The 5-lipoxygenase pathway in arterial wall biology and atherosclerosis

LOTZER, K, FUNK, C, HABENICHT, A·2005·Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular and Cell Biology of Lipids

Abstract

Leukotrienes (LTs) are powerful inflammatory lipid mediators derived from the 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) cascade of arachidonic acid. Recent clinical, population genetic, cell biological, and mouse studies indicate participation of the 5-LO pathway in atherogenesis and arterial wall remodeling. 5-LO is expressed by leukocytes including blood monocytes, tissue macrophages, dendritic cells, neutrophils, and mast cells. LTB4 and the cysteinyl LTs LTC4, LTD4, and LTE4, act through two BLT and two cysLT receptors that are differentially expressed on hematopoietic and arterial wall cells. The precise roles of LTs or the LT receptors in cardiovascular physiology remain largely to be explored. In this review, we will discuss what is currently known about the 5-LO atherosclerosis connection. We will attempt to propose strategies to further explore potential links between the 5-LO pathway and blood vessel physiology and disease progression.

Statistics

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Although NOX4 activity has been shown to reduce fibrosis in atherosclerosis, it can also promote fibrosis, particularly in the lung, but also in kidney and other tissues.

    “In a final note, it should be also considered that although NOX4 activity has been shown to reduce fibrosis in atherosclerosis (230), it can also promote fibrosis, particularly in the lung, but also in kidney and other tissues (110, 201, 416, 596, 820).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
