Abstract excerpt
We previously reported that proinflammatory mediator bradykinin (BK) induces cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 expression in human airway smooth muscle (HASM), but the mechanism is unknown in any biological system. Here, we studied the role of specific protein kinase C (PKC) isozyme(s) in COX-2 expression. Among the eight PKC isozymes present in HASM cells, the Ca2+-independent PKC-delta and -epsilon and the Ca2+-dependent...
