Resumen
We evaluated 15-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (15-HETE), a major arachidonic acid product of vascular endothelium and leukocytes, for its effect on neovascularization. In a modified Boyden chamber assay, 15-HETE (10-7 M) sitmulated human retinal microvessel endothelial cell migration by 42 ± 10% (mean ± S.E.M., p<0.01). 12-HETE, a major arachidonic acid metabolite of platelets, had no such effect. Further studies in the rabbit corneal pocket assay revealed that 15-HETE stimulated neovascularization in vivo. Concentrations at which the in vivo effects were observed are within the range generated by several cell types and are achievable in human serum. 15-HETE stimulation of human endothelial cell migration in vitro and neovascularization in vivo suggests that it may play a role in vasoproliferative disorders.
