描述 | Prostaglandin (PG) D synthase (PGDS) catalyzes the isomerization of PGH(2) to PGD(2), which acts as an endogenous somnogen and an allergic mediator. There are two distinct types of PGDS: one is lipocalin-type PGDS (L-PGDS) localized in the central nervous system, male genitals, and heart; and the other is hematopoietic PGDS (H-PGDS) in mast cells and Th2 lymphocytes. L-PGDS is the same as beta-trace, a major protein in human cerebrospinal fluid, and is also secreted into the seminal plasma and plasma. The L-PGDS concentration in various body fluids is useful as a marker for various diseases such as renal failure and coronary atherosclerosis. H-PGDS is a cytosolic enzyme and is a member of the Sigma class of glutathione S-transferase[2]. AT-56 is an orally active and selective inhibitor of L-PGDS. AT-56 inhibited human and mouse L-PGDSs in a concentration (3-250 microm)-dependent manner but did not affect the activities of H-PGDS, cyclooxygenase-1 and -2, and microsomal PGE synthase-1. AT-56 inhibited the production of PGD(2) by L-PGDS-expressing human TE-671 cells after stimulation with Ca(2+) ionophore (5 microm A23187) with an IC(50) value of about 3 microm without affecting their production of PGE(2) and PGF(2alpha) but had no effect on the PGD(2) production by H-PGDS-expressing human megakaryocytes.Orally administered AT-56 (<30 mg/kg body weight) decreased the PGD(2) production to 40% in the brain of H-PGDS-deficient mice after a stab wound injury in a dose-dependent manner without affecting the production of PGE(2) and PGF(2alpha) and also suppressed the accumulation of eosinophils and monocytes in the bronco-alveolar lavage fluid from the antigen-induced lung inflammation model of human L-PGDS-transgenic mice[3]. |
