1 The effects of interferon (IFN) on the arachidonate metabolism and physiological functions of cultured endothelial cells and blood platelets have been examined. Arachidonic Acid interferon alpha 1 Homo sapiens
2 Several observations indicate that IFN stimulates PGI2 synthesis at the level of the enzymes phospholipase A2 and cyclooxygenase: (a) PGI2 production was dependent upon the supply of exogenous arachidonic acid or the liberation of endogenous cellular arachidonate by ionophore A23187, but was not observed when IFN-treated cells were exposed to the endoperoxide prostaglandin H2. Arachidonic Acid interferon alpha 1 Homo sapiens
