5-Lipoxygenase (5-LO) catalyzes the transformation of arachidonic acid to leukotrienes (LT). In stimulated human PMN, activation of 5-LO involves calcium, p38 MAP kinase (p38) phosphorylation, and translocation of 5-LO from the cytosol to nuclear membranes containing the 5-LO activating protein (FLAP). In this study, cAMP-elevating agents such as isoproterenol, prostaglandin E2, CGS-21680 (an adenosine A2a receptor agonist), the type IV phosphodiesterase inhibitor RO 20-1724, the adenylate cyclase activator forskolin, and the Gs-protein activator cholera toxin all inhibited LT biosynthesis and 5-LO translocation to the nucleus in cytokine-primed human PMN stimulated with platelet-activating factor and in human PMN stimulated with the endomembrane Ca2+-ATPase blocker thapsigargin. Furthermore, monophosphorothioate analogs of cAMP, which activate protein kinase A (PKA), also inhibited LT biosynthesis and 5-LO translocation in stimulated cells. Treatment of PMN with CGS-21680 also prevented the phosphorylation of p38 by thapsigargin. Treatment of PMN with the PKA inhibitors H-89 and KT-5720 prevented the inhibitory effect of cAMP-elevating agents on LT biosynthesis, 5-LO translocation, and p38 phosphorylation, whereas the p38 inhibitor SB 203,580 dose-dependently inhibited arachidonic acid-induced LT biosynthesis. The 5-LO translocation was also inhibitable by the FLAP antagonist MK-0591 and correlated with LT biosynthesis in all experimental conditions tested. These results indicate that cAMP-mediated PKA activation in PMN results in the concomitant inhibition of 5-LO translocation and LT biosynthesis and support a role of p38 in the signaling pathway involved. This represents the first physiological down-regulation mechanism of 5-LO translocation in human PMN.
