Affinity purification

Cyclooxygenase1 (Cox1) and cyclooxygenase2 (Cox2), family members with 60% homology in humans, catalyze prostaglandin production from arachidonic acid (1, 2). While Cox1 expression is constitutive in most tissues, Cox2 expression is induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and peptidoglycan (PGN) (3). PGN activates Ras, leading to phosphorylation of Raf at Ser338 and Erk1/2 at Tyr204. The activation of MAP kinase signaling results in subsequent activation of IKKalpha/beta, phosphorylation of IkappaBalpha at Ser32/36, and NF-kappaB activation. Finally, activation of the transcription factor NF-kappaB is responsible for the induction of Cox2 expression (4). LPS and PGN induce the clinical manifestations of arthritis and bacterial infections, such as inflammation, fever, and septic shock (5), making Cox2 a useful target for therapeutic anti-inflammatory drugs (3). Cox1 and Cox2 also play a role in the neuropathology of Alzheimer's disease by potentiating gamma-secretase activity and beta-amyloid generation (6).
