The Importance of Leukotrienes in Mast Cell-Mediated Toxoplasma gondii Cytotoxicity

Mast cells participate in the host defense against parasites. Mast cells release leukotrienes (LTs), potent 5-lipoxygenase (LO) products of arachidonic acid well-known to be involved in the inflammatory process. After incubation with Toxoplasma gondii, mast cells were found to degranulate and releas...

description Mast cells participate in the host defense against parasites. Mast cells release leukotrienes (LTs), potent 5-lipoxygenase (LO) products of arachidonic acid well-known to be involved in the inflammatory process. After incubation with Toxoplasma gondii, mast cells were found to degranulate and release LTB4; this interaction damages the tachyzoites. This mast cell activity against the tachyzoites was inhibited by the 5-LO inhibitor A-63162 and the 5-LO-activating protein inhibitor MK-886 but not by the cyclooxygenase inhibitor indomethacin. Reactive oxygen species were not implicated in the mast cell-mediated toxoplasmacidal activity. The generation of LTs is important for mast cell secretion, and LTB4 released by mast cells and other inflammatory cells may be a key factor in the host defense against T. gondii.
