Differential regulation of 5-lipoxygenase and leukotriene-C4-synthase expression by IFNγ, IL-4 and IL-13 in human monocytes and macrophages from patients with atopic dermatitis
We demonstrate that IFNγ enhances the 5-LO/ALOX5-catalyzed stage of CysLT synthesis, whereas IL-13 promotes the LTC4S dependent pathway in human monocytes or macrophages. These findings suggest a potential role for these cells in driving CysLT production in acute and chronic AD lesions and may give rise for future therapeutic interventions targeting this pathway.
