Figure 1.
Mass spectrometric analysis of eicosanoids from extracted supernatants of human neutrophils primed with GM-CSF (1 nM, 30 min) and then stimulated with fMLP (100 nM, 10 min) at 37°C in (A and B) the absence and (C and D) the presence of 25 μM acrolein. The GM-CSF primed cells were treated with acrolein for 3 min before fMLP was added. Elution of the eicosanoids was detected in the negative ion mode using MRM transitions specific to each metabolite as described in the Methods. The Δ6-trans-LTB4 isomers peak includes both Δ6-trans-LTB4 and Δ6-trans-12-epi-LTB4.
