Knockout mice lacking cPGES/p23, a constitutively expressed PGE2 synthetic enzyme, are peri-natally lethal.

Abstract:

:Cytosolic prostaglandin (PG) E synthase (cPGES) is constitutively expressed in various cells and regulates cyclooxygenase (COX)-1-dependent immediate PGE(2) generation. Its primary structure is identical to co-chaperone p23, a heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90)-binding protein. We have revealed that Hsp90 regulated both cPGES/p23 and its client protein kinase CK2. In this study, in order to examine the role of cPGES/p23 in vivo, we generated mice deficient in cPGES/p23 by a targeted disruption of exons 2 and 3, containing Tyr9, which is essential for catalytic activity. Heterozygotes are viable, fertile, and appear normal, despite a decrease in cPGES/p23 protein level. A generation of offsprings derived from intercrosses of cPGES/p23 homozygous mice revealed that 109, 247, and 10 pups were wild type, heterozygous, and homozygous, respectively; however, all homozygotes died at birth. The absence of viable null mutants, with heterozygotes and wild-type offspring obtained at a ratio of approximately 2:1, indicated that homozygosity for the cPGES/p23 null mutant leads to peri-natal lethality. Embryos homozygous for cPGES/p23-null had lower body weights than wild-type embryos, and abnormal morphology of skin and lungs. Moreover, the PGE(2) content in the lungs of cPGES/p23-null embryos was lower than that of the wild type. These results indicate that cPGES-derived PGES is involved in the normal development of mouse embryonic lung.
