Antihypertensive effects of selective prostaglandin E2 receptor subtype 1 targeting.
Clinical use of prostaglandin synthase-inhibiting NSAIDs is associated with the development of hypertension; however, the cardiovascular effects of antagonists for individual prostaglandin receptors remain uncharacterized. The present studies were aimed at elucidating the role of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) E-prostanoid receptor subtype 1 (EP1) in regulating blood pressure. Oral administration of t...
متن کاملEffect of sodium hydrosulfide on mRNA expression of prostaglandin E2 receptors in response to mucosal acidification and distention-induced gastric acid secretion in rats
Objective(s): Prostaglandins have been shown to mediate the gastro-protective effect of sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS) but effect of NaHS on mRNA expression of prostaglandin E2 receptors (EP1, 3-4; EPs) has not been investigated. Therefore, this study designed to evaluate the effect of NaHS on mRNA expression of EPs receptors in response to mucosal acidification and distention-induced gastric acid ...
متن کاملProstaglandin E2 as a mediator of fever: the role of prostaglandin E (EP) receptors.
Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is a principal fever mediator that induces hyperthermia when injected into the organum vasculosum lamina terminalis (OVLT) and the adjacent preoptic area of the hypothalamus (POA). PGE (EP) receptors have four subtypes, i.e. EP1, EP2, EP3, and EP4. In the rat OVLT/POA region, at least three of these receptors, i.e. EP1, EP3, and EP4 receptors, have distinctively differen...
متن کاملCyclooxygenases and prostaglandin E2 receptors in growth plate chondrocytes in vitro and in situ – prostaglandin E2 dependent proliferation of growth plate chondrocytes
Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) plays an important role in bone development and metabolism. To interfere therapeutically in the PGE2 pathway, however, knowledge about the involved enzymes (cyclooxygenases) and receptors (PGE2 receptors) is essential. We therefore examined the production of PGE2 in cultured growth plate chondrocytes in vitro and the effects of exogenously added PGE2 on cell proliferatio...
متن کاملExpression of Prostaglandin E2 Receptors in Acquired Middle Ear Cholesteatoma
OBJECTIVES To investigate the expression of prostaglandin E2 receptor subtypes, E-prostanoid (EP) 1-4 receptors, in acquired cholesteatoma and its possible role in the pathologic process of this disorder. METHODS Specimens of human acquired cholesteatoma were obtained from 29 patients and 19 skin biopsies of normal external auditory canal were as controls. The mRNA and protein expression of E...
