COX

Cyclooxygenase

Cyclooxygenase (COX), officially known as prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase (PTGS), is an enzyme that is responsible for formation of important biological mediators called prostanoids, including prostaglandins, prostacyclin and thromboxane. Pharmacological inhibition of COX can provide relief from the symptoms of inflammation and pain. Drugs, like Aspirin, that inhibit cyclooxygenase activity have been available to the public for about 100 years. Two cyclooxygenase isoforms have been identified and are referred to as COX-1 and COX-2. Under many circumstances the COX-1 enzyme is produced constitutively (i.e., gastric mucosa) whereas COX-2 is inducible (i.e., sites of inflammation). Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID), such as aspirin and ibuprofen, exert their effects through inhibition of COX. The main COX inhibitors are the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

    Vasoactive intestinal peptide
    Activator
    Vasoactive intestinal peptide is an agonist of VPAC1/VPAC2 receptor (G-protein-coupled receptors). Vasoactive intestinal peptide reduces corneal perforation rate, bacterial load, and excessive neutrophil infiltration in Pseudomonas aeruginosa-induced keratitis models. Vasoactive intestinal peptide enhances anti-inflammatory mediators like IL-10 and TGF-β, inhibites pro-inflammatory factors such as IL-1β and TNF-α, and upregulates lipid mediator-related enzymes (SOCS3, COX-2, ALOX12) to promote inflammation resolution. Vasoactive intestinal peptide is promising for research of ocular infectious diseases.
