Leukocyte-type 12/15-lipoxygenase is essential for timely inflammation-resolution and effective tissue regeneration following skeletal muscle injury
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Unlike traditional anti-inflammatory therapies which may interfere with musculoskeletal tissue repair, pharmacological administration of specialized pro-resolving lipid mediators (SPMs) can promote timely resolution of inflammation while stimulating skeletal muscle regeneration. Despite this, the potential role of endogenous inflammation-resolution circuits in skeletal muscle injury and repair remains unknown. Here, we investigated the effect of whole-body knockout of leukocyte-type 12/15-lipoxygenase (12/15-LOX) on acute inflammation and regeneration following skeletal muscle injury in mice. Prior to muscle injury, Alox15 -/- mice displayed lower intramuscular concentrations of 12/15-LOX-derived lipid mediators than wild type (WT) mice, and this was associated with chronic low-grade muscle inflammation. Alox15 -/- mice mounted an exaggerated acute immune response to sterile skeletal muscle injury which was associated with a local imbalance of pro-inflammatory vs. pro-resolving lipid mediators. During the regenerative phase, Alox15 -/- mice displayed defects in myogenic gene expression, myofiber size, and myonuclear accretion. Mechanistically, bone marrow-derived macrophages (MФ) obtained from Alox15 -/- mice produced less 12/15-LOX-derived lipid mediators and this was associated with impaired M2 polarization. Isolated myogenic progenitor cells also produced many LOX metabolites in response to long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (LC-PUFA) supplementation, including bioactive SPMs. Alox15 -/- myoblasts were both impaired in their ability to produce SPMs and were insensitive to the stimulatory effect of LC-PUFAs on in vitro myogenesis. These data show that the 12/15-LOX pathway is essential for timely resolution of acute inflammation and direct determination of myogenic progenitor cell fate following skeletal muscle injury.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
