Arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase, also known as ALOX5, 5-lipoxygenase, 5-LOX, or 5-LO, is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the ALOX5 gene.[1] Arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase is a member of the lipoxygenase family of enzymes. It transforms EFAs into leukotrienes and is a current target for pharmaceutical intervention in a number of diseases.

Substrates and products

Polyunsaturated fatty acid substrates and products of 5-LO include:

Function

5-LO catalyzes oxidation of AA at the 5-position to yield 5-HpETE. 5-LO then converts 5-HpETE to leukotriene A4.[5]

As well as being intermediates in the formation of leukotrienes, hydroperoxides are released from lipoxygenase enzymes. These hydroperoxides are rapidly reduced to their corresponding hydroxy- eicosatetraenoates which may then be further metabolize to active products. 5-LO releases 5-HpETE) which can be further metabolized to 5-oxo-ETE, a potent stimulator of cells involved in allergic reactions such as eosinophils and basophils, and a possible mediator of allergic reactions in humans.[2]

Recently, oxidized lipid products of 5-LO have been measured in membranes of neutrophils in the form of esterified-5-HETE phospholipids. These novel products have biological activities including inhibition of neutrophil extracellular traps.[6][7]

Eicosanoid synthesis.

Two other lipoxygenases, 12-LO and 15-LO, act at the 12- and 15-positions, metabolizing arachidonic acid 12- and 15-hydroperoxy intermediates which are then further metabolized to bioactive products including 12-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (12-HETE), 15-hydroxyicosatetraenoic acid (15-HETE), lipoxins, and Hepoxilins.[8]

Gene knockout studies

Alox5-deficient mice exhibit a worsened inflammatory component, failure to resolve inflammation-related responses, and decreased survival in experimental models of respiratory syncytial virus disease, Lyme disease, Toxoplasma gondii disease, and corneal injury. These studies indicate that the suppression of inflammation is a major function of Alox5 and, presumably, the anti-inflammatory specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs) that they make, at least in certain rodent inflammation-based model systems. Although rodent Alox5 may differ from human ALOX5 in the profile of the PUFA metabolites they make and their tissue distributions, these genetic studies allow that human ALOX5 along with the SPMs that they contribute to making may play a similar major anti-inflammatory function in humans.[9][10]

Clinical significance

5-LO is a target for pharmaceutical intervention in CAD.[11] Some people with variant alleles for 5-LO are at elevated risk for CAD.[12] 5-LO is expressed in brain cells and may participate in neuropathologic processes.[13]

Mutations in the promoter region of this gene lead to a diminished response to antileukotriene drugs used in the treatment of asthma and may also be associated with atherosclerosis and several cancers. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been observed, but their full-length nature has not been determined.[14]

Based on the gene knockout studies cited above, ALOX5 may function to reduce and resolve as well as promote diverse inflammation responses.

5-LO inhibitors

As leukotrienes are important causes of pathological symptoms in asthma, 5-LO inhibitors were developed as asthma treatments. The only 5-LO inhibitor currently licensed for human use in asthma is zileuton.

Minocycline, although primarily a tetracycline antibiotic, is also a 5-LO inhibitor.[15] It may therefore be used as a DMARD-medication in mild rheumatoid arthritis and other rheumatic conditions.[16]

Hyperforin, an active constituent of the herb St John's wort, is a highly potent 5-LO inhibitor.[17] Another natural product, indirubin-3'-monoxime, was also described as selective 5-LO inhibitor effective in a range of cell-free and cell-based models.[18] In addition, curcumin, a constituent of turmeric, is a 5-LO inhibitor in vitro.[19]

Activation

5-LO is activated by 5-lipoxygenase activating protein (FLAP).
