When human monocytes or alveolar macrophages are cultured in the
presence of interleukin (IL)-4 or IL-13, the expression of the
reticulocyte-type 15-lipoxygenase is induced. In mice a 15-lipoxygenase is not expressed, but a leukocyte-type 12-lipoxygenase is present in
peritoneal macrophages. To investigate whether both lipoxygenase isoforms exhibit a similar regulatory response toward cytokine stimulation, we studied the regulation of the leukocyte-type
12-lipoxygenase of murine peritoneal macrophages by interleukins and
found that the activity of this enzyme is upregulated in a
dose-dependent manner when the cells were cultured in the presence of
the IL-4 or IL-13 but not by IL-10. When peripheral murine monocytes
that do not express the lipoxygenase were treated with IL-4 expression of 12/15-lipoxygenase mRNA was induced, suggesting pretranslational control mechanisms. In contrast, no upregulation of the lipoxygenase activity was observed when the macrophages were prepared from homozygous STAT6-deficient mice. Peritoneal macrophages of transgenic mice that systemically overexpress IL-4 exhibited a threefold to
fourfold higher 12-lipoxygenase activity than cells prepared from
control animals. A similar upregulation of 12-lipoxygenase activity was
detected in heart, spleen, and lung of the transgenic animals.
Moreover, a strong induction of the enzyme was observed in red cells
during experimental anemia in mice. The data presented here indicate
that (1) the 12-lipoxygenase activity of murine macrophages is
upregulated in vitro and in vivo by IL-4 and/or IL-13, (2) this
upregulation requires expression of the transcription factor STAT6, and
(3) the constitutive expression of the enzyme appears to be STAT6
independent. The cytokine-dependent upregulation of the murine
macrophage 12-lipoxygenase and its induction during experimental anemia
suggests its close relatedness with the human reticulocyte-type
15-lipoxygenase despite their differences in the positional specificity
of arachidonic acid oxygenation.
