Differential compensation of two cyclooxygenases in renal homeostasis is independent of prostaglandin‐synthetic capacity under basal conditions
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The distinct functions of each cyclooxygenase (COX) isoform in renal homeostasis have been the subject of intense investigation for many years. We took the novel approach of using 3 characterized mouse lines, where the prostaglandin (PG)-endoperoxide synthase genes 1 and 2 ( Ptgs1 and Ptgs2) substitute for one another to delineate distinct roles and the potential for COX isoform substitution. Flipped Ptgs genes generate a reversed COX-expression pattern in the kidney, where the knockin COX-2 is highly expressed. Normal nephrogenesis was sustained in all 3 strains at the postnatal stage d 8 (P8). Knockin COX-1 can temporally restore renal function and delay but not prevent renal pathology consequent to COX-2 deletion. Loss of COX-2 in adult COX-1 > COX-2 mice results in severe nephropathy, which leads to impaired renal function. These defects are partially rescued by the knockin COX-2 in Reversa mice, whereas COX-2 can compensate for the loss of COX-1 in COX-2 > COX-1 mice. Intriguingly, the highly expressed knockin COX-2 enzyme barely makes any PGs or thromboxane in neonatal P8 or adult mice, demonstrating that prostanoid biosynthesis requires native COX-1 and cannot be rescued by the knockin COX-2. In summary, the 2 COX isoforms can preferentially compensate for some renal functions, which appears to be independent of the PG-synthetic capacity.-Li, X., Mazaleuskaya, L. L., Ballantyne, L. L., Meng, H., FitzGerald, G. A., Funk, C. D. Differential compensation of two cyclooxygenases in renal homeostasis is independent of prostaglandin-synthetic capacity under basal conditions.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
