Biochim Biophys Acta. Selective CysLT1R antagonists are widely prescribed as antiasthmatic drugs; however, these drugs demonstrate low effectiveness in some patients and exhibit … Thus, BLT2 receptors suppress allergic airways disease in mice and may function similarly in humans. [15][16][17] The mouse Blt2 receptor also shows a more limited distribution pattern than the human BLT2 receptor, showing appreciable expression in the small intestine and skin, and low expression in the colon and spleen.[17][18]. They may also be referred to as anti-inflammatory bronchoconstriction preventors. Neovascularization) and to alter the extracellular matrix; the three members of this subfamily, KRAS, NRAS (i.e. The response is mediated via a G-protein that activates a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system. BLT2 receptor protein and mRNA was found to be markedly elevated in human advanced pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasias in their primary pancreas sites as well as in lymph node metastasis sites; mRNA for BLT1 was also elevated in these tissues but to a ~5-fold greater extent. cfpc.ca.

[19][20] Thus, the most recently discovered ligand, 12-HHT, which does not bind to BLT1 receptors, shows by far the highest affinity of all of the tested ligands for BLT2 receptors. Leukotriene receptor antagonists are a pill treatment for asthma [...] and includes zafirlukast (accolate) and montelukast (singulair). The action of BLT2 receptors, similar to their actions on prostate cancer cells, appeared to involve the receptors activation of the NOX, reactive species of oxygen, NK-κB pathway. While initially defined as a low affinity receptor for the 5-lipoxygenase product of arachidonic acid metabolism, LTB4, BLT2 binds and is activated by not only LTB4 but also the cycloxygenase-thromboxane synthase enzyme pathway of arachidonic acid metabolism, 12-Hydroxyheptadecatrienoic acid (12-HHT) as well as by three products of the 12-lipoxygenase pathway of arachidonic acid metabolism, 12(S)-HETE, 12(S)-HpETE, and 12(R)-HETE (see 12-Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid, by a member of the 15-lipoxygenase pathway of arachidonic acid metabolism, 15(S)-HETE (see 15-Hydroxyicosatetraenoic acid), and by another member of the LTB4 family of arachidonic acid metabolites, 20-hydroxy-LTB4; the relative BLT2 receptor-binding affinities of these 7 metabolites are ~1000, 100, 10, 10, 3, 3, and 1, respectively. Contents . BLT receptors primarily mediate chemoattraction; BLT agonists being highly potent in the recruitment of neutrophils and to a lesser extent eosinophils to sites of inflammation. [17][18][21] LTB4R2 knockout mouse studies, therefore, may reveal a more limited role for the BLT2 receptor than that in humans. The expression of Blt2 receptors in mice appears limited to fewer tissues than the BLT2 receptor in humans; Blt1 is robustly expressed only in mouse small intestine and skin. CGS25019C: 4-(5-[4-{Aminoiminomethyl}phenoxy]-pentoxy)-3-methoxy-N,N-bis(1-methylethyl)-benzamide-(Z)-2-butenedioate [48] Lipopolysaccharide (i.e. Among these 7 ligand, in contrast, BLT1 binds and is activated by only LTB4 and 20-hydroxy-LTB4. The overexpression of BLT2 receptors in Bltr2 transgenic mice enhances the ability of subcutaneously injected LTB4 and 12-HETE to stimulate new blood vessel formation in skin. While BLT2 receptors have some actions similar to BLT1 receptors, they have other actions which clearly oppose those of BLT1 in regulating inflammation and allergic responses; BLT2 receptors also have actions that extend beyond those of BLT1 receptors. Chr Location Xq21.1; chrX:78271468-78327691 (-) GRCh38.p7. endotoxin) stimulates MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-435 cells to increase their invasiveness as determined with in vitro Matrigel Invasion Chamber assays; this effect appears due to its ability to induce the overexpression of BLT2 receptors, the enzymes which produce LTB4 and 12(S)-HETEs, and the key metabolites of these enzymes, LTB4 and 12(S)-HETE; furthermore, the latter the binding of the latter metabolites to cells overexpressed BLT2 receptors leads to the activation of NF-κB. Penning, T.D., Freland, D.J., Recent advances in leukotriene B4 receptor antagonist research.. Evans et al. SBML ... Leukotriene receptors bind leukotriene ligands. The name leukotriene introduced by SwedishThe name leukotriene introduced by Swedish biochemist Bengt samuelesson in 1979 comesbiochemist Bengt samuelesson in 1979 … Bäck, M., et al., International Union of Basic and Clinical Pharmacology. Both receptor types bind and are activated by a series of formylated oligopeptide chemotactic factors but FLP2 receptor appears to be a promiscuous receptor in that it also binds to and is activated by lipoxins and resolvins as well as various polypeptides and proteins. BLT2's binding pattern can only be considered as promiscuous. The human CysLT1 gene (gene symbol: CYSLTR1) is located on the X chromosome (Xq21.1) … Discovered several years after the leukotriene B4 receptor 1 (BLT1), BLT2 receptor binds leukotriene B4 (LTB4) with far lower affinity than the BLT1 receptor does and therefore has been termed the low affinity LTB4 receptor. Despite the association between BLT receptors and the activation of inflammatory cells, disappointing clinical findings suggest that selective BLT receptor antagonists are of limited use in the treatment of asthma. Sometime after its initial discovery, the BLT2 receptor was shown to bind and become activated by several other arachidonic acid metabolites, one of which, 12-hydroxyheptadecatrienoic acid (12-HHT), has 10- to 100-fold higher affinity for it than does LTB4; 12-HHT fails to bind or activate BLT1 receptors. CYSLTR2, by binding these cysteinyl LTs contributes to mediating various allergic and hypersensitivity reactions in humans. hMCs express both CysLT1 … U-75302: (5S)-6-[6-[(1E,3R,5Z)-3-Hydroxy-1,5-undecadienyl]-2-pyridinyl]-1,5-hexanediol Montelukast and zafirlukast have only mild to moderate beneficial effects at best, but are very safe. Leukotriene receptors have been classified into BLT and CysLT types to signify this basic level of selectivity, but there is also heterogeneity within both classes. Furthermore, other ligands interact with the leukotriene receptors. Leukotriene receptor antagonists (LTRA) are a new class of drugs for asthma treatment, available in tablet form. CysLT receptors mediate a range of other pro-inflammatory effects, such as constriction of airways and vascular smooth muscle, increased endothelial membrane permeability, leading to plasma exudation and edema, and an enhanced secretion of thick, viscous mucus. Vertebrate Homology Class 4837 1 ... J:67843 Maekawa A, et al., Identification in mice of two isoforms of the cysteinyl leukotriene 1 receptor that result from alternative splicing. Accolate; montelukast; Singulair; zafirlukast . Treatment with the BLT2 receptor antagonist, Ly255283, caused both cell lines to become apoptotic; furthermore, BLT2 receptor knockdown using interference mRNA caused LNCaP but not PWR-1E cell apoptosis. This article is cited by 57 publications. These studies also allow that BLT2 receptors play suppressive functions in other allergic diseases. While their optimal place in asthma management is still under review, LTRA represent an important advance in asthma pharmacotherapy. The two BLT4-like receptors in Zebrafish, Blt2a and Blt2b, when transfected into chinese hamster ovary cells, mediate rises in cytosolic calcium responses to both 12-HHT and LTB4 with 12-HHT being about 500- to 1000-fold stronger that LTB4 in doing so; 12-HHT is inactive in this assay in chinese hamster ovary cells made to express the Zebrafish LTB4 receptor-1 (Blt1). Human breast cancer often expresses and appears promoted by Ras proteins (see carcinogenesis and the Ras subfamily). Leukotriene receptor activity Specific Function Low-affinity receptor for leukotrienes including leukotriene B4. [12][13][14], The human BLT2 receptor is expressed in a wide range of tissues including spleen, blood leukocytes, liver, ovary, pancreas, heart, prostate gland, testes, small intestine, kidney, lung, colon, thymus, muscle, and placenta; this contrasts with the BLT1 receptor which appears to have a more limited expression pattern including mainly circulating blood leukocytes and lymphocytes. The proliferation of Caco-2 human epithelial colorectal adenocarcinoma cells in culture was stimulated by 12-HETE and inhibited by a somewhat selective inhibitor of 12-lipoxygenase, baicalein; the stimulatory effect of 12-HETE appeared due to its interaction with BLT2 receptors based on the effects of pharmacological inhibitors. One prominent cell-activating pathway involves BLT2 receptor activation of NOX2 or NOX1 with the subsequent production of reactive oxygen species which in turn activate the transcription inducing function of NF-κB. Compared to non-malignant IMR-90 and immortalized but non-malignant MCF-10A human breast cancer cell lines, MCF-7, ZR-75-1, T47-D, MDA-MB-231, MDA-MB-468, MDA-MB-453, and SK-BR-3 human breast cancer cell lines (see list of breast cancer cell lines) overexpress BLT2 mRNA and protein but show relatively little expression of BLT1 mRNA; treatment of the malignant but not non-malignant cells with a BLT2 antagonist, LY255283, but not a BLT1 antagonist, U75302, blocked proliferation of the cells in culture.

J Biol Chem 280:24816-24823(2005) [ PubMed ] [ Europe PMC ] [ Abstract ] Monkeys, rats, and dogs have also been shown to express LTB4R2 orthologs.[11]. cyclooxygenase or lipoxygenase) is responsible for any given BLT2-dependent response. The expression of 5-lipoxygenase, 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein, 12-lipoxygenase (enzymes synthesizing LTB4 and 12(S)-HETE, respectively) as wells as LTB4 and 12(S)-HETE were substantially elevated in these cells. [53] These results allow that BLT2 receptors may contribute to the malignant growth and metastasis of human pancreas cancer. cloned mouse CysLT1 and mouse CysLT2 . LY255283 also inhibited the peritoneum metastasis of intra-peritoneal injected SKOV-3 cells in athymic mice. It mediates chemotaxis of granulocytes and macrophages. [27] These results suggest that BLT2 receptors play critical roles in the development of VEGF-induced neovascularization and are of particular interest to the roles of BLT2 receptors in the growth and spread of cancers and in inflammation (see below). The stable over expression of BLT2 in AsPC-1, Colo357, and PANC-1 human pancreas cancer cell lines increased these cells' in vitro growth rates; specific BLT2 agonists also stimulated Colo367 and Panc-1 cell growth. The cysteinyl leukotrienes (cys-LTs) LTC4, LTD4, and LTE4 are a class of peptide-conjugated lipids formed from arachidonic acid and released during activation of mast cells (MCs). Elevated levels of LTB(4) have been reported in various allergic diseases and these levels have been related to disease activity and response to treatment.

LTRAs work by blocking a chemical reaction that can lead to inflammation in the airways. Austen and Funk et al. [11] Thus, BLT1 receptor exhibits exquisite specificity, binding 5(S),12(R)-dihydroxy-6Z,8E,10E,14Z-eicosatetraenoic acid (i.e. Both cell lines overexpress BLT2 receptors compared to the PWR-1E non-malignant human prostate cell line. LY-255283: 1-[5-Ethyl-2-hydroxy-4-[[6-methyl-6-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)heptyl]oxy]phenyl]ethanone The Table below contains accepted modulators and additional information. [31] Other studies, however, indicate that the role of BLT2 receptors in inflammation is directed toward other cell types than neutrophils and differs very much from that of BLT1 receptors. Leukotriene Receptor Antagonists. The forced expression of oncogenic Ras in cultured human MCF-10A breast cancer cells markedly up-regulates BLT2 receptors and this up-regulation appears essential for the epithelial–mesenchymal transition-promoting ability of Transforming growth factor beta in these cells; BLT2 receptors in these cells appear to stimulate the production of reactive oxygen species and activation of NF-κB and may thereby contribute to the metastatic ability of breast cancer.[50]. BAYu9773: 6(R)-(4′€™-Carboxyphenylthio)-5(S)-hydroxy-7(E),9(E),11(Z),14(Z)-eicosatetraenoic acid BLT2 is a Cell surface receptor that functions by recognizing, binding, and mediating responses to a particular set of messenger molecules or ligands. Introduction. There are four types of receptor in humans; two for leukotriene B4 and two for cysteinyl leukotrienes (Brink C et al, 2003). Since BLT2 receptors are significantly elevated in human breast cancer tissue compared to non-cancerous breast tissue,[48] the cited studies, when taken together, indicate that BLT2 receptors promote the malignant growth, invasiveness, metastasis and possibly anti-cancer drug resistance of not only cultured human breast cancer cells but also of human breast cancer. The G protein–coupled cysteinyl leukotriene receptor CysLT1R mediates inflammatory processes and plays a major role in numerous disorders, including asthma, allergic rhinitis, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. Interestingly, the promoter for the BLT1 receptor was later found to lie in the open reading frame of the gene for the BLT2 receptor. ONO 4057: 5-[2-(2-Carboxyethyl)-3-[6-(4-Methoxyphenyl)-5E-hexenyl]oxyphenoxy]valeric acid SC 53228: (+)-(S)-7-[3-[2(-Cyclopropylmethyl)-3-methoxy-4-[(methylamino)carbonyl]phenoxy]propoxy]-3,4-dihydro-8-propyl-2H-1-benzopyran-2-propanoic acid [24][26] More study is needed to determine if BLT2 receptors protect against other allergic and inflammatory responses and if they function similarly in humans. [33] Furthermore, BLT2 receptor knock-out mice mount of more severe intestinal inflammation response to dextran sodium sulfate than either wild type or BLT1 receptor knockout mice (see Knockout studies). Leukotrienes are central to the pathophysiology of acute asthma; Leukotrienes are synthesized from arachiodonic acid and released from membrane phospholipids when inflammatory cells are activated; Ltb4, LtD4, LtC4 and LE4 bind receptor (CysLT) on mast cells, eosinophils and alveolar macrophages … Leukotriene-receptor antagonists are the first novel class of antiasthma drugs to become available over the past three decades. The high affinity BLT2 receptor agonist, 12-HHT, stimulates in vitro chemotactic responses in human neutrophils,[29] suggesting that this receptor, similar to BLT1 receptors, contributes to inflammation by recruiting circulating blood neutrophils to disturbed tissue sites. BLT2 receptors stimulate cells to transiently elevated cytosolic calcium ion concentrations, thereby activating calcium-activated intracellular signaling molecules; it also stimulates cells to activate Extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs), Protein kinase B (also known as Akt), c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNKs), Janus kinase (JAK)-STAT protein (i.e. BLT agonists appear to have no direct effects on smooth muscle, and although they have been shown to elicit a contraction of airway smooth muscle in the guinea pig, this effect appears to be secondary to phospholipase C-induced mobilization of arachidonic acid from membrane phospholipids, and subsequent prostanoid generation.

[34][35] The highest levels of Ras mutations are found in adenocarcinoma of the pancreas (90%), colon (50%), and lung (30%)[36] Bos, 1989). In response to the oral administration of the inflammation-inducer dextran sodium sulfate, Blt2 receptor knockout mice, compared to wild type or Blt1 receptor knockout mice, exhibited: a) more severe colitis inflammation and body weight loss; b) increased mRNA expression for the pro-inflammatory cytokines interferon-γ, IL1B, and Interleukin 6, two pro-inflammatory chemokines viz., chemokine ligand 9 (also termed chemokine ligand 10) and chemokine 19 (CCL19), and metalloproteinases-3, -10, and -13 in inflamed colon tissues; c) enhanced accumulation of interferon-producing macrophages in affected colon tissues; d) increased phosphorylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (i.e. The classification into types and subtypes of LT receptor was based initially on functional data, using the natural agonists and a wide range of antagonists. Both receptors' mRNA were also expressed in a wide range of human pancreas cancer cell lines with BLT1 receptor mRNA ~2-fold greater than that for BLT2. This article incorporates text from the United States National Library of Medicine, which is in the public domain. Leukotriene B4 receptor 2, also known as BLT2, BLT2 receptor, and BLTR2, is an Integral membrane protein that is encoded by the LTB4R2 gene in humans and the Ltbr2 gene in mice.. The FLP2 receptor appears to be engaged primarily in dampening and resolving inflammation responses, actions which appear to be diametrically opposite to the pro-inflammatory actions of FLP1 receptors.
