both hematopoietic- and lipocalin-type prostaglandin-D synthase are present in cartilage from healthy donors as well as from patients with osteoarthritits. Level of lipocalin-type prostaglandin-D synthase is more than 20fold higher than hematopoietic-type enzyme. Levels of lipocalin-type prostaglandin-D synthase mRNA and protein are increased in cartilage from aptients with osteoarthritis. Treatment of chondrocytes with IL-1beta upregulates lipocalin-type prostaglandin-D synthase mRNA and protein expressions as well as prostaglandin D2 production in a dose- and time-dependent manner. The upregulation of lipocalin-type prostaglandin-D synthase by IL-1beta is blocked by the translational inhibitor cycloheximide. Specific inhibitors of the MAPK p38 and c-jun N-terminal kinase and of the NF-kappaB and Notch signalling pathways suppress IL-1beta-induced upregulation of lipocalin-type prostaglandin-D synthase expression. An inhibitor of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase ERK/MAPK demonstrates no significant influence. Prostaglandin D2 prevents IL-1beta-induced upregulation of lipocalin-type prostaglandin-D synthase expression

in patients receiving long-term intravenous administration of gentamicin for the treatment of infective endocarditis, systemic clearance of gentamicin is reduced by 10% from the early to late treatment phase, wherease urinary lipocalin-type prostaglandin synthase excretion shows a significant increase. No significant changes are observed for urinary beta2-microglobulin and N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase concentrations

in patients with acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, concentration of prostaglandin-D synthase is significantly increased in cerebrospinal fluid, due to a blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier dysfunction. The intrathecal synthesis of prostaglandin-D synthase is significantly decreased in these patients. Changes of the ratio of cerebrospinal fluid prostaglandin-D synthase to albumin are only observed in patients with acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, but not in Miller Fisher Syndrome, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy, or multiple sclerosis patients

in patients with HIV infection who have progressive neurocognitive decline over the next 6 months and in patients with a history of intravenal drug use, 3-nitrotyrosine modified proteins are significantly elevated. Among the 13 different proteins with 3-nitrotyrosine modification identified, lipocalin-type prostaglandin-D synthase is the most abundant, and the modification results in loss of enzymatic activity

level of seminal plasma lipocalin-type prostaglandin-D synthase is significantly lower in groups with obstruction of the male seminal tract. Men with nonobstructive azoospermia have less homogenity of lipocalin-type prostaglandin-D synthase levels. Lipocalin-type prostaglandin-D synthase can be a potential biomarker for assessing patency in the seminal tract in men with azoospermia. In men with azoospermia and high seminal lipocalin-type prostaglandin-D synthase levels, the diagnosis of nonobstructive azoospermia can be potentially made without biopsy

orally administered AT-56, i.e. 4-dibenzo [a,d]cyclohepten-5-ylidene-1-[4-(2H-tetrazol-5-yl)-butyl]-piperidine, below 30 mg/kg body weight decreases the prostaglandin D2 production to 40% in the brain of H-PGDS-deficient mice after a stab-wound injury in a dose-dependent manner without affecting the production of prostaglandin E2 and prostaglandin F2alpha, and also suppresses the accumulation of eosinophils and monocytes in the bronco-alveolar lavage fluid from the antigen-induced lung inflammation model of human L-PGDS-transgenic mice
