متن کاملImmunolocalization of the four prostaglandin E2 receptor proteins EP1, EP2, EP3, and EP4 in human kidney.
Four prostaglandin E2 receptor subtypes designated EP1, EP2, EP3, and EP4 have been shown to mediate a variety of effects of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) on glomerular hemodynamics, tubular salt and water reabsorption, and on blood vessels in the human kidney. Despite the important role of renal PGE2, the localization of PGE2 receptor proteins in the human kidney is unknown. The present study used a...
متن کاملBlockade of prostaglandin E2 signaling through EP1 and EP3 receptors attenuates Flt3L-dependent dendritic cell development from hematopoietic progenitor cells.
Dendritic cell (DC) homeostasis, like all mature blood cells, is maintained via hierarchal generation from hematopoietic precursors; however, little is known about the regulatory mechanisms governing DC generation. Here, we show that prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) is required for optimal Flt3 ligand-mediated DC development and regulates expression of the Flt3 receptor on DC-committed progenitor ce...
متن کاملProstaglandin receptors EP2, EP3, and IP mediate exudate formation in carrageenin-induced mouse pleurisy.
The roles of prostaglandins (PGs) as mediators of inflammation have been extensively studied, and production of PGI2 and PGE2 at inflammatory sites has been reported. However, it has not yet been clarified which type of PG receptors has a major role in inflammatory exudation. To examine in vivo role of PG receptors in inflammatory exudation, we induced pleurisy in PG receptors (IP, EP1, EP2, EP...
متن کاملDirect vasoconstrictor effect of prostaglandin E2 on renal interlobular arteries: role of the EP3 receptor.
Evidence indicates that prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) preferentially affects preglomerular renal vessels. However, whether this is limited to small-caliber arterioles or whether larger vessels farther upstream also respond to PGE(2) is currently unclear. In the present study, we first investigated the effects of PGE(2) along the preglomerular vascular tree and subsequently focused on proximal int...
