## Abstract ## Objective Membrane‐associated prostaglandin E synthase (mPGES) is a recently identified terminal enzyme of the arachidonic acid cascade, which converts PGH~2~ to PGE~2~ in rheumatoid arthritis synovial fibroblasts (RASFs). This study was undertaken to investigate factors regulating

## Abstract ## Objective To elucidate the mechanism of basic calcium phosphate (BCP) crystal–induced prostaglandin E~2~ (PGE~2~) production in human foreskin fibroblasts (HFFs), to identify the signaling pathway involved in the induction of cyclooxygenase 2 (COX‐2) messenger RNA (mRNA) by BCP crys
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is a biological mediator for connective tissue cells and plays a critical role in a wide variety of physiological and pathological processes. We here investigated the effect of PDGF on arachidonic acid release and prostaglandin E 2 (PGE 2 ) synthesis in human gi
Interleukin-18 (IL-18) is not only a co-stimulus for the induction of interferon-gamma but also has direct proinflammatory effects by inducing tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), IL-1, IL-8 and IL-6. However, the cascade of events leading to induction of cytokines by IL-18 is unclear. The aim o
