Leukotriene B4 Inhibits L-Type Calcium Channels via p38 Signaling Pathway in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells.

Cell Physiol. Biochem. 37 , 1903-13, (2015)

Arachidonic acid (AA) and its metabolites are important endogenous lipid messengers. In this study, we test the effect of Leukotriene B4 (LTB4), a 5-lipoxygenase metabolite of AA, on L-type calcium channels in A7r5 rat aortic vascular smooth muscle cells.L-ty...

12-Hydroxyheptadecatrienoic acid promotes epidermal wound healing by accelerating keratinocyte migration via the BLT2 receptor.

J. Exp. Med. 211(6) , 1063-78, (2014)

Leukotriene B4 (LTB4) receptor type 2 (BLT2) is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) for 12(S)-hydroxyheptadeca-5Z,8E,10E-trienoic acid (12-HHT) and LTB4. Despite the well-defined proinflammatory roles of BLT1, the in vivo functions of BLT2 remain elusive. As ...

A leukotriene B4 receptor-2 is associated with paclitaxel resistance in MCF-7/DOX breast cancer cells.

Br. J. Cancer 109(2) , 351-9, (2013)

Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women. Although chemotherapeutic agents, such as paclitaxel, are effective treatments for the majority of breast cancer patients, recurrence is frequent and often leads to death. Thus, there is an urgent need to ...

Platelet microparticles are internalized in neutrophils via the concerted activity of 12-lipoxygenase and secreted phospholipase A2-IIA.

Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 112 , E3564-73, (2015)

Platelets are anucleated blood elements highly potent at generating extracellular vesicles (EVs) called microparticles (MPs). Whereas EVs are accepted as an important means of intercellular communication, the mechanisms underlying platelet MP internalization ...

Commonly used leukotriene B4 receptor antagonists possess intrinsic activity as agonists in human endothelial cells: Effects on calcium transients, adhesive events and mediator release.

Prostaglandins Leukot. Essent. Fatty Acids 84(3-4) , 109-12, (2011)

Leukotriene B4 (LTB4), a potent chemotactic and immune-modulating lipid mediator, signals via two receptors, BLT1 and BLT2, leading to pro-inflammatory responses in phagocytes. Recently, we reported that BLT1 is the predominating BLT on human umbilical vein e...

Effects of a BLT receptor antagonist on local and remote reperfusion injuries after transient ischemia of the superior mesenteric artery in rats.

Eur. J. Pharmacol. 403(1-2) , 121-8, (2000)

Reperfusion of ischemic vascular beds may lead to recruitment and activation of leukocytes, release of mediators of the inflammatory process and further injury to the affected vascular bed and to remote sites. Neutrophils appear to play a major role in the pa...

Zymosan-induced IL-8 release from human neutrophils involves activation via the CD11b/CD18 receptor and endogenous platelet-activating factor as an autocrine modulator.

J. Immunol. 152(11) , 5411-9, (1994)

We have investigated mechanisms that regulate the generation of IL-8 by human neutrophils on contact with zymosan particles in vitro. Zymosan stimulated IL-8 production, which increased with increasing particle numbers and was abolished by the protein synthes...

5-Lipoxygenase products modulate the activity of the 85-kDa phospholipase A2 in human neutrophils.

J. Biol. Chem. 270(44) , 26543-9, (1995)

Addition of submicromolar concentrations of arachidonic acid (AA) to human neutrophils induced a 2-fold increase in the activity of a cytosolic phospholipase A2 (PLA2) when measured using sonicated vesicles of 1-stearoyl-2-[14C]arachidonoylphosphatidylcholine...

LY255283, a novel leukotriene B4 receptor antagonist, limits activation of neutrophils and prevents acute lung injury induced by endotoxin in pigs.

Surgery 114(2) , 191-8, (1993)

Polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) have been implicated in the pathogenesis of the adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Because leukotriene B4 (LTB4) is a potent activator of PMNs, we sought to determine whether LY255283, an LTB4 receptor antagonist,...

Modulation of leukotriene B4 receptor-1 expression by dexamethasone: potential mechanism for enhanced neutrophil survival.

J. Immunol. 168(7) , 3570-6, (2002)

Glucocorticoids can down-regulate many inflammatory and immune responses and constitute a powerful therapeutic tool in a number of diseases. However, they have a somewhat paradoxical effect on neutrophils, in that they prolong their survival. Because leukotri...
