Popis: Non-allergic angioedema is a potentially life-threatening condition caused by accumulation of bradykinin and subsequent activation of bradykinin type 2 receptors (B2). Since COX activity plays a pivotal role in B2 signaling, the aim of this study was to determine which prostaglandins are the key mediators and which COX, COX-1 or COX-2, is predominantly involved.We used Miles assays to assess the effects of inhibitors of COX, 5-lipoxygenase, epoxyeicosatrienoic acid generation, cytosolic phospholipase AUnspecific COX inhibition by ibuprofen and diclofenac significantly reduced B2-mediated dermal extravasation in C57BL/6 but not COX-1Our findings suggest that COX-1-dependent prostacyclin production is critically involved in dermal extravasation after activation of B2 in small dermal blood vessels. Targeting prostacyclin production and/or signaling appears to be a suitable option for acute treatment of non-allergic angioedema.
