Immunological activation of mast cells is an important trigger in the cascade of inflammatory events leading to the manifestation of allergic diseases. Pharmacological studies using the recently discovered DP(1) and CRTH2 antagonists combined with genetic analysis support the view that

Prostaglandin (PG)D2 is a major product of arachidonic acid metabolism in pulmonary mast cells. We therefore attempted to determine whether measurement of the stable urinary metabolite of PGD2, 9 alpha, 11 beta-PGF2, could serve as a marker of mast cell

We investigated the role of prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) signaling in acute lung injury (ALI), focusing on its producer-effector interaction in vivo. Administration of endotoxin increased edema and neutrophil infiltration in the WT mouse lung. Gene disruption of hematopoietic PGD synthase

Prostaglandin D2 was found to be a potent inhibitor of platelet aggregation. Aggregation of human platelets by ADP, collagen and prostaglandin G2 was inhibited more strongly by PGD2 than by PGE1. Although ADP-induced aggregation of rabbit platelets was inhibited more
Hana Sarashina et al.
Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950), 192(1), 459-465 (2013-12-04)
The effects of PGD2 are extremely context dependent. It can have pro- or anti-inflammatory effects in clinically important pathological conditions. A greater mechanistic insight into the determinants of PGD2 activity during inflammation is thus required. In this study, we investigated
