Epinephrine promotes COX-2-dependent immune suppression in myeloid cells and cancer tissues

Highlights • Inflammation promotes catecholamine-driven immune suppression. • COX-2 blockade prevents the induction of suppressive factors by epinephrine. • COX-2 blockade counteracts suppressive activity of epinephrine-treated macrophages. • Our data suggest that COX-2 blockade may reduce the immun...

Description
Summary:Highlights • Inflammation promotes catecholamine-driven immune suppression. • COX-2 blockade prevents the induction of suppressive factors by epinephrine. • COX-2 blockade counteracts suppressive activity of epinephrine-treated macrophages. • Our data suggest that COX-2 blockade may reduce the immunosuppressive effects of psychologic stress.
