Research Abstract |
12-HHT is a new lipid mediator which was identified as a natural ligand for BLT2. BLT2-deficient mice exhibited severe intestinal inflammation in mice colitis model. MDCK cells transfected with BLT2 exhibited enhanced barrier function as measured by transepithelial electrical resistance(TER) and FITC-dextran leakage. Thus, BLT2 appears to protect against colitis, possibly by enhancing barrier function in epithelial cells of the colon.
