The Leukotriene B4 Receptor (BLT1) Is Required for Effector CD8+ T Cell-Mediated, Mast Cell-Dependent Airway Hyperresponsiveness

Abstract: Studies in both humans and rodents have suggested that CD8+ T cells contribute to the development of airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) and that leukotriene B4 (LTB4) is involved in the chemotaxis of effector CD8+ T cells (TEFF) to the lung by virtue of their expression of BLT1, the receptor for LTB4. In the present study, we used a mast cell-CD8-dependent model of AHR to further define the role of BLT1 in CD8+ T cell-mediated AHR. C57BL/6+/+ and CD8-deficient (CD8−/−) mice were passively sensitized with anti-OV… Show more

“…Considering the major role of LTB 4 and cys-LTs in mast cell biology and infl ammatory regulation ( 6,7,10 ), the phenotype-specifi c differences in concentration and relative abundance of LTC 4 versus LTB 4 will most likely have biological implications. For example, numerous studies have established the impact of LTs in recruitment of T-cells and dendritic cells and in development of allergic airway disease ( 11,12,50 ). Data also indicate that LTC 4 and LTD 4 are key players in fi brosis and vascular injury via the CysLT2 receptor, and they have been implicated in the pathogenesis of human abdominal aortic aneurysm ( 17,18,51 ).…”

“…Mast cells in the periphery enhance effector T cell recruitment directly by the production of chemoattractants. LTB 4 from mast cells recruits CD8 cells, 104 and IL-16 recruits CD4 cells. 46 Mast cells also recruit effector T cells indirectly by their cytokine activation of local vascular endothelia enhancing the expression of intercellular adhesion molecule 1 and vascular cellular adhesion molecule, leukocyte adherence, and transmigration.…”
