Research Abstract |
We here investigated the pathophysiological role of an anti-inflammatory mediator prostaglandin D2. We found that 1) integral membrane protein Caveolin-1 modulates prostaglandin synthase activity, 2) urinary metabolite of prostaglandin D2 might be biomarker of various inflammatory diseases, 3) prostaglandin D2 signal enhancement inhibit the progressions of inflammatory diseases, 4) inhibition of prostaglandin D2 synthase leads vascular and tissue regenerations. These observations provide new insights for future therapy against inflammatory diseases and tissue re-generation.
