Epinephrine can mimic the stimulatory effects of LH in vitro on cyclic AMP (cAMP) and progesterone production by isolated rat corpora lutea. The aim of the present study was to test whether the effects of epinephrine in vitro on the rat corpus luteum, as with LH, can be inhibited by prostaglandin F2a (PGF2a. The stimulatory effect of epinephrine on tissue levels of cAMP in 1-day-old corpora lutea was not inhibited by PGF2. A dose-dependent inhibition by PGF2a (0.5–50 μM) was seen for 3-day-old corpora lutea and this inhibition could not be overcome by higher concentrations of epinephrine (0.165–165 μM). The stimulation by epinephrine on progesterone production was inhibited by PGF2a (5 μM) in 3- and 5-day-old, but not in 1-day-old corpora lutea. Thus, PGF2a can inhibit the stimulatory effect of epinephrine in 3- and 5-day-old corpora lutea, but not in the newly formed corpora lutea (1-day-old) and PGF2a shows in this respect the same agedependent inhibitory pattern as in relation to LH stimulation. 相似文献

We compared the effect of tropical application of PGF2a on cerebral arterioles in cats and rats equipped with an acutely implanted cranial window. Arterial diameter was measured using a microscope and image splitting device. PGF2a in a concentration ranging from 10?7 to 10?5 M had no effect on large (≥ 100 μm) or small (< 100 μm) cat pial arterioles, but induced a dose dependent constriction of rat pial arterioles with a maximum constriction fo 76% of control diameter. Dilation of cat large cerebral arterioles by topically applied PGE2 was not affected by simultaneous application of PGF2a and PGE2 induced dilation of small arterioles was decreased 3% by PGF2a. While we and others have previosuly shown that both cat and rat brain can synthesize PGF2a, it appears that PGF2a is not likely to normally be a major modulator of cerebral arteriolar resistance in all species. 相似文献

PGF2a has been proposed as a mediator of mammalian ovulation. To elucidate further the role of PGF2a in the process of ovulation, PGF and PGF2a metabolite were measured by radioimmunoassay in the perfusate of an
perfused rabbit ovary preparation.Perfusion medium samples were collected over a 10 to 12 hour period from ovaries perfused with tissue culture M199 (total volume 150 ml, sample volume 3 ml) to which varying amounts of hCG had been added. [The PGF2a antisera a 40% cross reaction with PGF1a, hence total PGF was measured with this antisera.] Both PGF and PGF2a metabolite showed a linear increase with time and numbers of ovulations.PGF media accumulation was 575 pg/ovary/ovulation/hr and PGF2a metabolite accumulation was 367 pg/ovary/ ovulation/hr. Medium prostaglandin content could be correlated with numbers of ovulations, ovulatory efficiency (number of ovulations/total follicles) but
total follicles. These data best fit a model of independent ovulatory units producing PFG2a without recruitment or interaction between them. We infer the PGF and PGF2a metabolites in this system can be used as a direct index of the ovulation process. 相似文献

The efficacy of intravenous Prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) infusion for induction of labor in two different dosage schedules was studied in 90 women between 36 and 43 weeks of gestation. The rate of PGF2α infusion was increased at four-hour intervals in 36 women in the low dosage group and every hour in 54 women in the high dosage group, never exceeding an infusion rate of 20 μg/min. in either group. Labor was successfully induced in approximately 90% of the patients in each group. There was no statistically significant difference in the mean induction-delivery interval between the two groups at the 5 percent level. Intravenous PGF2α was found to be effective and safe for both mother and infant in the dosage schedules used in this study for induction of labor. 相似文献

PGE1 and PGE2 significantly increased human adrenal cAMP levels ; cortisol output was also increased in a dose related fashion. In contrast, PGF1a and PGF2a depressed adrenal cAMP (except PGF2a at 100 μg/ml). PGF1a and PGF2a depressed cortisol levels at all doses. Indomethacin or 7-oxa-13-prostynoic acid did not affect these parameters. However, when applied in conjunction with ACTH they inhibited or enhanced hormonal action depending upon the temporal sequence of application. The findings indicate that prostaglandins modulate ACTH-adrenocortical cell interaction bidirectionally, initially potentiating and subsequently depressing ACTH stimulated events. 相似文献

The effects of Prostaglandin F2a (PGF2a) on cerebral blood flow, cerebral vascular resistance, and cerebrospinal and systemic arterial pressures were determined in anesthetized dogs. Flow was measured from the cannulated sinus confluens after occlusion of the transverse canals. Infusion of 1 to 100 ug/ml of PGF2a into the cerebral ventricular system did not affect cerebral venous outflow but increased cerebral vascular resistance, arterial blood pressure, and cerebrospinal fluid pressure at the higher concentrations. Systemic, intra-aortic arch infusion of PGF2a from 50 to 200 ug/min decreased cerebral venous outflow and increased cerebral vascular resistance slightly. Bilateral, intra-carotid artery infusion of PGF2a at 20 to 80 ug/min produced effects similar in magnitude and direction to systemic, intra-aortic infusion. PGF2a appears to increase cerebral vascular resistance by active vasomotion, dependent upon the route of administration. However, the magnitude of this constriction is not great considering the dose used. Also, PGF2a can increase systemic arterial blood pressure via a central effect. 相似文献

The antiarrhythmic effect of PGF2a was investigated on various models of experimental arrhythmias (CaCl2- and aconitine-induced arrhythmias on rats, BaCl2-induced arrhythmias on rabbits and ouabain-induced arrhythmias on cats). PGF2a was i.v. infused or injected soon after injection of the arrhythmogenic substances. As standard drug we used ajmaline. PGF2a protected maximal 84 % of the animals for 10 min from letal ventricular fibrillations due to CaCl2, while ajmaline acted only in 50 %. The difference of equieffective doses in CaCl2- and aconitine-induced arrhythmias was about one thousand fold. Arrhythmias due to BaCl2 were temporary normalised in 60 % and improved in 40 % of the animals. Ouabain-induced arrhythmias showed normalisation in 40 % and improvement in 30 % of the cats. The difference of equieffective doses of PGF2a and ajmaline in BaCl2- and ouabain-induced arrhythmias was about one hundred fold. The mechanism of action of PGF2a is discussed. 相似文献

Studies were conducted to determine the effect of iodine infusion on the luteal function of goats, as evident by blood progesterone concentration, and on plasma PGF2a levels. Ten cycling mixed breed goats were synchronized for estrus by PGF2a (5 mg) and given a single intrauterine iodine infusion on day 5 and on day 15 of the estrous cycle.Iodine infusion on day 5 (group II) resulted in shorter estrous length (8.2 days) and a 7-fold increase in plasma PGF2a concentration as compared to control animals (group I) given distilled water infusion. Similar infusion on day 15 (group III), on the other hand, failed to alter the estrcus cycle length but induced a moderate increase in PGF2a concentration which lasted only for a brief period. The progesterone levels declined concomitantly as PGF2a levels rose after iodine infusion in group II animals but failed to decline until after 24 hours in group III animals.The studies indicate that the endometrium reacts to the chemical stimuli and releases PGF2a which, in turn, alters the luteal function. 相似文献

Fully convulsant doses of pentamethylenetetrazole cause marked increase in rat brain cortical PGF2α, PGE2, cGMP and cAMP during seizures, whereas subconvulsant doses cause an increase of rat brain cortical PGF2α without affecting the other biochemical parameters considered. Rat cerebellar prostaglandins were not modified by the convulsant agent at either dosage. 相似文献

The effect on smooth muscle of the endoperoxides PGG2 and PGH2, which are intermediates in prostaglandin biosynthesis, was studied in different systems and . On gastrointestinal smooth muscle (gerbil colon, rat stomach) PGG2 and PGH2 produced contractions comparable to those of PGE2 and PGF2a whereas contractions elicited on vascular (rabbit aorta) and airway (guinea-pig trachea) smooth muscle were considerably greater than those of PGE2 and PGF2a respectively. On intravenous injection into guinea-pigs PGG2 and PGH2 caused a triphasic change in blood pressure and were 8–10 times more effective than PGF2a in producing an increase in tracheal insufflation pressure. When given as aerosols the unstable endoperoxides were less effective than PGF2a. It is concluded that the endoperoxides are potent smooth muscle stimulants and that they are more effective than their degradation products (PGD2, PGE2, PGF2a) in some systems. 相似文献

Using specific radioimmunoassay procedures we measured prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) and 13, 14-dihydro-15-keto prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α metabolite) in 12 patients with carcinoid tumors. Although PGF2α and PGF2α metabolite were each modestly elevated in 17% of the patients the magnitude of the elevation did not correlate with the symptoms of the carcinoid syndrome. The 24 hour urinary 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid excretion showed a good correlation with carcinoid symptoms while the serum serotonin concentration showed a fair correlation with carcinoid symptoms. We conclude that serum elevation of PGF2α is not a frequent occurrence in patients with the carcinoid syndrome. 相似文献

DIPA [5,6-bis(dibenzyloxy)-1-oxo-2-propyl-2-indanpropionic acid] was evaluated for its antiabortifacient action in mice. PGF2α administered intramuscularly twice daily at 525 μg/kg per dose starting on day-17 of gestation resulted in premature delivery (prior to day-19 of gestation) in 55% of the animals. This constituted an ED50 abortifacient dosage schedule of PGF2α. Intramuscular administration of DIPA at a dose of 50 mg/kg twice daily, starting on day-15 of gestation, protected the mice against the premature delivery induced by the ED50 dosage schedule of PGF2α in that only 20% of the animals delivered prematurely. In saline-treated controls, none of the animals delivered prior to day-19 of gestation. Thus, DIPA appears to be an effective antiabortifacient agent. 相似文献

The effects on the beating behavior of cultured rat heart cells of fourteen prostaglandins of the A, B, D, E, and F series were investigated, together with adrenaline and ouabain, at dose levels of 10−7 and 10−5M. Single heart cell beating activity was monitored photo-electrically and five parameters of beating behavior measured. Only PGF2a markedly increased rate while PGF2B reduced it. Maintenance of a stable rate (rate range) was minimally affected by prostaglandins with PGF2β possibly reducing, and PGF1α and 2-decarboxy E1 possibly increasing, rate range. PGF1α and F2α both statistically reduced the percentage of cells beating while the other prostaglandins had no effect. Most of the prostaglandins either produced no change, or reduced, indices of contractile force (optical density changes with contractions and its first derivative (dOD/dt)). Only the negative chronotropic agent PGF2β positive density effect. In conclusion, except for PGF2α, prostaglandins generally have limited actions on the beating activity of cultured heart cells. 相似文献

In these experiments we have examined the effects of PGE1, PGE2, PGF1α and PGF2α on synovial perfusion in the normal canine synovial microcirculation. The effects of the drugs on synovial perfusion were determined indirectly from the changes produced in the rate of clearance of 133Xenon from the joint by their intra-articular injection. Prostaglandins PGE1 and PGE2 were found to be strongly vasodilator with PGE1 being the more active. PGF1α appeared to have little or no vasoactive properties in doses up to 1 ugm. (2.8 × 10−5M) in our I preparation while PGF2α was vasodilator at this high dosage only. Neither SC19920 nor diphloretin phosphate antagonised the effects of PGE1 in these experiments. 相似文献

We examined effects of protein kinase C (PKC) activation by phorbol dibutyrate (PDB) on prostaglandin production in astroglia. Astroglia were cultured from sheep fetal cortex and grown in Eagle's basal media supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum (BME-C). Prostaglandin F2a (PGF2α) levels in media were determined at 2–24 hours after exposure to PDB. PDB increased production of PGF2α at 10−8M and 10−6M. In addition, PDB increased the ratio of membrane to cytosolic PKC. Coapplication of H7 [1-(5-isoquinolinylsulfonyl)-2-methyl-piperazine] (10−4M) with PDB (10−6M) inhibited PDB-induced PGF2a production. To investigate the role of protein synthesis in increased prostaglandin production by PDB, astroglia were coincubated with actinomycin D (1 mg/ml) or cycloheximide (10 mg/ml). At 4 hrs, both actinomycin D and cycloheximide inhibited increases in PGF2a in response to PDB application. In addition, COX-2 mRNA levels and COX activity levels were examined. PDB increased COX-2 mRNA levels by 2 hours, and COX activity tripled after 12 hr exposure to PDB. In addition, the increase in COX activity was blocked by cycloheximide. In summary, PKC activation promotes enhanced prostaglandin production via an increase in COX synthesis. 相似文献

Explants from term human placentas were maintained in culture with daily changes of medium. Daily output of PGF2α and PGFM1 decreased during the course of the incubation. Addition of 4 μg/ml DHEAS or 67 μg/ml LDL cholesterol had no effect on output of PGF2α or PGFM. Addition of 1.6, 3.2, or 6.4 μg/ml of LHRH to the culture plates had no effect on output of PGFM or PGF2α, but LHRH increased hCG output. Dibutyryl cAMP (1mM, 2mM, and 4mM) increased output of PGF2α, PGFM, and hCG. Aromatase inhibitor decreased hCG output, but it was without effect on output of PGF2α, or PGFM. Significant correlations were demonstrated between progesterone, PGFM, PGF2α, and hCG, suggesting that PGF2α originates in the syncytiotrophoblast cell. The ability of LHRH to stimulate output of hCG but not PGF2α while dbcAMP stimulated both suggests that either PGF2α and hCG arise in different cells or that LHRH does not act through cAMP. 相似文献

Radioimmunoassays for measuring prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) and 5α, 7α-dihydroxy-11-keto tetranorprosta-1,16-dioic acid, PGF2α-main urinary metabolite (PGF2α-MUM), with 125I-tyrosine methylester amide (TMA) of PGF2α and PGF2α-MUM were developed.Antibody to PGF2α was produced in rabbits immunized with conjugates of PGF2α coupled to bovine serum albumine. Antibody to PGF2α-MUM was also produced in rabbits immunized with conjugates of PGF2α-MUM coupled to bovine serum albumin.PGF2α-125I-TMA had an affinity to antiserum to PGF2α. PGF2α-MUM-125I-TMA also responded to antiserum to PGF2α-MUM. 相似文献

When ovine large luteal cells are placed in culture and exposed to PGF2α, there is a rapid and sustained increase in the concentration of free intracellular calcium which is believed to play a major role in the luteolytic and cytotoxic effects of PGF2α. Since administration of exogenous PGE2 can prevent spontaneous and PGF2α-induced luteolysis in vivo, and the cytotoxic effects of PGF2α on large luteal cells in vitro, the objective of this study was to determine if one mechanism by which PGE2 acts is to attenuate increases in free intracellular calcium induced by PGF2α. At concentrations of 10 nM or greater, PGF2α caused a significant and sustained increase in free intracellular calcium in large luteal cells. Similarly, PGE2 also induced increases in free intracellular calcium but required doses 20-fold greater than PGF2α. When PGE2 (1, 10 or 100 nM) was incubated with PGF2α (100 nM) increases in free intracellular calcium induced by PGF2α were attenuated (P<0.05) when measured 5 min, but not at 30 min, after initiation of treatment. The observed decrease in the concentration of free intracellular calcium at 5 min in response to PGF2α was the result of fewer cells responding to PGF2α. In addition, the concentrations of free intracellular calcium attained in the cells that did respond was reduced 25% compared to cells treated with PGF2α alone. Thus, part of the luteal protective actions of PGE2 appears to involve an inhibition of the early (5 min) increase in free intracellular calcium induced by PGF2α. 相似文献

The efficiency and acceptability of a single-dose, long-acting vaginal suppository containing 3.0 mg of 15-methyl PGF2α methyl ester was compared with intra-amniotic administration of 50 mg of PGF2α in 100 patients with a second trimester pregnancy termination. Within 24 hours, 78 per cent of the patients in the vaginal group and 92 per cent in the intra-amniotic group had aborted. The mean induction-abortion interval was 17.9 hours in the vaginal group and 15.8 hours in the intra-amniotic group.Gastrointestinal side-effects were more frequent, but the procedure was less painful, with vaginal 15-methyl PGF2α methyl ester than with intra-amniotic PGF2α.The vaginal route is technically simple for adaptation to large-scale use, but the high frequency of gastrointestinal side-effects still limits the acceptability of 15-methyl PGF2α methyl ester in vaginal administration. 相似文献

In experiments
and
we have previously shown that PGF2α directly antagonized the action of gonadotrophins on the corpus luteum. To determine if this action of PGF2α may occur as a consequence of an induced loss of gonadotrophin receptors, binding of hCG to rat luteal tissue was measured following PGF2α treatment
. In immature rats which were treated with exogenous gonadotrophin to luteinize the gonads, PGF2α produced a marked and highly significant decrease in circulating progesterone when administered 24 hours before sacrifice. Although the affinity constant (Ka; 1.2-2 × 1010 L/M) of the luteal receptor to hCG was not affected, PGF2α treatment produced a marked fall in the binding capacity of the luteal tissue to hCG. This response was absent, however, when PGF2α was incubated directly with luteal receptor or administered during early pseudopregnancy when corpora lutea are more resistant to luteolysis. Experiments are in progress to determine if the decrease in capacity of luteal receptors to bind hCG is the mechanism or a consequence of luteolysis produced by PGF2α. 相似文献
