Thromboxane A2 stimulates neurite outgrowth in cerebral cortical neurons via mitogen activated protein kinase signaling
2015, Brain ResearchCitation Excerpt :TP receptor consists of two isoforms, TPα and TPβ, which are produced via alternative mRNA splicing, and TPα mRNA expression is dominant in the brain and vascular endothelial cells (Miggin and Kinsella, 1998). Although TP receptor is expressed on neurons in the central nervous system (CNS) (Gao et al., 1997), identified roles of TXA2 in neurons has been limited to cell protection against neurotoxicity (Cazevieille et al., 1994; Wu et al., 2007). Here, we report a novel role for TXA2 in promoting neurite outgrowth in cortical neurons based on mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation.
Prostaglandin D<inf>2</inf> toxicity in primary neurons is mediated through its bioactive cyclopentenone metabolites
2013, NeuroToxicologyCitation Excerpt :PGD2 is the most abundant prostaglandin in brain and has been shown to be involved in the regulation of body temperature, the sleep–wake cycle, blood flow, neurotransmission and pain responses (Abdel-Halim et al., 1980; Chiu and Richardson, 1985). PGD2 has been shown to have both protective and toxic effects in various models of CNS and neuronal injury, thus its role in modulating neuronal injury in disease states remains controversial (Li et al., 2008; Liang et al., 2005; Taniguchi et al., 2007; Wu et al., 2007; Xiang et al., 2007). PGD2 may protect neurons from glutamate toxicity or ischemia–reperfusion injury through the activation of DP1 receptors in neuronal cells (Liang et al., 2005).
Prostaglandin receptor EP2 in the crosshairs of anti-inflammation, anti-cancer, and neuroprotection
2013, Trends in Pharmacological SciencesCitation Excerpt :EP2 expression is substantially induced during systemic inflammation in models of innate immunity produced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS), IL-1β, or turpentine [80]. EP2 upregulation by LPS contributes to cerebral oxidative damage and secondary neurotoxicity, usually accompanied by induction of NOS and COX activities [81–83]. As the resident macrophages in the brain, microglia are the major executors of innate immunity in the CNS and their activities are highly regulated by PGE2–EP2 signaling [52,84–86].

2012, Biomedicine and Aging PathologyCitation Excerpt :However, in a study by the Northeast ALS Consortium, celecoxib, which is a specific COX2 inhibitor, failed to show positive effects on neuronal survival [25]. There have been controversial results, but it is now obvious that COX-2 facilitates neuronal plasticity [22,26–29]. The overexpression of COX-2 due to inflammatory induction may cause neurodegeneration; however, its lack at basal levels, as shown in the current study, may also impair neuronal functions, which may lead to exacerbations in SMA patients [30].
