Description:
Leukotriene A(4) hydrolase (LTA(4)H) is a proinflammatory enzyme that generates the inflammatory mediator leukotriene B(4) (LTB(4)). LTA(4)H also possesses aminopeptidase activity with unknown substrate and physiological importance; we identified the neutrophil chemoattractant proline-glycine-proline (PGP) as this physiological substrate. PGP is a biomarker for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and is implicated in neutrophil persistence in the lung. In acute neutrophil-driven inflammation, PGP was degraded by LTA(4)H, which facilitated the resolution of inflammation. In contrast, cigarette smoke, a major risk factor for the development of COPD, selectively inhibited LTA(4)H aminopeptidase activity, which led to the accumulation of PGP and neutrophils. These studies imply that therapeutic strategies inhibiting LTA(4)H to prevent LTB(4) generation may not reduce neutrophil recruitment because of elevated levels of PGP.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3072752/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉 〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3072752/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Snelgrove, Robert J -- Jackson, Patricia L -- Hardison, Matthew T -- Noerager, Brett D -- Kinloch, Andrew -- Gaggar, Amit -- Shastry, Suresh -- Rowe, Steven M -- Shim, Yun M -- Hussell, Tracy -- Blalock, J Edwin -- 082727/Z/07/Z/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- 1K23DK075788/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- 1R03DK084110-01/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- G0400795/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- G0802752/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- HL07783/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- HL087824/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- HL090999/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- HL102371-A1/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- K08HL091127/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- P171/03/C1/048/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- P30 DK079337/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- P30AR050948/AR/NIAMS NIH HHS/ -- P30CA13148/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P50 AT00477/AT/NCCIH NIH HHS/ -- R01 HL077783/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HL077783-05/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HL087824/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HL087824-02/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HL090999/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HL090999-02S1/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HL090999-04/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HL102371/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- RR19231/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- U54CA100949/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2010 Oct 1;330(6000):90-4. doi: 10.1126/science.1190594.
