Abstract:
Prostacyclin (PGI2), a potent vasodilator and inhibitor of platelet aggregation and leukocyte activation, is crucial in vascular diseases such as stroke. Prostacyclin synthase (PGIS) is the key enzyme for PGI2 synthesis. Although expression of PGIS was noted in the brain, its role in ischemic insult remains unclear. Here we reported the temporal and spatial expression of PGIS mRNA and protein after 60-min transient ischemia. Northern blot and in situ hybridization revealed a delayed increase of PGIS mRNA in the ischemic cortex at 24- to 72-h after ischemia; PGIS was detected mainly in the ipsi

Abstract:
Prostaglandins (PGs) are critical regulators of a number of reproductive processes. To date, the presence and regulation of PGS in the rat endometrium have not yet been described. The objective of the present study was to investigate the expression of PGD synthase (PGDS) and prostacyclin synthase (PGIS) in the endometrium. Endometrial proteins and tissues were collected from cyclic non-pregnant, pregnant, and steroid-induced pseudopregnant rats. PGIS and PGDS were detected in the endometrium of cyclic, pregnant, and pseudopregnant rats but were not influenced by the estrous cycle. During early

Abstract:
SUMMARY Prostacyclin (PGI2) is a labile, lipid-derived metabolite of arachidonic acid synthesized through the sequential action of cyclo-oxygenase (COX) and prostacyclin synthase (PGIS). In addition to its well-characterized vasodilatory and thrombolytic effects, an increasing number of studies report an important role of PGI2 in nociception in various animal species. In this study we investigated the regional distribution of PGIS in human brain by immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization. PGIS-immunoreactive (ir) protein was localized to blood vessels throughout the brain. Neuronal cell

Abstract:
Prostaglandins (PGs) are key regulatory factors that affect bone metabolism. Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) regulates bone resorption and bone formation. Prostacyclin (PGI2) is one of the major products derived from arachidonic acid by the action of cyclooxygenase and PGI2 synthase (PGIS). Unlike PGE2, there are few reports about the role of PGI2 in bone regulation. Therefore, we investigated the potential effect of PGI2 on bone metabolism. We used PGIS knockout (PGIS−/−), PGIS heterozygous (PGIS+/−), and wild-type mice to investigate the role of PGI2. Notably, PGIS−/− mice gradually displayed an inc

Prostacyclin (PGI2) plays a critical role in nephrogenesis and renal physiology. However, our understanding of how prostacyclin release in the kidney is regulated remains poorly defined. We studied expression of prostacyclin synthase (PGIS) in developing and adult human kidneys, and also in selected pediatric renal diseases. We also examined PGI2formation in human mesangial cellsin vitro. We observed abundant expression of PGIS in the nephrogenic cortex in humans andin situhybridization revealed an identical pattern in mice.

Abstract:
Sepsis-related acute kidney injury (AKI) is the leading cause of AKI in intensive care units. Endotoxin is a primary initiator of inflammatory and hemodynamic consequences of sepsis and is associated with experimental AKI. The present study was undertaken to further examine the role of the endothelium, specifically prostacyclin (PGI2), in the pathogenesis of endotoxemia-related AKI. A low dose of endotoxin (LPS, 1 mg/kg) in wild-type (WT) mice was associated with stable glomerular filtration rate (GFR) (164.0 ± 16.7 vs. 173.3 ± 6.7 μl/min, P = not significant) as urinary excretion of 6-keto-PG

Biosensor experiments on investigation of interaction between prostacyclin synthase (PGIS) and different proteins of the cytochrome P450 monooxygenase systems were perfomed. Interaction of PGIS with microsomal (CYP21A2, CYP2E1) and mitochondrial (CYP27A1, CYP11B1, CYP11B2, CYP11A1) cytochrome P450s was detected. Kinetic and equilibrium parameters of protein complexes formation were determined. Data obtained suggest an essential role of these hemoproteins interaction in regulation of prostacyclin and thromboxane A2 biosynthesis.

Prostacyclin (PGI2), a potent vasodilator and platelet antiaggregatory eicosanoid, is cytoprotective in cerebral circulation. It is synthesized from arachidonic acid (AA) by the sequential action of cyclooxygenase- (COX-) 1 or 2 and prostacyclin synthase (PGIS). Because prostacyclin is unstablein vivo, PGI2analogs have been developed and demonstrated to protect against brain ischemia.

Endogenously formed prostacyclin (PGI2) and synthetic PGI2analogues have recently been shown to regulate cell survival in various cell lines. To elucidate the significance of PGI2in human breast cancer, we performed immunohistochemistry to analyze expression of prostacyclin-synthase (PGIS) in 248 human breast cancer specimens obtained from surgical pathology files. We examined patients’ 10-year survival retrospectively by sending a questionnaire to their general practitioners and performed univariate analysis to determine whether PGIS expression correlated with patient survival.

Abstract:
Results from our molecular-modelling and site-directed-mutagenesis studies of prostaglandin I2 synthase (PGIS) have suggested that the large PGIS cytoplasmic domain is anchored to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane by the N-terminal segment in a way that orients the substrate access channel opening to face the membrane. To test this hypothesis we have explored the accessibility of the PGIS substrate channel opening to site-specific antibodies.

Abstract:
Human umbilical endothelial cell (EC) monolayers incubated with eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) produce small amounts of prostaglandin E3 (PGI3). We have previously shown that this metabolite is markedly enhanced in EC supernatant by co-incubating EPA with arachidonic acid (AA) (BBRC 135, 403, 1986). Moreover we found that PGF3a and PGE3 were similarly enhanced, and we concluded that such a stimulation occured at the cyclooxygenase rather than at the prostacyclin synthase level. It is generally assumed that cyclooxygenase is a peroxide-dependent enzyme and the present study shows that the potentia

Suppression of endothelial prostacyclin (PGI2) by cyclooxygenase inhibition may contribute to the formation of neointimal hyperplasia. While aspirin (ASA) inhibits platelet function for several days, it returns to normal within 24 hours after indobufen (IDB), a reversible cyclooxygenase inhibitor, suggesting that prostacyclin may recover at an even faster rate. In a randomised, controlled study, recovery of platelet and endothelial cell prostaglandin synthesis was compared in 49 New Zealand white rabbits following indobufen (3.5 mg/kg) or aspirin (5 mg/kg).
