Cysteinyl leukotriene 1 receptor influences intestinal polyp incidence in a gender-specific manner in the ApcMin/+ mouse model
(2016) In Carcinogenesis 37(5). p.491-499- Abstract
There is emerging literature emphasizing the role of inflammatory eicosanoids, including prostaglandins and leukotrienes, in cancer development. Increased expression of both the cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1 (CysLTR1) and the enzyme responsible for the production of leukotrienes, 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX), is associated with poor prognosis in patients with colorectal adenocarcinomas. Apc mutation is an early event in the development of sporadic and hereditary (FAP) colorectal cancer. We utilized the Apc(Min/+) mouse model of FAP/sporadic colorectal cancer to investigate the role of CysLTR1 in intestinal tumorigenesis by crossing Apc(Min/+) mice with mice lacking the Cysltr1 gene. We could observe a reduced tumor burden in the small... (More)

Increased expression of both the cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1 (CysLTR1) and the enzyme responsible for the production of leukotrienes, 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX), is associated with poor prognosis in patients with colorectal adenocarcinomas. Apc mutation is an early event in the development of sporadic and hereditary (FAP) colorectal cancer. We utilized the Apc(Min/+) mouse model of FAP/sporadic colorectal cancer to investigate the role of CysLTR1 in intestinal tumorigenesis by crossing Apc(Min/+) mice with mice lacking the Cysltr1 gene. We could observe a reduced tumor burden in the small intestine of double-mutant female (Cysltr1(-/-) Apc(Min/+)) but not double-mutant male mice, compared to gender-matched single-mutant (Cysltr1(+/+) Apc(Min/+)) mice. This reduction was in a Cysltr1 dependent manner, female double mutant mice having significantly reduced tumor formation compared to control littermates. The female double-mutant phenotype was accompanied with decreased systemic inflammation, as evidenced by significantly reduced serum levels of PGE2 and CysLTs, as well as increased CD3(+)CD8(+) T cell tumor infiltration. Furthermore, the reduced formation of polyps in double-mutant (Cysltr1(-/-) Apc(Min/+)) female mice could in part be explained by the cytotoxic action of CD3(+)CD8(+) T cells in the polyp and reduced nuclear accumulation of β-catenin in the epithelium of small intestinal polyps. Our results stress the important role that CysLTR1 plays in colorectal cancer and its potential as a therapeutic target in cancer therapy.
