Cultured human umbilical endothelial cells were incubated with lipoxins and their ability to generate prostacyclin (PGI2) was assessed and compared to that induced by either leukotriene C4or an ionophore of divalent cations (A‐23,187). When exposed to either lipoxin A4, lipoxin B4, or 7‐cis, 11‐trans‐lipoxin A4, endothelial cells generated prostacyclin detected as 6‐keto‐PGF1α. Of the lipoxins examined, 7‐cis, 11‐trans‐lipoxin A4proved to be the most effective with PGI2production twice that induced by equimolar amounts of A‐23,187 (5 μM). On a molar basis, lipoxin A4and lipoxin B4were less potent than leukotriene C4although they were more efficacious. When either lipoxin A4or lipoxin B4was added to cells simultaneously with leukotriene C4, the formation of prostacyclin was greater than that induced by leukotriene C4alone. During the time course of exposure to lipoxins (0–20 min, 37°C), cultured endothelial cells did not further transform these compounds via ω‐oxidation as determined by reverse‐phase HPLC. These data indicate that lipoxins can stimulate PGI2generation by human endothelial cells. Moreover, they suggest a role for these lipoxygenase products of arachidonic acid in the regulation of hemostasis, inflammation and vascular reactivity.
