  • 615 Neuroscience-Cayman-Bertin
    Thomas G. Brock, Ph.D. Introduction to Neuroscience In our first Biology classes, we learned that lipids form the membranes around cells. For many students, interests quickly moved to the intracellular constituents ‘that really matter’, or to how cells or systems work in health and disease. If there was further thought about lipids, it might have been limited to more personal issues, like an expanding waistline. It was easy to forget about lipids in the complexities of, say, Alzheimer’s Disease, where tau protein is hyperphosphorylated by a host of kinases before forming neurofibrillary tangles and amyloid precursor protein is processed by assorted secretases, ultimately aggregating to form neurodegenerating plaques. What possible role could lipids have in all this? After all, lipids just form the membranes around cells. Fortunately, neuroscientists study complex systems. Whether working at the molecular, cellular, or organismal level, the research focus always returns to the intricately interconnected bigger picture. Perhaps surprisingly, lipids keep emerging as part of the bigger picture. At least, the smaller lipids do. Many of the smaller lipids, including the cannabinoids and eicosanoids, act as paracrine hormones, modulating cell functions in a receptor-mediated fashion. In this sense, they are rather like the peptide hormones in their diversity and actions. In the neurosystem, this means that these signaling lipids determine if synapses fire or not, when cells differentiate or die, and whether tissues remain healthy or become inflamed. Returning to the question posed above about lipids in Alzheimer’s, these mediators have roles at many levels in the course of the disease, as presented in an article on page 42 of this catalog.

  • Coexpression of Microsomal Prostaglandin E Synthase With
    Coexpression of Microsomal Prostaglandin E Synthase with Cyclooxygenase-2 in Human Rheumatoid Synovial Cells FUMIAKI KOJIMA, HIROAKI NARABA, YASUHARU SASAKI, RENZO OKAMOTO, TOMIHISA KOSHINO, and SHINICHI KAWAI ABSTRACT. Objective. Recently, microsomal prostaglandin (PG) E synthase (mPGES) was cloned as a terminal enzyme catalyzing PGH2 to PGE2. We investigated mPGES as well as cyclooxygenase (COX)-2, catalyzing arachidonic acid to PGH2, in synovial cells from patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The effect of dexamethasone on mPGES expression was also studied. Methods. Synovial cells were treated with interleukin 1ß (IL-1ß) and dexamethasone under various conditions, and expression of mPGES mRNA and protein was analyzed by Northern blot and Western blot, respectively. Conversions of arachidonic acid or PGH2 to PGE2 were measured by ELISA. Subcellular localization of mPGES and COX-2 was determined by immunofluorescent microscopic analysis. Results. mPGES mRNA and protein expression were significantly upregulated by IL-1ß in synovial cells. COX-2 mRNA and protein were also upregulated by IL-1ß, but with a different time course from that of mPGES. Conversion of PGH2 to PGE2 was increased by IL-1ß and was correlated with mPGES expression. Increased conversion of arachidonic acid to PGE2 was maintained when mPGES and COX-2 were coexpressed. Subcellular localization of mPGES and COX-2 overlapped in the perinuclear region in IL-1ß stimulated synovial cells. Dexamethasone inhibited mRNA and protein expression for mPGES and increased conversion of arachidonic acid to PGE2, but inhibition of mPGES was weaker compared with that of COX-2 in IL-1ß stimulated cells. Conclusion. The results suggest that abundant PGE2 production at inflammation sites such as rheumatoid synovia is caused by the coordinated upregulation of mPGES and COX-2.

  • Expression and Regulation of Microsomal Prostaglandin E Synthase
    Expression and Regulation of Microsomal Prostaglandin E Synthase-1 in Human Osteoarthritic Cartilage and Chondrocytes XINFANG LI, HASSAN AFIF, SARANETTE CHENG, JOHANNE MARTEL-PELLETIER, JEAN-PIERRE PELLETIER, PIERRE RANGER, and HASSAN FAHMI ABSTRACT. Objective. Elevated production of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) plays an important role in the pathogen- esis of arthritis. Recently, an inducible microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-1 (mPGES-1) was identified. This enzyme is functionally coupled with cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and converts the COX product PGH2 to PGE2. We analyzed expression of mPGES-1 in human normal and osteoarthritic (OA) cartilage and determined the effect of different inflammatory agonists on the expression of mPGES-1 in OA chondrocytes. Methods. Expression of mPGES-1 mRNA and protein in cartilage was determined by quantitative real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemistry, respectively. OA chondrocytes were treated with different inflammatory agents, and mPGES-1 protein expression was evaluated by Western blot. Activation of the mPGES-1 promoter was assessed in transient trans- fection experiments. Results. Levels of mPGES-1 mRNA and protein were markedly elevated in OA versus normal car- tilage. Treatment of chondrocytes with interleukin 1ß (IL-1ß) induced expression of mPGES-1 pro- tein in a dose- and time-dependent manner. This appears to occur at the transcriptional level, as IL- 1ß induced expression of mPGES-1 mRNA and the activity of this gene promoter. Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and IL-17 also upregulated expression of mPGES-1 protein and displayed a syn- ergistic effect with IL-1ß. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ ligands, 15-deoxy-∆12,14- prostaglandin J2 and troglitazone, inhibited IL-1ß-induced mPGES-1 protein expression, an effect that was reversed by exogenous PGE2.

In this review, we focus on their influence on platelets, which are key elements in thrombosis and hemostasis. The function of platelets is influenced by mediators in the blood and the vascular wall. Activated platelets aggregate and release bioactive substances, thereby activating further neighbored platelets, which finally can lead to the formation of thrombi. Prostanoids regulate the function of blood platelets by both activating or inhibiting and so are involved in hemostasis. Each prostanoid has a unique activity profile and, thus, a specific profile of action. This article reviews the effects of the following prostanoids: prostaglandin-D2 (PGD2), prostaglandin-E1, -E2 and E3 (PGE1, PGE2, PGE3), prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α), prostacyclin (PGI2) and thromboxane-A2 (TXA2) on platelet activation and aggregation via their respective receptors. Keywords: prostacyclin; thromboxane; prostaglandin; platelets 1. Introduction Hemostasis is a complex process that requires the interplay of multiple physiological pathways. Cellular and molecular mechanisms interact to stop bleedings of injured blood vessels or to seal denuded sub-endothelium with localized clot formation (Figure1).

    RESEARCH ARTICLE Prostaglandin signaling regulates nephron segment patterning of renal progenitors during zebrafish kidney development Shahram Jevin Poureetezadi1,2, Christina N Cheng1,2, Joseph M Chambers1,2, Bridgette E Drummond1,2, Rebecca A Wingert1,2* 1Department of Biological Sciences, University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, United States; 2Center for Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine, Center for Zebrafish Research, University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, United States Abstract Kidney formation involves patterning events that induce renal progenitors to form nephrons with an intricate composition of multiple segments. Here, we performed a chemical genetic screen using zebrafish and discovered that prostaglandins, lipid mediators involved in many physiological functions, influenced pronephros segmentation. Modulating levels of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) or PGB2 restricted distal segment formation and expanded a proximal segment lineage. Perturbation of prostaglandin synthesis by manipulating Cox1 or Cox2 activity altered distal segment formation and was rescued by exogenous PGE2. Disruption of the PGE2 receptors Ptger2a and Ptger4a similarly affected the distal segments. Further, changes in Cox activity or irx3b sim1a PGE2 levels affected expression of the transcription factors and that mitigate pronephros segment patterning. These findings show for the first time that PGE2 is a regulator of nephron formation in the zebrafish embryonic kidney, thus revealing that prostaglandin signaling may have implications for renal birth defects and other diseases.
