Snap-frozen rat liver and intestine tissues were sectioned to 8 μm thickness using a cryotome (Bright), air-dried for 30 min and keep at -80°C until used.
Specifically, we used cortex, cerebellum, eye, cochlea, pituitary gland, salivary gland, small intestine, colon, lung, thymus, liver, kidney, heart, urinary bladder, testis, prostate, and ovary.
Using a more sensitive RT-PCR analyses of RNA obtained from different tissues confirmed that rat Abcg5 and Abcg8 genes were expressed in both in the liver and small intestine, with a low level of expression in the colon (Fig.
Prostaglandin E 2 is a major cyclooxygenase metabolite of arachidonic acid which exerts diverse effects on vascular smooth muscle tone and epithelial solute transport via G-protein coupled receptors [ 1 2 ] . At least four distinct G-protein coupled PGE 2 receptors have been cloned: the EP 1 , EP 2 , EP 3 , and EP 4 [ 1 ] . Pharmacological studies suggest PGE 2 relaxes vascular smooth muscle through two of these receptors, the EP 2 and EP 4 receptors, which couple to cyclic-AMP generation [ 3 ] . In contrast, PGE 2 constricts other vascular smooth muscle through EP 3 receptors which inhibit cAMP generation via G i or EP 1 receptors which increase Ca 2+mobilization [ 3 ] . Although both EP 2 and EP 4 receptors relax smooth muscle, EP 2 receptors are uniquely sensitive to the agonists butaprost and AH13205 [ 3 4 ] . Previous studies have shown that PGE 2 increases the cAMP concentration in many tissues including kidney, intestine and uterus, but the relative contribution of EP 2 versus EP 4 receptors to these effects is incompletely defined [ 5 6 ] . Recent studies in mice with targeted disruption of these receptors have suggested an important role for EP2 receptor in regulating systemic hemodynamics.
These bile acids are conjugated to either taurine or glycine before secretion into bile [ 4 ] , which is subsequently released into the small intestine.
