1 PGE2 is a well-established endogenous pyrogen activated by proinflammatory cytokine interleukin (IL)-1beta. Dinoprostone interleukin 1 beta Mus musculus
2 Here we show that P2X7R activation is required for the release of PGE2 and other autacoids independent of inflammasome activation, with an ATP EC(50) for PGE2 and IL-1beta release of 1.58 and 1.23 mM, respectively. Dinoprostone interleukin 1 beta Mus musculus
