Dendritic cells (DCs), also referred to as the sentinels of the immune system, induce and coordinate important functions of immune surveillance. Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), a member of the eicosanoid family of arachidonic acid derivatives, is widely used to enhance the

15-Deoxy-delta12,14-prostaglandin-J(2) (15d-PGJ(2)) has potent anti-inflammatory effects including the inhibition of interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta)-induced expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) production in several cell types. 15d-PGJ(2) contains an alpha,beta-unsaturated electrophilic ketone and several evidences suggest that thiol reducing agents prevent

Cyclopentenone (A2/J2) isoprostanes (IsoPs) are a group of prostaglandin (PG)-like compounds generated in vivo from the free radical-induced peroxidation of arachidonic acid. Unlike other classes of IsoPs, cyclopentenone IsoPs contain highly reactive unsaturated carbonyl moieties on the prostane ring analogous

Prostaglandin(PG)s of the A and J series are categorized as antitumor, antiviral PGs. They have a reactive alpha, beta-unsaturated carbonyl in the cyclopentenone ring, which could be the active moiety. They are actively incorporated into cells and in part transferred

Prostaglandins (PGs) and other eicosanoids are oxygenated metabolites of arachidonic acid and two other C(20) polyunsaturated fatty acids. While most well studied in mammals, PGs exert important actions in insects and virtually all other invertebrates. We have been researching the
