Leukotriene E4

Description

Description of Leukotriene E4 with associated disease summary

Cysteinyl-leukotrienes (Cys-LTs) including Leukotriene C4, Leukotriene D4, Leukotriene E4 (LTE4) are biosynthesized from arachidonic acids (AA) and may be mediators of airway obstruction, inflammation and fibrosis (Int. J. Occup. Med. Environ Health (2014)). Cys-LTs in EBC (Exhaled breath condensate) is seen as an inflammatory marker to distinguish asthmatic children from healthy children (Pediatr Allergy Immunol. (2008)). Cys-LTs were used to assess the severity of the following conditions or diseases: asthma, sleep apnea syndromes, rhinitis, sarcoidosis, bronchoconstriction, non-small-cell lung carcinoma, pneumoconiosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and respiratory sounds. Cys-LTs are involved in pathogenesis of lung inflammation due to air pollution (BMC Pulm. Med. (2014)). It was suggested that levels of Cys-LTs in EBC may be contributed by saliva contamination. Authors concluded the levels of Cys-LTs in EBC cannot be explained by saliva contamination (J Chromatogr B Analyt Technol Biomed Life Sci. (2011)). Levels of Cys-LTs in EBC were associated with clinical severity of asthma (Respir Med. (2009)). Quantifying Cys-LTs and Prostaglandin D2 in EBC could be useful in monitoring acute asthmatic airway inflammation (J Allergy Clin Immunol. (2008)). Antagonists of leukotriene receptor decreased LTE4 in EBC of atopic children with asthma. The reduction of LTE4 was dependent on the baseline values of LTE4 in EBC (J Allergy Clin. Immunol. (2006)). Cys-LTs in EBC may be useful as a non-invasive marker to assess airway inflammation and hyperreactivity in asthmatic children (Chest (2006)). Cys-LTs in EBC may have associations with reticular basement membrane thickening in asthmatic subjects (Respir. Res. (2006)). LTE4 concentrations were reduced by inhaled corticosteroid treatment in asthmatic children (J Allergy Clin Immunol. (2004)). Levels of Cys-LTs in EBC were reduced by a 5-day course of oral prednisone in children with an asthma exacerbation (Thorax. (2003)). Cys-LTs in EBC were reported undetectable with large variances in EBC. Leukotriene B4 was detected in EBC as a surrogate metabolite (J. Allergy Clin. Immunol. (2014)). Levels of Cys-LTs including Leukotriene C4, Leukotriene D4, Leukotriene E4, were mostly measured by using enzyme immunoassay (EIA) (BMC Pulm. Med. (2014)). A method was developed for identification and quantification of Cys-LTs by immunoaffinity separation and detecting by liquid chromatography combined with electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS) in EBC (J Chromatogr B Analyt Technol Biomed Life Sci. (2011)). Levels of Cys-LTs were reported varying widely in asthma and healthy subjects in EBC. EBC stands for the airway lining fluid which is diluted by water, so the inability of detection may be due to limits of assay detection. Authors conducted the experiments to compare two methods: lyophylization and solid-phase extraction (SPE). Authors concluded the efficiency and variability of recovery were better by using SPE than using lyophylization (J Allergy Clin Immunol.(2007)). Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) could be used to detect and quantify leukotrienes in EBC (Thorax. (2004)). Description of disease(s) related to Leukotriene E4:

Asthma

The level of Cys-LTs in EBC (Exhaled Breath Condensate) was higher in children with asthma than healthy children (BMC Pulm. Med. (2014)). LTE4 levels were higher in asthmatic smoker/non-smoker subjects than healthy controls (Clin. Chem. Lab. Med. (2013)). Levels of LTC4, LTD4, LTE4, Cys-LTs were higher in bronchial asthma than in healthy group (J Chromatogr B Analyt Technol Biomed Life Sci. (2011)). Levels of Cys-LTs were higher in asthma group than in healthy group in EBC, saliva and sputum (Clin Respir J. (2010)). Levels of Cys-LTs were significantly higher in severe (p < 0.001) and moderate (p < 0.05) asthma group compared to healthy group (Respir Med. (2009)). Levels of Cys-LTs were significantly higher in EBC in asthmatic children compared to healthy children (p = 0.002) (Pediatr Allergy Immunol. (2008)). Levels of Cys-LTs were significantly higher (p = 0.02) in adults with asthma than in healthy adults. Levels of Cys-LTs were significantly higher (p < 0.001) in hospitalized children with asthma using sample concentration with SPE (J Allergy Clin Immunol. (2007)). Levels of Cys-LTs were significantly higher in steroid-naïve patients with Aspirin-induced asthma compared to steroid-naïve patients with Aspirin-tolerate asthma and healthy controls (Am J Respir Crit Care Med. (2002)).

Sleep Apnea Syndromes

Elevated levels of Cys-LTs have been detected in EBC in children with obstructive apnea-hypopnea index (OAHI) more than 5 episodes/hour (Chest (2009)). Levels of Cys-LTs and LTE4 in EBC were elevated in children with sleep-disordered breathing (SDB; OAHI > 5/h) compared to children with mild SDB (p < 0.01) and controls (p < 0.01).

Rhinitis, Allergic, Perennial

Combining assessment of the change of peak nasal inspiratory flow with measurement of Cys-LTs in EBC, was able to discriminate children with allergic rhinitis and healthy children ( Arch Immunol Ther Exp (Warsz). (2013)).

Rhinitis

Levels of LTB4 and LTE4 in EBC were higher in seasonal allergic rhinitis patients than in healthy subjects. After the pollen season, the levels of LTB4 and LTE4 were decreased compared with levels in the season ( Allergy (2005) ).

Rhinitis, Allergic, Seasonal

Levels of LTB4 and LTE4 in EBC were increased significantly in patients with seasonal and postseasonal allergic rhinitis compared with healthy controls ( Ann Allergy Asthma Immunol. (2009)).

Sarcoidosis

Levels of Cys-LTs and 8-isoprostane in EBC were higher in sarcoidosis patients than in healthy subjects. It may be not recommended to measure the eicosanoids as markers for lacking of correlation with bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) lymphocyte (Chest (2007)).

Asthma, Aspirin-Induced

Level of LTE4 in EBC was higher in subjects with aspirin-intolerant asthma compared with subjects with aspirin-tolerant asthma and healthy subjects. Eicosanoid profiling in EBC could discriminate alterations in asthma, especially hypersensitivity to aspirin ( J Allergy Clin Immunol. (2011)).

Asthma, Occupational

Cys-LTs in EBC might be marker for quantify the severity of airway inflammation and oxidative stress for occupational asthma (Int J Occup Med Environ Health. (2014)).

Bronchoconstriction

Levels of Cys-LTs in EBC were higher in asthmatic children with exercise-induced bronchoconstriction compared with controls ( J Allergy Clin Immunol. (2005)).

Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung

Cys-LTs, LTB4 and 8-isoprostane have positive correlation with all measured mediators in BALF and in EBC. It suggested Cys-LTs. LTB4 and 8-isoprostane may be used as non-invasive markers to monitor non-small cell lung cancer ( Dis Markers. (2012)).

Lung Neoplasms

Cys-LTs, LTB4 and 8-isoprostane have positive correlation with all measured mediators in BALF and in EBC. It suggested Cys-LTs. LTB4 and 8-isoprostane may be used as non-invasive markers to monitor non-small cell lung cancer ( Dis Markers. (2012)).

Disease summary

Pneumoconiosis

Levels of LTD4 and LTE4 were higher in both asbestos exposure (p < 0.001) and silica exposure (p < 0.05), compared with controls in pneumoconiosis ( Ind Health. (2012) ).

Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive

Levels of Cys-LTs in EBC were higher in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease compared with healthy controls (p < 0.02) ( Arch Med Sci. (2012) ).

Respiratory Sounds

Levels of LTB4, LTE4 and nitrite in EBC were higher in children with wheezing episodes compared with healthy controls (p < 0.001; p < 0.001; p < 0.03). Levels of 8-isoprostane and nitrate were no difference between patients and healthy subjects (J Investig Allergol Clin Immunol. (2013)).
