Arachidonic acid metabolism in murine lymphoma cell sublines differing in radiation sensitivity

Prostaglandins, Leukotrienes, and Essential Fatty Acids
B Sochanowicz, I Szumiel

Abstract

14C arachidonic acid incorporation and 14C radioactivity release as well as prostaglandin (PG) and 5-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (5-HETE) synthesis were measured in the pair of murine lymphoma L5178Y (LY) cell sublines differing in radiation sensitivity. Both LY sublines, LY-R (resistant) and LY-S (sensitive), incorporated exogenous arachidonic acid and released it from membrane phospholipids. Ca2+ ionophores (ionomycin and A23187) but not PMA stimulated the liberation of 14C arachidonic acid in LY cells. PMA did not potentiate the 14C arachidonic acid release both in the presence or in the absence of A23187; this observation suggests that protein kinase C activation is not essential for the regulation of arachidonic acid release by LY-R and LY-S cells. X-irradiation (5 Gy) did not change the uptake of 14C arachidonic acid into LY-R and LY-S cells and did not potentiate the release of its total radioactivity from the cells. PG synthesis was stimulated in irradiated LY-R cells but not in LY-S cells. The susceptibility of eicosanoid metabolism to A23187 and H2O2 was altered in irradiated LY-R cells. A23187 stimulated only PG and 5-HETE synthesis in irradiated LY-R cells. H2O2 did not stimulate the synthesis of PG from exogenous ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
