Activation of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNL) leads to the release of arachidonate from cellular phospholipids via a phospholipase A2, and conversion of products of the 5-lipoxygenase pathway. Evidence to date indicates the dietary vitamin E ((R,R,R)-.alpha.-tocopherol) can influence both cyclooxygenase and phospholipase A2 activities and that the effect of this vitamin is cell/tissue specific. The present study was undertaken in order to examine the effects of varying dietary tocopherol on PMNL tocopherol content and 5-lipoxygenase product profile using the ionophore A23187 as stimulant in the presence and absence of exogenous arachidonate. Feeding semi-purified diets containing 0, 30 or 3000 ppm of (R,R,R)-.alpha.-tocopherol acetate to weanling rats for 17 weeks resulted in a dose-related enrichment of PMNL tocopherol. Stimulation of PMNL elicited a significant and rapid loss of tocopherol. When PMNL were stimulated with A23187 alone, the synthesis of 5-HETE, LTB4 and 19-hydroxy-LTB4 was decreased in proportion to increasing dietary tocopherol concentrations. However, when exogenous arachidonate was provided with A23187, intermediate amounts of dietary tocopherol (30 ppm) still suppressed the formation of 5-lipoxygenase products, but high doses (3000 ppm) did not have any additional inhibitory effect. This differential response to high concentrations of vitamin E in the presence and absence of exogenous arachidonate highly suggest that at these concentrations, tocopherol may act principally at the level of substrate release whereas at lower concentrations, 5-lipoxygenase is inhibited. Data from this study demonstrated that attenuation of the formation of 5-lipoxygenase products in PMNL can be achieved by dietary vitamin E enrichment.
