Disease relevance of leukotriene C4

  • The importance of EPX and LTC4/D4 in the characterization of chronic symptomatic rhinitis was also observed [1].
  • These results suggest that renal production of LTC4 and LTB4 is increased in MRL-lpr/lpr mice with nephritis, and that enhanced production of peptidoleukotrienes causes reversible renal dysfunction [2].
  • LTC4 was detected in samples of NPS obtained in the acute phase of illness from 67% of infants with bronchiolitis due to RSV and in 33% of samples of NPS obtained during the same interval from infants with upper respiratory illness alone (p less than 0.025) [3].
  • In surviving patients, LTC4 concentrations correlated with sepsis severity score [4].
  • In patients who did not survive, the low LTC4 generation persisted throughout the observation period, whereas in surviving patients, its formation was normalized during convalescence [4].
 

High impact information on leukotriene C4

 

Chemical compound and disease context of leukotriene C4

  • In mouse mastocytoma ABMC-7 cells cultured chronically with CP-24879, there was a concentration-dependent inhibition of desaturase activity that correlated with the degree of depletion of AA and decreased production of leukotriene C4 (LTC4) [10].
  • In contrast to PMO from naive gerbils, PMO from animals with amoebic liver abscesses at 10, 20 and 30 days post-infection (p.i.) released high basal levels of PGE2 and LTC4 [11].
  • Azelastine shows anti-inflammatory properties in therapeutically relevant concentrations as assessed by its ability to reduce TNF alpha release as well as its ability to inhibit LTC4 production in allergically stimulated human nasal polyp cells [12].
 

Biological context of leukotriene C4

  • In rat basophilic leukemia-2H3 cells, Lyn thus plays a dual role by positively regulating Fc epsilonRI phosphorylation and degranulation while negatively regulating LTC4 production [13].
  • Both histamine and LTC4 release was inhibited by staurosporine and K-252a with an IC50 of 50 nM for both compounds [14].
  • CGS 8515 inhibited ovalbumen-induced decreases in cardiac developed tension at 0.3 and 1.0 microM, but did not antagonize coronary vasoconstriction induced by synthetic LTC4 [15].
  • 5. Indomethacin, the leukotriene C4/D4 (LTC4/D4) antagonist FPL 55712 or the blocker of nerve conduction, tetrodotoxin, had no effect on the contractile phase [16].
  • In vivo, LTC4 injection caused a pronounced but transient increase in pulmonary arterial pressure and pulmonary arterial wedge pressure (Ppw), with a smaller effect on left ventricular end-diastolic pressure [17].
 

Anatomical context of leukotriene C4

 

Associations of leukotriene C4 with other chemical compounds

  • Eosinophils exposed to 1,000 pM IL-3 for 30 min or cultured in 10 pM IL-3 for 7 d generated approximately threefold more leukotriene C4 (LTC4) in response to calcium ionophore than freshly isolated cells [8].
  • In contrast, LTC4 and LTD4 induced concentration-dependent contractions in atherosclerotic coronary arteries [18].
  • The present study compares prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), leukotriene C4 (LTC4), and LTB4 release by splenic and resident peritoneal M phi in 89Sr-treated mice and 88Sr controls following in vivo CP and in vitro incubation with zymosan, calcium ionophore A23187, or phorbol ester (PMA) [22].
  • The effect of GM-CSF on arachidonic acid metabolism to LTC4 reached a plateau with 60 min of incubation before stimulation with ionophore, and was characterized by an initial augmentation of the intracellular level of LTC4 and a subsequent increment in extracellular LTC4 [23].
  • Rolipram, an inhibitor of the low Km cAMP-specific PDE (PDE IV), inhibited the release of both histamine and LTC4 from activated basophils and increased cAMP levels in these cells [24].
 

Gene context of leukotriene C4

  • It has been demonstrated that extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK1/2) specifically regulate the pathway for LTC4 generation, but not for histamine release and interleukin-4 production [25].
  • These results, together with previous findings that both DNP-SG and LTC4 are good ligands for MRP, suggest that MRP is responsible for the unidirectional, energy-dependent efflux of organic anions from the brain into the circulating blood across the BBB [26].
  • Furthermore, etoposide inhibited LTC4 efflux, confirming the involvement of cMOAT [27].
  • A typical late phase kinetic was observed for IL-5, MCP-1, eotaxin, sVCAM-1, and LTC4 [28].
  • We conclude that in MCII mast cells cPLA2 is activated by kinase-dependent mechanisms and may be responsible for Fc epsilon RI-induced mobilization of arachidonic acid for the generation of LTC4 [29].
