Inducible isoforms of cyclooxygenase and nitric-oxide synthase in inflammation.
- J. Vane, J. Mitchell, +4 authors D. Willoughby
- Medicine, Biology
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences…
- 15 March 1994
Cyclooxygenase (COX) converts arachidonic acid to prostaglandin H2, which is further metabolized to prostanoids. Two isoforms of COX exist: a constitutive (COX-1) and an inducible (COX-2) enzyme.… Expand
Aberrant inflammation and resistance to glucocorticoids in Annexin 1−/− Mouse
- Robert Hannon, J. Croxtall, +8 authors R. Flower
- Biology, Medicine
- FASEB journal : official publication of the…
- 1 February 2003
The 37‐kDa protein annexin 1 (Anx‐1; lipocortin 1) has been implicated in the regulation of phagocytosis, cell signaling, and proliferation and is postulated to be a mediator of glucocorticoid action… Expand
Induction of cyclo‐oxygenase‐2 by cytokines in human pulmonary epithelial cells: regulation by dexamethasone
- J. Mitchell, M. Belvisi, +5 authors J. Vane
- Biology, Medicine
- British journal of pharmacology
- 1 November 1994
1 Cyclo‐oxygenase metabolizes arachidonic acid to prostaglandin H2 (PGH2) and exists in at least two isoforms. Cyclo‐oxygenase‐1 (COX‐1) is expressed constitutively whereas COX‐2 is induced by… Expand
Glucocorticoids act within minutes to inhibit recruitment of signalling factors to activated EGF receptors through a receptor‐dependent, transcription‐independent mechanism
- J. Croxtall, Q. Choudhury, R. Flower
- Biology, Medicine
- British journal of pharmacology
- 1 May 2000
Recruitment to activated tyrosine kinase growth factor receptors of Grb2 and p21ras leads to downstream activation of the kinases Raf, MAPK/Erk kinase (Mek) and, subsequently, extracellular… Expand
A novel role for phospholipase A2 isoforms in the checkpoint control of acute inflammation
- D. Gilroy, Justine Newson, P. Sawmynaden, D. Willoughby, J. Croxtall
- Biology, Medicine
- FASEB journal : official publication of the…
- 1 March 2004
Acute inflammation can be considered in terms of a series of checkpoints where each phase of cellular influx, persistence, and clearance is controlled by endogenous stop and go signals. It is… Expand
Lipocortin 1 mediates dexamethasone-induced growth arrest of the A549 lung adenocarcinoma cell line.
- J. Croxtall, R. Flower
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences…
- 15 April 1992
The synthetic glucocorticoid dexamethasone (1 microM to 1 pM) strongly (maximum greater than 80%) inhibits proliferation of the A549 human lung adenocarcinoma line (EC50 greater than 1 nM) and leads… Expand
Different glucocorticoids vary in their genomic and non‐genomic mechanism of action in A549 cells
- J. Croxtall, P. V. van Hal, Q. Choudhury, D. Gilroy, R. Flower
- Biology, Medicine
- British journal of pharmacology
- 1 January 2002
We have examined the effects of 12 glucocorticoids as inhibitors of A549 cell growth. Other than cortisone and prednisone, all the glucocorticoids inhibited cell growth and this was strongly… Expand
Mobilizing lipocortin 1 in adherent human leukocytes downregulates their transmigration
- M. Perretti, J. Croxtall, S. K. Wheller, N. Goulding, Robert Hannon, R. Flower
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature Medicine
- 1 November 1996
Polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) migration into sites of inflammation is fundamental to the host defense response. Activation of endothelial cells and PMNs increases the expression or activation of… Expand
Lipocortin 1 and the control of cPLA2 activity in A549 cells. Glucocorticoids block EGF stimulation of cPLA2 phosphorylation.
- J. Croxtall, Q. Choudhury, S. Newman, R. Flower
- Chemistry, Medicine
- Biochemical pharmacology
- 26 July 1996
Epidermal growth factor (EGF) rapidly stimulates the release of arachidonic acid in A549 cells by a mechanism that is sensitive to pertussis toxin [1]. We show that EGF treatment of A549 cells… Expand
Lipocortin 1 mediates the inhibition by dexamethasone of the induction by endotoxin of nitric oxide synthase in the rat.
