| Research Abstract |
Prostaglandin E2 is a lipid mediator, and EP3 is one of the receptor of PGE2. Administration of a EP3 selective agonist significantly suppressed mouse contact hypersensitivity response. EP3 signaling inhibited chemokine production from keratinocytes and suppressed inflammatory cell infiltration in contact hypersensitivity.
