Abstract

Catalysis of arachidonic acid (AA) by cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) gives rise to a single product that serves as a precursor for all prostaglandins, which are central mediators of inflammation. Rapid up-regulation of COX-2 expression in response to pro-inflammatory stimuli is a well-characterized means of generating the large pool of prostaglandins necessary for inflammation. However, an efficient inflammatory process must also terminate rapidly and thus requires cessation of COX-2 enzymatic activity and removal of excess protein from the cell. Previous studies showed that COX-2 that has not been exposed to AA ('naive') degrades in the cellular proteasome. However, continuous exposure to AA induces suicide inactivation of COX-2 and its elimination no longer occurs in neither the proteasomal nor lysosomal machineries. In the present study, we show that either overexpressed or endogenously induced COX-2 is secreted via exosomes through the endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi pathway. We further find that excretion of COX-2 is significantly enhanced by prolonged exposure to AA. Genetic or chemical inhibition of COX-2 enzymatic activity has no effect on its secretion in the absence of substrate, but prevents the additional activity-dependent s...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
