Cysteinyl Leukotriene Receptor Antagonists Decrease Cancer Risk in Asthma Patients
Previous in vitro and in vivo studies have demonstrated the potential of using cysteinyl leukotriene receptor antagonists (LTRAs) for chemoprevention, but this has not been investigated in any clinical setting. We therefore investigated the chemopreventive effect of LTRAs in a nationwide population-based study. From the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database, we enrolled adults with...
متن کاملPathophysiology of the cysteinyl leukotrienes and effects of leukotriene receptor antagonists in asthma.
Cysteinyl leukotrienes, synthesized de novo from cell membrane phospholipids, are proinflammatory mediators that play an important role in the pathophysiology of asthma. These mediators are among the most potent of bronchoconstrictors and cause vasodilation, increased microvascular permeability, exudation of macromolecules and edema. The cysteinyl leukotrienes also have potent chemoattractant p...
متن کاملLeukotriene receptor antagonists and biosynthesis inhibitors: potential breakthrough in asthma therapy.
Cysteinyl leukotrienes are potent bronchoconstrictors, inducers of airway microvascular leakage and oedema, and of mucus secretion, in addition to causing an eosinophilic airway infiltration. Increased urinary excretion of the cysteinyl leukotriene E4 (LTE4) has been demonstrated following allergen challenge and during acute asthma attacks. Strategies for inhibition of cysteinyl leukotriene eff...
متن کاملMontelukast: its role in the treatment of childhood asthma
The cysteinyl leukotrienes, LTC(4), LTD(4), and LTE(4), play an integral role in the pathophysiology of asthma. Acting via the type 1 leukotriene (CysLT(1)) receptor, these proinflammatory mediators have numerous effects in the lungs, including decreased activity of respiratory cilia, increased mucus secretion, increased venopermeability, and promotion of eosinophil migration into airway mucosa...
متن کاملAspirin-Exacerbated Asthma
: This review focuses on aspirin-exacerbated asthma (AEA). The review includes historical perspective of aspirin, prevalence, pathogenesis, clinical features and treatment of AEA. The pathogenesis of AEA involves the cyclooxygenase and lipooxygenase pathway. Aspirin affects both of these pathways by inhibiting the enzyme cycooxygenase-1 (COX-1). Inhibition of COX-1 leads to a decrease in prosta...
