An increasing level of prostaglandin (PG) E2is involved in the progression of neuroinflammation induced by ischemia and bacterial infection. Although an imbalance in the rates of production and clearance of PGE2under these pathological conditions appears to affect the concentration of PGE2in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), the regulatory system remains incompletely understood. The purpose of this study was to investigate the cellular system of PGE2production via microsomal PGE synthetase‐1 (mPGES‐1), the inducible PGE2‐generating enzyme, and PGE2elimination from the CSF via the blood–CSF barrier (BCSFB). Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that mPGES‐1 was expressed in the soma and perivascular sheets of astrocytes, pia mater, and brain blood vessel endothelial cells, suggesting that these cells are local production sites of PGE2in the CSF. Thein vivoPGE2elimination clearance from the CSF was eightfold greater than that ofd‐mannitol, which is considered to reflect CSF bulk flow. This process was inhibited by the simultaneous injection of unlabeled PGE2and β‐lactam antibiotics, such as benzylpenicillin, cefazolin, and ceftriaxone, which are substrates and/or inhibitors of organic anion transporter 3 (OAT3). The characteristics of PGE2uptake by the isolated choroid plexus were at least partially consistent with those of OAT3. OAT3 was able to mediate PGE2transport with a Michaelis–Menten constant of 4.24 μM. These findings indicate that a system regulating the PGE2level in the CSF involves OAT3‐mediated PGE2uptake by choroid plexus epithelial cells, acting as a cerebral clearance pathway via the BCSFB of locally produced PGE2.
