Regulated Spatial Distribution of Cyclooxygenases and Lipoxygenases in Crohn's Ulcer by Yao Mao, Jian'an Ren, Jieshou Li

“…Results. (1) The spatial distribution of the three leading enzymes in arachidonic acid pathway—cyclooxygenase 2, 5-lipoxygenase, and 15-lipoxygenase-1—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. …”
