In a recent study, we found an association of the minor PTGES2Arg298His allele and lower risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus in the European Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) and Cooperative Health Research in the Augsburg Region (KORA) cohorts.
Overall, our study shows that mPGES-2 can protect renal tubular epithelial cells by regulating autophagy levels and aggravation of acute kidney injury by mPGES-2 down regulation is associated with autophagy inhibition and enhanced apoptosis.
Stable PTGES2-shRNA transfectants were generated in Ishikawa and Hec-1B endometrial cancer cell lines, and transfection efficiencies were confirmed by RT-PCR and Western blot analyses.

The most predictive signature was achieved with interleukin 1β, MUC4, and prostaglandin E synthase 2 to accurately discriminate high-risk cysts from low-risk cysts with an area under the curve of up to 0.86 (p = 0.002).
The expression levels of eight enzymes (ALOX5, ALOX5AP, CYP2C8, CYP4F11, LTA4H, PLA2G4A, CYP2D6, PTGES2) correlated with the survival time of ESCC patients.

We found elevated expression of PTGES2 and PTGER4 and suppression of PTGER1 and PTGER3 in endometrial adenocarcinomas compared with normal endometrium.
The inflammatory mediator prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) is implicated in the pathogenesis of chronic inflammatory diseases including periodontitis; it is synthesized by cyclooxygenases (COX) and the prostaglandin E synthases mPGES-1, mPGES-2, and cPGES.
Among non-obese individuals, the GG genotype of PTGES2rs10987883 was associated with an increased risk for prostate cancer (unadjusted, recessive model OR = 3.23, 95% CI: 1.27-8.23).
Here we investigated (a) the expression profile of the PGE synthase enzymes (PTGES, PTGES-2, PTGES-3) and PGE receptors (PTGER1-4) in endometrial adenocarcinomas compared with normal endometrium and (b) the role of PTGER4 in endometrial tumorigenesis in vivo.

Our study investigated the cellular localization and distribution of COX-1, COX-2, mPGES-1, and mPGES-2 in organ tissues from a mouse model of human hypertension.
