Both PGE2 and lack or excess of EP3 receptor expression have been reported to play crucial, yet incompletely understood, roles in insulin resistance or (T2D) and leptin resistance or obesity <sup>2-7<\/sup>. We propose that the initial upregulation of PGE2 induced by SARS-CoV-2 infection may, in some individuals, persist beyond the acute phase, associated with altered EP3 receptor function. This imbalance may pre-exist and\/or be further amplified by sustained PGE2 elevation during infection. Such alterations in EP3 signaling could contribute to homeostatic dysregulation and presumed resistance phenomena, as discussed in the following sections.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How could PGE2 antagonize other mediators, promoting resistance?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We previously noted that several PGE2 stimulating agents and are also antagonized by PGE2, including acetylcholine (ACh) <sup>8<\/sup>, angiotensin II (Ang II) <sup>9<\/sup>, AVP <sup>10<\/sup>, serotonin (5-HT) <sup>11<\/sup>, dopamine (DA) <sup>12<\/sup>, fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) <sup>13<\/sup>, and interferon-gamma (IFN-\u03b3) <sup>14<\/sup>. We identified several pathways by which PGE2 could antagonize the activity of other agents:<\/p>\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"1\">\n<li>Stimulating functional autoantibodies (aabs) to the receptors of other agents and their class switching (through EP2\/EP4)<\/li>\n\n<li>Stimulating phosphorylation of their receptors, possibly attracting autoantibodies (through EP1)<\/li>\n\n<li>Downregulation of their secretion (through EP3)<\/li>\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/pge2-hypothesis.com\/?page_id=3340\">Indirect functional antagonism of GPCRs through shared subcellular pathways<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Stimulating autoantibodies and their class switching<br \/><\/strong><br \/>Upregulation of autoantibodies (aabs) of the immunoglobulin G (IgG) class to GPCRs has been observed in both COVID-19 <sup>15,16<\/sup>and LC patients <sup>17,18<\/sup>. Animals experimentally infected with SARS-CoV-2 also generate functional aabs against GPCRs <sup>19<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PGE2 has been shown to stimulate the production and class switching of autoantibodies from the immunoglobulin M (IgM) to IgG <sup>20<\/sup> or IgE types <sup>21<\/sup> <sup>22,23<\/sup>, through the cAMP pathway (EP2\/EP4) <sup>24<\/sup>. Aabs can modulate the binding of true ligands. We suggest that PGE2 may hinder ligand binding in COVID-19 and LC through aab production <sup>25,26<\/sup>.\u00a0<br \/><br \/><strong>Stimulating phosphorylation processes<br \/><\/strong><br \/>Another pathway involves stimulation of phosphorylation processes by PGE2 <sup>27-29<\/sup>. We suggest that PGE2 could interfere with receptor binding of specific compounds by promoting receptor or ligand phosphorylation, including via the EP1 PKC pathway <sup>30<\/sup>. Phosphorylation has been reported to increase the binding of aabs by up to 2- or 7-fold <sup>31,32<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Downregulation of the secretion of other agents<br \/><br \/><\/strong>PGE2 reportedly inhibits the secretion of other hormones through receptor EP3, such as: ACh <sup>33<\/sup>, insulin <sup>34<\/sup>and dopamine <sup>35<\/sup>, noradrenaline <sup>36<\/sup> and serotonin <sup>36<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Indirect functional antagonism of GPCR-ligands through shared subcellular pathways<\/strong><br \/><br \/>EP receptors belong to the class of the G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). Reportedly, PGE2 dominance could interfere with the signaling of other GPCR-binding hormones that use the same downstream signaling pathways <sup>37<\/sup>. GPCR signaling depends on a finite pool of Gi or Gs proteins and other downstream second messengers. The EP3 receptor is Gi-coupled, and EP2 and EP4 are Gscoupled <sup>38<\/sup>. Many other monoamine receptors are Gi-, Gs-, or Gq-coupled as well.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Harding, J.
