Prostaglandin E2 is a major soluble factor produced by stromal cells for preventing inflammatory cytokine production from dendritic cells.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The pathogenesis of inflammatory skin disease involves the release of cytokines from keratinocytes, and one of these, IL-1β, has been previously implicated in inflammatory skin disease. T(h)17 cells, a subset of T(h) cells involved in autoimmunity and inflammation, possess IL-1β receptors and secrete cytokin...
