We investigated using mice whether dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons express leukotriene 134 receptors. BLT1, but not BLT2, receptor mRNA was expressed in the DRG. Leukotriene B-4 increased intracellular Ca2+ concentration in cultured DRG neurons, which was inhibited by leukotriene B-4 antagonist. Many BLT1-immunoreactive neurons were small in size and positive for TRPV1. BLT1-immunoreactive fibers are present in the skin. The results suggest the expression of functional BLT1 receptors in the sensory neurons. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
