Regulation of immune cell activation in lymphocyte-bearing human tissues is a pivotal host function, and metabolites of arachidonic acid (prostaglandin E, in particular) have been reported to serve this function at non-mucosal sites. However, it is unknown whether prostaglandin E2 is immunoregulator

## Abstract Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are members of the transforming growth factorβbeta (TGFβΞ²) gene superfamily of growth and differentiation factors. Members of the BMP family were originally cloned and characterized by their ability to induce ectopic bone formation. Of the various BMPs
## Abstract Cyclooxygenase (COX)β2 is generally known as an inducible enzyme, and it produces arachidonic acid to prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), which modulates bone metabolism. Here, we investigated the expression and role of COX isomers in human mesenchymal stem cells. Human mesenchymal stem cells cons
Connexin43 (Cx43) forms gap junctions that mediate intercellular communication between osteoblasts. We have examined the effects of prostaglandin E 2 (PGE 2 ) and parathyroid hormone (PTH) on gap junctional communication in the rat osteogenic sarcoma cells UMR 106-01. Incubation with either PGE 2 o
