1 Our objective was to evaluate interleukin (IL)-1alpha-induced production of PGE2 and PGF2alpha in endometrial stromal cells (ESC) following treatment with ceramide analogues. Dinoprost interleukin 1 alpha Homo sapiens
2 PGF2alpha production was further increased by treatment with the combination of IL-1alpha and C2-ceramide as compared with IL-1alpha treatment alone. Dinoprost interleukin 1 alpha Homo sapiens
3 PGF2alpha production was further increased by treatment with the combination of IL-1alpha and C2-ceramide as compared with IL-1alpha treatment alone. Dinoprost interleukin 1 alpha Homo sapiens
4 Both PGE2 and PGF2alpha production were significantly increased by treatment with IL-1alpha and C6-ceramide as compared with IL-1alpha treatment alone. Dinoprost interleukin 1 alpha Homo sapiens
5 CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that IL-1alpha stimulates the production of PGE2 and PGF2alpha by a mechanism that involves the sphingomyelin-ceramide system, and thus that ceramide may be important in increasing the production of PGE2 and PGF2alpha in the human endometrium. Dinoprost interleukin 1 alpha Homo sapiens
