Role of cyclooxygenase-2 in the generation of vasoactive prostanoids in the rat pulmonary and systemic vascular beds.
BACKGROUND Prostanoid synthesis by the cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 pathway plays an important role in inflammation, and recent studies have shown the presence of COX-2 in the normal rat lung. However, the role of COX-2 in the generation of vasoactive prostanoids in the rat is uncertain. In the present study, the hypothesis that synthesis of vasoactive prostanoids via the COX-2 pathway can alter pulm...
متن کاملEffects of lipopolysaccharide-induced septic shock on rat isolated kidney, possible role of nitric oxide and protein kinase C pathways
Objective(s): Pathophysiology of sepsis-associated renal failure (one of the most common cause of death in intensive care units) had not been fully determined. The effect of nitric oxide and protein kinase C (PKC) pathways in isolated kidney of Lipopolysaccharide-treated (LPS) rats were investigated in this study. Materials and Methods: Vascular responsiveness to phenylephrine and acetylcholine...
متن کاملRole of COX-1 and -2 in prostanoid generation and modulation of angiotensin II responses.
The role of cyclooxygenase (COX)-1 and -2 in prostanoid formation and modulation of pressor responses to ANG II was investigated in the pulmonary and systemic vascular beds in the rat. In the present study, selective COX-1 and -2 inhibitors attenuated increases in pulmonary arterial pressure and decreases in systemic arterial pressure in response to arachidonic acid but did not alter responses ...
متن کاملVasoactive prostanoids are generated from arachidonic acid by COX-1 and COX-2 in the mouse.
Generation of vasoactive prostanoids from arachidonic acid by cyclooxygenase (COX)-1 and COX-2 was investigated in anesthetized mice. Intravenous injections of the prostanoid precursor arachidonic acid increased pulmonary arterial pressure and decreased systemic arterial pressure. Pulmonary pressor and systemic depressor responses were attenuated by SC-560 and nimesulide, inhibitors of COX-1 an...
متن کاملInteraction between prostanoids and nitric oxide in regulation of systemic, pulmonary, and coronary vascular tone in exercising swine.
Prostacyclin and nitric oxide (NO) are produced by the endothelium in response to physical forces such as shear stress. Consequently, both NO and prostacyclin may increase during exercise and contribute to metabolic vasodilation. Conversely, NO has been hypothesized to inhibit prostacyclin production. We therefore investigated the effect of cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibition on exercise-induced va...
