Toll-like receptors (TLRs) direct a proinflammatory program in macrophages. One mediator
whose generation is induced by TLR ligation is prostaglandin E 2 (PGE 2), which is well
known to increase intracellular cAMP upon G protein-coupled receptor ligation. How PGE
2/cAMP shapes the nascent TLR response and the mechanisms by which it acts remain
poorly understood. Here we explored PGE 2/cAMP regulation of NO production in primary
rat alveolar macrophages stimulated with the TLR4 ligand LPS. Endogenous PGE 2 …
