The peritoneal macrophage (M
) is the site of greatest 12/15-lipoxygenase (12/15-LOX) expression in the mouse; however, its immunoregulatory role in this tissue has not been explored. Herein, we show that 12/15-LOX is expressed by 95% of resident peritoneal CD11bhigh cells, with the remaining 5% being 12/15-LOX–. 12/15-LOX+ cells are phenotypically defined by high F4/80, SR-A, and Siglec1 expression, and enhanced IL-10 and G-CSF generation. In contrast, 12/15-LOX– cells are a dendritic cell population. Resident peritoneal M
numbers were significantly increased in 12/15-LOX–/– mice, suggesting alterations in migratory trafficking or cell differentiation in vivo. In vitro, M
from 12/15-LOX–/– mice exhibit multiple abnormalities in the regulation of cytokine/growth factor production both basally and after stimulation with Staphylococcus epidermidis cell-free supernatant. Resident adherent cells from 12/15-LOX–/– mice generate more IL-1, IL-3, GM-CSF, and IL-17, but less CCL5/RANTES than do cells from wild-type mice, while Staphylococcus epidermidis cell-free supernatant-elicited 12/15-LOX–/– adherent cells release less IL-12p40, IL-12p70, and RANTES, but more GM-CSF. This indicates a selective effect of 12/15-LOX on peritoneal cell cytokine production. In acute sterile peritonitis, 12/15-LOX+ cells and LOX products were cleared, then reappeared during the resolution phase. The peritoneal lavage of 12/15-LOX–/– mice showed elevated TGF-β1, along with increased immigration of monocytes/M
, but decreases in several cytokines including RANTES/CCL5, MCP-1/CCL2, G-CSF, IL-12-p40, IL-17, and TNF-
. No changes in neutrophil or lymphocyte numbers were seen. In summary, endogenous 12/15-LOX defines the resident M
population and regulates both the recruitment of monocytes/M
and cytokine response to bacterial products in vivo.
