Involvement of PGE2 and PGDH but not COX-2 in thrombin-induced cortical neuron apoptosis

The pathways that contribute to thrombin-induced neuron death have been incompletely defined. Induction of cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2), the enzyme that catalyzes the first step in prostaglandin synthesis, promotes neuronal injury. PGE2, a downstream product of COX-2 metabolism, is neurotoxic in vitro a...
