a(MESH:"Anti-Inflammatory Agents, Non-Steroidal") decreases act(p(HGNC:PTGS2)) View Subject | View Object

NSAIDs [e.g., drugs such as ibuprofen and NS398 (celecoxib or Celebrex)] antagonize to varying degrees two related cyclooxygenase (Cox) enzymes, Cox1 and Cox2 (also termed, prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2), that are rate-limiting in converting arachidonic acid to prostaglandin H2, a precursor to many additional prostaglandins (for review, see Ref. 436).

p(HGNC:CHRNA4) association p(HGNC:PTGS2) View Subject | View Object

A link between alpha4 nAChRs and Cox2 was suggested by the observation that interneurons in the hippocampus coexpress both proteins (165). A mechanistic connection was inferred when long-term treatment of aged animals with NS398 promoted retention of alpha4 nAChR expression in the brain, an effect that was antagonized by the coadministration of nicotine.

a(CHEBI:Anatabine) decreases p(HGNC:PTGS2) View Subject | View Object

Anatabine suppressed in a dose- dependent manner the increase of iNOS and COX2 in- duced by interferon-g (Fig.4),confirming in vitro its antiinflammatory properties. The effect seen with inter- feron-g was also seen when macrophages were stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (Supplemental Fig. 1). PubMed:22807490

For example, 19 genes products have been associated with atherosclerosis and are up or down-regulated by Protandim. Of these 19 genes, the first 16 listed (84%) were regulated by Protandim in the opposing direction to that taken by the atherosclerosis disease process. The probable benefit of this effect of Protandim is further supported by the fact that of the 11 gene products currently being targeted by drug interventions (Table 1, in bold type), nine of them (Table 1, marked by asterisks) are modulated by Protandim in the same direction that is proposed to be beneficial and caused by the therapeutic intervention.

a(PUBCHEM:135316034) increases p(HGNC:PTGS2) View Subject | View Object

In Alzheimer disease, 66 genes were identified that are also modulated by Protandim at the gene expression level. Of these 66 genes, the first 43 of them (65%) were regulated by Protandim in the opposing direction to that taken by the Alzheimer disease process. The beneficial effect of Protandim is further supported by the fact that of the 10 gene products currently targeted by drug therapies, eight of them are modulated by Protandim in the same direction that is proposed to be beneficial and caused by the drug.

a(CHEBI:"1,8-cineole") decreases p(HGNC:PTGS2) View Subject | View Object

Further-more, the expression of NOS-2, COX2 and NF-B was reduced by1,8-cineole [250]. PubMed:29179999

a(CHEBI:curcumin) decreases p(HGNC:PTGS2) View Subject | View Object

Curcumin showed several anti-inflammatory characteristics. It deploys various cytokine-inhibitory, anti-inflammatory activities and decreases the expression levels of COX-2, LOX, and iNOS. Moreover, the expression of the pro-inflammatory cytokines, for instance, TNF-, IL-1, -2,-6, -8, and -12 and the neurotoxic factors were suppressed by curcumin in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated monocytes and alveolar macrophages [103]. PubMed:29179999

a(CHEBI:resveratrol) decreases p(HGNC:PTGS2) View Subject | View Object

Resveratrol crossed the blood-brain barrier (BBB) [111,112] and down-regulated several inflammatory biomarkers such as TNF-, COX2 and interleukins [113,114]. PubMed:29179999

It also lowered the expression of NO and iNOS, and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and COX2 in A-activated glial cells. All these effects were attributableto their suppression of nuclear NF-B translocation [116]. PubMed:29179999

a(PUBCHEM:14193399) decreases p(HGNC:PTGS2) View Subject | View Object

Glaucocalyxin B, found in Rabdosia japonica, considerably atten-uated the expression of NO, TNF-, IL-1, COX-2 and iNOS in LPS-induced microglia cells [169–172]. Moreover, the activation of NF-B, p38 MAPK and ROS generation was interrupted by glauco- calyxin B in LPS-induced microglia cells [172]. PubMed:29179999

act(p(FPLX:NFkappaB)) regulates p(HGNC:PTGS2) View Subject | View Object

NF-B activation mediates the expression of the pro-oxidant NAPDH oxidase, cyclooxygenase 2 (COX2), interleukins and the antioxidant enzyme, superoxide dismutase (SOD) [78]. Additionally, NF-B activity is associated with the expression of BACE1 [79] and the activation of nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor (NALP) 3 inflammosome [80]. PubMed:29179999
