The capacity of rat cerebral endothelial cells (RCEC) to form eicosanoids was determined after incubation with 14C-labelled arachidonic acid. Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) was the main metabolite formed by RCEC and was responsible for 54% of the total amount of eicosanoids produced. In contrast, in primary cultures of rat aorta endothelial cells, 32% of the amount of prostaglandins was 6-keto-PGF1 alpha). RCEC treated with 50 ng/ml LPS for 24 h responded with an augmented PGE2 synthesis and 6-keto-PGF1 alpha of 3.4-fold and 2.2-fold, respectively. Cultures treated with IL-1 beta (50 ng/ml) for 3 h showed a stimulation of the release of PGE2 and 6-keto-PGF1 alpha of 2.5- and 4.5-fold, respectively, and 2.0-fold and 2.3-fold, respectively, after IL-6 (50 ng/ml) incubation for 3 h. PGE2 is the main eicosanoid formed by RCEC in response to inflammatory agents, suggesting an important role of the cerebral endothelial cells in the transduction of an inflammatory response in the central nervous system.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007375 Interleukin-1 A soluble factor produced by MONOCYTES; MACROPHAGES, and other cells which activates T-lymphocytes and potentiates their response to mitogens or antigens. Interleukin-1 is a general term refers to either of the two distinct proteins, INTERLEUKIN-1ALPHA and INTERLEUKIN-1BETA. The biological effects of IL-1 include the ability to replace macrophage requirements for T-cell activation.

D008070 Lipopolysaccharides Lipid-containing polysaccharides which are endotoxins and important group-specific antigens. They are often derived from the cell wall of gram-negative bacteria and induce immunoglobulin secretion. The lipopolysaccharide molecule consists of three parts: LIPID A, core polysaccharide, and O-specific chains (O ANTIGENS). When derived from Escherichia coli, lipopolysaccharides serve as polyclonal B-cell mitogens commonly used in laboratory immunology. (From Dorland, 28th ed) Lipopolysaccharide,Lipoglycans

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D015777 Eicosanoids A class of compounds named after and generally derived from C20 fatty acids (EICOSANOIC ACIDS) that includes PROSTAGLANDINS; LEUKOTRIENES; THROMBOXANES, and HYDROXYEICOSATETRAENOIC ACIDS. They have hormone-like effects mediated by specialized receptors (RECEPTORS, EICOSANOID). Eicosanoid,Icosanoid,Icosanoids
D015850 Interleukin-6 A cytokine that stimulates the growth and differentiation of B-LYMPHOCYTES and is also a growth factor for HYBRIDOMAS and plasmacytomas.
