Open PublicationDexamethasone inhibits mPGES-1 expression in activated macrophages in an MKP-1 dependent manner. (A) Effects of dexamethasone on peritoneal macrophages from wild-type and MKP-1 knock-out (KO) mice. Cells were incubated with LPS in the presence or absence of dexamethasone for 24 h. mPGES-1 mRNA levels were measured by quantitative RT-PCR and normalized against GAPDH mRNA levels. Results are expressed in arbitrary units, mPGES-1 mRNA levels in unstimulated cells from wild type mice were set as 1, and the other values were related to that. Results are expressed as mean + SEM, n = 4. One-way ANOVA with Bonferroni's post-test was performed and statistical significance is indicated as ***P < 0.001 and ns = not significant. #P = 0.0286 vs unstimulated cells from wild-type mice. (B) Effect of dexamethasone on mPGES-1 mRNA production in J774 murine macrophages. Cells were stimulated with LPS in the presence or absence of dexamethasone for 24 h. mPGES-1 mRNA levels were measured by quantitative RT-PCR and normalized against GAPDH mRNA levels. Results are expressed in arbitrary units, mPGES-1 mRNA levels in LPS-stimulated cells were set as 100 % and the other values were related to that. Results are expressed as mean + SEM, n = 6–7. One-way ANOVA with Bonferroni's post-test was performed and statistical significance is indicated as ***P < 0.001. (C) Effect of dexamethasone on mPGES-1 protein expression in J774 murine macrophages. Cells were stimulated with LPS in the presence or absence of dexamethasone for 24 h. mPGES-1 protein levels were measured by Western blot analysis and actin was used as a loading control. Results are expressed in arbitrary units, mPGES-1 protein levels in LPS-stimulated cells were set as 100% and the other values were related to that. Results are expressed as mean + SEM, n = 6. One-way ANOVA with Bonferroni's post-test was performed and statistical significance is indicated as ***P < 0.001. Shown is a representative gel of six with similar results.

(A) Effects of a JNK inhibitor (SP600125), a p38 inhibitor (SB203580) and dexamethasone on mPGES-1 mRNA production in J774 murine macrophages. Cells were incubated with LPS and the compounds under investigation for 24 h. mPGES-1 mRNA levels were measured by quantitative RT-PCR and normalized against GAPDH mRNA levels.

Open PublicationEffects of the PDE4 inhibitor rolipram and dexamethasone on mPGES?1 expression in murine J774 macrophages. Cells were incubated with bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and rolipram or dexamethasone (which was used as a control compound) for 24 h. mPGES?1 mRNA levels were measured by quantitative RT?PCR and normalized against GAPDH mRNA levels (A). mPGES?1 protein expression was measured by Western blot where actin was used as a loading control (B). mPGES?1 expression levels in unstimulated (control) cells were set as 1 and the other values were related to that. Results are expressed as mean + SEM, n = 6–7 (A) and 5–6 (B). One?way ANOVA with Bonferroni's post?test was performed and statistical significance is indicated as **P < 0.01 and ***P < 0.001.
