The Journal of Immunology Improved Survival and Reduced Vascular Permeability by Eliminating or Blocking 12/15-Lipoxygenase in Mouse Models of Acute Lung Injury (ALI)1 Alexander Zarbock,2*‡§ Matthew R. DiStasi,§ Emily Smith,* John M. Sanders,* Gerhard Kronke,* Brian L. Harry,* Sibylle von Vietinghoff,§ Konrad Buscher,§ Jerry L. Nadler,*† and Klaus Ley*§ Acute lung injury (ALI) is a prevalent disease associated with high mortality. 12/15-lipoxygenase (12/15-LO) is an enzyme pro- ducing 12-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (HETE) and 15-HETE from arachidonic acid. To test whether 12/15-LO is involved in increasing vascular permeability in the lung, we investigated the role of 12/15-LO in murine models of LPS-induced pulmonary inflammation and clinically relevant acid-induced ALI. The vascular permeability increase upon LPS inhalation was abolished in Downloaded from Alox15؊/؊ mice lacking 12/15-LO and in wild-type mice after pharmacological blockade of 12/15-LO. Alox15؊/؊ mice also showed improved gas exchange, reduced permeability increase, and prolonged survival in the acid-induced ALI model. Bone marrow chimeras and reconstitution experiments revealed that 12-HETE produced by hematopoietic cells regulates vascular permeability through a CXCR2-dependent mechanism. Our findings suggest that 12/15-LO-derived 12-HETE is a key mediator of vascular permeability in acute lung injury.

To investigate the main source of 12/15-LO relevant to vascular permeability, chimeric mice were generated by bone mar- row transplantation that expressed 12/15-LO in hematopoietic cells, nonhematopoietic cells, both, or neither. To address the mechanism by which 12/15-LO products influence vascular per- meability in ALI, we tested the interaction between 12-HETE and the CXCL1-CXCR2 axis of inflammatory chemokine signaling. Materials and Methods Animals We used 8- to 12-wk-old C57BL/6 mice (The Jackson Laboratory) and Alox15-deficient mice (31) backcrossed to C57BL/6 for at least 10 gener- ations (UVA colony) (32). Furthermore, Cxcr2Ϫ/Ϫ mice (The Jackson Lab- oratory) on the BALB/c background and BALB/c controls were used. Mice were housed in a barrier facility under specific pathogen-free conditions. The Animal Care and Use Committee of the University of Virginia (Char- lottesville) approved all animal experiments. Murine model of LPS-induced pulmonary inflammation and acid-induced ALI Downloaded from LPS from Salmonella enteritidis (500 g/ml; Sigma-Aldrich) was nebu- lized to induce pulmonary inflammation as previously described (33). Briefly, mice were exposed to 30 min of aerosolized LPS or saline aerosol as a control. In some experiments 12/15-LO activity was pharmacologically inhibited by cinnamyl-3,4-dihydroxy-␣-cyanocinnamate (CDC; BIOMOL Interna- tional). Mice were injected 1 h (8 mg/kg, i.p.) before induction of the http://www.jimmunol.org/ pulmonary inflammation. Acid-induced ALI was induced by injection of 2 l/g HCl (pH 1.5) intratracheally, followed by a bolus of air (30 l/g) as previously described (7). Following a tracheotomy, mice were ventilated with a respirator (Mini- Vent, type 845; Hugo Sachs Elektronik) for 2 h (tidal volume, 10 l/g; respiration rate, 140/min; fraction of inspiratory oxygen (FiO2), 0.21). Control animals received saline instead of HCl in the same manner. Pulmonary microvascular permeability We determined pulmonary microvascular permeability in wild-type (WT), by guest on September 28, 2021 Alox15Ϫ/Ϫ, and chimeric mice using the Evans blue dye extravasation tech- nique as described previously (10).
