PGE2 Blood test – RED Labs

Blood test for Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) (Marker of inflammation)

• PGE2 is a compound derived from membrane phospholipids.
• PGE2 is also a key mediator of immunopathology in chronic infections and cancer.
• PGE2 enhances its own production but suppresses acute inflammatory mediators, resulting in its predominance at late/chronic stages of immunity.
• PGE2 selectively suppresses effector functions of macrophages and neutrophils and the Th1-, CTL-, and NK cell-mediated type 1 immunity, but it promotes Th2, Th17, and regulatory T cell responses.
• PGE2 modulates chemokine production, inhibiting the attraction of proinflammatory cells while enhancing local accumulation of regulatory T cells and myeloid-derived suppressor cells.
