Leukotriene B-4, an arachidonate metabolite, is a potent chemoattractant of leukocytes involved in various inflammatory diseases. Two G-protein-coupled receptors for leukotriene B-4 have been cloned and characterized. BLT1 (Yokomizo, T., Izumi, T., Chang, K., Takuwa, Y., and Shimizu, T. (1997) Nature 387, 620-624) is a high affinity receptor exclusively expressed in leukocytes, and BLT2 (Yokomizo, T., Rate, K., Terawaki, K., Izumi, T., and Shimizu, T. (2000) J. Exp. Med. 192, 421-432) is a low affinity receptor expressed more ubiquitously. Here we report the binding profiles of various BLT antagonists and eicosanoids to either BLT1 or BLT2 using the membrane fractions of Chinese hamster ovary cells stably expressing the receptor. BLT antagonists are grouped into three classes: BLT1-specific U-75302, BLT2-specific LY255283, and BLT1/BLT2 dual-specific ZK 158252 and CP 195543. We also show that 12(S)-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid, 12(S)-hydroperxyeicosatetraenoic acid, and 15(S)-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid competed with [H-3]LTB4 binding to BLT2, but not BLT1, dose dependently. These eicosanoids also cause calcium mobilization and chemotaxis through BLT2, again in contrast to BLT1. These findings suggest that BLT2 functions as a low affinity receptor, with broader ligand specificity for various eicosanoids, and mediates distinct biological and pathophysiological roles from BLT1.
