Background Endothelial cells, like gate-keepers of the vascular bed, can actively protect against the inflammatory process. Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) could be one of the mediators that can promote the barrier function of endothelial cells. PGE2 exerts its cellular effects by binding to four different E-prostanoid receptors (EP1–4) that belong to the family of G protein-coupled receptors. This pro...
