Inhibition of cyclooxygenase-2 expression by zinc-chelator in retinal ischemia
The zinc ion (Zn2+) is abundant in neurons. However, excessive Zn2+ can induce neuronal cell death. This study examined the role of Zn2+ in transient retinal ischemia in adult male rats. The rats were sacrificed 4-24 h after retinal ischemia by high intra-ocular pressure, and the retinas were prepared for microscopic examination of retinal cell degeneration, and fluorescence microscopy using zi...
متن کاملExpression of cyclooxygenase-2 in melanocytic skin lesions by immunohistochemistry
Introduction: cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is involved in pathogenesis of various tumors and possibly malignant skin tumors including malignant melanoma; however, there is not enough information about COX-2 expression in benign melanocytic lesions. In the present study we compared the expression levels of COX-2 in malignant melanoma and benign melanocytic lesions. Method: In this analytical study, ...
متن کاملInhibition of Cyclooxygenase Type 1 and 2 Enzyme by Aqueous Extract of Elaeagnus Angustifolia in Mice
Introduction: It has been shown that the extract of Elaeagnus angustifolia can inhibit inflammation and pain induced by formalin in mice and rats. The aim of the present study is to reach evaluations of possible cellular and molecular mechanisms of Elaeagnus angustifolia extract in reducing pain and inflammation through examining the extract ability for inhibition of cyclooxygenase (Cox) type ...
متن کاملCyclooxygenase-2 expression and inhibition in atherothrombosis.
Arachidonic acid metabolism plays an important role in acute ischemic syndromes affecting the coronary or cerebrovascular territory, as reflected by biochemical measurements of eicosanoid biosynthesis and the results of inhibitor trials in these settings. Two cyclooxygenase (COX)-isozymes have been characterized, COX-1 and COX-2, that differ in terms of regulatory mechanisms of expression, tiss...
