Abstract
These studies evaluated further the relationship between the metabolism of reactive
oxygen species (ROS) and prostaglandins in human granulocytes. Our experiments examined
(1) the effects of several scavengers of ROS on thromboxane B2 (TXB2) production by zymosan-stimulated PMNs, (2) the capacity of the granulocytes of patients
with chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) to produce TXB2, and finally (3) the generation of oxygen radicals in PMNs stimulated to produce
TXB2 by the enzyme phospholipase A2. Our results confirm that both zymosan- and PMA-stimulated PMNs release increased
amounts of TXB2. This enhanced production of TXB2 by normal PMNs could not be impaired and, in fact, appeared to be enhanced by scavengers
of ROS. The PMNs of one patient with CGD produced TXB2 in an amount similar to those of healthy persons, whereas the TXB2 produced by the PMNs of a second patient was markedly increased. Finally, the enzyme
phospholipase A2 stimulated TXB2 production in PMNs without stimulating the production of ROS. These data indicate
that the activation of prostaglandin metabolism in PMNs is not dependent on the simultaneous
production of ROS by these cells. However, the simultaneous production of ROS may
be associated with an alteration prostaglandin metabolism.
