Prostaglandins (PG) are cytoprotective for gastrointestinal epithelium, possibly because they enhance mucosal repair
In contrast to inhibition of crypt regeneration, PGE2 accelerates re-establishment of epithelial barrier
Prostacyclin and PGE2 synergistically restore barrier function in the ileum by the intracellular Ca 2+ and cAMP signaling-dependent mechanisms
