Cyclooxygenase-2 Expression and Prostaglandin E2 Production in Response to Acidic pH Through OGR1 in a Human Osteoblastic Cell Line
26 Feb 2008
Abstract excerpt
Acidosis has been shown to induce depletion of bone calcium from the body. This calcium release process is thought to be partially cell mediated. In an organ culture of bone, acidic pH has been shown to induce cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) induction and prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) production, resulting in stimulation of bone calcium release. However, the molecular mechanisms whereby osteoblasts sense acidic...
