Abstract excerpt
Prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) has been shown to negatively affect pancreatic beta-cell function, and its inducible synthesis is mediated in part by cycloxygenase-2 (COX-2). Regulation of basal and inducible COX-2 gene expression in pancreatic beta-cells is not fully understood. In this report, we used pancreatic beta-cells (RINm5F) to explore the molecular mechanisms regulating COX-2 promoter activity. Through...
