PGE2 induces COX-2 expression in podocytes via the EP4 receptor through a PKA-independent mechanism حسب Faour, Wissam

"…In the present study we further delineate the signaling pathways regulating podocyte COX-2 induction. Time course experiments carried out in conditionally-immortalized mouse podocytes revealed that PGE2 transiently increased phosphorylated p38 MAPK levels at 10 min, and induced COX-2 protein expression at 4 h. siRNA-mediated knockdown of EP4 receptor expression, unlike treatment with the EP1 receptor antagonist SC 19220, completely abrogated PGE2-induced p38 phosphorylation and COX-2 upregulation suggesting the involvement of the EP4 receptor subtype. …"
