Regulation of macrophage tumor necrosis factor production by prostaglandin E2.
We have studied the role of prostaglandin E2 on the modulation of tumor necrosis factor by immunologically elicited and lipopolysaccharide treated murine macrophages. Indomethacin, a potent inhibitor of prostaglandin E2 production, caused a dose dependent augmentation of lipopolysaccharide induced tumor necrosis factor production (2-3 fold at 10(-7) molar). Tumor necrosis factor was released in...
متن کاملRegulation of macrophage cytokine production by prostaglandin E2. Distinct roles of cyclooxygenase-1 and -2.
Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) modulates a variety of physiological processes including the production of inflammatory cytokines. There are two cyclooxygenase (Cox) enzymes, Cox-1 and Cox-2, that are responsible for initiating PGE2 synthesis. These isozymes catalyze identical biosynthetic reactions but are regulated by different mechanisms in the cell. This report examines differences in the roles of ...
متن کاملRegulation of immune responses by prostaglandin E2.
PGE(2), an essential homeostatic factor, is also a key mediator of immunopathology in chronic infections and cancer. The impact of PGE(2) reflects the balance between its cyclooxygenase 2-regulated synthesis and 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase-driven degradation and the pattern of expression of PGE(2) receptors. PGE(2) enhances its own production but suppresses acute inflammatory mediator...
متن کاملConcentration-dependent effect of Rikko-san on the prostaglandin E2 production by mouse macrophage-like cells.
Rikko-san (RKS) and its ingredients were investigated for their activity to stimulate prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) production by unstimulated and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated mouse macrophage-like Raw 264.7 cells. LPS significantly stimulated the production and extracellular secretion of PGE2 by Raw 264.7 cells. RKS dose-dependently modified the LPS-stimulated PGE2 production. A lower concent...
متن کاملEffect of Sairei-to and its ingredients on prostaglandin E2 production by mouse macrophage-like cells.
Sairei-to and its twelve ingredients were investigated for their activity to stimulate prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) production by unstimulated and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated mouse macrophage-like RAW 264.7 cells. LPS significantly stimulated the production and extracellular secretion of PGE2 by RAW 264.7 cells. Sairei-to concentration-dependently modified the LPS-stimulated PGE2 production....
