5-Lipoxygenase activating protein (FLAP) dependent leukotriene biosynthesis inhibition (MK591) attenuates Lipid A endotoxin-induced inflammation.
The Lipid A moiety of endotoxin potently activates TLR-4 dependent host innate immune responses. We demonstrate that Lipid-A mediated leukotriene biosynthesis regulates pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMP)-dependent macrophage activation. Stimulation of murine macrophages (RAW264.7) with E....
