- |||||||||| Journal: Tobacco heating product aerosol triggers PKC-dependent eryptosis: biochemical insights. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 9, 2026
These findings demonstrate that HTPE, but not e-CigE, triggers eryptosis through a calcium- and PKC-dependent mechanism involving PGE2-mediated calcium entry, cytoskeletal destabilisation and calpain activity, independently of oxidative stress or caspase activation. Overall, our results provide mechanistic evidence that HTPE exposure compromises erythrocyte integrity and caution against considering tobacco heating products as inherently safe alternatives to conventional cigarettes.

Journal: Iguratimod suppresses volume-sensitive outwardly rectifying anion channels via arachidonic acid accumulation. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 26, 2026 Notably, celecoxib, a selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor, also significantly suppressed these currents...These findings suggest that iguratimod increases free arachidonic acid levels by inhibiting COX-2 during osmotic cell swelling, thereby suppressing VSOR Cl- channel activity. This suppression of VSOR Cl- channel activity may present one of the mechanisms through which iguratimod exerts its anti-inflammatory effects in rheumatic diseases.

Journal: Circulating S100A8/A9 drives faster platelet COX-1 recovery via MRP4, impairing the duration of aspirin response. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 24, 2026 During immune inflammation, reflected by high circulating S100A8/A9, once-daily aspirin may incompletely inhibit COX-1 due to miR-21-5p downregulation, higher megakaryocyte/platelet MRP4 expression, COX-1 upregulation driving platelet activation, and c-miR-21-5p release. Circulating S100A8/A9 and miR-21-5p can serve as biomarkers for patients with shorter duration of aspirin effect over 24 hours and potential targets to optimize antiplatelet therapy for high-risk patients.

After gestational week 20, NSAIDs could be ingested with caution and withdrawn at gestational week 32, since they may induce constriction of the ductus arteriosus and affect renal function. The only exception is low-dose of aspirin, ingestion of which should be stopped one week before delivery with epidural anesthesia or could be prolonged until the end of pregnancy in patients with antiphospholipid syndrome.

Journal: Concomitant COX-1 and COX-2 suppression is not sufficient to induce enteropathy associated with chronic NSAID use. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 27, 2026 Yet surprisingly, we found that concomitant postnatal deletion of Cox-1 and -2 over 10 months failed to cause intestinal injury in mice unless they were treated with naproxen or its structural analog, phenylpropionic acid, which is not a COX inhibitor...These results show that prostaglandin suppression plays a trivial role in NSAID-induced enteropathy. However, Cox deletion causes dysbiosis of the gut microbiome that amplifies the enteropathic response to NSAIDs.

Review, Journal: The dual role of the COX-2/PGE2 Axis in multiple sclerosis: From pathogenesis to pharmacological inhibition. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 24, 2026 This review discusses the potential of selectively targeting the detrimental effects of the COX-2/PGE2 axis (such as EP1/EP3 signaling) while preserving protective pathways as a sophisticated therapeutic strategy for MS. However, cardiovascular risks limit the clinical translation of COX-2 inhibitors, necessitating the development of safer, more precise modulation of this pathway.
