Abstract
We have examined the effects of various inhibitors of the lipoxygenase pathway of
arachidonic acid metabolism on the growth of three well-characterized human leukemia
cell lines, HL-60, K-562, and KG-1. An intact lipoxygenase pathway, and the synthesis
of leukotriene C4 (LTC4), which requires reduced glutathione, is essential for in
vitro growth of normal myeioid progenitors (CFU-GM). We tested the effects of nordihydroguiaretic
acid (NDGA) and caffeic acid (CA), inhibitors of lipoxygenase; buthionine sulfoximine
(BSO), which inhibits glutathione synthesis; and Acivicin, a glutamine antagonist,
on these cell lines and compared the effects with those seen on CFU-GM. In semisolid
culture, all three cell lines were inhibited by NDGA, CA, and BSO in a dose-dependent
manner similar to that in CFU-GM but were relatively resistant to Acivicin. In liquid
culture, all three cell lines exhibited relative resistance to inhibition by both
BSO and Acivicin, with KG-1 also demonstrating relative resistance to inhibition by
NDGA and CA. The inhibition of HL-60 by CA could be completely reversed by the addition
of exogenous leukotriene D4. The dependence on the lipoxygenase pathway may be altered
to varying degrees in different leukemic lines and may depend on culture conditions.
Whether these changes may contribute to the pathogenesis of leukemia or merely represent
secondary metabolic changes is yet to be determined.
