Immunolocalization 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 کاملProstaglandin E2 Prevents Hyperosmolar-Induced Human Mast Cell Activation through Prostanoid Receptors EP2 and EP4
BACKGROUND Mast cells play a critical role in allergic and inflammatory diseases, including exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) in asthma. The mechanism underlying EIB is probably related to increased airway fluid osmolarity that activates mast cells to the release inflammatory mediators. These mediators then act on bronchial smooth muscle to cause bronchoconstriction. In parallel, prote...
متن کاملProstaglandin E2 is generally required for human dendritic cell migration and exerts its effect via EP2 and EP4 receptors.
The control of dendritic cell (DC) migration is pivotal for the initiation of cellular immune responses. In this study, we demonstrate that the migration of human monocyte-derived (Mo)DCs as well as of ex vivo peripheral blood DCs toward CCL21, CXCL12, and C5a is stringently dependent on the presence of the proinflammatory mediator PGE2, although DCs expressed CXCR4 and C5aR on their surface an...
متن کاملProstaglandin E2 promotes human CD34+ cells homing through EP2 and EP4 in vitro
Recently, certain studies have demonstrated in vitro that prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) promotes human cluster of differentiation (CD)34+ cell homing. However, the sub‑type receptors activated by PGE2 are unknown, as the PGE2 receptor EP1-4 subtypes (EP1-4) are expressed on the membrane of human CD34+ cells. Based on the above, the present study aimed to screen the receptor subtype activity by PGE2 t...
