Figure 1

Effect of Akt inhibitor X on COX-2 and mPGES-1 immunoreactivity and PGE 2 and PGD 2 release in primary LPS-stimulated rat microglia. A: Immunoblot analysis of protein levels of COX-2, mPGES-1 and β-actin in LPS-activated microglia treated with Akt inhibitor X (0.1-5 μM). B: Quantitative densitometric analysis of COX-2 and mPGES-1 protein expression normalized to β-actin loading control. C: Effect of Akt inhibitor X (0.1-5 μM) on PGE2 and PGD2 production after 48 h of LPS stimulation in rat primary microglia. D: Effect of Akt inhibitor X on mPGES-2 and cPGES expression in primary LPS-stimulated rat microglia. *P < 0.05 with respect to LPS control.
