malfunction | knocking out LTA4H significantly reduces skin cancer development in the 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA)-initiated/12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-promoted two-stage skin cancer mouse model. LTA4H depletion dramatically decreases anchorage-dependent and -independent skin cancer cell growth by inducing cell cycle arrest at the G0/G1 phase. Depletion of LTA4H enhances p27 protein stability, which is associated with decreased phosphorylation of CDK2 at Thr160 and inhibition of the CDK2/cyclin E complex, resulting in down-regulated p27 ubiquitination.

physiological function | leukotriene A4 hydrolase (LTA4H) is a bifunctional zinc metalloenzyme overexpressed in several human cancers. LTA4H regulates cell cycle and skin carcinogenesis. LTA4H is a key modulator of cell cycle through its negative effect on p27 expression. LTA4H mediates the G0/G1 cell cycle phase through p27 proteasome degradation and is is implicated in cell growth, cell cycle distribution. LTA4H mediates p27 stability through LTB4/BLT1 pathway. LTA4H and BLT1 influence the formation of the CDK2/cyclin E complex and the phosphorylation of CDK2 at Thr160 | Homo sapiens |
