Abstract
Cytosolic phospholipase A(2)-inhibited astrocytes respond to the cocktail lipopolysaccharide/interferon-gamma with an immediate formation of peroxynitrite (ONOO(-)) and a delayed lethal response. Low concentrations of arachidonic acid (ARA; i.e., <0.1 microM) cause tyrosine kinase-dependent inhibition of neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) activity, thereby suppressing formation of ONOO(-) and the ensuing lethal response. ARA promoted its effects only when given to the cultures just prior to, or in parallel with, the proinflammatory mixture. High concentrations of ARA, i.e., >3 microM, promoted cytoprotection when applied to the cultures up to 50 min after the formation of endogenous ONOO(-) had been completed or up to 30 min after addition of exogenous ONOO(-). The mechanism(s) involved in these responses was, however, independent of tyrosine kinase activation and was in fact mediated by ARA metabolites of the lipoxygenase pathway. These results are consistent with a scenario in which astrocytes respond to low or high amounts of ARA with the triggering of different pathways involved in the inflammatory response. Early nNOS inhibition mediated by very low levels of ARA is indeed critical for nuclear factor-kappaB activation, ...Continue Reading
