Prostaglandin E2-Induced Cell Death is Mediated by Activation of EP2 Receptors in Motor Neuron-like NSC-34 Cells

Abstract.: Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) was shown to induce neuronal death in the CNS. To characterize the neurotoxicity of PGE2 and E-prostanoid receptors (EP) in motor neurons, we investigated PGE2-induced cell death and the type(s) of EP responsible for mediating it in NSC-34, a motor neuron-like cell...
