Observations

Ref

15-LOX-1

MCF7/ endothelial monolayers

15-LOX-1 activation

15-LOX-1 inhibition

• 15-LOX-1 gene activation induced in MCF7 cell spheroids.

• 15-LOX-1 inhibition/knock-down leads to MCF7 spheroid–induced circular defects in lymphatic endothelial cell monolayers decrease.

• 15-LOX-1 knock-down suppress formation of circular defects and metastasis to the lymph node in breast xenograft tumors.

[68]

15-LOX-1

12(S)-HETE

MCF-7

15-LOX-1 inhibition

• 15-LOX-1 inhibition (baicalein) and NF-kB (Bay11–7082) caused inhibition of circular chemo repellent-induced defects’ (CCID) formation in MCF-7 cell spheroids.

• 12(S)-HETE generation by 15-LOX-1 under NF-kB facilitate CCID and attachment of breast cancer cells to the lymph-endothelial cells.

[67]

15(S)-HETE 13(S)-HODE

MCF-7

Exposure to eicosapentaenoic (EPA),

gamma linoleic acid (GLA)

• EPA treatment caused increased expression level of E-cadherin while GLA treatment had no effect.

• GLA or EPA treatment caused elevation of 15(S)-HETE and 13(S)-HODE level

[69]

15-LOX-1

Myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSCs),

metastatic breast tumors

 

• In MDSCs from metastatic 4 T1 tumors, 15-LOX-1 was a positive activator of CREB.

[70]

13-HPODE 13-HODE

Bovine mammary endothelial cells (BMEC), bovine monocytes

Streptococcus uberis

• 15-LOX-1 metabolite levels remained unchanged in BMEC exposed to Streptococcus uberis.

• 13-HPODE and 13-HODE produced in bovine monocytes exposed to Streptococcus uberis.

• BMEC treatment with 13-HPODE reduced endothelial barrier integrity, accelerate apoptosis while the effects reversed in co-treatment with antioxidant.

[71]

15-LOX-1

MCF-7

purine-pyrazole hybrids

• 15-LOX-1 suppression using purine-pyrazole hybrids reduced the rate of viable MCF-7 cells

[34]

15-HETE

TMT-081 rat mammary tumor cell line

Exogenous arachidonic acid/ to 15-HETE

• 15-HETE stimulate DNA synthesis in TMT-081 cells.

• LOX inhibition using NDGA and esculetin resulted in TMT-081 cell growth suppression.

• Exogenous arachidonic acid induced production of eicosanoids metabolites in TMT-081.

[74]

13-HODE

LOX

BT-20 cells

TGF alpha A23187

• TGF alpha and A23187 caused 13-HODE formation in BT-20 cells.

• LOX activity suppression reduced 13-HODE formation and DNA synthesis.

• LOX activity and 13-HODE production are involved in transferring the mitogenic signals in breast cancer cell.
