## Abstract ## Objective Bradykinin (BK) stimulates bone resorption in vitro and synergistically potentiates interleukinβ1 (ILβ1)βinduced bone resorption and prostaglandin (PG) formation, suggesting that kinins are important in inflammationβinduced bone loss. The present study was undertaken to st

Retinoic acid (RA) is a well-known antiinflammatory agent. In this study, we show that RA has a dual effect on cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression in inflammatory activated microglia, the resident brain macrophages. After treatment of microglia with LPS or thrombin, COX-2 expression was induced in t
Oncostatin M (OSM), a cytokine of the interleukin-6 family, is expressed in rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, multiple myeloma, and other inflammatory and neoplastic conditions. Prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)), an eicosanoid also associated with inflammation and cancer, has recently been shown t
