Abstract

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are widely used to treat inflammation and pain. In the present study, we examined the effects of celecoxib, a cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2)-selective NSAID, on rat liver mitochondrial function. Celecoxib dose-dependently induced mitochondria swelling, which was not suppressed by cyclosporine A (CsA). The oxygen consumption rate in mitochondria-suspended solution was facilitated by the addition of celecoxib, and its uncoupling activity was observed. Celecoxib also suppressed SF6847-induced uncoupling, and appeared to exert inhibitory effects on the electron transport chain. Celecoxib suppressed the state 3 oxygen consumption rate in the presence of ADP. Protein release from the mitochondrial matrix was detected following the addition of celecoxib, and aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) and hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) synthase 2 (HMGCS2) bands were confirmed in a Western blot analysis. On the other hand, protein release of cytochrome C (CytC), which is an inducer of apoptosis, from the intermembrane space was not observed. Celecoxib enhanced the membrane permeability of human erythrocytes and synthesized liposomes dose-dependently. It then induced the membrane-involving mitochondrial...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

Anti-inflammatory Treatments

A drug or substance that reduces inflammation (redness, swelling, and pain) in the body. Anti-inflammatory agents block certain substances in the body that cause inflammation and swelling. Discover the latest research on anti-inflammatory treatments here
