Excerpt

Microsomal prostaglandin E2 Synthase (mPGES)-1 catalyzes the terminal step in the biosynthesis of PGE2. Early growth response factor-1 (Egr-1) is a key transcription factor in the regulation of mPGES-1. In the present study we examined the effects of valproic acid (VA), a histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor, on interleukin (IL)-1β-induced mPGES-1-expression in human chondrocytes. …
