Lipid mediators: lipoxin and aspirin-triggered 15-epi-lipoxins

Inflammation & Allergy Drug Targets
Mario Romano

Abstract

Lipoxins (LX) and their 15-epimers, aspirin triggered lipoxins (ATL) are emerging as major promoters of resolution of the inflammatory reaction. These eicosanoids, that carry a tetraene chromophore, derive from sequential lipoxygenase (LO) metabolism of arachidonic acid. Three principal routes of LX/ATL biosynthesis have been uncovered. One involves cooperation between 15- and 5-LO, one other requires interactions between 12- and 5-LO and a third is characterized by 5-LO transformation of intermediary products generated by aspirin-acetylated cyclooxygenase (COX)-2. Thus, in a large majority of cases the biosynthesis of these eicosanois requires transcellular metabolic exchange during cell-cell interactions. LX and ATL are rapidly metabolized and inactivated by monocyte 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (PGDH). A number of stable analogs that resist inactivation and retain biological activity has been synthesized. Accumulating evidence suggests that these analogs may have a potential therapeutic impact in a variety of diseases characterized by neutrophil-mediated persistent inflammation, such as reperfusion injury, gastro-intestinal and renal inflammatory disorders, periodontitis. Clinical evaluation of LXA4 and 15-epi-LXA4 ...Continue Reading

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

Atrophic Gastritis

Atrophic Gastritis is a process where gastric glandular cells are lost and replaced with firbous tissues, as a result of chronic inflammation. Learn more about Atrophic Gastritis here.

Anti-inflammatory Treatments

A drug or substance that reduces inflammation (redness, swelling, and pain) in the body. Anti-inflammatory agents block certain substances in the body that cause inflammation and swelling. Discover the latest research on anti-inflammatory treatments here

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
