c-Jun N-terminal Kinase-mediated Stabilization of Microsomal Prostaglandin E2 Synthase-1 mRNA Regulates Delayed Microsomal Prostaglandin E2 Synthase-1 Expression and Prostaglandin E2 Biosynthesis by Cardiomyocytes
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Microsomal prostaglandin (PG) E(2) synthase-1 (mPGES-1) catalyzes the terminal step in the biosynthesis of PGE(2), a key proinflammatory mediator. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the regulation of mPGES-1 mRNA expression in cardiomyocytes, define the role of JNK enzymes in this process, and characterize the role of mPGES-1 in cardiomyocyte PGE(2) biosynthesis. In neonatal cardiomyocytes, interleukin-1beta and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) both stimulated mPGES-1 mRNA expression and increased mPGES-1 mRNA stability and protein synthesis but failed to increase mPGES-1 mRNA transcription. Treatment with the JNK1/2 inhibitor, SP600125, abrogated the increases in mPGES-1 mRNA stability, mPGES-1 protein synthesis, and PGE(2) release induced by interleukin-1beta or LPS. mPGES-1 protein synthesis was observed in LPS-stimulated neonatal cardiomyocytes from jnk1(-/-) or jnk2(-/-) mice. In contrast, infection of jnk1(-/-) cardiomyocytes with an adenovirus encoding phosphorylation-resistant JNK2 (ad-JNK2-DN), or of jnk2(-/-) cardiomyocytes with ad-JNK1-DN, significantly decreased LPS-stimulated mPGES-1 protein synthesis. Similarly, co-infection with ad-JNK1-DN and ad-JNK2-DN attenuated LPS-stimulated mPGES-1 protein synthesis in cardiomyocytes from wild type mice. Targeted deletion of the gene encoding mPGES-1 led to a 3.2-fold decrease in LPS-stimulated PGE(2) release by cardiomyocytes in comparison with wild type cells but had no effect on COX-1, COX-2, mPGES-2, or cytosolic PGES mRNA levels. These studies provide direct evidence that mPGES-1 mRNA levels in cardiomyocytes are augmented by stabilization of mPGES-1 mRNA, that JNK1 or JNK2 can participate in the regulation of mPGES-1 protein synthesis in these cells, and that mPGES-1 catalyzes the majority of LPS-induced PGE(2) biosynthesis by cardiomyocytes.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
