Does intracellular histamine mediate mast cell histamine release?

abstract：:Cox-2 plays an important role in colon carcinogenesis and inflammation. Studying the HT-29 colon cancer cell line as a model, we found that Cox-2 expression and activity is increased approximately 25-fold by TNF-alpha. As previously reported for other Cox-2 inducers, this activation appears to result from a p38-mediat...
