The ETS domain-containing hematopoietic transcription factor PU.1 mediates the induction of arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase by multi-walled carbon nanotubes in macrophages in vitro

Published by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention | U.S. Department of Health & Human Services | Catalog Last Checked: August 13, 2026 at 12:49 AM | Dataset Last Updated: January 14, 2026
Fibrogenic multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) polarize macrophages to M1 cells with elevated production of proinflammatory lipid mediators (LMs) to boost acute inflammation. Here we examined the mechanism by which MWCNTs (Mitsui-7) induce arachidonate 5-lypoxygenase (Alox5) critical for production of chemotactic LM leukotriene B4 (LTB4) in murine and human macrophages.
