We investigated whether leukotriene B4 (LTB4) and its signaling pathway play an important role in the progression of human colon cancer via a direct stimulation of cancer cell proliferation. Remarkable expression of LTB4 receptor 1 (BLT1) in human colon cancer tissues was detected by immunohistochem...
