Q

State the role of COX-1 & COX-2 enzymes [4]

A

Take arachidonic acid and convert to prostaglandin G2

Prostaglandin G2 converts to Prostaglandin H2

PH2 then converted to tissue specific prostaglandins

Different prostaglandins are found in different tissues and have different effects.

Prostaglandins are local tissue hormones; made in the tissue where you need it

Q

Which pathway do NSAIDs specifically inhibit? [1]

A

Stop AA to Prostaglandin G2

18
Q

Describe the difference in shape of COX 1 and COX 2

A

COX1: narrower
COX2: wider entrance, less rigid more flexible and has side pocket active site: wider binding site in COX-2

Difference is around mouth of hydrophobic channel making it less rigid than COX1 and position 523 (COX1=isoleucine, COX2=valine)

19
Q

What are the classes of prostaglandins? [3]

A

D, E and F
Prostacyclin (PGI2)
Thomboxane A

20
Q

State when COX-1 & COX-2 are released [2]

A

COX-1 produced during normal homeostatic processes and produces constant supply of prostaglandins

COX-2 produced when tissue injury occurs

21
Q

State two functions of homeostatic COX-1 [2]

A

. Protect the lining of the stomach & increase bloodflow of the kidney

22
Q

State when each of the following are produced

PGD
PGE
PGF
PGI2
TXA2

A
23
Q

Which prostaglandin causes the most bronchoconstriction in asthma patients?

PGE2
PGD2
PGI2
PGF2α
TXA2

A

PGD2

24
Q

Which prostaglandin causes has mixed vascular effects (constriction and dilation)?

PGE2
PGD2
PGI2
PGF2α
TXA2

A

PGF2α

25
Q

Which prostaglandins cause uterine contraction? [2]

PGE2
PGD2
PGI2
PGF2α
TXA2

A

PGF2α;
TXA2

26
Q

Which prostaglandin causes uterine relaxation?

PGE2
PGD2
PGI2
PGF2α
TXA2

A

Which prostaglandin causes uterine relaxation?

PGE2
PGD2
PGI2
PGF2α
TXA2

27
Q

Which prostaglandin causes inhibits platelet aggregation?

PGE2
PGD2
PGI2
PGF2α
TXA2

A

PGI2

28
Q

Which prostaglandin causes induces platelet aggregation?

PGE2
PGD2
PGI2
PGF2α
TXA2

A

TXA2

29
Q

Which prostaglandin suppresses lymphocytes?

PGE2
PGD2
PGI2
PGF2α
TXA2

A

PGE2

30
Q

Describe the differences of action of COX-1 and COX-2

A
31
Q

Describe the mechanism of action of COX enzymes in joint pathology [2]

A

COX2 mRNA and protein is increased in joints with osteo or rheumatoid arthritis:
* IL1, TNF and IL17: stimulates iNOS, which induces COX2
* Mechanical stress may directly activate production of PGE2

32
Q

Which COX enzyme is mainly present in the stomach? [1]
Which prostaglandin does this make? [1]

Explain the affect of NSAIDs on the stomach [1]

A

Mainly COX1 isoform: normal PGE2 helps gastric mucosa

But NSAIDS inhibit COX-1 and and induce COX-2: reduce the protection of the stomach and can lead to the development of gastric ulcers, gastritis

Increases chance of gastric ulcer

33
Q

In the stomach, NSAIDs for long periods blocks which prostaglandin generation?

PGE2
PGD2
PGI2
PGF2α
TXA2

A

PGE2

34
Q

Describe the affects of COX enzymes in CV system [2]

A

PGI2 (prostacyclin) from COX2 in endothelial cells prevents platelet aggregation and vasodilation

Thromboxane A2 from COX1 in platelets promotes aggregation and vasoconstriction

35
Q

Describe the DDI of aspirin and ibupofren in CV system

A

Aspirin binds to COX-1 and binds to serine; produces irreversible covalent chain. Stops the platelet from producing thromboxane A2; which is an anti-coagulant effect.

Ibuprofen; binds to same serine chain; but is reversible; which is why is not an anti-coagulant.

When ibuprofen is given, aspirin cant bind to COX-1 and produce anti-coagulant affect

36
Q

Spinal Cord & CNS

What is the role of COX2 in this location? [1]

Under what conditions is COX-2 found in the spinal cord and CNS? [1]

A

Find both COX1 & COX2 in resting conditions

COX2 is important in spinal nociceptive transmission

37
Q
A
38
Q

Role of COX-1 [2] and COX-2 [1] in the kidney?
Via which prostaglandins? [2]

A

COX1: produces PGE2 and PGI2
* PGE2: regulates sodium reabsoprtion
* PGI2 regulates potassium excretion

COX2:
* present in small amounts in macula densa but increases in salt deprivation

39
Q
A
40
Q

How much inhibition of COX-2 is needed for a therapeutic affect? [2]

A

All NSAIDs depend on COX2 inhibition for therapeutic effects.

Most also inhibit COX1 to some extent at normal clinical doses, this gives the unwanted effects

Substantial evidence that NSAIDs and COX2 inhibitors have their maximum anti-inflammatory effect when COX2 is inhibited by about 80%
