Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Cell Biol Lipids 2023; 1868:159360. [PMID: 37336389 PMCID: PMC10528070 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbalip.2023.159360] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/24/2023] [Revised: 06/02/2023] [Accepted: 06/11/2023] [Indexed: 06/21/2023]
Abstract
ω-Alkynyl-fatty acids can be used as probes for covalent binding to intracellular macromolecules. To inform future in vivo studies, we determined the rates of reaction of ω-alkynyl-labeled linoleate with recombinant enzymes of the skin 12R-lipoxygenase (12R-LOX) pathway involved in epidermal barrier formation (12R-LOX, epidermal lipoxygenase-3 (eLOX3), and SDR9C7). We also examined the reactivity of ω-alkynyl-arachidonic acid with representative lipoxygenase enzymes employing either "carboxyl end-first" substrate binding (5S-LOX) or "tail-first" (platelet-type 12S-LOX). ω-Alkynyl-linoleic acid was oxygenated by 12R-LOX at 62 ± 9 % of the rate compared to linoleic acid, the alkynyl-9R-HPODE product was isomerized by eLOX3 at only 43 ± 1 % of the natural substrate, whereas its epoxy alcohol product was converted to epoxy ketone linoleic by an NADH-dependent dehydrogenase (SDR9C7) with 91 ± 1 % efficiency. The results suggest the optimal approach will be application of the 12R-LOX/eLOX3-derived epoxyalcohol, which should be most efficiently incorporated into the pathway and allow subsequent analysis of covalent binding to epidermal proteins. Regarding the orientation of substrate binding in LOX catalysis, our results and previous reports suggest the ω-alkynyl group has a stronger inhibitory effect on tail-first binding, as might be expected. Beyond slowing the reaction, however, we found that the tail-first binding and transformation of ω-alkynyl-arachidonic acid by platelet-type 12S-LOX results in almost complete enzyme inactivation, possibly due to reactive intermediates blocking the enzyme active site. Overall, the results reinforce the conclusion that ω-alkynyl-fatty acids are suitable for selected applications after appropriate reactivity is established.

Structural and functional evaluation mammalian and plant lipoxygenases upon association with nanodics as membrane mimetics. Biophys Chem 2022; 288:106855. [PMID: 35849958 DOI: 10.1016/j.bpc.2022.106855] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2022] [Revised: 06/27/2022] [Accepted: 07/04/2022] [Indexed: 11/02/2022]
Abstract
Lipoxygenases (LOX) are a family lipid oxygenating enzymes that can generate bioactive lipids of clinical relevance from polyunsaturated fatty acids. Most LOXs display a Ca2+-dependent association with membranes for their activity. Nanodiscs (ND) are stable self-assembled discoidal fragments of lipid bilayers that can mimic the plasma membrane. In this study, we evaluated the association of mammalian 15-LOXs (ALOX15 and ALOX15B) and soybean LOX-1 with NDs (LOX-ND), their enzymatic activities and inhibition. Mammalian LOXs associated with NDs showed better retention of enzymatic function compared to soybean LOX-1. Treatment of both LOX-NDs and free enzymes with the pan-LOX inhibitor nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA) showed an approximately 5-fold more effective inhibition of the enzymes associated with NDs compared to the free form. NDs are easy to generate membrane mimics that can be used as an effective tool to determine enzymatic function and inhibition of membrane associated proteins.

Abstract
Formation of specialized pro-resolving lipid mediators (SPMs) such as lipoxins or resolvins usually involves arachidonic acid 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO, ALOX5) and different types of arachidonic acid 12- and 15-lipoxygenating paralogues (15-LO1, ALOX15; 15-LO2, ALOX15B; 12-LO, ALOX12). Typically, SPMs are thought to be formed via consecutive steps of oxidation of polyenoic fatty acids such as arachidonic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid or docosahexaenoic acid. One hallmark of SPM formation is that reported levels of these lipid mediators are much lower than typical pro-inflammatory mediators including the monohydroxylated fatty acid derivatives (e.g., 5-HETE), leukotrienes or certain cyclooxygenase-derived prostaglandins. Thus, reliable detection and quantification of these metabolites is challenging. This paper is aimed at critically evaluating i) the proposed biosynthetic pathways of SPM formation, ii) the current knowledge on SPM receptors and their signaling cascades and iii) the analytical methods used to quantify these pro-resolving mediators in the context of their instability and their low concentrations. Based on current literature it can be concluded that i) there is at most, a low biosynthetic capacity for SPMs in human leukocytes. ii) The identity and the signaling of the proposed G-protein-coupled SPM receptors have not been supported by studies in knock-out mice and remain to be validated. iii) In humans, SPM levels were neither related to dietary supplementation with their ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid precursors nor were they formed during the resolution phase of an evoked inflammatory response. iv) The reported low SPM levels cannot be reliably quantified by means of the most commonly reported methodology. Overall, these questions regarding formation, signaling and occurrence of SPMs challenge their role as endogenous mediators of the resolution of inflammation.

Tuft-Cell-Derived Leukotrienes Drive Rapid Anti-helminth Immunity in the Small Intestine but Are Dispensable for Anti-protist Immunity. Immunity 2020; 52:528-541.e7.

Abstract
Helminths, allergens, and certain protists induce type 2 immune responses, but the underlying mechanisms of immune activation remain poorly understood. In the small intestine, chemosensing by epithelial tuft cells results in the activation of group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s), which subsequently drive increased tuft cell frequency. This feedforward circuit is essential for intestinal remodeling and helminth clearance. ILC2 activation requires tuft-cell-derived interleukin-25 (IL-25), but whether additional signals regulate the circuit is unclear. Here, we show that tuft cells secrete cysteinyl leukotrienes (cysLTs) to rapidly activate type 2 immunity following chemosensing of helminth infection. CysLTs cooperate with IL-25 to activate ILC2s, and tuft-cell-specific ablation of leukotriene synthesis attenuates type 2 immunity and delays helminth clearance. Conversely, cysLTs are dispensable for the tuft cell response induced by intestinal protists. Our findings identify an additional tuft cell effector function and suggest context-specific regulation of tuft-ILC2 circuits within the small intestine.

Abstract
Monotopic proteins exert their function when attached to a membrane surface, and such interactions depend on the specific lipid composition and on the availability of enough area to perform the function. Nanodiscs are used to provide a membrane surface of controlled size and lipid content. In the absence of bound extrinsic proteins, sodium phosphotungstate-stained nanodiscs appear as stacks of coins when viewed from the side by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). This protocol is therefore designed to intentionally promote stacking; consequently, the prevention of stacking can be interpreted as the binding of the membrane-binding protein to the nanodisc. In a further step, the TEM images of the protein-nanodisc complexes can be processed with standard single-particle methods to yield low-resolution structures as a basis for higher resolution cryoEM work. Furthermore, the nanodiscs provide samples suitable for either TEM or non-denaturing gel electrophoresis. To illustrate the method, Ca2+-induced binding of 5-lipoxygenase on nanodiscs is presented.

Abstract
An important step in the production of inflammatory mediators of the leukotriene family is the Ca2+ mediated recruitment of 5 Lipoxygenase (5LO) to nuclear membranes. To study this reaction in vitro, the natural membrane mimicking environment of nanodiscs was used. Nanodiscs with 10.5 nm inner diameter were made with the lipid POPC and membrane scaffolding protein MSP1E3D1. Monomeric and dimeric 5LO were investigated. Monomeric 5LO mixed with Ca2+ and nanodiscs are shown to form stable complexes that 1) produce the expected leukotriene products from arachidonic acid and 2) can be, for the first time, visualised by native gel electrophoresis and negative stain transmission electron microscopy and 3) show a highest ratio of two 5LO per nanodisc. We interpret this as one 5LO on each side of the disc. The dimer of 5LO is visualised by negative stain transmission electron microscopy and is shown to not bind to nanodiscs. This study shows the advantages of nanodiscs to obtain basic structural information as well as functional information of a complex between a monotopic membrane protein and the membrane.

Abstract
In resident mouse peritoneal macrophages, group IVA cytosolic phospholipase A(2) (cPLA(2)alpha) mediates arachidonic acid (AA) release and eicosanoid production in response to diverse agonists such as A23187, phorbol myristate acetate, zymosan, and the enterotoxin, okadaic acid (OA). cPLA(2)alpha is regulated by phosphorylation and by calcium that binds to the C2 domain and induces translocation from the cytosol to membranes. In contrast, OA activates cPLA(2)alpha-induced AA release and translocation to the Golgi in macrophages without an apparent increase in calcium. Inhibitors of heat shock protein 90 (hsp90), geldanamycin, and herbimycin blocked AA release in response to OA but not to A23187, PMA, or zymosan. OA, but not the other agonists, induced activation of a cytosolic serine/threonine 54-kDa kinase (p54), which phosphorylated cPLA(2)alpha in in-gel kinase assays and was associated with cPLA(2)alpha in immunoprecipitates. Activation of the p54 kinase was inhibited by geldanamycin. The kinase coimmunoprecipitated with hsp90 in unstimulated macrophages, and OA induced its loss from hsp90, concomitant with its association with cPLA(2)alpha. The results demonstrate a role for hsp90 in regulating cPLA(2)alpha-mediated AA release that involves association of a p54 kinase with cPLA(2)alpha upon OA stimulation.

Abstract
5-Lipoxygenase (5-LO) is the key enzyme in the biosynthesis of leukotrienes (LTs), biological mediators of host defense reactions and of inflammatory diseases. While the role of membrane binding in the regulation of 5-LO activity is well established, the effects of lipids on cellular activity when added to the medium has not been characterized. Here, we show such a novel function of the most abundant sulfated sterol in human blood, cholesterol sulfate (CS), to suppress LT production in human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNL) and Mono Mac6 cells. We synthesized another anionic lipid, cholesterol phosphate, which demonstrated a similar capacity in suppression of LT synthesis in PMNL. Cholesteryl acetate was without effect. Cholesterol increased the effect of CS on 5-LO product synthesis. CS and cholesterol also inhibited arachidonic acid (AA) release from PMNL. Addition of exogenous AA increased the threshold concentration of CS required to inhibit LT synthesis. The effect of cholesterol and its anionic derivatives can arise from remodeling of the cell membrane, which interferes with 5-LO activation. The fact that cellular LT production is regulated by sulfated cholesterol highlights a possible regulatory role of sulfotransferases/sulfatases in 5-LO product synthesis.

Abstract
5-Lipoxygenase (5-LO) catalysis is positively regulated by Ca2+ ions and phospholipids that both act via the N-terminal C2-like domain of 5-LO. Previously, we have shown that 1-oleoyl-2-acetylglycerol (OAG) functions as an agonist for human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNL) in stimulating 5-LO product formation. Here we have demonstrated that OAG directly stimulates 5-LO catalysis in vitro. In the absence of Ca2+ (chelated using EDTA), OAG strongly and concentration-dependently stimulated crude 5-LO in 100,000 x g supernatants as well as purified 5-LO enzyme from PMNL. Also, the monoglyceride 1-O-oleyl-rac-glycerol and 1,2-dioctanoyl-sn-glycerol were effective, whereas various phospholipids did not stimulate 5-LO. However, in the presence of Ca2+, OAG caused no stimulation of 5-LO. Also, phospholipids or cellular membranes abolished the effects of OAG. As found previously for Ca2+, OAG renders 5-LO activity resistant against inhibition by glutathione peroxidase activity, and this effect of OAG is reversed by phospholipids. Intriguingly, a 5-LO mutant lacking tryptophan residues (Trp-13, -75, and -102) important for the binding of the 5-LO C2-like domain to phospholipids was not stimulated by OAG. We conclude that OAG directly stimulates 5-LO by acting at a phospholipid binding site located within the C2-like domain.

Abstract
Recently, we reported that in crude enzyme preparations, a monocyte-derived soluble protein (M-DSP) renders 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) activity Ca2+-dependent. Here we provide evidence that this M-DSP is glutathione peroxidase (GPx)-1. Thus, the inhibitory effect of the M-DSP on 5-LO could be overcome by the GPx-1 inhibitor mercaptosuccinate and by the broad spectrum GPx inhibitor iodoacetate, as well as by addition of 13(S)-hydroperoxy-9Z,11E-octadecadienoic acid (13(S)-HPODE). Also, the chromatographic characteristics and the estimated molecular mass (80-100 kDa) of the M-DSP fit to GPx-1 (87 kDa), and GPx-1, isolated from bovine erythrocytes, mimicked the effects of the M-DSP. Intriguingly, only a trace amount of thiol (10 micro M GSH) was required for reduction of 5-LO activity by GPx-1 or the M-DSP. Moreover, the requirement of Ca2+ allowing 5-LO product synthesis in various leukocytes correlated with the respective GPx-1 activities. Mutation of the Ca2+ binding sites within the C2-like domain of 5-LO resulted in strong reduction of 5-LO activity by M-DSP and GPx-1, also in the presence of Ca2+. In summary, our data suggest that interaction of Ca2+ at the C2-like domain of 5-LO protects the enzyme against the effect of GPx-1. Apparently, in the presence of Ca2+, a low lipid hydroperoxide level is sufficient for 5-LO activation.

Abstract
In this article, it has been attempted to review data primarily on the activation of human 5-lipoxygenase, in vitro and in the cell. First, structural properties and enzyme activities are described. This is followed by the activating factors: Ca2+, membranes, ATP, and lipid hydroperoxide. Also, studies on phosphorylation of 5-lipoxygenase, interaction with other proteins, and the intracellullar mobility of 5-lipoxygenase, are reviewed.

Abstract
5-Lipoxygenase (5-LO) is a Ca2+-stimulated enzyme that initializes the formation of proinflammatory leukotrienes from arachidonic acid (AA). In this report, we demonstrate that a soluble protein of the monocytic cell line Mono Mac 6 confers 5-LO activity Ca2+-dependent in vitro. Thus, in broken cell preparations of human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNL) and rat basophilic leukemia (RBL)-1 cells, 5-LO converted AA (>20 microM) in the absence of Ca2+, whereas Ca2+ was absolutely required for 5-LO activity in broken cell preparations of MM6 cells. 5-LO partially purified from MM6 cells was substantially active in the absence of Ca2+. Recombination experiments revealed that the cytosolic fraction of MM6 cells contains a factor that suppresses the activity of partially purified 5-LO from PMNL, RBL-1, and MM6 cells in the absence but not in the presence of Ca2+. Further characterization showed that this factor is a 80-100 kDa heat-sensitive protein.

Abstract
5-Lipoxygenase is the key enzyme in the formation of leukotrienes, which are potent lipid mediators of asthma pathophysiology. This enzyme translocates to the nuclear envelope in a calcium-dependent manner for leukotriene biosynthesis. Eight green fluorescent protein (GFP)-lipoxygenase constructs, representing the major human and mouse enzymes within this family, were constructed and their cDNAs transfected into human embryonic kidney 293 cells. Of these eight lipoxygenases, only the 5-lipoxygenase was clearly nuclear localized and translocated to the nuclear envelope upon stimulation with the calcium ionophore. The N-terminal "beta -barrel" domain of 5-lipoxygenase, but not the catalytic domain, was necessary and sufficient for nuclear envelope translocation. The GFP-N-terminal 5-lipoxygenase domain translocated faster than GFP-5-lipoxygenase. beta-Barrel/catalytic domain chimeras with 12- and 15-lipoxygenase indicated that only the N-terminal domain of 5-lipoxygenase could carry out this translocation function. Mutations of iron atom binding ligands (His550 or deletion of C-terminal isoleucine) that disrupt nuclear localization do not alter translocation capacity indicating distinct determinants of nuclear localization and translocation. Moreover, data show that GFP-5-lipoxygenase beta-barrel containing constructs can translocate to the nuclear membrane whether cytoplasmic or nuclear localized. Thus, the predicted beta-barrel domain of 5-lipoxygenase may function like the C2 domain within protein kinase C and cytosolic phospholipase A(2) with unique determinants that direct its localization to the nuclear envelope.

Abstract
Increasing evidence suggests that lipoxygenase (LO)-catalysed metabolites have a profound influence on the development and progression of human cancers. Compared with normal tissues, significantly elevated levels of LO products have been found in breast tumours, colon cancers, lung, skin and prostate cancers, as well as in cells from patients with both acute and chronic leukaemias. LO-mediated products elicit diverse biological activities needed for neoplastic cell growth, influencing growth factor and transcription factor activation, oncogene induction, stimulation of tumour cell adhesion and regulation of apoptotic cell death. Agents that block LO catalytic activity may be effective in preventing cancer by interfering with signalling events needed for tumour growth. In the past ten years, pharmaceuticals agents that specifically inhibit the 5-LO metabolic pathway have been developed to treat inflammatory diseases such as asthma, arthritis and psoriasis. Some of these compounds possess anti-oxidant properties and may be effective in preventing cancer by blocking free radical-induced genetic damage or by preventing the metabolic activation of carcinogens. Other compounds may work by negatively modulating DNA synthesis. Pharmacological profiles of potential chemopreventive agents are compiled from enzyme assays, in vitro testing (e.g., cell proliferation inhibition in human cancer cells) and in vivo animal carcinogenesis models (e.g., N-methyl-N-nitrosourea-induced rat mammary cancer, benzo(a)pyrene-induced lung tumours in strain A/J mice and hormone-induced prostate tumours in rats). In this way, compounds are identified for chemoprevention trials in human subjects. Based on currently available data, it is expected that the prevention of lung and prostate cancer will be initially studied in human trials of LO inhibitors.

Abstract
The members of the MAPEG superfamily have been aligned and found to be distantly related, with a common pattern of hydropathy. Figure 2A shows the multiple sequence alignments of the human members and Figure 2B the corresponding superimposed hydropathy profiles. The alignment in Figure 2A demonstrates a total of six strictly conserved residues. The Arg-51 in LTC4 synthase has been suggested to function as proton donor for the opening of the LTA4 epoxide. This arginine is found in all but the FLAP sequences in accordance with the observation that FLAP has no known enzyme activity. Also the Tyr-93 in LTC4 synthase has been suggested to function as a base for the formation of the thiolate anion of glutathione. This tyrosine is not conserved in MGST1 or MGST1-L1. Table 1 summarizes some other properties of the individual human proteins. They are all of the same size, ranging from 147 to 161 amino acids. Only FLAP differs in that its isoelectric point is more neutral than that of the other, more basic proteins. The genes encoding these proteins all reside on different chromosomes (when known) (Table 1). In addition to the human proteins, MAPEG members have been identified in plants, fungi, and bacteria. It is clearly a challenge to elucidate their role in these different phyla in relation to their defined physiological functions in humans.

Abstract
The specific type of phospholipase A2 (PLA2) involved in formation of leukotriene B4 (LTB4) and platelet activating factor (PAF) in inflammatory cells has been controversial. In a recent report we characterized activation of the 'cytosolic' form of PLA2 (cPLA2) in human neutrophils (PMN) permeabilized with Staphylococcus aureus alpha-toxin under conditions where the secretory form of PLA2 (sPLA2) was inactive. In the current study, generation of both LTB4 and PAF in porated PMN are demonstrated. PMN, prelabeled with [3H]arachidonic acid (3H-AA, to assess AA release and LTB4 production) or with 1-O-[9',10'-3H]hexadecyl-2-lyso-glycero-3-phosphocholine (3H-lyso-PAF, for determination of lyso-PAF and PAF formation), were permeabilized with alpha-toxin in a 'cytoplasmic' buffer supplemented with acetyl CoA. Maximum production of both PAF and LTB4 required addition of 500 nM Ca2+, G-protein activation induced with 10 microM GTP gamma S, and stimulation with the chemotactic peptide, N-formyl-Met-Leu-Phe (FMLP, 1 microM); LTB4 production was confirmed by radioimmunoassay. Removal of acetyl CoA from the system had little effect on LTB4 generation but blocked PAF production with a concomitant increase in lyso-PAF formation LTB4 and PAF production occurred in parallel over time and at differing ATP and Ca2+ concentrations. Further work demonstrated that: (i) maximum production of both inflammatory mediators required a hydrolyzable form of ATP; (ii) blocking phosphorylation with staurosporin inhibited production of both; (iii) the reducing agent, dithiotreitol, had little affect on LTB4 formation but slightly enhanced PAF generation. This study clearly shows that cPLA2 activation can provide precursors for both LTB4 and PAF, that maximum PAF and LTB4 formation occur under conditions that induced optimal cPLA2 activation, that a close coupling between LTB4 and PAF formation exists, and that, after substrate generation, no additional requirements are necessary for LTB4 and PAF generation in the permeabilized PMN system.

Abstract
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive disorder characterized by inflammation, fibroblast proliferation, and accumulation of extracellular matrix proteins. Leukotrienes (LTs) are pro-inflammatory and pro-fibrogenic mediators derived from the 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) pathway of arachidonic acid metabolism. They are thought to play a role in a number of disease processes, but have received relatively little attention in investigations into the pathogenesis of IPF. In this study, we measured the levels of immunoreactive LTs B(4) and C(4) in homogenates of lung tissue obtained from patients with newly diagnosed, untreated IPF, as compared to levels measured in homogenates of uninvolved nonfibrotic lung tissue from patients undergoing resectional surgery for bronchogenic carcinoma. Compared to homogenates on nonfibrotic control lung, homogenates from IPF patients contained 15-fold more LTB(4) and 5-fold more LTC(4). IPF homogenate levels of LTB(4) were significantly correlated with histologic indices of both inflammation (r=0.861) and fibrosis (r=0.926). Activation of 5-LO is known from in vitro studies to be associated with localization of the enzyme at the nuclear membrane. Immunohistochemical staining for 5-LO protein in alveolar macrophages (AMs) demonstrated that such an "activated" localization pattern was significantly more frequent in IPF lung (19.2+/-3.3% of cells) than in control lung (9.3+/-0.9%); this localization pattern was rarely seen (3.2%) in sections from a truly normal transplant donor lung. Consistent with these data, AMs obtained from IPF patients by bronchoalveolar lavage, purified by adherence, and cultured in the absence of a stimulus for 16 h elaborated significantly greater amounts of LTB(4) and LTC(4) than did control AMs obtained from normal volunteers. These data indicate that the 5-LO pathway is constitutively activated in the lungs of patients with IPF, and the AM represents at least one cellular source of LT overproduction in this disorder. We speculate that LTs participate in the pathogenesis of IPF, and their overproduction in this disorder may be amenable to specific pharmacotherapy.

Abstract
Human 5-lipoxygenase is a non-heme iron protein which possesses 5-oxygenase, leukotriene A4 synthase and pseudoperoxidase activities and which undergoes a rapid irreversible inactivation during these reactions. The inactivation of the enzyme was dependent on the structural characteristics of the substrate for the reaction, on O2 concentration and on exposure to phospholipids and calcium. The apparent first-order rate constant for enzyme inactivation (k(in)) was 0.6 min(-1) during the oxygenation of arachidonic acid in air-saturated buffer containing phosphatidylcholine vesicles and Ca2+. The rate of enzyme inactivation was dependent on the substrate for the reaction and was about threefold slower during the oxygenation of 5,8-icosadienoic acid and 12(S)-hydroxyicosatetraenoic acid compared with arachidonic acid. Lowering the 02 concentration to 60 microM during the oxygenation of arachidonic acid also caused a 2.5-fold decrease in k(in) without affecting the initial rate of the reaction resulting in an increase in both 5-hydroperoxyicosatetraenoic acid (5-HPETE) and leukotriene A4 accumulation. The concentration of 02 for half-maximal activity (initial rate and product accumulation) was approximately 10 microM. In contrast, the activity and the rate of inactivation during the leukotriene A4 synthase reaction with exogenous 5-HPETE (k(in)=2.0 min(-1) were independent of 02 concentration. A rapid inactivation of the enzyme was also observed during aerobic incubation with phosphatidylcholine vesicles and Ca2+ in the absence of substrate, with a sequential loss of the oxygenase (t1/2 = 0.5 min) and pseudoperoxidase (t1/2 = 7 min) activities. Protection against this turnover-independent inactivation was observed in the presence of the selective reversible 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor L-739,010 ([1S, 5R] 3-cyano-1-(3-furyl)-6-(6-[3-(3 alpha-hydroxy-6,8-dioxyabicyclo [3.2.11 octanyl)] pyridin-2-ylmethoxy) naphthalene) and by prior treatment of vesicles with sodium borohydride and, to a lesser extent, by glutathione peroxidase. The results show that the inactivation of 5-lipoxygenase in phospholipid vesicles is dependent on the structure of the unsaturated fatty acid substrate for the reaction, on the concentration of oxygen and on a turnover-independent oxidation at the active-site leading to the sequential loss of the oxygenase and pseudoperoxidase activities of the enzyme.

Abstract
Leukotriene (LT) synthesis involves the translocation of enzymatically active 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) from a soluble site to a bound site, where it interacts with 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein (FLAP). In human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs), 5-LO moves from the cytosol to the nuclear envelope (NE) to interact with FLAP. However, 5-LO has recently been found within the nucleus, as well as the cytosol, of rat basophilic leukemia (RBL) cells and alveolar macrophages (AMs). To assess whether nuclear 5-LO can contribute to LT synthesis in these cells, we investigated whether this enzyme pool 1) translocates upon cell activation, 2) colocalizes with FLAP, and 3) is enzymatically active. By cell fractionation followed by immunoblotting, both cytosolic and nuclear soluble 5-LO decreased dramatically in RBL cells following activation with the calcium ionophore A23187. Concurrently, 5-LO increased in the pelletable nuclear pool, where FLAP was also detected. The loss of both cytosolic and nuclear soluble 5-LO, with concomitant increase exclusively at the NE, as well as co-localization with FLAP, were confirmed by indirect immunofluorescent and confocal microscopy. In AMs, the nuclear soluble pool of 5-LO moved to the NE, where FLAP was also found; however, the cytosolic 5-LO pool did not translocate. Application of these methods to PMNs confirmed that cytosolic 5-LO moved to the nuclear envelope and co-localized with FLAP. By cell-free assay, nuclear soluble proteins from both RBL cells and AMs, but not PMNs, were able to generate 5-LO products from arachidonate, and this was inhibited by the direct 5-LO inhibitor zileuton. Cytosolic proteins from all cell types also showed cell-free 5-LO activity. These results demonstrate three distinct patterns of 5-LO translocation that are specific for each cell type: translocation of only a cytosolic pool in PMNs, of only a nuclear pool in AMs, and of both cytosolic and nuclear pools in RBL cells. By virtue of its enzymatic activity and ability to translocate, nuclear 5-LO has the potential to contribute to LT synthesis in RBL cells and AMs. Finally, these results provide a foundation for considering the individual functions of discrete pools of 5-LO in future studies.

Abstract
2-Phenylsulfenyl- (1b), 2-phenylselenenyl- (1c) and 2-phenyltellurenyl-1-naphthol (1d) were prepared and their antioxidative properties evaluated in comparison with 2-benzyl-1-naphthol (1a; DuP 654). 2-Phenyltellurenyl-1-naphthol had a significantly lower (1.00 V versus SCE) oxidation potential than the other three compounds (1.24, 1.27 and 1.25 V, respectively, versus SCE for compounds 1a, 1b and 1c) as determined by cyclic voltammetry. In contrast to the other materials, compound 1d was able to catalyze the reduction of hydrogen peroxide in the presence of thiols as stoichiometric reducing agents. The organotellurium compound was also the most efficient inhibitor of azo-initiated peroxidation of linoleic acid in a two-phase model system. Ab initio geometry optimization at the 3-21G(*) level revealed infinitesimal changes in the molecular conformations of the carbon, sulfur, selenium and tellurium analogues. As judged by their ability to inhibit stimulated LTB4 biosynthesis in human neutrophils, compounds 1a-1d all turned out to be highly potent 5-lipoxygenase inhibitors with IC50-values ranging from 0.40 microM for 2-benzyl-1-naphthol (1a) to 0.063 microM for 2-phenyltellurenyl-1-naphthol (1d).

Abstract
5-Lipoxygenase (5-LO) and 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein (FLAP) are two key proteins involved in the synthesis of leukotrienes (LT) from arachidonic acid. Although both alveolar macrophages (AM) and peripheral blood leukocytes (PBL) produce large amounts of LT after activation, 5-LO translocates from a soluble pool to a particulate fraction upon activation of PBL, but is contained in the particulate fraction in AM irrespective of activation. We have therefore examined the subcellular localization of 5-LO in autologous human AM and PBL collected from normal donors. While immunogold electron microscopy demonstrated little 5-LO in resting PBL, resting AM exhibited abundant 5-LO epitopes in the euchromatin region of the nucleus. The presence of substantial quantities of 5-LO in the nucleus of resting AM was verified by cell fractionation and immunoblot analysis and by indirect immunofluorescence microscopy. In both AM and PBL activated by A23187, all of the observable 5-LO immunogold labeling was found associated with the nuclear envelope. In resting cells of both types, FLAP was predominantly associated with the nuclear envelope, and its localization was not affected by activation with A23187. The effects of MK-886, which binds to FLAP, were examined in ionophore-stimulated AM and PBL. Although MK-886 inhibited LT synthesis in both cell types, it failed to prevent the translocation of 5-LO to the nuclear envelope. These results indicate that the nuclear envelope is the site at which 5-LO interacts with FLAP and arachidonic acid to catalyze LT synthesis in activated AM as well as PBL, and that in resting AM the euchromatin region of the nucleus is the predominant source of the translocated enzyme. In addition, LT synthesis is a two-step process consisting of FLAP-independent translocation of 5-LO to the nuclear envelope followed by the FLAP-dependent activation of the enzyme.

Abstract
A Ca2+ and a phosphatidylcholine (PC) as stimulatory factors to human 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) were assessed to examine aspects of the regulatory mechanism of 5-LO. In the presence of Ca2+ (1 microM or less), PC liposomes distinctly stimulated the dual activities of 5-LO for the production of 5-HPETE from arachidonate and for its subsequent conversion to LTA4. At the same concentration of Ca2+, 5-LO was found to bind to PC liposomes. As with 5-LO activities, the binding was dependent on the range of Ca2+ concentration. The conversion ratios of 5-HPETE to LTA4 were dependent on PC liposome concentration and reached a maximum of 50% conversion. Among the four cell membrane lipids examined, PC liposomes demonstrated the highest conversion ratio of 5-HPETE to LTA4 by 5-LO. Most of the arachidonate added to the reaction mixture localized in PC liposomes. These results confirm that the intracellular increase of Ca2+ concentration causes 5-LO to associate with the cell membrane and perform an interfacial reaction. They also suggest that this binding of 5-LO to the cell membrane enhances the subsequent conversion from 5-HPETE to LTA4.

Abstract
The kinetics of 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) activation in human neutrophils was compared with that of arachidonic acid (AA) release and leukotriene (LT) B4 synthesis, and the effect of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) on these processes was examined. The soluble agonists N-formyl-Met-Leu-Phe and platelet-activating factor stimulated 5-LO activity, which peaked within 10 s and then rapidly declined. At all time points investigated, 5-LO activity was greater in GM-CSF-treated neutrophils. The release of AA was detectable only in GM-CSF-treated neutrophils and peaked 1 min after the agonist stimulation. Accordingly, synthesis of LTB4 was detected only in GM-CSF-treated neutrophils. By comparison, 100 nM of ionomycin induced a greater and sustained activation of 5-LO, resulting in a greater synthesis of LTB4. These results show that 5-LO activation is immediate and transient in response to soluble agonists and that temporal dissociation with the release of AA limits LTB4 synthesis.

Abstract
5-Lipoxygenase catalyzes the transformation of arachidonic acid to leukotriene A4. This unstable intermediate can be converted to leukotriene B4 by LTA4-hydrolase or to leukotriene C4 by LTC4-synthase. Leukotrienes are involved in host defense reactions and play an important role in inflammatory diseases like asthma, inflammatory bowel disease and arthritis. The capability to release leukotrienes is restricted to a few cell types. Under pathophysiological conditions, leukotrienes are released from granulocytes, mast cells or macrophages. During hematopoiesis the competence of these cells for leukotriene biosynthesis is supposed to be upregulated. In mature cells, 5-lipoxygenase activity is tightly regulated and seems to be under the control of additional cellular components. One cellular component, a membrane-bound peptide termed FLAP, which is necessary for 5-LO activity in intact cells has been recently identified. Inhibitors of FLAP function prevent translocation of 5-lipoxygenase from cytosol to the membrane and inhibit 5-LO activation. Thus, the understanding of the regulatory mechanisms of cellular leukotriene biosynthesis provides new concepts for the development of antiinflammatory drugs. This review focuses on the regulation of gene expression and activity of 5-lipoxygenase.

Abstract
The kinetics of human 5-lipoxygenase were investigated in the presence of Tween 20 using a continuous spectrophotometric assay. Using the mixture at a constant molar ratio of arachidonate/Tween 20 at pH 8.0, the steady-state velocity on a varied arachidonate concentration did not follow simple Michaelis-Menten-type kinetics and double-reciprocal plot analysis gave hyperbolic curves. However, by introducing the concept of a local pH change, it was possible to analyze the kinetics as simple Michaelis-Menten type. The concept of a local pH change implies that when utilizing an acidic and amphiphilic substance as a substrate, such as arachidonate, the medium around the substrate is acidified with an increased concentration of substrate. This concept was explained rationally by two experiments. Consequently, the data were transformed according to a local pH change and analyzed according to a dual phospholipid model as has been proposed for phospholipase A2 [Hendrickson, H. S. and Dennis, E. A. (1984) Kinetic analysis of the dual phospholipid model for phosphalipase A2, J. Biol. Chem. 259, 5734-5739]. It is concluded that 5-lipoxygenase performs an interfacial reaction in the arachidonate/Tween 20 mixed micelles in the same manner as phospholipase A2. The values of Km were almost constant (about 0.07 molar fraction), even when arachidonate molar ratios were changed in the surface of the mixed micelles. The values for Ks (the association constant of the enzyme to the micelle interface) ranged over 0.21-0.48 microM. The Vmax was 25.76 mumol.min-1.mg-1. This concept of a local pH change could be used extensively with enzymes which utilize both amphiphilic and acidic substances as substrates.

Abstract
The reticulocyte 15-lipoxygenase (linoleate:oxygen oxidoreductase, EC 1.13.11.12) is implicated in oxidative damage to reticulocyte mitochondria before their elimination by degradation during maturation to the erythrocyte. A proportion of the 15-lipoxygenase sediments with the mitochondrial-rich stromal fraction of density-gradient-fractionated rabbit reticulocytes suggesting a physical association with mitochondria before their elimination. Ca2+ promotes binding of reticulocyte 15-lipoxygenase to isolated rat liver and reticulocyte mitochondria and 15-lipoxygenase-mediated lipid peroxidation of mitochondrial lipids and free linoleic acid. Association of reticulocyte 15-lipoxygenase with isolated mitochondria is not simply a consequence of Ca(2+)-induced swelling, but implies that Ca2+ mediates translocation of soluble lipoxygenase to mitochondrial membranes. Therefore, Ca2+ may have an important physiological role in the regulation of 15-lipoxygenase-mediated targeting of reticulocyte mitochondria for degradation.

Abstract
The importance of leukotrienes as mediators of inflammation and bronchoconstriction was examined with two recently described 5-lipoxygenase inhibitors, zileuton and A-78773. Preclinical evaluation of these two molecules indicates that they are potent, selective, direct, reversible inhibitors of 5-lipoxygenase with activity in a variety of purified cells and in more complex biological systems such as whole blood, lung fragments, and tracheal tissues. In various animals models of inflammation and allergy, the molecules inhibited edema, inflammatory cell influx, and bronchospasm. These observations are consistent with the recent clinical success of zileuton in treating asthma and inflammatory bowel disease. In all preclinical systems tested thus far, A-78773 is more potent and longer acting than zileuton, indicating that the molecule could be even more effective in the clinic than zileuton and that both molecules are useful tools in defining the role of leukotrienes in preclinical and clinical settings.

Abstract
5-Lipoxygenase activity in DMSO-differentiated HL60 cells is regulated by human serum. The serum effect depended on the differentiation state of the cells. For a stimulatory effect to occur, it was required that the cells had been treated with DMSO before addition of serum. After this regimen, the HL60 cells acquired the same high 5-LO activity as found for human neutrophils isolated from peripheral blood (about 9-times higher than for HL60 cells treated only with DMSO). On the other hand, when serum was added together with DMSO and present during the entire differentiation period (seven days), or withdrawn after the first four days, the 5-LO activity did not increase. 5-LO activity of HL60 cells covaried with the expression of the CD14 molecule, a marker for myeloid cell maturation which was recently identified as a receptor for the complex of LPS and LPS-binding protein. These serum effects on 5-LO activity were only observed for intact cells. The prominent increase in 5-LO activity induced by serum was not concomitant with similar changes in the expression of 5-LO or 5-LO-activating protein (FLAP), as judged from analyses of immunoreactive protein and mRNA. Also, the high 5-LO activity induced by serum was rather insensitive to the drug MK886 under our standard assay conditions, which included addition of exogenous arachidonic acid (40 microM). The results indicate that additional cellular components of importance for 5-LO activity in HL60 cells become operative after serum treatment, and that mere expression of 5-LO and FLAP is insufficient for high 5-LO activity in intact cells.

Abstract
When mast cells are grown in culture from mouse bone marrow cells, some cells are in suspension and some attach. The cells in suspension released leukotrienes and thromboxane when stimulated. Removal from the attached cells increased eicosanoid formation in the suspended cells two- to six-fold. The upregulation of arachidonic acid metabolism seemed to be due to an increase in phospholipase activity. The attached cells resembled macrophages in morphology, but stained positively for mast cells and produced PGD2 an arachidonic acid metabolite which is characteristic for mast cells. The attached cells did not synthesize eicosanoids when stimulated with IgE/antigen or A23187. Addition of arachidonic acid caused cyclooxygenase product formation but not leukotrienes. No 5-lipoxygenase was detected by immunoblot analysis. Lack of eicosanoid synthesis was, therefore, due to the loss of 5-lipoxygenase and phospholipase activity, while the cyclooxygenase was preserved. These experiments demonstrate that attachment of mast cells to plastic can significantly alter their eicosanoid metabolism.

Abstract
5-Lipoxygenase performs the first two enzymic reactions in the biosynthetic pathway for the leukotrienes. We have utilized HL-60 cells to study the mechanisms regulating expression of 5-lipoxygenase and the recently described 18 kDa membrane protein, 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein (FLAP). Differentiation of HL-60 cells into granulocyte-like cells with dimethyl sulphoxide (Me2SO), retinoic acid or dibutyryl cyclic AMP (Bt2-cAMP) resulted in a 2-3-fold increase in 5-lipoxygenase enzyme activity and a 4-fold increase in leukotriene B4 synthesis. Differentiation of HL-60 cells into monocyte-like cells with 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 induced 5-lipoxygenase activity 5-fold, but leukotriene B4 production was only increased 2-fold. Differentiation of HL-60 cells with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) into macrophage-like cells failed to induce 5-lipoxygenase or leukotriene B4 production. Examination of the levels of the transcript encoding 5-lipoxygenase and FLAP demonstrated that differentiation of HL-60 cells into granulocytes resulted in a co-ordinate induction of 5-lipoxygenase and FLAP mRNA. In contrast, differentiation of HL-60 cells into monocytes resulted in discordant regulation of 5-lipoxygenase and FLAP mRNA. Treatment with 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 resulted in a 6-fold increase in 5-lipoxygenase mRNA and a 1.3-fold increase in FLAP mRNA, while treatment with phorbol ester did not induce 5-lipoxygenase mRNA but did increase FLAP mRNA 2-fold. The transcriptional rate of the 5-lipoxygenase and FLAP genes did not change upon Me2SO or 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 treatment, suggesting that the increase of the mRNA coding for these proteins was not due to transcriptional activation of their respective genes. The mRNA half-life for 5-lipoxygenase did not change significantly upon treatment with Me2SO or 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3. The FLAP mRNA half-life increased from approx. 3.5 h to 4.5 h in cells treated with either Me2SO or 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3. These data suggest that expression of 5-lipoxygenase and FLAP is controlled by a post-transcriptional event other than stabilization of the mRNA.

Abstract
In a previous study, osteosarcoma cells expressing both 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) and 5 lipoxygenase-activating protein (FLAP) synthesized leukotrienes upon A23187 stimulation (Dixon, R. A. F., R. E. Diehl, E. Opas, E. Rands, P. J. Vickers, J. F. Evans, J. W. Gillard, and D. K. Miller. 1990. Nature (Lond.). 343:282-284). Osteosarcoma cells expressing 5-LO but not expressing FLAP were unable to synthesize leukotrienes. Thus, it was determined that FLAP was required for the cellular synthesis of leukotrienes. To examine the role of FLAP in A23187-induced translocation of 5-LO to a membrane fraction, we have studied the A23187-stimulated translocation of 5-LO in osteosarcoma cells expressing both 5-LO and FLAP, and in osteosarcoma cells expressing 5-LO only. We demonstrate that in cells expressing both 5-LO and FLAP, 5-LO translocates to membranes in response to A23187 stimulation. This 5-LO translocation is inhibited when cells are stimulated in the presence of MK-886. In osteosarcoma cells expressing 5-LO but not expressing FLAP, 5-LO is able to associate with membranes following A23187 stimulation. In contrast to the cells containing both 5-LO and FLAP, MK-886 is unable to prevent 5-LO membrane association in cells transfected with 5-LO alone. Therefore, we have demonstrated that in this cell system, 5-LO membrane association and activation can be separated into at least two distinct steps: (1) calcium-dependent movement of 5-LO to membranes without product formation, which can occur in the absence of FLAP (membrane association), and (2) activation of 5-LO with product formation, which is FLAP dependent and inhibited by MK-886 (enzyme activation).

Abstract
Rat basophilic leukemia cells exhibit 12-lipoxygenase activity only upon cell disruption. 12-Lipoxygenase may also possess 15-lipoxygenase activity, as is indicated by the formation of low amounts of 15(S)-HETE, in addition to the predominant product 12(S)-HETE, upon incubation of partially purified 12-lipoxygenase with arachidonic acid. With 5(S)-HPETE as substrate not only 5(S), 12(S)-diHETE and 5(S), 15(S)-diHETE are formed, but also LTA4, as was indicated by the presence of LTA4-derived LTB4-isomers. 12-Lipoxygenase from rat basophilic leukemia cells has many features in common with 12-lipoxygenase from bovine leukocytes. As was suggested for the latter enzyme, 12-lipoxygenase from rat basophilic leukemia cells may represent the remaining LTA4-synthase activity of 5-lipoxygenase, of which the 5-dioxygenase activity has disappeared upon cell disruption. Such a possible shift from 5-lipoxygenase activity to 12-lipoxygenase activity could not simply be induced by interaction of cytosolic 5-lipoxygenase with a membrane fraction after cell disruption, but may involve release of membrane-associated 5-lipoxygenase upon disruption of activated rat basophilic leukemia cells.

Abstract
Recent studies in rat basophilic leukemia cells (RBL-2H3) have shown that two pharmacological agents, ionomycin and thapsigargin, induce leukotriene C4 production and translocation of 5-lipoxygenase from cytosol to membrane, primarily by causing an influx of extracellular calcium. In the present study, we investigate the induction of these events by receptor activation. Cross-linking of high-affinity IgE receptors (Fc epsilon RI) by antigen in RBL-2H3 cells leads to leukotriene C4 production and membrane translocation of 5-lipoxygenase. As in the ionomycin-stimulated cells, leukotriene C4 production in antigen-stimulated cells is calcium-dependent since the amount of leukotriene C4 produced correlates quantitatively with the increase in intracellular free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i). However, the increase in [Ca2+]i required for equivalent leukotriene C4 production by antigen is not as high as it is using ionomycin. In addition, no threshold [Ca2+]i level is required for leukotriene production by antigen, which is in contrast to the ionomycin stimulation that a [Ca2+]i level of 300-400 nM is required. Furthermore, antigen causes an additive increase in leukotriene C4 production in cells stimulated by the ionomycin. These results suggest that another as yet unidentified intracellular pathway acts in conjunction with Ca2+ for leukotriene synthesis in antigen-stimulated cells. Antigen stimulation causes 20-30% of the total cell 5-lipoxygenase to associate with membranes (compared with 10% in unstimulated cells) as demonstrated by enzyme activity assay and by Western Blot using antibodies to 5-lipoxygenase.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
By using exogenous substrates, activation of human neutrophil 5-lipoxygenase can be investigated independently of the release of endogenous arachidonic acid. We have developed a sensitive assay to measure 5-LO activation which takes advantage of the 5-LO-mediated conversion of 15S-hydroperoxy-5,8,11,13(Z,Z,Z,E)-eicosatetraenoic acid (15-HpETE) into 5S,15S-dihydroxy-6,8,11,13(E,Z,Z,E)-eicosatetraenoic acid (5,15-DiHETE). When resting neutrophils were incubated with low micromolar concentrations of 15-HpETE, a minor dose- and time-dependent formation of 5,15-DiHETE was observed. In contrast, co-addition of 15-HpETE with Ca2+ ionophore A23187 or with the neutrophil agonists platelet-activating factor (PAF), fMetLeuPhe or complement component C5a resulted in a sizeable concentration-dependent synthesis of 5,15-DiHETE, while lyso-PAF and phorbol myristate acetate were without effect on 5,15-DiHETE formation from 15-HpETE. This stimulation of 5,15-DiHETE synthesis by A23187 or by natural agonists was effectively inhibited by MK-886, a compound that has recently been reported to inhibit the A23187-induced translocation of 5-LO to membrane structures. Furthermore, natural-agonist-induced activation of the 5-LO-mediated transformation of 15-HpETE was inhibited by pertussis toxin, indicating the involvement of a GTP-binding protein in the 5-LO activation process.

Abstract
12-Lipoxygenase from rat basophilic leukemia cells was purified about 300-fold by protein-HPLC in a single run. Maximal 12-lipoxygenase activity was observed at pH 7.5, while the enzyme became almost inactive at pH 6 and 9. Although Ca2+ was not essential for 12-lipoxygenase activity, the partially purified enzyme was stimulated approx. 2-fold in the presence of 0.1-5.0 mM Ca2+. Contrary to 5-lipoxygenase from RBL-1 cells, 12-lipoxygenase was not inactivated by preincubation with Ca2+ for 1-10 min, nor was it stimulated by 0.1-10 mM ATP.
