Interleukin-1b induces glycosaminoglycan synthesis via the prostaglandin E2 pathway in cultured human cervical ®broblasts
The aim of this study was to identify, in cultured human cervical ®broblasts, the mechanisms by which interleukin (IL)-1b induces the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans (GAG) and to explore the putative role of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in this process. Exposure of the cells for 24 h to IL-1b induced a signi®cant (P < 0.05) dose-dependent increase in GAG synthesis. IL-1b (1 ng/ ml) induced the expre...
متن کاملProstaglandin E2 Synthesis in C6 Glioma Cells
Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) plays an important role in immunosuppression and tumor growth. PGE2 inhibitors such as aspirin and indomethacin suppress experimental tumor growth. Little is known of the relationship between PGE2 synthesis in brain tumors and the dose of aspirin or indomethacin. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of different doses of aspirin and indomethacin on PGE...
متن کاملProstaglandin E2 mediates growth arrest in NFS-60 cells by down-regulating interleukin-6 receptor expression.
Interleukin-6 (IL-6), a potent myeloid mitogen, and the immunosuppressive prostanoid prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) are elevated following thermal injury and sepsis. We have previously demonstrated that bone marrow myeloid commitment shifts toward monocytopoiesis and away from granulocytopoiesis during thermal injury and sepsis and that PGE2 plays a central role in this alteration. Here we investigate...
متن کاملMethylglyoxal induces prostaglandin E2 production in rat mesangial cells.
The formation of methylglyoxal (MG), a reactive dicarbonyl compound, is accelerated under hyperglycemia, presumably contributing to tissue injury in diabetes. On the other hand, prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) has been implicated in glomerular hyperfiltration, a characteristic change in the early stage of diabetic nephropathy. We therefore examined whether MG was capable of inducing PGE2 production in ...
متن کاملProstaglandin E2 synergistically with interleukin-23 favors human Th17 expansion.
Microenvironment molecular cues direct T helper (Th) cell differentiation; however, Th17 fate determination is still imprecisely understood in humans. To assess the role of prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) in Th expansion, we activated peripheral blood mononuclear cells by CD3 cross-linking. In the presence of exogenous PGE(2), peripheral blood mononuclear cells produced higher interleukin-17 (IL-17...
