Abstract
We have proposed a mechanism that platelet aggregation is regulated by its 12-lipoxygenase product, 12S-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (12-HETE) (Sekiya, F., Takagi, J. and Saito, Y. (1989) Thrombos. Res. 56, 407-415). Inhibition of endogenous 12-HETE production by 15-HETE, a specific inhibitor of 12-lipoxygenase, accelerated aggregation of bovine platelets in response to collagen and arachidonic acid liberation from phospholipids was enhanced. Exogenously added 12-HETE suppressed collagen-induced liberation of arachidonic acid and the aggregation was also inhibited. On the other hand, 12-HETE did not interfere with thromboxane synthesis from free arachidonic acid in a cell-free system. These observations suggest that 12-HETE exerts a negative feedback to prevent excess aggregation through interference with arachidonic acid liberation from membrane phospholipids.Entities:
