Lecture 6: Prostaglandins and Anti-inflammatory Agents Flashcards
IL-1ß
systemically
- promotes fever and production of IL-6
TNF-alpha
systemically
- promotes fever
- mobilization of metabolites
- shock
IL-6
lymphocyte activation, increased Ab production
- fever
IL-12
- activates NK cells induces differentiation of CD4 t cells into Th1 cells
Activated macrophages secrete a range of cytokines
IL-1ß, TNF-alpha, IL-6, CXCL8, and IL-12
hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase
enzyme that acts on the C15 hydroxy group of prostaglandins to convert to a ketone
carbonyl reductase 1
reduces the ketone at C9 (if there is one)
PGE2
vessels
- vasodilation
bronchi
- bronchodilation
stomach
- inhibition of gastric acid secretion
- motility
uterus
- contraction and parturition
HPA axis
- increase in hypothalamic and pituitary hormone secretion
PGE1
Platelets
- anti-aggregation
Intestines
- motility
- nausea and diarrhea
Kidney
- filtration and renal blood flow
HPA axis
- increase in hypothalamic and pituitary hormone secretion
PGF2
vessels
- vasoconstriction
uterus
- contraction and parturition
PGF2-alpha
bronchi
- bronchoconstriction
Intestines
- motility
- nausea and diarrhea
stomach
- motility
PGI2
Vessels
- vasodilation (most active PG at this)
platelets
- anti-aggregation
Bronchi
- bronchodilation
stomach
- inhibition of gastric acid secretion
Kidney
- filtration and renal blood flow
PGD2
vessels
- vasodilation
PGs acting on vessels
- vasoconstriction: PGF2 (eff)
- vasodilation: PGI2, PGE2, PGD2 (DIE)
all 2s
PGs acting on platelets
- anti-aggregation: PGE1, PGI2
