Chemotherapeutic agents, such as doxorubicin (DOX), may cause cardiomyopathy, even life-threatening arrhythmias in cancer patients. Ferroptosis-an iron-dependent oxidative form of programmed necrosis, plays a pivotal role DOX-induced cardiomyopathy (DIC). Prostaglandins (PGs) are bioactive signaling molecules that profoundly modulate cardiac performance both physiologic and pathologic conditions. Here, we found PGE2 production its E-prostanoid 1 receptor (EP1) expression were upregulated...

Gluconeogenesis is drastically increased in patients with type 2 diabetes and accounts for fasting plasma glucose concentrations. Circulating levels of prostaglandin (PG) F2α are also markedly elevated diabetes; however, whether how PGF2α regulates hepatic metabolism remain unknown. Here, we demonstrated that receptor (F-prostanoid [FP]) was upregulated the livers mice upon fasting- diabetic stress. Hepatic deletion FP suppressed fasting-induced gluconeogenesis, whereas overexpression...

Natural killer (NK) cells exhibit antifibrotic properties in liver fibrosis (LF) by suppressing activated hepatic stellate cell (HSC) populations. Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) plays a dual role innate and adaptive immunity. Here, we found that E-prostanoid 3 receptor (EP3) was markedly downregulated NK from mice patients with cirrhosis. cell–specific deletion of EP3 aggravated fibrogenesis mouse models LF. Loss selectively reduced the cytotoxicity CD27+CD11b+ double positive (DP) subset against...

l-Arginine and l-arginine-metabolizing enzymes play important roles in the biology of some types myeloid cells, including macrophage myeloid-derived suppressor cells. In this study, we found evidence that arginase 1 (Arg1) is required for differentiation mouse dendritic cells (DCs). Expression Arg1 was robustly induced during monocyte-derived DC differentiation. Ectopic expression significantly promoted monocytic a granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor culture system also...

Abstract Two distinct monocyte (Mo)/macrophage (Mp) subsets (Ly6C low and Ly6C high ) orchestrate cardiac recovery process following myocardial infarction (MI). Prostaglandin (PG) E 2 is involved in the Mo/Mp-mediated inflammatory response, however, role of its receptors Mos/Mps healing remains to be determined. Here we show that pharmacological inhibition or gene ablation Ep3 receptor mice suppresses accumulation infarcted hearts. deletion markedly attenuates after MI by reducing...

Blood pressure often rises with aging, but exact mechanisms are still not completely understood. With the level of proinflammatory cytokines increases in T lymphocytes. Prostaglandin D2, a proresolution mediator, suppresses Type 1 helper (Th1) through D-prostanoid receptor (DP1). In this study, we aimed to investigate role prostaglandin D2/DP1 axis cells on age-related hypertension.To clarify physiological and pathophysiological roles DP1 peripheral blood samples were collected from young...

Abstract Aerobic training (AT), an effective form of cardiac rehabilitation, has been shown to be beneficial for repair and remodeling after myocardial infarction (MI). The p300/CBP‐associated factor (PCAF) is one the most important lysine acetyltransferases involved in various biological processes. However, role PCAF AT AT‐mediated post‐MI not determined. Here, we found that protein level was significantly increased MI, while blocked increase PCAF. markedly improved mice MI by reducing...

Niacin is a well established drug used to lower cholesterol and prevent cardiovascular disease events. However, niacin also causes cutaneous flushing side effects due release of the proresolution mediator prostaglandin D2 (PGD2). Recent randomized clinical trials have demonstrated that addition with laropiprant [a PGD2 receptor subtype 1 (DP1) blocker] statin-based therapies does not significantly decrease risk events, but increases serious adverse Here, we tested whether, how, beneficial on...

Autologous adipose-derived stromal cells (ASCs) offer great promise as angiogenic cell therapy for ischemic diseases. Because of their limited self-renewal capacity and pluripotentiality, the therapeutic efficacy ASCs is still relatively low. Thromboxane has been shown to play an important role in maintenance vascular homeostasis. However, little known about effects thromboxane on ASC-mediated angiogenesis.To explore thromboxane-prostanoid receptor (TP) mediating vivo.ASCs were prepared from...

Abstract Prostanoids are endogenous lipid bioactive mediators that play essential roles in physiological processes such as glucocorticoid secretion. Here, it is found the thromboxane (Tx)A 2 receptor (TP) highly expressed adrenal cortex of mice. Both global and adrenocortical‐specific deletion TP lead to increased adiposity mice by elevating corticosterone synthesis.
