Lipoxygenase, Enzyme Purification, Hydrophobic Chromatography Lipoxygenase was purified from rat liver cytosolic fraction by a method involving two successive chromatographic steps on Sephacryl S-200 and Phenyl Sepharose CL-4B. The enzyme has a molecular weight of 96 Kdal and it seems to be composed of two identical subunits. Chromatofocusing of the enzyme revealed a single band of activity at ...
Leukotrienes are inflammatory mediators that actively participate in the inflammatory response and host defense against pathogens. However, leukotrienes also participate in chronic inflammatory diseases. 5-lipoxygenase is a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of leukotrienes and is thus a validated therapeutic target. As of today, zileuton remains the only clinically approved 5-lipoxygenase inhibito...
Leukotrienes are lipid messenger molecules that are secreted by leukocytes to orchestrate a rapid and prolonged immune response. The enzyme 5-lipoxygenase catalyzes the rate-limiting first two steps in the synthesis of leukotrienes from arachidonic acid. Although it has long been known that 5-lipoxygenase moves from the cytoplasm to a membrane following activation, it has only recently been rec...
The insulin release enhancer, 10-hydroxy-11,12-trans-epoxy-5(Z),8(Z),14(Z)-icosatrienoic acid (hepoxilin B3), is a 12-lipoxygenase metabolite of arachidonic acid that has been found in various mammalian tissues. Although lipoxygenase pathways are well documented in terrestrial plants, this lipoxygenase product has never been isolated from the plant kingdom. Herein, we report the first isolation...
Crude wild pear lipoxygenase (LOX) from ripe Kurdistan wild pears was used in this study. Extracted crude LOX was assayed spectrophotometrically for raw, ripe wild pear lipoxygenase and after 7-day storage. The effects of different buffers and pHs, substrate preparations, temperature, inhibitors and metal ions on LOX activity were evaluated at three conditions. The enzyme was most active with H...
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Arachidonic acid metabolism actively participates in the initiation, climaxing, and resolution phases of inflammation, and its close connection with inflammatory bowel diseases has been only recently discovered. We aimed to clarify the role of different arachidonic pathways and the interrelationships between them in Crohn's disease. METHODS Seventeen specimens of Crohn's d...
This study sought to clarify the effects of 15-lipoxygenase/15-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid in angiogenesis and neurological functional recovery after cerebral ischaemic stroke in mice. In vivo, we performed behavioural tests to determine functional recovery after stroke. Double immunofluorescence staining of CD31 and Ki67/PCNA was performed to evaluate the effects of 15-lipoxygenase/15-hydroxy...
The concentration-dependent effects of a series of lipoxygenase inhibitors and antioxidants on the macrophage-mediated oxidative modification of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) were measured. Their influence on macrophage 5-lipoxygenase pathway activity was also studied over the same concentration range. No correlation between inhibition of 5-lipoxygenase and of macrophage-mediated oxidation of L...
The human colon synthetises several prostanoids which may have a role in inflammatory bowel diseases. As lipoxygenase products of arachidonate metabolism have been implicated in inflammatory processes, we have now investigated the formation of both lipoxygenase and cyclo-oxygenase metabolites from [14C]-arachidonic acid [(14C]-AA) by human colonic tissue. Homogenates of human colonic mucosa wer...
Signal transduction pathways shared by different autocrine growth factors may provide an efficient approach to accomplish clinically significant control of lung cancer growth. In this study, we demonstrate that two autocrine growth factors activate 5-lipoxygenase action of the arachidonic acid metabolic pathway in lung cancer cell lines. Both growth factors increased the production of 5(S)-hydr...
