Acute lung injury (ALI) is a prevalent disease associated with high mortality. 12/15-lipoxygenase (12/15-LO) is an enzyme producing 12-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (HETE) and 15-HETE from arachidonic acid. To test whether 12/15-LO is involved in increasing vascular permeability in the lung, we investigated the role of 12/15-LO in murine models of LPS-induced pulmonary inflammation and clinically relevant acid-induced ALI. The vascular permeability increase upon LPS inhalation was abolished in Alox15(-/-) mice lacking 12/15-LO and in wild-type mice after pharmacological blockade of 12/15-LO. Alox15(-/-) mice also showed improved gas exchange, reduced permeability increase, and prolonged survival in the acid-induced ALI model. Bone marrow chimeras and reconstitution experiments revealed that 12-HETE produced by hematopoietic cells regulates vascular permeability through a CXCR2-dependent mechanism. Our findings suggest that 12/15-LO-derived 12-HETE is a key mediator of vascular permeability in acute lung injury.
