1 However, a mixture of cytokines (interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta), tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha) and interferon gamma (IFN gamma) each at 10 ng ml-1) induced COX-2 mRNA expression, which was maximal at 12 h and inhibited by dexamethasone (1 microM; added 30 min before the cytokines). Dexamethasone mitochondrially encoded cytochrome c oxidase II Homo sapiens
2 Furthermore, COX-2 protein was detected 24 h after the cytokine treatment and the expression of this protein was also inhibited by dexamethasone (1 microM) and cyclohexamide (10 micrograms ml-1; added 30 min before the cytokines). Dexamethasone mitochondrially encoded cytochrome c oxidase II Homo sapiens
