4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE) activates a variety of signaling pathways. We have recently evaluated the effect of oxidized fatty acid metabolites on cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) induction in rat liver epithelial RL34 cells and found that, among the compounds tested, HNE most dramatically induced COX-2. A p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK) pathway has been shown to play a key role in the mechanism of the HNE-induced COX-2 expression. It appears that the HNE-induced activation of p38 MAPK leads to the stabilization of COX-2 mRNA.
4-羟基-2-壬烯醛(HNE)可激活多种信号通路。我们最近评估了氧化脂肪酸代谢产物对大鼠肝上皮RL34细胞中环氧化酶-2(COX-2)诱导的影响,发现在所测试的化合物中,HNE最显著地诱导了COX-2。p38丝裂原活化蛋白激酶(p38 MAPK)通路已被证明在HNE诱导COX-2表达的机制中起关键作用。似乎HNE诱导的p38 MAPK激活导致了COX-2 mRNA的稳定。
