  • Title: [Research advance in cysteinyl leukotriene receptors with brain injury].
    Author: Zhang LH, Zho JB, Wang YF.
    Journal: Zhejiang Da Xue Xue Bao Yi Xue Ban; 2008 May; 37(3):315-20. PubMed ID: 18546539.
    Abstract:
    Based on the findings recently reported, cysteinyl leukotriene receptors, both CysLT (1) and CysLT(2) receptors, are involved in the ischemic and traumatic brain injury in vivo. CysLT(1)receptor regulates the increased permeability of blood-brain barrier and the related vasogenic brain edema, astrocyte proliferation, and inflammatory responses after brain ischemia; while CysLT(2)receptor regulates AQP4 expression and the related cytotoxic brain edema, and astrocyte injury. A new subtype of CysLT receptor, GPR17, is also involved in brain ischemic injury. The roles of CysLT receptors in brain injury or neuroprotection from the injury should be further understood. This understanding is necessary to accelerate the screening and development of the new drugs for the prevention and treatment of brain injury with the receptors as therapeutic targets.
