Abstract
Background: Celecoxib, a COX-2 specific inhibitor, has recently been used for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. However, the molecular and cellular mechanisms of celecoxib against RA inflammation remain to be defined. To elucidate the action mechanism of celecoxib on inflammatory cells, we investigated the effect of celecoxib on the production of two important mediators of inflammation, nitric oxide and PGE2 Methods: RAW 264.7 cells stimulated with LPS were preincubated with various concentrations of celecoxib (from
