Background: Leukotriene (LT) E-4 is the final active metabolite among the cysteinyl leukotrienes (CysLTs). Animal studies have identified a distinct LTE4 receptor, suggesting that current cysteinyl leukotriene type 1 (CysLT(1)) receptor antagonists can provide incomplete inhibition of CysLT responses.Objective: We tested this hypothesis by assessing the influence of the CysLT(1) antagonist montelukast on responses induced by means of inhalation of LTE4 in asthmatic patients.Methods: Fourteen patients with mild intermittent asthma and 2 patients with aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease received 20 mg of montelukast twice daily and placebo for 5 to 7 days in a randomized, double-blind, crossover study (NCT01841164). The PD20 value was determined at the end of each treatment period based on an increasing dose challenge. Measurements included lipid mediators in urine and sputum cells 4 hours after LTE4 challenge.Results: Montelukast completely blocked LTE4-induced bronchoconstriction. Despite tolerating an at least 10 times higher dose of LTE4 after montelukast, there was no difference in the percentage of eosinophils in sputum. Urinary excretion of all major lipid mediators increased after LTE4 inhalation. Montelukast blocked release of the mast cell product prostaglandin (PG) D-2, as well as release of PGF(2 alpha) and thromboxane (Tx) A(2), but not increased excretion of PGE(2) and its metabolites or isoprostanes.Conclusion: LTE4 induces airflow obstruction and mast cell activation through the CysLT(1) receptor.
