Published data has implicated that eicosanoids derived from the microsomal Prostaglandin Synthase type 1 (mPGES-1) and 15-Lipoxygenase (12/15-LOX) enzymes are involved in mediating tissue injury in multiple different cell types including epithelial cells and bone marrow derived monocytes (BMDMs). Of note, mPGES-1 and 12/15-LOX... |
