In this task, you are given a passage which has a question and the context. You have to generate an answer to the question based on the information present in the context.
question:
Context: Secretory phospholipases A2 (sPLA2) initiate the biosynthesis of eicosanoids, are increased in the airways of people with severe asthma, and induce mucin hypersecretion. We used IL-13-transformed, highly enriched goblet cells and differentiated (ciliary cell-enriched) human bronchial epithelial cell culture to evaluate the relative contribution of ciliated and goblet cells to airway sPLA2 generation and response. We wished to determine the primary source(s) of sPLA2 and leukotrienes in human airway epithelial cells.', 'Human bronchial epithelial cells from subjects without lung disease were differentiated to a ciliated-enriched or goblet-enriched cell phenotype. Synthesis of sPLA2, cysteinyl leukotrienes (cysLTs), and airway mucin messenger RNA and protein was measured by real-time-polymerase chain reaction and an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and the localization of mucin and sPLA2 to specific cells types was confirmed by confocal microscopy.', 'sPLA2 group IIa, V, and X messenger RNA expression was increased in ciliated-enriched cells (P < .001) but not in goblet-enriched cells. sPLA2 were secreted from the apical (air) side of ciliated-enriched cells but not goblet-enriched cells (P < .001). Immunostaining of sPLA2 V was strongly positive in ciliated-enriched cells but not in goblet-enriched cells. sPLA2 released cysLTs from goblet-enriched cells but not from ciliated-enriched cells, and this result was greatest with sPLA2 V (P < .05). sPLA2 V increased goblet-enriched cell mucin secretion, which was inhibited by inhibitors of lipoxygenase or cyclooxygenase (P < .02).\Question: Are secretory phospholipases A2 secreted from ciliated cells and increase mucin and eicosanoid secretion from goblet cells?
answer:
sPLA2 are secreted from ciliated cells and appear to induce mucin and cysLT secretion from goblet cells, strongly suggesting that airway goblet cells are proinflammatory effector cells.


question:
Context: Liraglutide improves the metabolic control of diabetic animals after islet transplantation. However, the mechanisms underlying this effect remain unknown. The objective of this study was to evaluate the anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties of liraglutide on rat pancreatic islets in vitro and in vivo.', 'In vitro, rat islets were incubated with 10\xa0μmol·L', 'Islet viability and function were preserved and enhanced with liraglutide treatment. Liraglutide decreased CCL2 and IL-6 secretion and macrophage activation after 12\xa0h of culture, while IL-10 secretion was unchanged. However, intracellular levels of ROS were increased with liraglutide treatment at 12\xa0h. This result was correlated with an increase of anti-oxidative capacity. In vivo, liraglutide decreased macrophage infiltration and reduced fasting blood glucose in transplanted rats.\Question: Is improvement of islet graft function using liraglutide correlated with its anti-inflammatory properties?
answer:
The beneficial effects of liraglutide on pancreatic islets appear to be linked to its anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties. These findings indicated that analogues of glucagon-like peptide-1 could be used to improve graft survival.


question:
Context: We tested the hypothesis that the negative functional effects of cyclic GMP would be attenuated by cyclic AMP and this interaction would be reduced in pacing-induced failure of hypertrophic hearts.', '8-Bromo-cGMP (2 microg/kg/min) was infused into a coronary artery in eight control, eight ventricular hypertrophy (HYP), and eight hypertrophic failure (HYP-FAIL) dogs. Then isoproterenol (0.1 microg/kg/min) was infused, followed by 8 Br-cGMP. Regional myocardial work (force*shortening/min), and O(2) consumption (VO(2)) (coronary blood flow*O(2) extraction) were measured. Cyclic GMP levels were determined by radioimmunoassay.', '8-Br-cGMP significantly decreased regional work from 3812 +/- 839 g*mm/min by 17% and VO(2) by 29% in control, but not in HYP (1073 +/- 182 by -10%, VO(2) by -16%) or HYP-FAIL (495 +/- 145 by -9%, VO(2) by 0%). Isoproterenol increased work by 43% and VO(2) by 48% in controls and in HYP (work by 54%, VO(2) by 39%), but not in HYP-FAIL (work by -28%, VO(2) by -5%). Subsequently, 8-Br-cGMP had no effect on work or VO(2) in control (-2%, -13%), HYP (-12%, -30%), or HYP-FAIL (+13%, +14%). Cyclic AMP levels were elevated by isoproterenol in control (381 +/- 115 versus 553 +/- 119 pmol/g) and HYP (313 +/- 55 versus 486 +/- 227), but not in HYP-FAIL (300 +/- 60 versus 284 +/- 126). After isoproterenol, 8-Br-cGMP further elevated cyclic AMP in control (687 +/- 122), but not in HYP or HYP-FAIL.\Question: Does heart failure reduce both the effects and interaction between cyclic GMP and cyclic AMP?
answer:

In controls, cyclic AMP attenuated cyclic GMPs negative functional and metabolic effects. The effects and the interaction were blunted in the HYP and HYP-FAIL groups.
