1 RESULTS: Addition of reIL-1beta increased the expression of COX-2 in a dose-dependent manner, which was paralleled by an increased concentration of PGE2 in culture medium. Dinoprostone cytochrome c oxidase subunit II Equus caballus
2 CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Prostaglandin E2 is considered to be an important mediator in the pathophysiologic processes of arthritis, and cultured chondrocytes respond to interleukin-1 with enhanced expression and activity of COX-2. Dinoprostone cytochrome c oxidase subunit II Equus caballus
