5-Lipoxygenase Deficiency Impairs Innate and Adaptive Immune Responses during Fungal Infection

Abstract: 5-lipoxygenase-derived products have been implicated in both the inhibition and promotion of chronic infection. Here, we sought to investigate the roles of endogenous 5-lipoxygenase products and exogenous leukotrienes during Histoplasma capsulatum infection in vivo and in vitro . 5-LO deficiency led to increased lung CFU, decreased nitric oxide production and a deficient primary immune response during active fungal infection. Moreover, … Show more

“…Alveolar macrophages (AMs) play an important role in pulmonary infections by phagocytizing pathogenic bacteria and secreting molecules such as cytokines, nitric oxide (NO), reactive oxygen species, and lipid mediators that contribute to the control of infection (Gordon, 2007;Medeiros et al, 2012;Secatto et al, 2012). Prostaglandins (PGs) are well known lipid mediators that are synthesized from arachidonic acid by cyclooxygenase enzymes that were important during the inflammatory process Pereira et al, 2013).…”

“…Assim, a produção de citocinas pró e anti-inflamatórias é rigorosamente controlada por um mecanismo de "feedback" complexo (VAN DISSEL et al, 1998;TANIGUCHI et al, 1999). O desequilíbrio na produção de citocinas pró e anti-inflamatórias contribui para ocorrência do choque, falência múltipla de órgãos e morte (PETRICEVICH, 2004;PETRICEVICH, 2006;PETRICEVICH, 2010 (MEDEIROS et al, 2004;SECATTO et al, 2012;PEREIRA et al, 2013;SECATTO et al, 2014) e tuberculose (PERES et al, 2007). A PGE 2 está envolvida na resposta inflamatória (FRUSCELLA et al, 2001) BOWIE, 2007;SORGI et al, 2009;LIU et al, 2011;YANG et al, 2013 Isto conduz à ativação de fase tardia de NF-kB e do fator de transcrição regulador de interferon 3 (IRF3), bem como a ativação de MAPK e da via fosfatidilinositol 3-quinase (PI3K) (DAUPHINEE & KARSAN, 2006).…”
