Structural basis of leukotriene B4 receptor 1 activation [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2022 In the paper, Dr. Wang et al reported a cryo-EM structure of the human leukotriene B4 receptor 1 (BLT1) in complex with its native ligand leukotriene B4 (LTB4) in an active conformation complexed with Gi protein.

The role of leukotriene B4 in cow metritis [PDF]
Journal of Veterinary Research, 2023 Metritis is a common postpartum disease in dairy cows. As a mast cell (MC) mediator, leukotriene B4 (LTB4) is the strongest phagocyte chemokine. It is important in inflammation for the recruitment of immune cells to resist infection.

Elevated leukotriene B4 and 8-isoprostane in exhaled breath condensate from preterm-born infants [PDF]
BMC Pediatrics, 2023 Background Inflammation and oxidative stress play a key role in the development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), possibly contributing to persistent respiratory morbidity after preterm birth.

ATP and Formyl Peptides Facilitate Chemoattractant Leukotriene-B4 Synthesis and Drive Calcium Fluxes, Which May Contribute to Neutrophil Swarming at Sites of Cell Damage and Pathogens Invasion [PDF]
BiomedicinesHere, we demonstrate that human neutrophil interaction with the bacterium Salmonella typhimurium fuels leukotriene B4 synthesis induced by the chemoattractant fMLP.

Structural insights on ligand recognition at the human leukotriene B4 receptor 1 [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2021 Human leukotriene B4 receptors (BLT1 and BLT2) are members of the GPCR superfamily that respond to a potent pro-inflammatory lipid and chemoattractant LTB4.

Sulfur compounds navigate redox processes, leukotriene synthesis, and ω-hydroxylation of leukotriene B4 in neutrophil interaction with the bacteria Salmonella typhimurium: the way to manipulate neutrophil swarming [PDF]
Frontiers in ImmunologyNeutrophils are the first immune cells recruited by invading pathogens. During interaction with bacteria, neutrophils synthesize leukotriene B4, a potent chemoattractant that, in conjunction with the primary bacterial chemoattractant N-formyl-l-methionyl-

Leukotriene B4 levels in sputum from asthma patients [PDF]
ERJ Open Research, 2016 Poor asthma control is associated with increased airway neutrophils. Leukotriene B4 (LTB4) is a potent neutrophil chemoattractant. We examined the levels of LTB4 levels in the sputum of asthma patients and the relationship with disease severity.

An enzyme that inactivates the inflammatory mediator leukotriene b4 restricts mycobacterial infection. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 While tuberculosis susceptibility has historically been ascribed to failed inflammation, it is now known that an excess of leukotriene A4 hydrolase (LTA4H), which catalyzes the final step in leukotriene B4 (LTB4) synthesis, produces a hyperinflammatory ...
