Abstract:
:The purpose of this study was to characterize the stimulus that activates the 5-lipoxygenase pathway in human peripheral monocytes (PM) during the process of contact activation. Incubation of PM, but not of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN), in contact-activated, recalcified plasma induced a time-dependent release of leukotrienes (LT). The presence of platelets was required for the generation of cysteinyl-LT, but LTB4 formation also proceeded in their absence, although to a lesser extent. Plasmin, presumably generated via the intrinsic fibrinolytic pathway, was liable for the 5-lipoxygenase stimulation during contact activation inasmuch as (1) the 5-lipoxygenase pathway in PM was stimulated by contact-activated, recalcified, autologous or homologous plasma, but not by factor XII-deficient or prekallikrein-deficient plasma; (2) lysine analogs such as N alpha-acetyl-L-lysine, 6-aminohexanoic acid (6-AHA), or trans-4- (aminomethyl)cyclohexane-1-carboxylic acid (t-AMCA), which inhibit plasmin(ogen) binding to PM plasmin(ogen) binding sites, concentration-dependently reduced the cysteinyl-LT release; (3) plasminogen activators such as urokinase or streptokinase concentration-dependently enhanced the cysteinyl-LT release up to 10 and 1,000 IU/mL, respectively, while higher concentrations were less effective leading to bell-shaped concentration-response curves; (4) plasmin inhibitors such as aprotinin or alpha 2-antiplasmin concentration-dependently inhibited the cysteinyl-LT release; and (5) preincubation of plasma with monoclonal antibodies directed against plasminogen and capable of preventing plasminogen activation blocked the contact-mediated 5-lipoxygenase stimulation. Moreover, incubation of PM with plasmin, but not with plasma kallikrein, in Hanks' balanced salt solution (HBSS)-bovine serum albumin (BSA) 0.4% triggered a concentration-dependent release of LTB4 up to 0.1 caseinolytic units (CU)/mL, with higher concentrations being less effective. By contrast, release of cyclooxygenase metabolites such as thromboxane (TX) B2 and prostaglandin (PG) E2 was not stimulated by plasmin, indicating specificity for the 5-lipoxygenase pathway. With plasmin as a hitherto unknown stimulus of the 5-lipoxygenase pathway in PM, a novel link between contact activation and inflammation has been established.
