主 题:mitogen-activated protein kinases cysteinylleukotrienes 5-lipoxygenase inflammation
摘 要:5-Lipoxygenase(5-LOX) is a crucial enzyme catalyzing arachidonic acid to form cysteinyl leukotrienes(Cys LTs, including LTC4, LTD4, LTE4). Cys LTs are potent inflammatory mediators that mediate many pathophysiological responses by activating two distinct G-protein-coupled receptors(CysLT1R and CysLT2R). 5-LOX pathway is implicated in inflammatory pathological processes. Mitogenactivated protein kinases(MAPKs) are important signal transduction pathways of complex cellular *** MAPK families in mammalian cells include the P38 MAPK, extracellular signal-regulated kinases(ERK)and c-Jun amino N-terminal kinase(JNK). Increasing evidence has suggested that MAPKs signaling acts as key modulator in 5-LOX pathway-related pathological processes. It was reported that P38 MAPK and 5-LOX were dramatically activated to mediate neuronal injury in oxygen-glucose deprivation(OGD)-treated PC12 cells,which could be inhibited by P38 MAPK inhibitor SB203580 and nonselective 5-LOX inhibitor caffeic acid. In primary cultured rat astrocytes, OGD induced increased expression of CysLT2R and aquaporin 4, and ischemic astrocyte injury. Also, OGD increased phosphorylation of ERK and P38 MAPK. These astrocyte responses were attenuated by P38 MAPK inhibitor SB203580, ERK inhibitor U0126, CysLT2R antagonist Bay Cys LT2 and non-selective Cys LTR antagonist Bay u9773, but not by JNK inhibitor SP600125 and CysLT1R antagonist montelukast. These data demonstrate the roles of ERK and P38 MAPK signaling pathways in 5-LOX and CysLT2R-mediated ischemic-like injury in neuron-like PC12 cel s and rat astrocytes. Furthermore, CysLT1R and ERK signaling were found to be involved in regulation of LTD4-stimulated expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein and cell proliferation in astrocytes. ERK inhibitor PD98059 and CysLT1R antagonist montelukast, MK-571 abolished Cys LTs-induced astrocyte proliferation. Vascular endothelial cells play a pivotal role in maintaining brain homeostasis.
