摘要：Arachidonic acid cascade inhibitors, including phospholipase A₂ inhibitors, dexamethasone and quinacrine (mepacrine), cyclooxygenase inhibitors, indomethacin and aspirin, and lipoxygenase inhibitor AA861, prevented foam cell formation and cholesterol accumulation in the incubation of thioglycollate-induced mouse peritoneal macrophages with oxidized low density lipoprotein (LDL) at 37 °C for 24 h. These inhibitors similarly prevented foam cell formation of fibronectin- and Ca ionophore A23187-stimulated macrophages. Binding and/or uptake of DiI (1,1′-dioctadecyl-3,3,3′,3′-tetramethylindocarbocyanine)-acetyl LDL by macrophages at 37 °C for 3 h and arachidonic acid release from macrophages at 37 °C for 4 h were inhibited by dexamethasone. Exogenously added phospholipase A₂ of bee venom and Crotalus adamanteous venom increased arachidonic acid release during incubation for 2 h, and increased macrophage binding and/or uptake of DiI-acetyl LDL at 37 °C for 3 h, and foam cell formation at 37 °C for 24 h. Protein kinase inhibitors, ML-9 and staurosporine, that inhibited macrophage binding and/or uptake of DiI-acetyl LDL did not inhibit arachidonic acid release, indicating that protein phosphorylation was not involved in the arachidonic acid pathway in the macrophage scavenger receptor activation. Nordihydroguaiaretic acid that inhibited arachidonic acid release prevented binding and/or uptake of DiI-acetyl LDL. The release of arachidonic acid was not enhanced by fibronectin-stimulation, indicating that Ca influx-dependent stimulation of macrophage activity was not through the activation of phospholipase A₂. These results indicate that, as well as the fibronectin-stimulated Ca influx pathway and protein phosphorylation pathway, the arachidonic acid pathway participated in the activation of macrophages to bind and take up oxidized LDL.
