ABSTRACT
AIM:
To explore effects of LPS,TNF-?,IL-1? on cyclooxygenase-2(COX-2) expression and prostaglandins(PGs) production in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC).METHODS:
HUVEC were stimulated with lipopolysaccharide(LPS),TNF-?,IL-1? for 24 hours. Using in situ hybridization,reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemistry, COX-2 expression in both mRNA and protein level were observed and prostaglandins in culture medium were measured.RESULTS:
Resting HUVEC expressed a little COX-2 mRNA. Expression of mRNA and protein of cyclooxygenase-2 increased significantly post-stimulation with LPS,TNF-?,IL-1? and PGs raised markedly at the same time.CONCLUSIONS:
Resting HUVEC expressed a little COX-2 mRNA, inflammatory stimuli induced COX-2 superexpression and PGs production. These results suggested that endothelial cells could involve in inflammation by controlling of COX-2.
