The Signaling Pathway of PGE2 and Its Regulatory Role in T Cell Differentiation

Figure 1

The process of PGE2 synthesis. Arachidonic acid is released from the membrane by phospholipase A2. Cyclooxygenases (COX-1 and COX-2) produce prostaglandin H2 (PGH2) from arachidonic acid. PGH2 is produced by prostaglandin synthase to produce PGI2, PGD2, PGE2, and PGF2α.
