The Effect of impaired Cyclooxygenase 2 activity on gene regulation in the developing mouse brain and the role of PGE2 in oxidative stress production in Differentiated Neuronal Cells
Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is a signaling molecule derived from the lipid membrane through the enzyme cyclooxygenase2 (COX-2). These studies aim to investigate how changes in COX-PGE2 signalling can influence mouse gene expression and alter oxidative stress in neuronal cells. In study 1 we use …

Non-steriodal anti-inflammatory drug-mediated regulation of COX-2 and EP3 receptor expression in the M-1 murine cortical collecting duct cell line.
… duct (CCD) is a major site of intrarenal prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) synthesis. By indirect immunofluorescence using isoform specific antibodies, we have localized COX-1 and -2 immunoreactivity to all cell types of the murine M-1 CCD cell line. By, immunohistochemistry, both COX-1 and COX-2 …

Identification of the Pla2 Responsible For Prostanoid Synthesis in Response to Inflammatory Cytokines
… be responsible for approximately 50-60% of the PGE2 production in response to inflammatory cytokines. Thus, we hypothesized that a closely-related PLA2 is responsible for 40-50% of the PGE2 produced in response to inflammatory cytokines. To this end, we utilized RNAi technology, extensively …

Role of Extracellular Signal-Regulated Kinase and Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor gamma on Transforming Growth Factor-β1-Induced Human Endometrial Stromal Cell Decidualization
… following conditions: DMEM/F-12 (10% FBS, 1 nM E2 and 100 nM P4). 5 ng/ml of TGF-β1, 50 nM of rosiglitazone (PPAR gamma agonist), and 20 μM of PD98059 (ERK inhibitor) were added according to experimental purposes. Trypan-blue and a hemocytometer were utilized to count the viable cell number. …

Effect of a single intra-articular injection of bupivacaine on synovial fluid prostaglandin E2 concentrations in normal canine stifles
… is unknown, but may involve inflammation. Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is an inflammatory mediator and a marker of joint inflammation. The aim of this study was to compare synovial fluid PGE2 concentrations after a single intra-articular injection of bupivacaine with a saline control in normal …

Effect of Prostaglandin E2 on the Expression of Adhesion Molecules in Mouse Cerebrovascular Endothelial Cells
Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is known to be the principal pro-inflammatory prostanoid and play an important role in brain disease through binding to four G protein-coupled receptor (EP1-4). However, there have been contradictory reports on its actions in inflammation processes. For instance, PGE2 …
