1 Cooperative effects of sequential PGF2alpha and IL-1beta on IL-6 and COX-2 expression in human myometrial cells . Dinoprost interleukin 6 Homo sapiens
2 Sequential stimulation of HMSMC by PGF2alpha and IL-1beta in either order results in amplified upregulation of IL-6 and COX-2 mRNA and protein, compared to their effects individually. Dinoprost interleukin 6 Homo sapiens
3 These results suggest that PGF2alpha and IL-1beta act cooperatively upstream in the birth cascade to maximize amplification of IL-6 and COX-2, to build inflammatory load and thereby promote uterine transition. Dinoprost interleukin 6 Homo sapiens
4 Targeting PGF2alpha or IL-1beta, their actions, or intermediates (e.g. IL-6) would be an effective therapeutic intervention for preterm birth prevention or delay. Dinoprost interleukin 6 Homo sapiens
