Leukotriene A(4) (LTA(4)) is a chemically reactive conjugated triene epoxide product derived from 5-lipoxygenase oxygenation of arachidonic acid. At physiological pH, this reactive compound has a half-life of less than 3 s at 37 degrees C and approximately 40 s at 4 degrees C. Regardless of this aqueous instability, LTA(4) is an intermediate in the formation of biologically active leukotrienes, which can be formed through either intracellular or transcellular biosynthesis. Previously, epithelial fatty acid binding protein (E-FABP) present in RBL-1 cells was shown to increase the half-life of LTA(4) to approximately 20 min at 4 degrees C. Five FABPs (adipocyte FABP, intestinal FABP, E-FABP, heart/muscle FABP, and liver FABP) have now been examined and also found to increase the half-life of LTA(4) at 4 degrees C to approximately 20 min with protein present. Stabilization of LTA(4) was examined when arachidonic acid was present to compete with LTA(4) for the binding site on E-FABP. Arachidonate has an apparent higher affinity for E-FABP than LTA(4) and was able to completely block stabilization of the latter. When E-FABP is not saturated with arachidonate, FABP can still stabilize LTA(4). Several lipoxygenase products, including 5-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid, 5,6-dihydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid, and leukotriene B(4), were found to have no effect on the stability of LTA(4) induced by E-FABP even when present at concentrations 3-fold higher than LTA(4).
