Generation of Cellular Reactive Oxygen Species by Activation of the EP2 Receptor Contributes to Prostaglandin E2-Induced Cytotoxicity in Motor Neuron-Like NSC-34 Cells

Figure 9

Proposed mechanism underlying PGE2-induced neurotoxicity in motor neuron-like NSC-34 cells. PGE2: prostaglandin E2; EP2: E-prostanoid receptor-2; EP3: E-prostanoid receptor-3; Gs: Gs protein; Gi: Gi protein; cAMP: cyclic adenosine monophosphate; ROS: reactive oxygen species.
