| Abstract | Plasma prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) levels are markedly elevated in acute Kawasaki disease (KD). We evaluated the function of the EP receptors in the expression of activated β1-integrin stimulated by PGE2 in human coronary arterial endothelial cells (HCAEC).We determined the mRNA expression of the PGE2 receptors, EP receptors (EP1-4) in HCAEC by RT-PCR and protein expression by Western blotting. We evaluated the function of the EP receptors in the expression of activated β1-integrin stimulated by PGE2 in HCAEC, using antagonists and agonists of the EP receptors, by flow cytometry.RT-PCR revealed mRNAs for all four EP receptors in HCAEC. Western blotting demonstrated EP1, EP2 and EP3 expression in HCAEC. The EP2 and EP3 agonists enhanced the expression of activated β1-integrin in HCAEC. The potency of the EP2 agonist was significantly greater than that of the EP3 agonist. Pretreatment with the EP1, EP2 and EP3 antagonists inhibited the expression of activated β1-integrin induced by PGE2 in HCAEC. The potency of the EP2 antagonist was significantly greater than that of the EP1 and EP3 antagonists.Our results suggest that PGE2 mainly induces the activation of β1-integrins via the EP2 receptor in HCAEC. Our results further suggest that the EP2 antagonist modulates the inflammatory response during KD vasculitis. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
