PGE2 has been implicated in abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) associated hypervascularization. PGE2-metabolism involves 15-hydroxyprostaglandin-dehydrogenase (15-PGDH) the expression of which in AAA is unknown. The aim of this study was to examine the expression and cell distribution of 15-PGDH in AAA. Here, we show that 15-PGDH mRNA levels were significantly higher in aorta samples from patients...
Qu, Wei, Lee M. Graves, and Ronald G. Thurman. PGE2 stimulates O2 uptake in hepatic parenchymal cells: involvement of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Am. J. Physiol. 277 (Gastrointest. Liver Physiol. 40): G1048–G1054, 1999.—The aim of this study was to determine which PGE2 receptors and signal transduction pathways are responsible for the stimulation of oxygen uptake in liver. Hepatic parenc...
Fever is thought to be initiated by pyrogenic cytokines inducing the production of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in the preoptic area (POA); PGE2 may act as a paracrine mediator that stimulates the neural pathways that raise body temperature. This essential role for prostaglandins in fever first was proposed 25 years ago, but the specific preoptic cell groups at which PGE2 acts and the pathways throu...
Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) can stimulate tumor progression by both direct and indirect mechanisms. However, its influence on cell proliferation is still unclear. The present study characterized expression of subtypes of PGE2 receptors in oral squamous cell carcinomas, while also investigating the effects of EP3 and EP4 selective antagonists on oral carcinoma cell lines. EP1, EP2, EP3 and EP4 recep...
PGE2 has important inhibitory effects on the macrophage host defense functions of phagocytosis and killing, yet the molecular mechanisms involved remain to be fully elucidated. PGE2 causes an elevation of cAMP in alveolar macrophages (AMs), which in turn activates the cAMP effector targets, protein kinase A and the exchange protein activated by cAMP (Epac)-1. We now report that FcgammaR-induced...
Our previous observations on the production of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) by bladder tumor cell lines in vitro and the enhancement of tumor cell PGE2 production upon exposure to purified peripheral blood lymphocytes from normal human donors prompted us to examine this interaction in an animal model in order to further define conditions that determine the occurrence of this phenomenon. Cell lines d...
BACKGROUND/AIMS Autophagic cell death has recently been implicated in the pathophysiology of tendinopathy. Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), a known inflammatory mediator of tendinitis, inhibits tenofibroblast proliferation in vitro; however, the underlying mechanism is unclear. The present study investigated the relationship between PGE2 production and autophagic cell death in mechanically loaded human...
PGE2 has been shown to play a prominent role in regulating Th1 and Th2 type responses. We studied the role of PGE2 in IFN-gamma production by Staphylococcus aureus Cowan I-stimulated spleen cells from several mouse strains such as BALB/c, C3H/HeN, and C57BL/6. When spleen cells were pretreated with indomethacin (cyclooxygenase (COX)-1 and COX-2 inhibitor) or NS-398 (COX-2-specific inhibitor), S...
Interleukin (IL)-12 is a proinflammatory cytokine that contributes to innate resistance and to the development of antigen-specific T cell responses. Among other effects, prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) inhibits the production of IL-12 by macrophages activated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Here we investigated the effects of PGE2 on human dendritic cells (DCs) which develop in the presence of GM-CSF an...
The precise sites for prostaglandin E2 (PGE2)-related activity responsible for the promotion of wakefulness and elevation of brain temperature were determined in several regions of the monkey brain. PGE2 was administered through a microdialysis probe into 11 brain loci mainly in the preoptic area/anterior hypothalamic region (POA/AH) and the tuberomammillary region in the posterior hypothalamus...
