Update on the pathological roles of prostaglandin E2 in neurodegeneration in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

open access: yesTranslational Neurodegeneration, 2023
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by selective degeneration of upper and lower motor neurons. The pathogenesis of ALS remains largely unknown; however, inflammation of the spinal cord is a focus ...

Expression of Prostaglandin E Receptors in Acquired Middle Ear Cholesteatoma [PDF]

open access: yesClinical and Experimental Otorhinolaryngology, 2018
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

Severity of lung injury in cyclooxygenase-2-deficient mice is dependent on reduced prostaglandin E-2 production

open access: yes, 2004
Levels of prostaglandin E-2 (PGE(2)), a potent inhibitor of fibroblast function, are decreased in the lungs of patients with pulmonary fibrosis, which has been shown to be because of limited expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2).

Prostaglandin EP Receptors Involved in Modulating Gastrointestinal Mucosal Integrity

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2010
.: Endogenous prostaglandins (PGs) play an important role in modulating the mucosal integrity and various functions of the gastrointestinal tract, and E type PGs are most effective in these actions.

Hijacking emergency granulopoiesis: Neutrophil ontogeny and reprogramming in cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Neutrophils are highly plastic innate immune cells; their functions in cancer extend beyond the tumour microenvironment. This Review summarises current understanding of neutrophil maturation and heterogeneity and highlights tumour‐induced granulopoiesis as a systemic programme that expands immature, immunosuppressive neutrophils via tumour‐derived ...

Developmental programmes drive cellular plasticity, disease progression and therapy resistance in lung adenocarcinoma

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study shows that lung adenocarcinomas exploit developmental branching morphogenesis to acquire a therapy resistant basal‐like tumour cell state. This process was found to be regulated by combined TP53 loss‐of‐function and type‐I interferon signalling, identifying a novel axis for biomarker and therapeutic target discovery.

Roles of EP Receptors in the Regulation of Fluid Balance and Blood Pressure

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is an important prostanoid expressing throughout the kidney and cardiovascular system. Despite the diverse effects on fluid metabolism and blood pressure, PGE2 is implicated in sustaining volume and hemodynamics homeostasis.

Consequences of altered eicosanoid patterns for nociceptive processing in mPGES-1-deficient mice

open access: yes, 2007
Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2)-dependent prostaglandin (PG) E2 synthesis in the spinal cord plays a major role in the development of inflammatory hyperalgesia and allodynia. Microsomal PGE2 synthase-1 (mPGES-1) isomerizes COX-2-derived PGH2 to PGE2.

Erythropoietin modulates hepatic inflammation, glucose homeostasis, and soluble epoxide hydrolase and epoxides in high‐fat diet‐induced obese mice

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Erythropoietin administration suppresses hepatic soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) expression, leading to increased CYP‐derived epoxides. This is associated with a shift in hepatic macrophage polarization characterized by reduced M1 markers and increased M2 markers, along with reduced hepatic inflammation, suppressed hepatic lipogenesis, and attenuated ...

Intracellular prostaglandin E2 contributes to hypoxia-induced proximal tubular cell death

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Proximal tubular cells (PTC) are particularly vulnerable to hypoxia-induced apoptosis, a relevant factor for kidney disease. We hypothesized here that PTC death under hypoxia is mediated by cyclo-oxygenase (COX-2)-dependent production of prostaglandin E2
