0.20+/-0.03 microM, respectively. This inhibitory effect of KTC-5 was reversible and time dependent. KTC-5 specifically inhibited intracellular calcium mobilization initiated by arachidonic acid or collagen without affecting that caused by thrombin or U46619 in human platelets. Furthermore, KTC-5 inhibited thromboxane B2 and prostaglandin D2 formation provoked by arachidonic acid. The IC50 value of KTC-5 for arachidonic-acid-induced thromboxane B2 formation was 0.07+/-0.02 microM. Based on these observations, the data indicated that KTC-5 potently inhibited human platelet aggregation and ATP release mainly via the inhibition of the cyclooxygenase-1 activity. Moreover, KTC-5 inhibited lipopolysaccharide-induced prostaglandin E2 formation in RAW264.7 cells in the presence of external arachidonic acid with an IC50 value of 0.17+/-0.06 microM. Immunoblot analysis showed that KTC-5 did not affect the cyclooxygenase-2 expression in the presence of lipopolysaccharide on RAW264.7 cells. This result indicated that KTC-5 affects the activity of cyclooxygenase-2. According to these data, we concluded that KTC-5 is a cyclooxygenase inhibitor for both subtypes.

Abstract
1. In a previous study, we demonstrated phenylephrine-stimulated arachidonic acid (AA) release in rabbit cultured aortic smooth muscle cells. Therefore, we have investigated the functional implications of AA which are involved in the cellular response to phenylephrine, particularly proliferation and migration of rabbit cultured aortic smooth muscle cells. 2. First, to determine whether AA directly modifies proliferation and mobility of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), we exposed the cells to AA. AA induced proliferation and migration of the cells in a dose-dependent fashion. Concomitantly added catalase inhibited the proliferation and chemotaxis induced by AA of VSMCs. Conversely, aminotriazole enhanced the proliferation and migration induced by AA. 3. Secondly, we investigated whether the proliferation and migration of VSMCs by phenylephrine were related to AA and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The proliferation and chemotaxis of VSMCs by phenylephrine were inhibited by a phospholipase A2 (PLA2) inhibitor, or catalase. 4. Lastly, we investigated the effects of AA and phenylephrine on the content of H2O2 in VSMCs. AA and phenylephrine treatment led to an increase of H2O2 in a dose-dependent manner. 5. These results suggest that the addition of phenylephrine to the cells caused the enhancement of proliferation and migration, probably by mediating AA release and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production.

Abstract
We have reported previously that hydrogen peroxide induces arachidonic acid release from prelabeled vascular smooth muscle cells. Here, we studied the effect of hydrogen peroxide on the phosphorylation of cytosolic phospholipase A2 in these cells. Hydrogen peroxide induced a rapid, time-dependent increase in the phosphorylation of cytosolic phospholipase A2. Hydrogen peroxide also increased arachidonic acid release from prelabeled cells in a time-dependent manner similar to that of phosphorylation of cytosolic phospholipase A2. Protein kinase C depletion significantly inhibited the hydrogen peroxide-stimulated cytosolic phospholipase A2 phosphorylation and arachidonic acid release. Hydrogen peroxide caused a time-dependent increase in mitogen activated protein kinase activity. Taken together, these findings suggest that cytosolic phospholipase A2 may, at least in part, contribute to arachidonic acid release induced by hydrogen peroxide and this effect appears to be mediated by protein kinase C and mitogen activated protein kinase.

Abstract
Arachidonic acid (AA) metabolism in nuclei of human pro-myelocytic leukemia (HL-60) cells was investigated during retinoic acid (RA)-induced granulocytic differentiation and 1 alpha, 25 dihydroxy-vitamin D3-induced monocytic differentiation. The whole control HL-60 cells and their nuclei hardly converted [1-14C]-AA to any metabolites comigrating with authentic prostaglandins (PGs). On the other hand, RA-treated HL-60 cells acquired the ability to convert [1-14C]-AA to PGE2 predominantly and thromboxane B2 (TXB2) to a small degree, whereas the nuclei of the differentiated cells acquired the ability to convert predominantly to TXB2. In contrast, 1 alpha, 25-dihydroxy-vitamin D3-treated HL-60 cells acquired the ability to convert [1-14C]-AA to PGE2, PGF2 alpha, TXB2 and 12-hydroxy-5,8,10-heptadecatrienoic acid (HHT), whereas the nuclei of the differentiated cells acquired the ability to convert to PGF2 alpha, TXB2 and HHT. The significance of the acquisition of cyclooxygenase and TX synthetase by the nucleus is unclear, but there may be a specific relationship between the specific PGs formed by the nuclear membrane and nuclear events during HL-60 cell differentiation.

Abstract
In a variety of stimulated cells, platelet-activating factor (PAF) and numerous arachidonate derivatives are co-products that form as a consequence of receptor-mediated phospholipid mobilization. These lipid co-products produce a plethora of biological effects in a wide variety of cell systems. Furthermore, they often have a fascinating although less widely appreciated, interaction. 5-HETE, at submicromolar concentrations, exerts relatively few direct bioactions. It does, however, potently (16-160 nM) raise cytosolic free calcium [Ca2+]i and augment PAF-induced responses in human polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) by as much as 100- to 1000-fold. 5-HETE acts on PMN by a structurally specific, stereospecific and pertussis toxin-inhibitable mechanism. In addition, PMN exposed to 5-HETE exhibit homologous but not heterologous desensitization. These findings suggest that 5-HETE, like PAF, may bind to its own specific plasmalemmal receptors to exert its unique set of bioactions. However, further investigation is required to demonstrate any putative 5-HETE receptors. Other potential mechanisms of 5-HETE-induced bioactions together with the possible effects of 5-HETE on PAF transduction mechanisms are also discussed.

Abstract
Tumour necrosis factor (TNF), a lymphokine released by activated macrophages, has diverse effects on a wide variety of cell types. TNF exerts these effects via specific cell surface receptors; however little is known of the biochemical events that ensue. We have shown that TNF rapidly induces the proto-oncogenes c-fos and c-jun in the adipogenic TA1 cell line and have used these responses to characterize the intracellular mediators of TNF action. We find that arachidonic acid, which is released in response to TNF, induces c-fos, but not c-jun mRNA in quiescent TA1 cells. Pretreatment of the cells with lipoxygenase inhibitors abolishes the induction of c-fos by TNF, while the induction of c-jun is unaffected; in contrast, a cyclooxygenase inhibitor has no effect on either response. Finally, we have demonstrated that TNF stimulates production of lipoxygenase metabolites in TA1 cells and that one of these, 5-HPETE, induces c-fos, but not c-jun. These data suggest that TNF activates two second messenger pathways, one of which is dependent on release of arachidonic acid and its subsequent conversion to a lipoxygenase metabolite.

Abstract
HL-60 is a human promyelocytic cell line that differentiates along the granulocytic pathway when incubated with dimethylsulfoxide and along the monocytic pathway when incubated with 1,25-(OH)2D3. We compared arachidonic acid metabolism in undifferentiated, DMSO-differentiated, and 1,25-(OH)2D3-differentiated cells. DMSO- and 1,25-(OH)2D3-differentiated cells metabolized exogenous arachidonic acid to both cyclo-oxygenase products (predominantly thromboxane B2 and prostaglandin E2) and 5-lipoxygenase products, including leukotriene B4. Undifferentiated cells produce these metabolites in much smaller amounts. DMSO-differentiated cells released a large percentage of phospholipid-bound arachidonic acid in response to stimulation with the ionophore A23187, zymosan, or formylmethionylleucylphenylalanine (FMLP). DMSO-differentiated cells stimulated with A23187 converted released arachidonate to LTB4 and TxB2. In contrast, 1,25-(OH)2D3-differentiated cells released a smaller percentage of phospholipid-bound arachidonate in response to stimuli, and undifferentiated cells released none at all. The three cell types (undifferentiated, DMSO-differentiated, and 1,25-(OH)2D3-differentiated) were homogenized and the 10,000 X g supernatant incubated with [14C]arachidonic acid. The supernatants from the homogenates of the DMSO- and 1,25-(OH)2D3-differentiated cells metabolized [14C]arachidonic acid to cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase products, but the supernatant from the homogenate of undifferentiated cells did not. These data indicate that differentiation of HL-60 cells with DMSO or 1,25-(OH)2D3 induces cyclooxygenase and 5-lipoxygenase and induces mechanisms for the release of arachidonate from phospholipids by soluble and particulate stimuli.

Abstract
The effect of 5-lipoxygenase products of arachidonic acid on 14-C-alkyl-acetyl-glycero-phosphocholine (14C-alkyl-acetyl GPC) production in rat peritoneal macrophages was investigated, using macrophages prelabeled with N-methyl-14C-alkyl-lyso-glycero-phosphocholine (14C-alkyl-lyso GPC) (prelabeled macrophages). Bromophenacyl bromide (BPB: phospholipase A2 inhibitor), and AA861 (5-lipoxygenase inhibitor) suppressed the production of 14C-alkyl-acetyl GPC in the A23187-stimulated prelabeled macrophages in a dose-dependent manner. A23187-induced hydrolysis of 14C-alkyl-acyl-glycero-phosphocholine (14C-alkyl-acyl GPC) and formation of 14C-alkyl-lyso GPC were also reduced by BPB and AA861. However, indomethacin (IND: cyclo-oxygenase inhibitor) had no significant effect on 14C-alkyl-acetyl GPC production in the A23187-stimulated prelabeled macrophages. Exogenously supplied 5-hydroperoxy-6,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoic acid (5-HPETE) and 5-hydroxy-6,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoic acid (5-HETE) reversed the inhibitory effect of AA861 on 14C-alkyl-acetyl GPC production in A23187-stimulated prelabeled macrophages. Reduced hydrolysis of 14C-alkyl-acyl GPC and formation of 14C-alkyl-lyso GPC in A23187-stimulated prelabeled macrophages, which were pretreated with AA861, were also reversed by the addition of 5-HPETE and 5-HETE. However, LTB4 had no such effects. 5-HPETE and 5-HETE augmented the stimulatory effect of A23187 on 14C-alkyl-acetyl GPC production in prelabeled macrophages, while they could not stimulate alkyl-acetyl GPC production in the absence of A23187. These results suggest that 5-lipoxygenase products, especially 5-HPETE and 5-HETE, may play an important role in alkyl-acetyl GPC production in rat peritoneal macrophages.

Abstract
In starfish oocyte maturation (meiosis reinitiation) is induced by the natural hormone 1-methyladenine (1-Me-Ade). This paper shows that arachidonic acid (AA) induces oocyte maturation at concentrations above 0.5 microM. This maturation shares many characteristics with 1-MeAde-induced maturation: same kinetics, same required contact time, same stimulations of protein phosphorylation and sodium influx. Although calcium facilitates the AA-induced but not the 1-MeAde-induced maturation, AA, like 1-MeAde, does not stimulate the uptake of calcium. Calcium does not facilitate the uptake of AA by oocytes. Out of 36 different fatty acids (saturated and unsaturated), only eicosatetraenoic (AA) and eicosapentaenoic acids were found to mimic 1-MeAde. Calcium-dependent phospholipases A2 from bee venom and Naja venom also induce maturation (0.1-1 unit/ml) when added externally to the oocytes. Phospholipase A2 inhibitors (quinacrine, bromophenacylbromide) block maturation; inhibition is reversed by increasing the 1-MeAde concentration and only occurs during the hormone-dependent period. AA is usually metabolized through oxidation by cyclooxygenase or lipoxygenase. Cyclooxygenase inhibitors (acetylsalicylic acid, indomethacin, tolazoline) do not block maturation; prostaglandins E2, D2, F2 alpha, I2, and thromboxane B2 do not induce meiosis reinitiation. On the other hand, lipoxygenase inhibitors (quercetin, butylated hydroxytoluene, and eicosatetraynoic acid) block 1-MeAde-induced maturation; although leukotrienes (A4, B4, C4, D4, E4) have no effects on oocytes, two other lipoxygenase products, 12- and 15-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (and their corresponding hydroperoxy-) induce oocyte maturation (around 1 microM). The possible mode of action of the fatty acids inducing oocyte maturation is discussed.
