PGE2 treatment induced expression of the EP1 and EP3 receptors, sug gesting that these two receptors are likely involved in the invasiveness by MCF 7 DOX cells. Both EP1 and EP3 receptors played an important role in Cox 2 induced invasion of MCF 7 DOX cells. We showed MAPK 活性化 that selective inhibition of EP1 and EP3 using siRNAs inhib ited PGE2 induced invasion of MCF 7 DOX cells, as well as expression of MMP 2 and MMP 9. A previous study showed increased Cox 2 expression in patients with poorly differentiated breast cancer and poor clinical outcomes for patients treated with doxorubicin, However, the expression pattern of EP receptors has never been studied in breast cancer. Therefore, our find ings are the first to suggest a pivotal role for the EP1 and EP3 receptors in doxorubicin resistant breast cancer cells. Conclusions Together, we have demonstrated that invasiveness of MK-1775 MCF 7 DOX cells results from Cox 2 activation, which is induced by either the EGFR activated PI3K Akt or MAPK pathway. Inhibiting Cox 2 or the EGFR pathway effectively inhibited invasiveness of MCF 7 DOX cells. We also found that the EP receptors EP1 and EP3 are important for Cox 2 induced invasion of MCF 7 DOX cells. Therefore, not only Cox 2 but also EP1 and EP3 could be important targets for chemosensitizing and inhibiting metastasis in chemotherapy resistant breast cancers. We further demonstrated that I kB decrease was accompan ied by increased nuclear localization of p65 protein. These results suggest that PCN induces degradation of and the subsequent translocation of to the nucleus. The results also showed that different blockers can reduce the expression of p65 expression in cytosol and IL 8 expression, indicating that PCN may stimulate PMA differentiated U937 cells to express cytokines IL 8 by MAPK and signaling pathways. Acute and chronic pulmonary infection with P. aerugi nosa is associated with an intense neutrophil inflamma tory response that contributes MS-275 HDAC 阻害剤 to lung injury, A previous study has shown that PCN enhances airway epi thelial cell release of IL 8, a neutrophil chemokine whose production is regulated by oxidant sensitive tran scription factors, Our data indicated that PCN could induce oxidative damage in U937 cells and antioxi dant NAC inhibited PCN induced IL 8 protein expres sion. In most cases, PCNs cytotoxicity has been strongly linked to its potential effects on redox cycle. When enter ing into cells, PCN oxidizes intracellular pools of NADPH, NADH and GSH directly by accepting electrons, and it passes these electrons to oxygen leading to sustained gen eration of ROS under aerobic condition, Oxidative damage results in unbalance between the oxidant and antioxidant processes. Antioxidant defense system plays an important role in the elimination of oxygen radical, Cellular GSH levels have been reported to influence the activity of a number of transcription factors, including , AP 1, and HIF 1, NAC is a thiol compound that has direct anti oxidant properties and also is converted to GSH by cells and thereby limits oxidant mediated cell injury. By dem onstrating the inhibitory effect of NAC on PCN induced IL 8 production, we indicate that NAC can act as a pro tective factor that mitigates PCN pro inflammatory effect on differentiated U937 cells.
