Endoglin regulates cyclooxygenase-2 expression and activity.
The endoglin heterozygous (Eng(+/-)) mouse, which serves as a model of hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT), was shown to express reduced levels of endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) with impaired activity. Because of intricate changes in vasomotor function in the Eng(+/-) mice and the potential interactions between the NO- and prostaglandin-producing pathways, we assessed the expression and...
متن کاملCyclooxygenase-2-derived endogenous prostacyclin enhances mouse embryo hatching.
INTRODUCTION The role of prostaglandins (PGs) in embryo hatching remains controversial. In addition, there is no direct evidence that mouse embryos synthesize PGs. METHODS The effects of endogenous PG on mouse embryo hatching were evaluated by blocking endogenous PG synthesis with indomethacin. Specific cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitors were used to identify the role of COX-1- and COX-2-derived...
متن کاملEndogenous Methanol Regulates Mammalian Gene Activity
We recently showed that methanol emitted by wounded plants might function as a signaling molecule for plant-to-plant and plant-to-animal communications. In mammals, methanol is considered a poison because the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) converts methanol into toxic formaldehyde. However, the detection of methanol in the blood and exhaled air of healthy volunteers suggests that methanol m...
متن کاملApoptotic and proliferative activity of mouse gastric mucosa following oral administration of fumonisin B1
Objective(s):Fumonisins are a group of toxic and carcinogenic mycotoxins, which contaminate the grains and their products. The aim of this study was to examine the apoptotic and proliferative activity of mouse gastric mucosa following administration of fumonisin B1 (FB1). Materials and Methods: Twenty-nine female mice divided into treatment (n=15) and control (n=14) groups. The treatment gro...
متن کاملParaquat Exposure Up-regulates Cyclooxygenase-2 in the Lungs, Liver and Kidneys in Rats
Paraquat is a commonly used herbicide in many countries which can lead to systematic poisoning on exposure, In this study, paraquat (PQ)-induced changes in the expression of Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) along with biochemical and histopathological changes in the lungs, liver and kidneys were studied. Twenty four male Wistar rats (180-200 g) were exposed either against saline as control group or var...
