      Abstract

      Atherosclerotic plaque formation is accompanied by hyperproliferative events which have many features of an inflammatory response. A high-performance liquid chromatography procedure was developed to analyze the inflammatory prostaglandins, leukotrienes and hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (HETEs) produced by aortic segments. Normal rabbit aortas incubated with tritiated arachidonic acid synthesized 12-HETE as the principal lipoxygenase metabolite, and prostacyclin as the major cyclooxygenase product. In contrast, atherosclerotic aortas from both cholesterol-fed and Watanabe Heritable Hyperlipidemic rabbits showed major increases in synthesis of lipoxygenase-derived 15-HETE, which became the predominant eicosanoid in the aortas of both types of rabbit. No leukotrienes or other 5-lipoxygenase products were detected to the detection limit of 0.5 pmol/cm aorta. 15-HETE, which is chemotactic for smooth muscle cells, mitogenic for endothelial cells, and an inhibitor of prostacyclin synthesis may thus play a role in atherogenesis.
