15(R)-Lipoxin A4
Based on 1 Customer Validation
15 (R)-Lipoxin A4 (15-epi-LXA4) is a specialized pro-resolving mediator and an acetylated derivative of COX2. 15 (R)-Lipoxin A4 is present in neurons. 15 (R)-Lipoxin A4 induces the SPM synthases ALOX12 and ALOX15, as well as the pro-resolving receptor ALX. 15 (R)-Lipoxin A4 inhibits protein kinases, including JNK1/2/3, Lyn, STAT-3 and STAT-6. 15 (R)-Lipoxin A4 enhances the release of pro-resolving mediators. 15 (R)-Lipoxin A4 alleviates the pro-inflammatory phenotype of tendon-derived stromal cells. 15 (R)-Lipoxin A4 promotes the resolution of neuroinflammation. 15 (R)-Lipoxin A4 is applicable to research related to achilles tendinitis, achilles tendon rupture and Alzheimer’s disease.

In Vitro
15 (R)-Lipoxin A4 (10 nM; 24 h) reduces the levels of proinflammatory eicosanoids and increases the levels of specific pro-resolving mediators in IL-1β-stimulated tendon matrix cells derived from tendinopathy[1].
15 (R)-Lipoxin A4 (10 nM; 24 h) reduces the levels of proinflammatory eicosanoids and increases the levels of pro-resolving mediators in tendon stromal cells derived from allergic rhinitis following stimulation with IL-1β[1].
15 (R)-Lipoxin A4 (10 nM; 24 h) upregulates the expressions of pro-resolving biosynthetic enzymes ALOX12, ALOX15 and receptor ALX in tendon stromal cells derived from tendinopathy and allergic rhinitis that are stimulated by IL-1β, and the mRNA level of ALOX15 increases significantly in both cell types[1].

Research Protocol for Inflammation-related Diseases
The NLRP3 inflammasome is a cytosolic innate immune signaling platform that integrates priming signals and danger-signal activation to promote caspase-1 activation, maturation of IL-1β and IL-18, and gasdermin D-mediated pyroptotic cell death. The core experimental logic is to determine whether inflammatory disease phenotypes are driven by increased NLRP3 expression, ASC-containing inflammasome assembly, caspase-1 cleavage, GSDMD cleavage, and extracellular release of IL-1β/IL-18 rather than by nonspecific cell injury alone. The pathway is strongly linked to inflammation-related disease phenotypes because monosodium urate crystals activate NALP3/NLRP3 inflammasome signaling in gout-like crystal inflammation, cholesterol crystals activate NLRP3 inflammasomes in atherogenesis models, and DSS-induced intestinal inflammation has been reported to involve NLRP3 inflammasome activity. However, experimental colitis studies also show context-dependent protective effects of NLRP3 inflammasome co

Research Protocol for Neurological Diseases
PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitophagy pathway is a mitochondrial quality-control signaling axis in which mitochondrial depolarization stabilizes PINK1 on damaged mitochondria, activates Parkin recruitment and E3 ubiquitin ligase activity, promotes ubiquitination of outer mitochondrial membrane proteins, recruits selective autophagy adaptors, and drives lysosomal degradation of damaged mitochondria. In neurological disease research, this pathway is experimentally important because neurons, especially dopaminergic neurons, are highly dependent on mitochondrial integrity, and defective mitochondrial turnover can lead to mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, impaired neuronal survival, α-synuclein accumulation, and neuroinflammatory damage-associated signals. The genetic disease link is strongest in Parkinson’s disease because mutations in PRKN/parkin cause autosomal recessive juvenile parkinsonism, mutations in PINK1 cause hereditary early-onset Parkinson’s disease, and Drosophila studie
