    Background

    Hematopoietic prostaglandin D synthase (HPGDS) is a key enzyme in prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) biosynthesis. Studies show that Tuft-2 cells, a type of intestinal epithelial cell, sense bacterial metabolite N-undecanoylglycine (N-C11-G) and initiate PGD2 biosynthesis. PGD2 enhances the mucus secretion of goblet cells and, therefore, antibacterial immunity. HPGDS deletion in Tuft-2 cells leads to inadequate mucus secretion (1). In addition, HPGDS expression is downregulated in immunosuppressive tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) in melanomas by TNFα released from activated T cells. This reduces PGD2 biosynthesis in TAMs and promotes an antitumoral tumor microenvironment (2). Furthermore, lipid metabolism was shown to be dysfunctional 15 years before the onset of Parkinson’s disease (PD), and plasma HPGDS levels continued to decline before PD diagnosis (3). HPGDS may play a role in PD pathogenesis (4).
