In this study, luteolin-7-O-glucoside (L7G), an herbal medicine isolated from Ailanthus altissima, inhibited 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX)-dependent leukotriene C(4) (LTC(4)) production in bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMCs) in a concentration-dependent manner with an IC(50) of 3.0 µM. To determine the action mechanism of L7G, we performed immunoblotting for cytosolic phospholipase A(2) (cPLA(2)) and mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) following c-kit ligand (KL)-induced activation of BMMCs with or without L7G. Inhibition of LTC(4) production by L7G was accompanied by a decrease in cPLA(2) phosphorylation, which occurred via the extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase-1/2 (ERK1/2) and p38 and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) pathways. In addition, L7G also attenuated mast cell degranulation in a dose-dependent manner (IC(50), 22.8 µM) through inhibition of phospholipase Cγ1 (PLCγ1) phosphorylation. Our results suggest that the anti-asthmatic activity of L7G may be mediated in part via the inhibition of LTC(4) generation and mast cell degranulation.
