Abstract

The endogenous ligands for the LT, lipoxin (LX) and oxoeicosanoid receptors are bioactive products produced by the action of the lipoxygenase family of enzymes. The LT receptors BLT1 and BLT2, are activated by LTB4 and the CysLT1 and CysLT2 receptors are activated by the cysteinyl‐LTs, whereas oxoeicosanoids exert their action through the OXE receptor. In contrast to these pro‐inflammatory mediators,LX A 4 transduces responses associated with the resolution of inflammation through the receptor FPR 2/ALX(ALX/FPR 2). The aim of the present review is to give a state of the field on these receptors, with focus on recent important findings. For example,BLT1 receptor signalling in cancer and the dual role of the BLT2 receptor in pro‐ and anti‐inflammatory actions have added more complexity to lipid mediator signalling. Furthermore, a cross‐talk between the CysLT and P 2 Y receptor systems has been described, and also the presence of novel receptors for cysteinyl‐LTs, such as GPR 17 and GPR 99. Finally, lipoxygenase metabolites derived from ω‐3 essential polyunsaturated acids, the resolvins, activate the receptors GPR 32 and C hem R 23. In conclusion, the receptors for the lipoxygenase products make up a sophisticated and tightly controlled system of endogenous pro‐ and anti‐inflammatory signalling in physiology and pathology.

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

  • ALX/FPR2 is activated by agonists with partly opposing effects: SPMs and annexin-derived peptides promote M2-like macrophage polarization and pro-resolving signalling, while acute phase, bacterial, or mitochondrial peptides elicit pro-inflammatory signalling.

    “whereas SPMs and annexin-derived peptides promote M2-like macrophage polarization and pro-resolving signalling through ALX/FPR2, the same receptor elicits pro-inflammatory signalling when activated by acute phase, bacterial or mitochondrial peptides103.”
  • ALX/FPR2 is the receptor for lipoxins, DHA-derived RvD1, and annexin A1, whereas EPA-derived resolvins signal through ChemR23.

    “ALX/FPR2 is the receptor for lipoxins, the DHA-derived RvD1 and for annexin A1 and its derivatives, whereas the EPA-derived resolvins signal their pro-resolving effects through the ChemR23 receptor103.”

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.
