20153347 Kim CE, Lee SJ, Seo KW, Park HM, Yun JW, Bae JU, Bae SS, Kim CD: Acrolein increases 5-lipoxygenase expression in murine macrophages through activation of ERK pathway. Toxicol Appl Pharmacol. 2010 Feb 11.

Episodic exposure to acrolein-rich pollutants has been linked to acute myocardial infarction, and 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) is involved in the production of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), which destabilizes atherosclerotic plaques.

A dose-dependent decrease in the formation of 5-LO products was observed in GM-CSF/fMLP-stimulated neutrophils when acrolein (0-50 microM) was present with almost complete inhibition at > or = 25 microM acrolein.

The objective of this study was to determine if treatment with a leukotriene receptor antagonist and 5-lipoxygenase inhibitors could diminish acrolein-induced bronchial hyperresponsiveness and to determine whether leukotriene (LT) C4 generation is augmented by acrolein exposure.

The carboxylate anion of 5-HEA (m/z 399) was found to decompose by the loss of trimethylsilanol as well as the loss of 146 u corresponding to the loss of trimethylsilanol followed by acrolein, a process specific for 5-hydroxy-containing saturated fatty acids.

In our previous report we have shown that spices and their active principles inhibit 5-lipoxygenase and also formation of leukotriene C4.
