5(S)-hydroxy-eicosatetraenoate (5(S)-HETE) enhanced the ability of platelet-activating factor (PAF) to stimulate neutrophil inositol phospholipid turnover, Ca2+ transients, superoxide anion generation, and degranulation. It did not alter responses to leukotriene B4, N-formyl-methionylleucylphenylalanine, or ionomycin. Moreover, 5(R)- and 15(S)-HETE had little effect on PAF. 5(S)-HETE thus acted stereospecifically and stimulus-selectively to potentiate early occurring transductional events as well as later occurring functional responses to PAF. The HETE may influence the actions of PAF by up-regulating PAF receptors and/or these receptors' linkages with the G-protein/phospholipase C axis.

15(S)-Hydroxy-(5Z,8Z,11Z,13E)-eicosatetraenoic acid (15-HETE) exerted a time- and concentration-dependent inhibition of superoxide anion (O2-) production and exocytosis of both azurophil and specific granule constituents from human polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) stimulated with the receptor-specific agonists, N-formylmethionylleucylphenylalanine (FMLP), platelet-activating factor, and leukotriene B4, but not that elicited by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate. 15-HETE did not alter the binding of FMLP to its specific receptors on PMN but, rather, appeared to interfere with a subsequent process in signal transduction. Receptor-coupled production of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) and increases in cytosolic free calcium elicited with FMLP, platelet-activating factor, and leukotriene B4 were suppressed by 15-HETE. 15-HETE did not, however, inhibit the mobilization of 45Ca from intracellular stores elicited by the addition of InsP3 to permeabilized PMN. 15-HETE suppressed O2- production and increases in intracellular [Ca2+] induced when cell-surface receptors were bypassed and the PMN were activated directly by the guanine nucleotide-binding protein (G protein) activators aluminum fluoride (AlF4-) and mastoparan. 15-HETE, however, did not perturb all G protein functions because cAMP production in FMLP-activated PMN was essentially unaffected by 15-HETE. These data support the proposition that 15-HETE modulates receptor-triggered activation of PMN either by uncoupling G protein stimulation of phospholipase C or by directly inhibiting phospholipase C, thus inhibiting the InsP3-dependent rise in intracellular [Ca2+] that is prerequisite for PMN responsiveness to receptor agonists.
