Pieces of tumor tissue were implanted subcutaneously in the right flank of BN female rats. After 3, 7, 10, 12, 14 and 17 days the lungs were lavaged and the alveolar macrophages collected. The cells were activated with the calcium ionophore A23187 and the formation of thromboxane B2 (TxB2), leukotriene B4 (LTB4) and 12-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (12-HETE) determined. The formation of TxB2 decreased considerably until day 7. Thereafter, no changes occurred. The formation of LTB4 increased after the tumor implantation until day 10 and remained stable for the rest of the period, 12-HETE formation was approximately similar, with a decrease at day 12 but continued to increase after day 14. These results suggest that during tumor growth an inhibition of the cyclo-oxygenase or thromboxane synthase occurs and an activation of the C5- and C12-lipoxygenases of the alveolar macrophages.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007975 Leukotriene B4 The major metabolite in neutrophil polymorphonuclear leukocytes. It stimulates polymorphonuclear cell function (degranulation, formation of oxygen-centered free radicals, arachidonic acid release, and metabolism).

D008264 Macrophages The relatively long-lived phagocytic cell of mammalian tissues that are derived from blood MONOCYTES. Main types are PERITONEAL MACROPHAGES; ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES; HISTIOCYTES; KUPFFER CELLS of the liver; and OSTEOCLASTS. They may further differentiate within chronic inflammatory lesions to EPITHELIOID CELLS or may fuse to form FOREIGN BODY GIANT CELLS or LANGHANS GIANT CELLS.

D011863 Radioimmunoassay Classic quantitative assay for detection of antigen-antibody reactions using a radioactively labeled substance (radioligand) either directly or indirectly to measure the binding of the unlabeled substance to a specific antibody or other receptor system. Non-immunogenic substances (e.g., haptens) can be measured if coupled to larger carrier proteins (e.g., bovine gamma-globulin or human serum albumin) capable of inducing antibody formation. Radioimmunoassays
D005260 Female Females
D006893 Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic Acids Eicosatetraenoic acids substituted in any position by one or more hydroxy groups. They are important intermediates in a series of biosynthetic processes leading from arachidonic acid to a number of biologically active compounds such as prostaglandins, thromboxanes, and leukotrienes.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
