Family Lipoxygenase family
Function
Non-heme iron-containing dioxygenase that catalyzes the stereo-specific peroxidation of free and esterified polyunsaturated fatty acids generating a spectrum of bioactive lipid mediators. It inserts peroxyl groups at C12 or C15 of arachidonate ((5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z)-eicosatetraenoate) producing both 12-hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoate/12-HPETE and 15- hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoate/15-HPETE. It may then act on 12-HPETE to produce hepoxilins, which may show pro-inflammatory properties. Can also peroxidize linoleate ((9Z,12Z)-octadecadienoate) to 13-hydroperoxyoctadecadienoate/13-HPODE. May participate in the sequential oxidations of DHA ((4Z,7Z,10Z,13Z,16Z,19Z)-docosahexaenoate) to generate specialized pro- resolving mediators (SPMs)like resolvin D5 ((7S,17S)-diHPDHA) and (7S,14S)-diHPDHA, that actively down-regulate the immune response and have anti-aggregation properties with platelets. Can convert epoxy fatty acids to hydroperoxy-epoxides derivatives followed by an intramolecular nucleophilic substitution leading to the formation of monocyclic endoperoxides. Plays an important role during the maintenance of self-tolerance by peroxidizing membrane-bound phosphatidylethanolamine which can then signal the sorting process for clearance of apoptotic cells during inflammation and prevent an autoimmune response. In addition to its role in the immune and inflammatory responses, this enzyme may play a role in epithelial wound healing in the cornea through production of lipoxin A4 (LXA(4)) and docosahexaenoic acid-derived neuroprotectin D1 (NPD1; 10R,17S-HDHA), both lipid autacoids exhibit anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties. Furthermore, it may regulate actin polymerization which is crucial for several biological processes such as the phagocytosis of apoptotic cells. It is also implicated in the generation of endogenous ligands for peroxisome proliferator activated receptor (PPAR-gamma), hence modulating macrophage development and function. It may also exert a negative effect on skeletal development by regulating bone mass through this pathway. As well as participates in ER stress and downstream inflammation in adipocytes, pancreatic islets, and liver. Finally, it is also involved in the cellular response to IL13/interleukin-13.

Wild-type SD rats were kept in the Animal Experiment Center of Southeast University. Experimental rats were divided into 4 groups (n = 6 per group). The method of establishing the I/R model was provided in supplementary material. Then, we covered the ligation with gel. In order to fully cover the infarcted area of the heart, we chose to inject about 300 uL of mimics + Gel at 23 mm below the left atrial appendage (about the ligation). In order to prevent excessive irradiation of tissue burns, we selected each irradiation for 2 min to control the body surface temperature for a total of 10 min of irradiation.

All of the remaining four groups were given the interventions within 10 minutes of ROSC. Rats in CPR group (n = 6) received an intraperitoneal injection of 0.9% saline (1 mL/kg). Rats in baicalein group (n = 6) were intraperitoneally injected with 50 mg/kg (body weight) baicalein at the same time, based on previous studies. Rats in tunicamycin group (n = 6) were intraperitoneally injected with tunicamycin (2 mg/kg body weight) (22-24). Rats in baicalein + tunicamycin group (n = 6) were intraperitoneally injected with 50 mg/kg (body weight) baicalein and 2 mg/kg (body weight) tunicamycin. All groups were given the same volume of normal saline solvent (2 mL/kg).

Response Description Vitamin E treatment was associated with decreased epileptic grade, seizure latency, and number of seizures in the PTZ-kindled epileptic model. Vitamin E treatment also decreased 15-LOX expression, inhibited MDA and iron accumulation, and increased GPX4 and GSH expression. In conclusion, vitamin E can reduce neuronal ferroptosis and seizures by inhibiting 15-LOX expression.
