Cloning and characterization of rat leukotriene B(4) receptor.

Leukotriene B(4) (LTB(4)) is a potent chemoattractant for neutrophils and eosinophils. cDNAs for LTB(4) receptor (BLT) have been cloned from human, mouse, and guinea pig. Here we report the isolation of BLT from rat genomic library. Rat BLT consists of 351 amino acids with homologies of 80.2, 93.2, and 71.6%, to human, mouse, and guinea pig BLT, respectively. When expressed in human embryonic kidney (HEK)-293 cells, rat BLT showed a specific and high-affinity binding to LTB(4) with a Kd value of 0.68 nM (mean, n = 3). Northern blot analysis showed that BLT is exclusively expressed in polymorphonuclear leukocytes. Furthermore, the expression of BLT was high in proteosepeptone-activated peritoneal macrophages, while the resident macrophages did not show significant expression. The present results suggest important roles of LTB(4) in macrophage recruitment and activation.
