title: The lipid peroxidation end-product 4-HNE induces COX-2 expression through p38MAPK activation in 3T3-L1 adipose cell.
abstract: Oxidative stress and low grade chronic inflammation are increased in accumulating fat. Our objective was to test whether 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE), an end-product of lipid peroxidation, affects cyclooxygenases in 3T3-L1 adipose cells. 4-HNE increased COX-2 mRNA and protein expression and p38MAP-kinase phosphorylation in a dose-dependent manner. Pretreatment of 3T3-L1 cells by a selective inhibitor of p38MAPK (PD 169316) abolished 4-HNE and glucose oxidase induced COX-2 expression. Our results show that oxidative stress induces COX-2 expression through the production of 4-HNE which activates p38MAPKinase, suggesting that 4-HNE links oxidative stress and chronic inflammation through the activation of cyclooxygenase.
