摘要: We evaluated the role of endothelin-1 (ET-1), a vasoconstrictor peptide, to regulate prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase (PGHS)-1 and -2 gene expression protein synthesis in cultured rat mesangial cells (MC). ET-1 induced mRNA for PGHS-2 but not PGHS-1 also stimulated accumulation MC. induction was accompanied by sustained enhancement enzymatic activity assessed conversion arachidonic acid E2. The ET-1-stimulated reduced with tyrosine kinase C inhibitors or C-depleted cells. Both dexamethasone heparin ET-1-activated formation. conclude that MC, induces through kinase-dependent pathway.
