Neuroinflammation is a common feature of age-related brain disorders including Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD) and cerebral ischemia. 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX), a proinflammatory enzyme, modulates inflammation by generating leukotrienes. Abnormal activation of 5-LOX and excessive production of leukotrienes have been detected in the development of age-related brain pathology. In this review, we provide an update on the current understanding of 5-LOX activation and several groups of functionally related inhibitors. In addition, the modulatory roles of 5-LOX in the pathogenesis and progression of the age-related brain disorders have been comprehensively highlighted and discussed. Inhibition of 5-LOX activation may represent a promising therapeutic strategy for AD, PD and cerebral ischemia.
神经炎症是与年龄相关的脑疾病(包括阿尔茨海默病(AD)、帕金森病(PD)和脑缺血)的共同特征。5-脂氧合酶(5-LOX)是一种促炎酶,通过生成白三烯来调节炎症。在与年龄相关的脑病理发展过程中,已检测到 5-LOX 的异常激活和白三烯的过度产生。在这篇综述中,我们提供了对 5-LOX 激活及其几组功能相关抑制剂的最新理解。此外,还全面强调和讨论了 5-LOX 在与年龄相关的脑疾病发病机制和进展中的调节作用。抑制 5-LOX 的激活可能代表了 AD、PD 和脑缺血的一种有前途的治疗策略。
