Disease relevance of Alox15

 

Psychiatry related information on Alox15

  • The difference in sensitivity was not due to a difference in 12-LOX activity but rather appeared to be related to the presence of stronger antioxidant defense mechanisms in mature OLs [4].
 

High impact information on Alox15

  • Using immature cortical neurons and a clonal nerve cell line, it is shown that a decrease in GSH triggers the activation of neuronal 12-lipoxygenase (12-LOX), which leads to the production of peroxides, the influx of Ca2+, and ultimately to cell death [5].
  • W256 cells transfected with 12-LOX-specific antisense oligonucleotide or antisense oligonucleotides directed to conserved regions of LOXs underwent time- and dose-dependent apoptosis [1].
  • In addition we show that if GSH synthesis inhibition persists for up to 4 days without any additional treatment, it will induce a cell death process that also depends on 12-LOX, GC, and PKG activation [2].
  • Here we demonstrate that arachidonic acid (AA) metabolism through the 12-lipoxygenase (12-LOX) pathway is also central for this GSH-NO interaction [2].
  • Overexpression of 12-LOX enhanced the surface expression and focal adhesion localization of integrin alphavbeta5, while not affecting other integrins [6].

Associations of Alox15 with chemical compounds

  • Incubation of pineal homogenates with exogenous melatonin partially inhibited 12-LOX activity [9].
  • The reduction of 12-HETE levels during the dark phase and after isoproterenol injection was accompanied by decreases in 12-LOX mRNA and protein levels [9].
  • Blocking 12-LOX with AA-861 effectively inhibited the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced by cystine deprivation [4].
  • These data indicate zaltoprofen may produce its analgesic effects through the inhibition of bradykinin B2 receptor-mediated bradykinin responses of not only cyclooxygenases (COXs) but also bradykinin induced 12-LOX inhibitors [12].
  • Zaltoprofen also significantly inhibits bradykinin-induced 12-lipoxygenase (12-LOX) activity and the slow bradykinin-induced onset of substance P release from DRG neurons [12].
 

Regulatory relationships of Alox15

 

Other interactions of Alox15

  • These data suggest a cell death pathway triggered by peroxynitrite in which intracellular zinc release leads to activation of 12-LOX, ROS accumulation, p38 activation, and caspase-3 activation [3].
  • We researched the expression of COXs (COX-1 and COX-2) and LOXs (5-LOX and 12-LOX) in rat renal I/R injury [14].
