Abstract

We characterized the regulation of cyclooxygenase‐2 (COX‐2) at the mRNA, protein and mediator level in two rat models of acute inflammation, carrageenan‐induced paw ædema and mechanical hyperalgesia. Carrageenan was injected in the hind paw of rat at low (paw ædema) and high doses (hyperalgesia). COX‐2 and prostaglandin E 2 (PGE 2) levels were measured by RT–PCR and immunological assays. We also determined the distribution of COX‐2 by immunohistochemistry. The injection of carrageenan produced a significant and parallel induction of both COX‐2 and PGE 2. This induction was significantly higher in hyperalgesia than in paw ædema. This was probably due to the 9 fold higher concentration of carrageenan used to provoke hyperalgesia. Immunohistochemical examination showed COX‐2 immunoreactivity in the epidermis, skeletal muscle and inflammatory cells of rats experiencing hyperalgesia. In paw ædema however, only the epidermis showed positive COX‐2 immunoreactivity. Pretreatment with indomethacin completely abolished the induction of COX‐2 in paw ædema but not in hyperalgesia. These results suggest that multiple mechanisms regulate COX‐2 induction especially in the more severe model. In carrageenan‐induced paw ædema, prostanoid production have been linked through the expression of the COX‐2 gene which suggest the presence of a positive feedback loop mechanism.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
