ABSTRACT
AIM:
To investigate if hydrogen peroxide may alter COX-2 gene expression in pulmonary artery endothelial cells(PAECs) and how CaMKⅡ functions in this process.METHODS:
Cultured pulmonary arterial endothelial cells were treated with different concentrations of hydrogen peroxide for different durations.The cells survival rates were measured by CCK-8 after the cells were treated by hydrogen peroxide.The level of COX-2 mRNA and protein were measured by RT-PCR and Western blotting,respectively.RESULTS:
The results showed that hydrogen peroxide up-regulated COX-2 mRNA and protein levels in a concentration-and time-dependent manners.Incubation with 100 ?mol/L H2O2 for 4 h increased COX-2 mRNA and protein level to 256.01%?22.36%(P
