EP2 Receptor Signaling Regulates Microglia Death.
The timely resolution of inflammation prevents continued tissue damage after an initial insult. In the brain, the death of activated microglia by apoptosis has been proposed as one mechanism to resolve brain inflammation. How microglial death is regulated after activation is still unclear. We reported that exposure to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and interleukin (IL)-13 together initially activates...
متن کاملProstaglandin E2 regulates amyloid precursor protein expression via the EP2 receptor in cultured rat microglia.
We investigated the effects of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) on amyloid precursor protein (APP) expression in cultured rat microglia. PGE2 treatment significantly increased the expression of APP holoprotein and was associated with an elevation in cyclic AMP (cAMP). Direct activation of adenylate cyclase with forskolin also increased APP expression. Co-treatment of microglia with PGE2 and the PKA inhi...
متن کاملProstaglandin E2 regulates Th17 cell differentiation and function through cyclic AMP and EP2/EP4 receptor signaling
Prostaglandins, particularly prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), play an important role during inflammation. This is exemplified by the clinical use of cyclooxygenase 2 inhibitors, which interfere with PGE2 synthesis, as effective antiinflammatory drugs. Here, we show that PGE2 directly promotes differentiation and proinflammatory functions of human and murine IL-17-producing T helper (Th17) cells. In hum...
متن کاملDeath receptor signaling.
Apoptosis or programmed cell death is a common property of multicellular organisms (Danial and Korsmeyer, 2004; Krammer, 2000). It can be triggered by a number of factors, including UVor γ-irradiation, chemotherapeutic drugs or signaling by death receptors (DR). The DR family is part of the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily (Bhardwaj and Aggarwal, 2003). Triggering members of the DR fa...
متن کاملA G protein‐coupled α7 nicotinic receptor regulates signaling and TNF‐α release in microglia
Acetylcholine activation of α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (α7 nAChRs) in microglia attenuates neuroinflammation and regulates TNF-α release. We used lipopolysaccharide to model inflammation in the microglial cell line EOC20 and examined signaling by the α7 nAChR. Co-immunoprecipitation experiments confirm that α7 nAChRs bind heterotrimeric G proteins in EOC20 cells. Interaction with Gαi ...
