Production of prostaglandins is a critical step in transducing immune stimuli into central nervous system (CNS) responses, but the cellular source of prostaglandins responsible for CNS signalling is unknown. Cyclooxygenase catalyzes the rate-limiting step in the synthesis of prostaglandins and exist

We investigated the regulation of COX-2 expression and activity by adenosine receptors in rat microglial cells. The selective adenosine A,,-receptor agonist CGS21680 and the non-selective adenosine Al-and A,-receptor agonist 5'-N-ethylcarboxiamidoadenosine (NECA) induced a n increase in COX-2 mRNA l
## Abstract Previously we have reported that thrombin induces inflammatory mediators in brain glial cells (Ryu et al. 2000. J Biol Chem 275:29955). In the present study, we found that thrombin induced a negative regulator of a cytokine signaling molecule, cytokineβinduced SH2 protein (CIS), in rat
## Abstract ## Objective To elucidate the mechanism of basic calcium phosphate (BCP) crystalβinduced prostaglandin E~2~ (PGE~2~) production in human foreskin fibroblasts (HFFs), to identify the signaling pathway involved in the induction of cyclooxygenase 2 (COXβ2) messenger RNA (mRNA) by BCP crys
