Induction of COX - 2 and down - regulation of COX - 1 expression by LPS control prostaglandin E 2 production in astrocytes *
Background: The relative contribution of COX2 and COX-1 to prostanoid formation under neuroinflammation is complex. Results: LPS induced COX-2 and mPGES1 but down-regulated COX-1 and TS in astroglia. These effects accounted for high production of PGE2. Conclusion: PGE2 after LPS results from the coordinated COX-2 up-regulation and COX-1 down-regulation in astrocytes. Significance: Changes in CO...
متن کاملRegulation of cytosolic COX-2 and prostaglandin E2 production by nitric oxide in activated murine macrophages.
Murine macrophages (RAW 264.7) when stimulated with LPS show 90% distribution of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in the nuclear fraction and approximately 10% in the cytosolic fraction. Further analysis of this cytosolic fraction at 100,000 x g indicates that the COX-2 is distributed both in the 100,000 x g soluble fraction and membrane fraction. Stimulation of RAW 264.7 cells with LPS in the presence...
متن کاملThiazolidinedione Derivative Suppresses LPS-induced COX-2 Expression and NO Production in RAW 264.7 Macrophages
The present study was designed to investigate the inhibitory effect of 2,4 bis-[(4-ethoxyphenyl)azo] 5-(3-hydroxybenzylidene) thiazolidine-2,4-dione (TZD-OCH2CH3) on the cyclo-oxygenase-2 (COX-2) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in RAW 264.7 cells. The effects of TZD-OCH2CH3 on COX-2 and iNOS mRNA expression in LPS-activated RAW 264.7 cells ...

متن کاملDifferential usage of COX-1 and COX-2 in prostaglandin production by mast cells and basophils
Basophils have been erroneously considered as minor relatives of mast cells, due to some phenotypic similarity between them. While recent studies have revealed non-redundant roles for basophils in various immune responses, basophil-derived effector molecules, including lipid mediators, remain poorly characterized, compared to mast cell-derived ones. Here we analyzed and compared eicosanoids pro...
