Abstract

Antiflammin-2 (AF2) is a nonapeptide corresponding to the amino acid residues 246-254 of lipocortin-1 showing anti-inflammatory activity both in vitro and in vivo. The effect of AF2 on the thromboxane B(2) (TXB(2)) and histamine release from isolated and perfused guinea-pig lungs has been studied. AF-2 (10-100 nM) inhibited leukotriene C(4)- (LTC(4)) (3 ng) and antigen-induced (ovalbumin, 1 mg) TXB(2) release in normal and sensitized lungs, respectively. In contrast AF-2 (100 nM) did not modify TXB(2) release induced by histamine (5 mug) or bradykinin (5 mug) in normal lungs. Antigen-induced histamine release was not affected by 100 nM AF-2 infusion. When tested in chopped lung fragments AF-2 (0.1-25 muM) did not modify the release of histamine and TXB(2) induced by antigen (ovalbumin, 10 mug ml(-1)) or calcium ionophore A 23187 (1 muM). Our results show that the inhibitory effect of AF-2 on TXB(2) release is selective and depends on the stimulus applied. In this respect AF-2 mimics, at least in part, the actions of both glucocorticoids and lipocortin-1.
