Abstract

Leukotriene C(4) synthase (LTC(4)S), the terminal 5-lipoxygenase pathway enzyme that is responsible for the biosynthesis of cysteinyl leukotrienes, has been deleted by targeted gene disruption to define its tissue distribution and integrated pathway function in vitro and in vivo. The LTC(4)S (-/-) mice developed normally and were fertile. LTC(4)S activity, assessed by conjugation of leukotriene (LT) A(4) methyl ester with glutathione, was absent from tongue, spleen, and brain and > or = 90% reduced in lung, stomach, and colon of the LTC(4)S (-/-) mice. Bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMC) from the LTC(4)S (-/-) mice provided no LTC(4) in response to IgE-dependent activation. Exocytosis and the generation of prostaglandin D(2), LTB(4), and 5-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid by BMMC from LTC(4)S (-/-) mice and LTC(4)S (+/+) mice were similar, whereas the degraded product of LTA(4), 6-trans-LTB(4), was doubled in BMMC from LTC(4)S (-/-) mice because of lack of utilization. The zymosan-elicited intraperitoneal extravasation of plasma protein and the IgE-mediated passive cutaneous anaphylaxis in the ear were significantly diminished in the LTC(4)S (-/-) mice. These observations indicate that LTC(4)S, but not microsomal or cytosolic glu...Continue Reading
