  2. 1. Signalling and trafficking of the cysteinyl leukotriene receptors in intestinal epithelial cells

    Author : Ladan Parhamifar; Malmö Cellpatologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; trafficking; Cysteinyl leukotriene receptors; inflammation; cytosolic phospholipase A2; colon cancer;

    Abstract : Inflammation is a response to injury or pathogen invasion. A large proportion of the bodie's immune system is centred in the gastrointestinal tract (GI). Prolonged inflammatory conditions of the GI have been suggested to increase the risk for developing colon cancer. READ MORE

  4. 2. Signaling and regulation of cysteinyl leukotriene receptors in intestinal epithelial cells and colon cancer

    Author : Astrid Bengtsson; Malmö Cellpatologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TNF alpha; COX-2; interferon alpha; all-trans retinoic acid; EGF; inflammation; colorectal cancer; CysLT2R; Leukotriene; CysLT1R;

    Abstract : Colorectal cancer is the third most common type of cancer, and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the Western world. Chronic inflammation, such as inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), increases the risk of cancer. Cysteinyl leukotrienes are pro-inflammatory mediators that are involved in IBD. READ MORE

    Abstract : The cysteinyl leukotrienes (leukotriene C4, D4 and E4) have potent biological actions which significantly contribute to the airway obstruction in asthma. Several of these effects are blocked by drugs known as CysLT1-receptor antagonists, which have been introduced as new treatment for asthma. READ MORE

  7. 5. Leukotrienes and leukotriene receptors : potential roles in cardiovascular diseases

    Author : Hong Qiu; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Leukotrienes (LTs) are a family of lipid mediators that are involved in host defense and inflammatory responses. They are synthesized from arachidonic acid through the 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) pathway, and are divided into two classes, the classical chemoattractant leukotriene B4 (LTB4), and spasmogenic cysteinyl leukotrienes (cys-Us) including LTC4, LTD4 and LTE4.
