Abstract

The metabolism of arachidonic acid by either cyclooxygenase or lipoxygenase is believed to play an important role in carcinogenesis. Leukotriene (LT) D4 is a proinflammmatory mediator derived from arachidonic acid through various enzymatic steps, and 5-lipoxygenase is an important factor in generating LTD4. We investigated LTD4 receptor (cysteinylLT1 receptor: CysLT1R) expression in prostate cancer (PC), as well as the effects of CysLT1R antagonist on cell proliferation in PC cell lines.
