Mixed messages: modulation of inflammation and immune responses by prostaglandins and thromboxanes [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Investigation, 2001
Virtually every organism has evolved mechanisms by which, upon stimulation, lipids are released from plasma membranes and metabolized into mediators capable of changing cellular physiology.

Determination of thromboxanes, leukotrienes and lipoxins using high-temperature capillary liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry and on-line sample preparation

open access: yesJournal of Chromatography A, 2009
Udgivelsesdato: 2009-May-29An on-line strong cation-exchange (SCX)-reversed-phase (RP) capillary liquid chromatographic (cLC) method with ion-trap tandem mass spectrometric (IT-MS/MS) detection for the simultaneous determination of thromboxane (TX) B(2),

PROSTAGLANDIN AND THROMBOXANE BIOSYNTHESIS

Pharmacology & Therapeutics, 1991
We describe the enzymological regulation of the formation of prostaglandin (PG) D2, PGE2, PGF2 alpha, 9 alpha, 11 beta-PGF2, PGI2 (prostacyclin), and thromboxane (Tx) A2 from arachidonic acid. We discuss the three major steps in prostanoid formation: (a) arachidonate mobilization from monophosphatidylinositol involving phospholipase C, diglyceride ...

Leukotriene and thromboxane antagonists

Clinical Reviews in Allergy, 1994
It has been suggested that arachidonate metabolites, leukotrienes, and thromboxane may play important roles in the pathogenesis of bronchial asthma. Biologic activities of these mediators are much more potent than those of histamine and acetylcholine on a molar basis in inducing bronchoconstriction, increase in microvascular permeability, formation of ...

A radioimmunoassay for thromboxane B2

Analytical Biochemistry, 1977
Abstract Thromboxane B 2 levels are believed to reflect the levels of the active precursor thromboxane A 2 , present during biosynthetic transformations of arachidonic acid. A radioimmunoassay for thromboxane B 2 is described. The antibodies show selective recognition of the thromboxane B structure with a sensitivity of 100 pg.

Thromboxane synthase expression and thromboxane A2 production in the atherosclerotic lesion

Journal of Molecular Medicine, 2010
Thromboxane A(2) (TXA(2)) is a potent prothrombotic and immune modulating lipid mediator, which is implicated in cardiovascular diseases, in particular, atherosclerotic lesion development and thrombogenicity. Here, we tested the hypothesis that thromboxane synthase (TXAS), the obligate enzyme required to synthesize TXA(2), is expressed within the human

Anti-thromboxane A2 actions of pinane thromboxane A2 derivatives

Prostaglandins, Leukotrienes and Medicine, 1982
Six pinane-thromboxane A2 analogs have been synthesized and tested for their ability to antagonize carbocyclic thromboxane A2 (CTA2) induced coronary vasoconstriction and prostaglandin endoperoxide analog induced platelet aggregation. Two of the derivatives, 5C-15S BPTA2 and 5T-15S BPTA2 and 5T-15S BPTA2 (1 microM) showed 76 +/- 3 and 72 +/- 9 percent ...

Glibenclamide inhibits thromboxane-mediated vasoconstriction by thromboxane receptor blockade

Vascular Pharmacology, 2004
Because sulfonylureas, such as glibenclamide, are used to treat Type 2 diabetes and because this disease is associated with various cardiovascular complications that may be mediated by thromboxane (TX), this study was designed to characterize the role of glibenclamide on TX-mediated contractions in isolated ring segments of bovine coronary arteries and
