Background |
Prostaglandins
are known to affect the nervous system and can modulate synaptic transmission
and neurotransmitter release, the sleep/wake cycle, fever, pain, and the immune
system. Prostaglandin E2 receptor, EP1 subtype (EP1/PTGER1) is a receptor for
prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). The members of the EP receptor family, EP1, EP2, EP3,
and EP4, elicit their actions by altering cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)
or intracellular calcium concentrations. EP1 activates phospholipase C and
phosphatidylinositol turnover and stimulates the release of intracellular
calcium via a Gi/Gq-coupled mechanism. EP2 and EP4 both signal through a
Gs-coupled mechanism that stimulates adenylyl cyclase and increases
intracellular levels of cAMP. EP1 appears to mediate the effects of PGE2 in
promoting the formation of precancerous lesions in animal models of colon
cancer. In addition, EP1 has an inhibitory effect on stress-induced aggressive
and risk-taking behaviors in mice. |
Figure 1. PGE2-induced concentration-dependent stimulation of intracellular calcium mobilization in HEK293/EP1 cells. The cells were loaded with Calcium-4 prior to being stimulated with agonist PGE2. The intracellular calcium change was normalized and measured by FLIPR. The relative fluorescent units (RFU) were normalized and plotted against the log of the cumulative doses of PGE2 (Mean ± SEM, n = 3). The EC50 of PGE2 on this cell was 0.134 nM.
Notes:
EC50 value is calculated with four parameter logistic equation:
Y=Bottom + (Top-Bottom) / (1+10^((LogEC50-X)*Hill Slope))
X is the logarithm of concentration. Y is the response
Y is % stimulation of RFU and starts at Bottom and goes to Top with a sigmoid shape.
