“Secretion of PGE2 induced by PDGF was augmented by pretreatment with DHEA.”
“These results suggest that DHEA inhibited MAPK activation induced by PDGF-BB via PGE2 overproduction and subsequent cAMP-dependent pathway in human male aortic SMCs.”
“ DHEA suppressed the expression of MMP-1, -3 and -13 genes and PGE2 protein synthesis enhanced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) while the COX-II and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) gene expressions were down-regulated by DHEA.”
