Leukotriene and prostaglandin synthesis pathways in osteoarthritic synovial membranes: regulating factors for interleukin 1beta synthesis.

Résumé

Objective. To study the mechanisms responsible for the cross-talk between lipoxygenase (LOX) and cyclooxygenase (COX) pathways in human osteoarthritic (OA) synovial explants, and to confirm the arachidonic acid (AA) shunting phenomenon and its influence on interleukin 1ß (IL-1ß) synthesis. Methods. Synovial membrane explants were cultured in the absence or presence of different drugs that inhibit COX and/or LOX activities. Concentrations of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), leukotriene B4 (LTB4), lipoxin A4 (LXA4), and IL-1ß were measured. Results. When membrane explants were incubated with naproxen (COX inhibitor) under unstimulated conditions, the production of LTB4 was dose-dependently enhanced, reaching a 5-fold increase over the control. This shunt could be partially reversed by the addition of exogenous PGE2. Under lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation, both licofelone (COX/LOX inhibitor) at therapeutic concentrations and NDGA (LOX inhibitor) inhibited LTB4 production, whereas naproxen did not amplify the LPS-induced LTB4 production. Conversely, using NDGA, it was found that a shunt of AA from the LOX to the COX pathway did not occur. Under LPS conditions, both naproxen and licofelone inhibited LXA4, inducing an increase in the LTB4/LXA4 ratio with naproxen treatment but not with licofelone. Under these conditions, naproxen treatment induced a higher level of IL-1ß production. Conclusion. We demonstrated in OA synovium that a shunt from AA to the LOX pathway occurred and that treatment with a nonselective COX inhibitor could increase the production of LTB4 and secondarily the synthesis of IL-1ß. Therefore treatment with licofelone, which can act on both COX and LOX pathways, may have some interesting properties in the treatment of OA.
