General Information | Comment | Organism |

physiological function | anti-inflammatory and tissue-protective role of 12/15-LO and its eicosanoidic products during chronic inflammatory disorders such as arthritis. 12/15-LO-deficient mice show enhanced inflammatory gene expression and decreased levels of the eicosanoid lipoxin A(4) within their inflamed synovia. 12/15-LO-deficient macrophages display significantly reduced levels of lipoxin A(4), which correlate with increased activation of p38MAPK and an enhanced inflammatory gene expression after stimulation with TNF-alpha | Mus musculus |
