摘要
We investigated the effects of mono-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (HETEs) and N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (F-Met-Leu-Phe) on rat aortic smooth muscle cell migration in modified Boyden chambers. 12-HETE showed the most potent stimulatory effect on smooth muscle cell migration among the mono-HETEs tested. The optimal concentrations for cell migration were 3 × 10-15 and 3 × 10-13 g/ml for 12-HETE and 10-8 g/ml for 15-HETE. 5-HETE and F-Met-Leu-Phe were inactive with these cells. As 12-HETE is biosynthesized from arachidonic acid by the 12-lipoxygenase pathway in platelets and macrophages, and 15-HETE by the 15-lipoxygenase pathway in granulocytes, the present results indicate an important role for such cells in the early phase of atherosclerosis.
