ATP Mediates NADPH Oxidase/ROS Generation and COX-2/PGE(2) Expression in A549 Cells: Role of P2 Receptor-Dependent STAT3 Activation

BACKGROUND: Up-regulation of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 and its metabolite prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) are frequently implicated in lung inflammation. Extracellular nucleotides, such as ATP have been shown to act via activation of P2 purinoceptors, leading to COX-2 expression in various inflammatory dis...
