Purinergic Signaling Induces Cyclooxygenase-1-Dependent Prostanoid Synthesis in Microglia: Roles in the Outcome of Excitotoxic Brain Injury

Cyclooxygenases (COX) are prostanoid synthesizing enzymes constitutively expressed in the brain that contribute to excitotoxic neuronal cell death. While the neurotoxic role of COX-2 is well established and has been linked to prostaglandin E(2) synthesis, the role of COX-1 is not clearly understood....
