Proteinase-Activated Receptor-2-Triggered Prostaglandin E2 Release, but Not Cyclooxygenase-2 Upregulation, Requires Activation of the Phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase / Akt / Nuclear Factor-κB Pathway in Human Alveolar Epithelial Cells
Proteinase-activated receptor-2 (PAR2) triggers upregulation of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) formation in human alveolar epithelial A549 cells. This COX-2 upregulation appears to involve the Src / epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor / p38 MAP kinase (p38MAPK) pathway and a...
