RESUMO
Human lung explants maintained in culture for 7 d incorporate [3H]glucosamine into mucous glycoproteins. Ethanol-precipitable, glucosamine-labeled mucous secretion was measured, and the effects of different pharmacologic agents upon this secretion were investigated. Anaphylaxed human lung generates prostaglandin (PG) synthesis and increased mucous release. Arachidonic acid (AA), PGA2, PGD2, and PGF2α significantly increased mucous glycoprotein release, whereas PGE2 significantly reduced release. Evidence which suggests that lipoxygenase products of AA augment mucous release includes the following: (a) Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID: acetylsalicylic acid and indomethacin) increase mucous release while preventing prostaglandin formation. (b) The increase in mucous release induced by AA or NSAID is additive once the agents are combined. (c) Several nonspecific lipoxygenase inhibitors (eicosa-5,8,11,14-tetraynoic acid; vitamin E; nordihydroguaiaretic acid; and α-naphthol) inhibit mucous release. Three additional lines of evidence directly indicate that monohydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (HETE) causes increased mucous release: (a) the addition of a mixture of synthetic HETE (24-600 nM) increases mucous release; (b) pure 12-HETE (1-100 nM) also increases mucous release; (c) mucous release is increased synergistically by the combination of HETE and NSIAD.
