Reactive oxygen intermediate-dependent NF-kappaB activation by interleukin-1beta requires 5-lipoxygenase or NADPH oxidase activity. (1/135)

We previously reported that the role of reactive oxygen intermediates (ROIs) in NF-kappaB activation by proinflammatory cytokines was cell specific. However, the sources for ROIs in various cell types are yet to be determined and might include 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) and NADPH oxidase. 5-LOX and 5-LOX activating protein (FLAP) are coexpressed in lymphoid cells but not in monocytic or epithelial cells. Stimulation of lymphoid cells with interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) led to ROI production and NF-kappaB activation, which could both be blocked by antioxidants or FLAP inhibitors, confirming that 5-LOX was the source of ROIs and was required for NF-kappaB activation in these cells. IL-1beta stimulation of epithelial cells did not generate any ROIs and NF-kappaB induction was not influenced by 5-LOX inhibitors. However, reintroduction of a functional 5-LOX system in these cells allowed ROI production and 5-LOX-dependent NF-kappaB activation. In monocytic cells, IL-1beta treatment led to a production of ROIs which is independent of the 5-LOX enzyme but requires the NADPH oxidase activity. This pathway involves the Rac1 and Cdc42 GTPases, two enzymes which are not required for NF-kappaB activation by IL-1beta in epithelial cells. In conclusion, three different cell-specific pathways lead to NF-kappaB activation by IL-1beta: a pathway dependent on ROI production by 5-LOX in lymphoid cells, an ROI- and 5-LOX-independent pathway in epithelial cells, and a pathway requiring ROI production by NADPH oxidase in monocytic cells.  (+info)

Relationship of arachidonic acid metabolizing enzyme expression in epithelial cancer cell lines to the growth effect of selective biochemical inhibitors. (2/135)

Arachidonic acid (AA) metabolizing enzymes are emerging as significant mediators of growth stimulation for epithelial cells. The relative contribution of the various family members of AA metabolizing enzymes to epithelial cancer cell growth is not known. To study this question, we first analyzed a series of epithelial cancer cells to establish the relative frequency of expression for the various enzymes. We analyzed the expression of five AA metabolizing enzymes as well as 5-lipoxygenase activating protein (FLAP) in a panel of human epithelial cancer cell lines (n = 20) using reverse transcription-PCR. From this analysis, we found that cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1), 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX), and FLAP were universally expressed in all cancer cell lines tested. For the remaining enzymes, the expression of COX-2, 12-LOX, and 15-LOX varied among cell lines, 60, 35, and 90%, respectively. Although the pattern of expression varied among the different cell types, all of the enzymes were expressed in all major cancer histologies. Using a panel of selective biochemical AA metabolizing enzyme inhibitors, we then evaluated the effect of these agents on cell lines with known expression status for the AA metabolizing enzymes. For the enzymes that were not universally expressed, growth inhibition by selective biochemical inhibitors did not closely correlate with the expression status of specific enzymes (P > 0.05). For the universally expressed enzymes, the LOX inhibitors were more potent growth inhibitors than the COX inhibitors. The frequent expression of the AA metabolizing enzymes suggests that AA metabolism pathway may be modulated in response to xenobiotic exposure during carcinogenesis. Although establishing a priori AA metabolizing enzyme status was not consistently informative about what AA metabolizing enzyme inhibition would be most growth inhibitory, the frequent inhibition of many epithelial cancers by these biochemical inhibitors opens a new avenue for cancer therapy and intervention in carcinogenesis.  (+info)

The 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein (FLAP) inhibitor, MK886, induces apoptosis independently of FLAP. (3/135)

The ability of various inhibitors of lipoxygenase (LOX) enzymes and 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein (FLAP) to induce apoptosis has implicated these pathways in the mechanism(s) of this form of cell death. Although FLAP plays an important role in 5-LOX activity, this protein is found at high levels in some cells lacking LOX, suggesting it might mediate other effects. Furthermore, the concentration of MK886, a FLAP inhibitor, required to induce apoptosis is approximately 100-fold more than that required to inhibit LOX, and this compound remains effective in cells lacking LOX. The present study examines the role of FLAP in MK886-induced apoptosis. MK886 induced apoptosis in WSU cells, a human chronic lymphocytic leukaemia cell line that lacks FLAP protein and mRNA, suggesting that this agent is acting independently of FLAP. This conclusion was further supported by the fact that a more specific FLAP inhibitor, MK591, induced only minimal apoptosis in FL5.12 cells, a murine prolymphoid cell line containing FLAP. The role of FLAP was examined more directly by decreasing its expression by more than 50% in FL5.12 cells treated with 10 microM of an antisense oligonucleotide for 48h. This change in FLAP was not accompanied by any increase in apoptosis. Furthermore, FLAP-depleted cells exhibited the same level of apoptosis 8 h after treatment with 10 microM MK886, as did control cells. The increased fluorescence seen in MK886-treated cells loaded with carboxydichlorofluorescein indicates that oxidative reactions are stimulated by this compound, possibly via the release of fatty acids from fatty acid-binding proteins and their subsequent oxidation.  (+info)

Expression of 5-lipoxygenase and 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein in human fetal membranes throughout pregnancy and at term. (4/135)

Lipoxygenase metabolites may be involved in human parturition. 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) catalyses the first steps in the synthesis of leukotrienes from arachidonic acid, and its activity is dependent on 5-LOX activating protein (FLAP). The expression of 5-LOX and FLAP were investigated in fetal membranes to determine whether there are changes with gestational age or at term with the onset of labour. No significant differences were found in the expression of 5-LOX or FLAP mRNA in the amnion at different gestational ages or at term. In the chorion-decidua, 5-LOX mRNA expression was significantly higher in the first trimester of pregnancy than in the second and third trimesters. At term, there was a significant increase in both 5-LOX mRNA and protein expression in the chorion-decidua in the time after labour, compared with the time before labour. The expression of FLAP mRNA was also significantly higher in the chorion-decidua in the first trimester of pregnancy compared with the third trimester, and at term in the time after labour compared with the time before labour. Expression of FLAP protein was not studied, as an antibody is not currently available. These results are consistent with a role for 5-LOX and FLAP in the control of parturition at term, and also suggest an involvement earlier in pregnancy.  (+info)

IL-5 increases expression of 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein and translocates 5-lipoxygenase to the nucleus in human blood eosinophils. (5/135)

Cysteinyl-leukotrienes are potent bronchoconstrictor mediators synthesized by the 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) pathway. Eosinophilopoietic cytokines such as IL-5 enhance cysteinyl-leukotriene synthesis in eosinophils in vitro, mimicking changes in eosinophils from asthmatic patients, but the mechanism is unknown. We hypothesized that IL-5 induces the expression of 5-LO and/or its activating protein FLAP in eosinophils, and that this might be modulated by anti-inflammatory corticosteroids. Compared with control cultures, IL-5 increased the proportion of normal blood eosinophils immunostaining for FLAP (65 +/- 4 vs 34 +/- 4%; p < 0.0001), enhanced immunoblot levels of FLAP by 51 +/- 14% (p = 0.03), and quadrupled ionophore-stimulated leukotriene C4 synthesis from 5.7 to 20.8 ng/106 cells (p < 0.02). IL-5 effects persisted for 24 h and were abolished by cycloheximide and actinomycin D. The proportion of FLAP+ eosinophils was also increased by dexamethasone (p < 0.0001). Neither IL-5 nor dexamethasone altered 5-LO expression, but IL-5 significantly increased 5-LO immunofluorescence localizing to eosinophil nuclei. Compared with normal subjects, allergic asthmatic patients had a greater proportion of circulating FLAP+ eosinophils (46 +/- 6 vs 27 +/- 3%; p < 0.03) and a smaller IL-5-induced increase in FLAP immunoreactivity (p < 0.05). Thus, IL-5 increases FLAP expression and translocates 5-LO to the nucleus in normal blood eosinophils in vitro. This is associated with an enhanced capacity for cysteinyl-leukotriene synthesis and mimics in vivo increases in FLAP expression in eosinophils from allergic asthmatics.  (+info)

Increased cyclooxygenase-2 and 5-lipoxygenase activating protein expression in peritoneal macrophages during ovalbumin immunization of mice and cytosolic phospholipase A(2) activation after antigen challenge. (6/135)

The present study investigates phenotypic and functional differentiation of peritoneal macrophages during ovalbumin-induced subcutaneous immunization of mice. For the first time we show that, in mouse peritoneal macrophages, ovalbumin immunization induces an increase in cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and 5-lipoxygenase activating protein (FLAP) expression whereas it inhibits cytosolic phospholipase A(2) (cPLA2) expression. The study of arachidonic acid (AA) metabolism in peritoneal macrophages from control (cPM) and ovalbumin-immunized (iPM) mice shows that the reduced cPLA2 expression is correlated to a reduced basal AA metabolism, but is not a limiting factor for the opsonized zymosan-, PMA-, or A23187-triggered AA metabolism. We also show that in vitro ovalbumin challenge induces, only in iPM, cPLA2 activation through phosphorylation of serine residues, via a mechanism involving MAP kinases, and through increased intracellular calcium concentrations, leading to eicosanoid production. In parallel, we report that, in peritoneal macrophages, ovalbumin immunization induces the expression of CD23, the low affinity receptor for IgEs known for its involvement in allergic diseases. Thus, the modified expression of the enzymes involved in AA metabolism and the difference of response of cPM and iPM toward the antigen are important elements to understand the underlying mechanisms of ovalbumin-induced allergic responses.  (+info)

Prolonged exposure to lipopolysaccharide inhibits macrophage 5-lipoxygenase metabolism via induction of nitric oxide synthesis. (7/135)

LPS from bacteria can result in the development of sepsis syndrome and acute lung injury. Although acute exposure to endotoxin primes leukocytes for enhanced synthesis of leukotrienes (LT), little is known about the effect of chronic exposure. Therefore, we determined the effect of prolonged LPS treatment on 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) metabolism of arachidonic acid in alveolar macrophages (AM) and in peripheral blood monocytes. Pretreatment of AM with LPS caused time- and dose-dependent suppression of LT synthetic capacity. LPS pretreatment failed to inhibit arachidonic acid (AA) release. The fact that LPS inhibited LT synthesis from endogenous AA more than from exogenous AA suggested an effect on 5-LO-activating protein (FLAP). In addition, an inhibitory effect of LPS treatment on AM 5-LO activity was suggested by cell-free 5-LO enzyme assay. No effect on the expression of either 5-LO or FLAP proteins was observed. New protein synthesis was necessary for LPS-induced reduction of 5-LO metabolism in AM, and immunoblotting demonstrated marked induction of NO synthase (NOS). Inhibition by LPS was reproduced by an NO donor and was abrogated by inhibitors of constitutive and inducible NOS. Compared with AM, peripheral blood monocytes exhibited no suppression by LPS of 5-LO metabolism and no induction of inducible NOS. We conclude that prolonged exposure to LPS impairs AM 5-LO metabolism by NO-mediated suppression of both 5-LO and FLAP function. Because LT contribute to antimicrobial defense, this down-regulation of 5-LO metabolism may contribute to the increased susceptibility to pneumonia in patients following sepsis.  (+info)

In situ amplification of 5-lipoxygenase and 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein in allergic airway inflammation and inhibition by leukotriene blockade. (8/135)

Leukotrienes are important mediators of the eosinophilic influx and mucus hypersecretion in the lungs in a murine model of asthma. We used in situ PCR in this model of human asthma to detect lung mRNA for 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) and 5-LO-activating protein (FLAP), key proteins necessary for leukotriene synthesis. Lung tissue was obtained on day 28 from mice treated with i.p. (days 0 and 14) and intranasal (days 14, 25, 26, and 27) OVA or saline. After fixation, the tissue sections underwent protease- and RNase-free DNase digestion, before in situ RT-PCR using target-specific cDNA amplification. 5-LO and FLAP-specific mRNA was visualized by a digoxigenin detection system, and positive cells were analyzed by morphometry. 5-LO and FLAP-specific mRNA and protein were associated primarily with eosinophils and alveolar macrophages in the airways and pulmonary blood vessels in OVA-sensitized/challenged mice. 5-LO and FLAP protein expression increased on a per-cell basis in alveolar macrophages of OVA-treated mice compared with saline controls. Pulmonary blood vessel endothelial cells were also positive for 5-LO, FLAP mRNA, and protein. 5-LO inhibition significantly decreased 5-LO and FLAP-specific mRNA and protein expression in the lung inflammatory cells and endothelial cells. These studies demonstrate a marked increase in key 5-LO pathway proteins in the allergic lung inflammatory response and an important immunomodulatory effect of leukotriene blockade to decrease 5-LO and FLAP gene expression.  (+info)

To compare the roles of soluble CLP and membrane-bound FLAP in LT biosynthesis, we knocked down these proteins in the human monocytic cell line MM6. 5LO activity was determined in cells stimulated by four different protocols. Our results indicate that the presence of CLP in MM6 cells increased 5LO activity in all conditions (Figs. 1 and 2 and Table S1). Thus, CLP can support 5LO activity in intact cells as well, complementing previous in vitro data (12, 17). CLP is not absolutely crucial, however; some 5LO activity remained in all incubations of CLP knockdown cells. FLAP knockdown had only minor effects in incubations including exogenous AA, but 5LO product formation from endogenous substrate was greatly reduced. This finding is in accordance with the ideas that FLAP has a role in providing endogenous substrate to 5LO at the nuclear membrane (6) and that exogenous AA can be converted by 5LO in a FLAP-independent manner.. When cells are stimulated to produce LTs, 5LO typically translocates to the ...

Initial observations in the late 1980s indicated that an important regulatory step in the biosynthesis of LT in human PMN involves the translocation of 5-LO from the cytosol to a membrane compartment (Rouzer et al., 1985; Rouzer and Samuelsson, 1987). Ca2+ mobilization is required for 5-LO translocation. However, Ca2+ mobilization alone is not sufficient because little 5-LO translocation occurs when unprimed cells are stimulated with agonists such as fMLP or PAF, which induce the mobilization of Ca2+ from intracellular stores and subsequent Ca2+ influx. Since those initial reports, it has been established that 5-LO activation in stimulated human PMN involves the Ca2+-dependent movement of 5-LO from the cytosol to the nuclear envelope in a mechanism not yet completely understood but implicating the membrane protein FLAP (Dixon et al., 1990; Reid et al., 1990). Indeed, it has been clearly established by using FLAP antagonists that FLAP plays an essential role in the translocation of 5-LO in intact ...

Leukotrienes (LT) are a group of proinflammatory lipid mediators that are implicated in the pathogenesis and progression of atherosclerosis. Here we report that mRNA levels for the three key proteins in LTB4 biosynthesis, namely 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO), 5-LO-activating protein (FLAP), and LTA4 hydrolase (LTA4H), are significantly increased in human atherosclerotic plaque (n = 72) as compared with healthy controls (n = 6). Neither LTC4 synthase nor any of the LT receptors exhibits significantly increased mRNA levels. Immunohistochemical staining revealed abundant expression of 5-LO, FLAP, and LTA4H protein, colocalizing in macrophages of intimal lesions. Human lesion tissue converts arachidonic acid into significant amounts of LTB4, and a selective, tight-binding LTA4H inhibitor can block this activity. Furthermore, expression of 5-LO and LTA4H, but not FLAP, is increased in patients with recent or ongoing symptoms of plaque instability, and medication with warfarin correlates with increased levels ...
Iceland provides a fertile breeding-ground for genetic studies, as the population is relatively isolated making it easy to find genes involved in specific syndromes. The researchers pinned down FLAP by looking for people who had suffered heart disease or stroke. By comparing 700 heart patients with their unaffected relatives they found a region of DNA on chromosome 13 which was common to many of the patients. A further 1600 patients helped them to narrow down the region, pinpointing the FLAP gene.
Inherited mutations in the E6AP gene that block its activity result in Angelmans syndrome, a developmental condition characterized by severe mental retardation in children because the brain is unable to learn by adapting its nerve connections to outside stimuli. Other mutations that cause a duplication of the E6AP gene and increased activity are thought to cause some forms of inherited Autism Spectrum Disorder. In other tissues, the genetic program of the Human Papillomavirus produces an E6 viral protein following infection that hijacks the E6AP enzyme to target a different set of cells, not only ensuring the ability of the virus to replicate but causing uncontrolled growth resulting in benign skin tags, warts, or cervical cancer, depending on the site of infection. The Hepatitis C virus exploits a similar strategy to ensure its replication in the liver by expressing a different protein that redirects the function of E6AP, resulting in cirrhosis and liver cancer in the chronically infected ...

In the mid-1960s, Winberg Chai, a young academic and the son of Chinese immigrants, married an Irish-American artist. In Hapa Girl (hapa is Hawaiian for mixed) their daughter tells the story of this loving family as they moved from Southern California to New York to a South Dakota farm by the 1980s. In their new Midwestern home, the family finds itself the object of unwelcome attention, which swiftly escalates to violence. The Chais are suddenly socially isolated and barely able to cope with the tension that arises from daily incidents of racial animosity, including random acts of cruelty. May-lee Chais memoir ends in China, where she arrives just in time to witness a riot and demonstrations. Here she realizes that the rural Americans fears of change, of economic uncertainty, of racial anxiety, of the unknowable future compared to the known past were the same as Chinas. And I realized finally that it had not been my fault.. ...

The trial achieved its primary efficacy endpoint of demonstrating a reduction in one or more of these key biomarkers. The results showed that at all dose levels DG031 suppressed production of leukotriene B4 (LTB4), the product of the branch of the leukotriene pathway that deCODEs genetics research has linked to increased risk of heart attack. At the highest dose level, DG031 reduced levels of myeloperoxidase (MPO), higher levels of which have been linked to increased risk of heart attack. These effects were dose-dependent. The study also demonstrated that at the highest dose, DG031 lowered levels of sICAM-I, a critical molecule in the activation of inflammatory cells and cell infiltration. There were no serious drug-related adverse events reported in this study, and DG031 was found to be well tolerated.. Our population genetics work pointed us to the role of the leukotriene pathway and LTB4 in driving the inflammatory process underlying heart attack. DG031 is designed to inhibit the FLAP, or ...

Recent human genetic studies suggest that allelic variants of leukotriene pathway genes influence the risk of clinical and subclinical atherosclerosis. We sequenced the promoter, exonic, and splice site regions of ALOX5 and ALOX5AP and then genotyped 7 SNPs in ALOX5 and 6 SNPs in ALOX5AP in 1,552 cases with clinically significant coronary artery disease (CAD) and 1,583 controls from Kaiser Permanente including a subset of participants of the coronary artery risk development in young adults study. A nominally significant association was detected between a promoter SNP in ALOX5 (rs12762303) and CAD in our subset of white/European subjects (adjusted odds ratio per minor allele, log-additive model, 1.32; P = 0.002). In this race/ethnic group, rs12762303 has a minor allele frequency of 15% and is tightly linked to variation at the SP1 variable tandem repeat promoter polymorphism. However, the association between CAD and rs12762303 could not be reproduced in the atherosclerosis risk in communities ...

Leukotrienes, the biologically active metabolites of arachidonic acid, have been implicated in a variety of inflammatory responses, including asthma, arthritis and psoriasis. Recently a compound, MK-886, has been described that blocks the synthesis of leukotrienes in intact activated leukocytes, but has little or no effect on enzymes involved in leukotriene synthesis, including 5-lipoxygenase, in cell-free systems. A membrane protein with a high affinity for MK-886 and possibly representing the cellular target for MK-886 has been isolated from rat and human leukocytes. Here, we report the isolation of a complementary DNA clone encoding the MK-886-binding protein. We also demonstrate that the expression of both the MK-886-binding protein and 5-lipoxygenase is necessary for leukotriene synthesis in intact cells. Because the MK-886-binding protein seems to play a part in activating this enzyme in cells, it is termed the five-lipoxygenase activating protein (FLAP ...
15-Lipoxygenase-2 (ALOX15B), an oxidoreductase in the metabolism of arachidonic acid, is a functional tumor suppressor whose expression is reduced in a variety of human cancers. To determine the roles of ALOX15B in carcinogenesis, we generated transgenic mice with ALOX8, the murine homolog of ALOX15B, knocked out. ALOX8 expression at mRNA level was abolished in homozygous knockout mice and reduced to half of wild type in heterozygous knockout mice. Its observed that homozygous female ALOX8 knockout mice are infertile but male ALOX8 knockout mice are fertile. Increased incidence of tumor as uni or multimass was found in the lung, prostate and in the mesentery region of homozygous and heterozygous ALOX8 knockout mice, when compared with little mate wild type mice. Histological evaluations showed an increase in secondary tumors and inflammation in different tissues like lung and large intestine in mice with ALOX8 knocked out. The transgenic mice could be a good model to study the role of ...
To study the association between pulmonary function and the SNPs in the ALOX5AP gene in a healthy and general population, the predicted values for forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1; FEV1_%PRED) and the proportion of the FVC exhaled in the first second (FEV1/FVC; FEV1/FVC_PRED) in the KARE database were used.

Title: Imbalance Between Leukotriene Synthesis and Catabolism Contributes to the Pathogenesis of Allergic Diseases. VOLUME: 3 ISSUE: 4. Author(s): Masafumi Zaitsu. Affiliation:Department of Pediatrics,Faculty of Medicine, Saga University, 5-1-1 Nabeshima, Saga City 849-8501, Saga, Japan.. Keywords:Dipeptidases, gamma-glutamyl leukotrienase, stem cell factor, lipopolysaccharide, 5-lipoxygenase. Abstract: Recently, there has been great progress in elucidating the biochemistry of the arachidonic acid (AA) metabolism. The abnormal production of leukotrienes (LTs), due to the unbalanced-regulation of synthesizing and catabolizing enzymes, is probably induced by many bioactive substances, including Th2 cell-derived cytokines. Imbalances in these processes may play an important role in allergic reactions and other inflammatory diseases, thus making them potentially prime therapeutic targets for these diseases. Further studies on the regulation of LT-synthesis and catabolism are therefore required to ...
We investigated the interaction of human PMNs with human vascular tissue to determine the extent to which cellular activation state was involved in PMN-induced vascular responsiveness. We determined that both unactivated and activated PMNs induced a cell number-dependent vasocontraction in HUV, the nature of which was dependent on the activation state of the cells. The vasoconstrictor response observed for unactivated PMNs was endothelium-independent, was due to soluble factor(s) in the cell supernatant and was partially blocked by an inhibitor of leukotriene biosynthesis. For the activated PMNs, the response was endothelium-dependent, was not due to a soluble factor and was linearly related to their activation state.. One of the most interesting findings of this study was that both unactivated and activated PMNs contracted HUV but that their respective responses were quite different in nature. Treatment of HUV with unactivated PMNs had no significant effect on the response to serotonin, which ...

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the redox state of a cell have been implicated in several signal transduction cascades including those that regulate cell proliferation. Specifically, signaling by several growth factors, including epidermal growth factor (EGF), produces a transient increase in ROS. One effect of increases in ROS is the inactivation of tyrosine phosphatases. Pani et al. found that the redox status of cells in culture was different in sparse and dense cultures (sparse cultures have more ROS than dense cultures) and that this difference correlated with whether the cells exhibited contact inhibition. Dense cultures had lower levels of the active [guanosine triphosphate (GTP)-bound] form of the small GTPase Rac-1. Treatment of sparse cultures with drugs to inhibit leukotriene biosynthesis decreased the levels of ROS to those measured in dense cultures, suggesting that Rac-1 may stimulate leukotriene biosynthesis as a mechanism to increase ROS in sparsely cultured cells. The authors ...

Human 12/15-lipoxygenase (ALOX15) catalyzes the oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids and has been implicated in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. We previously reported that a common haplotype of the ALOX15 gene is associated with higher prevalence of coronary artery calcification in a cohort of middle-aged African-Americans. This haplotype was uniquely tagged by a promoter variant (rs2255888). We carried out an in vitro characterization of this promoter variant to further investigate regulatory mechanisms of the ALOX15 gene. We evaluated the activity of ALOX15 variant A-carrying and wild type G-carrying promoter haplotypes using a luciferase assay. We demonstrated a 65% higher activity of the A-carrying promoter haplotype as compared to the G-carrying promoter haplotype. Using mass-spectrometry and electrophoretic mobility shift assay we showed that vimentin, a structural protein, specifically binds to both A-carrying and G-carrying promoter haplotypes in vitro. However, the A ...
In molecular biology the PLAT domain is a protein domain that is found in a variety of membrane or lipid associated proteins. It is called the PLAT (Polycystin-1, Lipoxygenase, Alpha-Toxin) domain or LH2 (Lipoxygenase homology) domain. The known structure of pancreatic lipase shows this domain binds to procolipase Pfam PF01114, which mediates membrane association. This domain is found in a variety of membrane or lipid associated proteins. It forms a beta-sandwich composed of two β-sheets of four β-strands each.

This report by Pace and colleagues provides new insights into the influence of sex (and sex hormones) on leukotriene synthesis and its inhibition. While the potential of these results to be of clinical relevance is exciting, additional preclinical and clinical studies are needed to define the true clinical impact, which is likely to be complex. For example, Pace et al. focus primarily on inflammatory processes and leukocytes that predominantly generate LTB4. Although a number of inflammatory diseases, including scleroderma lung disease (13), inflammatory bowel disease (6), sickle cell disease (14), and cardiovascular disease (15), are reported to be associated with increased LTB4 levels, there are few, if any, examples in which treatment of these diseases with leukotriene synthesis inhibitors has shown benefit. The diseases in which there is the most information relevant to leukotriene biology are asthma, AERD, and allergic rhinitis, to which cysteinyl leukotrienes are known to contribute. For ...

Jumla ya sehemu za mwili zinazohusika na upumuo huitwa mfumo wa upumuaji. Kwa wanyama wenye mapafu hewa inavutwa ndani kupitia mdomo au pua. Hewa hii huitwa pumzi. Kazi hii inatekelezwa kwa njia ya kukaza au kulegea kwa musuli za kiwambo cha tumboni kinachotenganisha tumbo na nafasi ya mapafu. Mabadiliko haya yanabadilisha nafasi ya mapafu na shindikzo ndano yao na kusababisha kuvutwa au kusukumwa kwa hewa. Kwa samaki na wanyama wengine wanaoishi chini ya maji wenye matamvua maji yenye hewa ndani yake inapitishwa kwenye majani ya ngozi zinazofanya matamwua na hewa inapokelewa na vyombo vya damu kupitia ngozi ya matamvua ambayo ni nyembamba sana. Kuna pia wadudu kadhaa kwenye nchi kavu wenye matamvua. Wadudu huwa na mabomba membamba (ing. trachea) yanayoelekea ndani ya miili yao na hewa inaingia hapa; ngozi nyembamba ndani ya mwili inaruhusu kuingia kwa oksijeni mwilini. Wanyama wadogo sana wanatosheleka kupokea oksijeni kupitia ngozi pekee kwa hiyo hawana mapafu wala trachea. Wote wanaotumia ...
