LTB4 is present in exudative pleural effusions and contributes actively to neutrophil recruitment in the inflamed pleural space

SUMMARY The pleural space is a virtual compartment between the lung and chest wall that becomes filled with fluid and inflammatory cells during a variety of respiratory diseases. Here, we study the potential role of the eicosanoid metabolite leukotriene B4 (LTB4) in disparate diseases leading to acute (pneumonia) or chronic (tuberculosis, cancer) inflammation of the pleural space. LTB4 concentrations were significantly higher in pleural fluid due to pneumonia, tuberculosis and cancer with respect to congestive heart failure and correlated with neutrophil elastase, which is used as an indication of state of activation of neutrophils in the pleural space. Moreover, pleural LTB4 was biological…

Role of PGE2 in the invasiveness, growth and protection of cancer cells in malignant pleuritis

Abstract The recurrence of pleural effusions is a common event in a variety of neoplastic diseases. The objective of this study was to identify the mechanisms promoting the homing and growth of cancer cells within the pleural space. A cancer cell line recovered from malignant pleural fluids (lung adenocarcinoma cell line) that constitutively expresses cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) and all types of prostaglandin receptors was studied. It was first demonstrated using a matrigel system, that malignant pleural fluids increase the invasiveness of adenocarcinoma cells more than congestive heart failure (CHF) pleural fluids. Moreover, exposure to exudative malignant, but not to CHF pleural fluids, incr…
