BCP crystals increase prostacyclin production and upregulate the prostacyclin receptor in OA synovial fibroblasts: potential effects on mPGES1 and MMP-131
Osteoarthritis and Cartilage , 03/23/07
E.S. Molloy M.D., et al. - Conclusions: These data showed for the first time that BCP crystals can increase prostacyclin production and upregulate expression of the IP receptor in OASF. The potential of prostacyclin to influence BCP crystal-stimulated responses was supported by the effects of iloprost on the expression of the IP receptor, mPGES1 and MMP-13. These data demonstrate the potential involvement of prostacyclin in BCP crystal-associated osteoarthritis (OA) and suggest that inhibition of PG synthesis with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may have both deleterious and beneficial effects in BCP crystal-associated OA
