1 In XPA-deficient mice, the amount of PGE2 and the expression level of COX-2 mRNA greatly increased after UVB irradiation compared with wild-type mice. Dinoprostone xeroderma pigmentosum, complementation group A Mus musculus
2 These results suggest that the excess DNA photoproducts remaining in XPA-deficient cells after UV radiation induce COX-2 expression and subsequently produce a high amount of PGE2, which causes the enhancement of inflammation and immunosuppression. Dinoprostone xeroderma pigmentosum, complementation group A Mus musculus
