摘要
The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanisms through which bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulates prostaglandin (PG) production in rat hypothalamic astroglial cells in vitro. The latter were treated with LPS alone or LPS plus antagonists of the interleukin-1 (IL-1) and nitric oxide (NO) pathways, and the subsequent changes in cyclooxygenase (COX) activity were monitored by measuring a COX end-product, prostaglandin E-2 (PGE(2)), released into the incubation medium. LPS produced a concentration-dependent increase in PGE, release from astroglia after 24 h incubation; experiments with selective antagonists showed that the increase in PGE(2) release induced by LPS may be, at least in part, mediated by IL-1 and NO.
