Arachidonic acid (AA) can be metabolized in endothelial cells (EC) to a series of epoxides via cytochrome P-450 epoxygenase with 14,15 epoxyeicosatrienoic acid (14,15-EET) as the major product. In this communication we report that 14,15-EET significantly enhances U937 cell attachment to EC with maximal cell attachment at 2.5 to 5 x 10(-7) M 14,15-EET. Thus, 14,15-EET may play a substantial role in inflammation and/or atherogenesis by inducing monocyte attachment to EC.
花生四烯酸(AA)在内皮细胞(EC)中可通过细胞色素P-450环氧酶代谢为一系列环氧化物,其中14,15-环氧二十碳三烯酸(14,15-EET)为主要产物。在本通讯中,我们报告14,15-EET能显著增强U937细胞与内皮细胞的黏附,在2.5至5×10⁻⁷ M的14,15-EET浓度下细胞黏附达到最大值。因此,14,15-EET可能通过诱导单核细胞与内皮细胞的黏附在炎症和/或动脉粥样硬化形成中发挥重要作用。
