Leukotriene D(4)-induced Rho-mediated actin reorganization in human bronchial smooth muscle cells.
We investigated the role of cysteinyl leukotriene (CysLT) receptors on leukotriene D(4)-induced actin reorganization and the signaling pathways of the response in human bronchial smooth muscle cells. The effects of leukotriene D(4) on actin reorganization in human bronchial smooth muscle cells were evaluated by dual-fluorescence labeling of filamentous (F) and monomeric (G) actin with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-labeled phalloidin and Texas Red-labeled DNase I, respectively. Leukotriene D(4) (100 nM) induced actin reorganization in the presence and absence of extracellular Ca(2+). The CysLT type 1 (CysLT(1)) receptor antagonist ONO 1078 (4-oxo-8(-)[p-(4-phenylbutyloxy) benzoylamino]-2-(tetrazol-5-yl)-4H-1-benzopyran hemihydrate) inhibited leukotriene D(4)-induced actin reorganization. Pretreatment with pertussis toxin, C3 exoenzyme, or tyrosine kinase inhibitors significantly reduced leukotriene D(4)-induced actin reorganization. However, phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase and protein kinase C inhibitors had little effect on these responses. These results suggest that leukotriene D(4)-induced actin reorganization in human bronchial smooth muscle cells is extremely dependent on the CysLT(1) receptor coupled with pertussis toxin-sensitive G protein, Rho GTPases and tyrosine phosphorylation pathways.
