Do leukotrienes increase cell viability in human intestinal epithelial cells?
In this preliminary report we present data showing that leukotrienes increase the baseline cell viability in human intestinal epithelial cells and that LTB4 partially reverses the morphological hallmarks of non-necrotic cell death induced by the COX-2 specific inhibitor NS-398. The proposed signaling mechanisms regulating these events are summarized in fig. 3. Please view the work on LT signal tra
