Regulated Spatial Distribution of Cyclooxygenases and Lipoxygenases in Crohn's Ulcer

“…<emph>Results</emph>. (1) The spatial distribution of the three leading enzymes in arachidonic acid pathway&#8212;cyclooxygenase 2, 5-lipoxygenase, and 15-lipoxygenase-1&#8212;followed sequential arrangement in Crohn's ulcer: neutrophils highly expressing 5-lipoxygenase were in the utmost surface which bordered the band of cyclooxygenase-2 expression that is located just beneath it, and in the lower layers and below the granulation region were eosinophils carrying 15-lipoxygeanse-1. (2) Cyclooxygenase-2 and 15-Lipoxygenase-1-positive cells formed two barrier-like structures that possibly inhibited neutrophil infiltration. …”
