Product Data
Biological target:
Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is a hormone-like substance that participate in a wide range of body functions such as the contraction and relaxation of smooth muscle, the dilation and constriction of blood vessels, control of blood pressure, and modulation of inflammation.
In vitro activity:
Exogenous PGE2 has been reported to prevent phagocytosis of macrophages, and in this study’s experimental system, starting with a concentration of 50 ng/ml, PGE2 significantly inhibited the phagocytosis of E. coli by HL‐60 cells. At 1000 ng/ml, PGE2 reduced the phagocytic percentage of HL‐60 cells by about 50% (Figure 1A,B). PGE2 also inhibited the phagocytosis of E. coli by freshly isolated neutrophils (Figure 1C,D). Reference: Immun Inflamm Dis. 2022 Jul;10(7):e662. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35759236/
In vivo activity:
Indeed, PGE2-induced phosphorylation of AKT was dampened in cells from the EP4LysM mice but was rescued in the presence of 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX), which protects against cAMP degradation (Fig. 8e). Furthermore, PGE2-induced migration (P < 0.05; Fig. S7a) and differentiation (P < 0.05; Fig. S7a) of the WT mice were significantly suppressed following treatment with an AKT inhibitor (GSK2141795).
