Exogenously administered PGE1 or PGE2, like atropine, markedly decreased both the flow and calcium concentration of parasympathetically evoked rat parotid saliva: PGF2α was less effective. Despite the fact that prostaglandins greatly reduced the Ca concentration of nerve-evoked saliva, they did not change the glandular Ca concentration of either control or parasympathetically stimulated parotid glands. Prostaglandins (20 μg/kg, i.a.) decreased the Na or K concentration of nerve-evoked parotid saliva, but at lower doses had no significant effect. PGE1, PGE2, PGF2α or atropine markedly decreased flow rates of similarly evoked rat submandibular saliva. Prostaglandins and atropine, however, decreased the Na concentration and increased the K concentration of parasympathetically evoked submandibular saliva. PGF2α, like atropine, increased the Ca concentration of such saliva. Drug vehicle, ethanol, slightly decreased the flow of both parotid and submandibular saliva but not the ion secretion. Endogenous prostaglandins themselves may not play a role in a secretory activities during parasympathetic nerve stimulation of rat salivary glands, since administration of indomethacin, an inhibitor of prostaglandins biosynthesis, prior to or during nerve stimulation did not significantly alter nerve-evoked salivary secretion. The mechanisms by which prostaglandins modulate secretory responses of salivary glands during parasympathetic stimulation are not understood. 相似文献

Prostaglandins are antiarrhythmic in a variety of situations including ischaemic arrhythmias, but the mechanisms involved are not known. In view of this, the protective actions of prostaglandins A2, E2, F1α, F2β, and I2 against abnormalities of beating induced in cultured heart cells were investigated. Abnormalities of beating were induced in single cells by a variety of agents including ouabain, Ca++, K+, dinitrophenol (DNP), and toxic material from the jellyfish
. Abnormalities were assessed in terms of rate, rate range, subjective arrhythmic behaviour and percent cells beating. The prostaglandins (at 10−7-10−5 M) were added with the arrhythmogenic agent to test for their ability to modify agent-induced beating abnormalities and were compared with lidocaine and quinidine. Prostaglandins alone had minimal direct effects on the cells and only minimally reduced responses to arrhythmogenic agents. The most protective prostaglandins, PGE2 and PGF1α, tended to normalise beating behaviour most noticeably in DNP-treated cells, unlike lidocaine and quinidine which were effective against Ca++-induced changes while worsening those of K+. Thus, a general ability to protect disturbed cardiac cells is not seen with high concentrations of prostaglandins. 相似文献

Prostaglandins are involved in the modulation of various central functions (neurotransmitters and hypothalamic hormone release, thermoregulation, cerebro-vascular tone) and their levels increase in pathological situations [subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), stroke, convulsive disorders, etc.]. This study, using sensitive and specific antibodies, examined levels of four eicosanoids, Prostaglandins E2 and F2α(PGE2, PGF2α); and the metabolites of PGI2, 6-keto-prostaglandin F1α (6-keto-PGF1α) and of thromboxane A2, thromboxane B2 (TxB2), in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) obtained atraumatically from three species (human, canine, and feline). An assessment of the methodologic procedures (extraction and radioimmunoassay) was carried out. Human lumbar cerebrospinal fluid was shown to contain PGF2α (15–44 pg/ml), 6-keto-PGF1α (undetectable to 39 pg/ml), and TxB2 (un-detectable to 28 pg/ml), whereas PGE2 was undetectable (>18 pg) in all cases. In both animals species the eico-sanoid concentrations were 3-to 30-fold higher than humans for every prostaglandin examined. Although the prostaglandin profile for a given species remained constant (cat, PGE2:6-keto-PGF1α:TxB2:PGF2α; dog, TxB2:PGE2:6-keto-PGF1α:PGF2α), the absolute levels were found to be lower in the pentobarbital-anesthetized animals than in conscious cats. The correspondence of the prostaglandin profiles found in cerebrospinal fluid with the profiles reported in the literature in brain homogenates for the same species supports the hypothesis that cerebrospinal fluid levels of prostaglandins reflect the relative rates of synthesis in neural tissue. 相似文献

Summary The amount and types of prostaglandins present in Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba Dana.) were estimated. Samples of fresh krill were collected during III Antarctic Cruise of RV Polarstern in November 1984. Prostaglandins were extracted, separated by column and thin-layer chromatography and identified as PGA2, PGB2, PGE2, PGF2. Quantitative measurements were made by a biological method (Vane cascade), concentrations of the most abundant prostaglandins PGE2 and PGF2 being 1.6 and 4 ng/1 g of fresh tissue, respectively. Such low level of prostaglandin would not be harmful when using krill as a food supplement. 相似文献

Metabolism of [3H] arachidonic acid ([3H] AA) and synthesis of prostaglandins were examined with ovine conceptuses and endometrial slices collected on various days after mating. Tissues were incubated for 24 hr with or without 5 μCi of [3H] AA and with 200 μg radioinert AA. In experiment 1, results of chromatography indicated that conceptuses collected on days 14 and 16 after mating metabolized [3H] AA to PGE2, PGF2α, PGFM, 6-keto-PGF1α, and to unidentified compounds in three chromatographic regions. One of these regions (region 1) contained triglycerides. Endometrial slices metabolized only small amounts of the [3H] AA to prostaglandins. In experiment 2, results of radioimmunoassays indicated that day 14 conceptuses released somewhat similar amounts (ng/mg tissue) of PGF2α (32.1 ± 17.9), PGFM (8.4 ± 6.2), PGE2 (12.3 ± 7.5) and 6-keto-PGF1α (41.4± 4.8), whereas day 16 conceptuses released more (P<.05) PGF2α (9.0 ± 4.1) and 6-keto-PGF1α (15.9 ± 2.7) than PGE2 (0.9 ± 0.2) or PGFM (0.5 ± 0.08). Day 14 and 16 endometrial slices released (ng/mg tissue) more (P<.05) PGFM (3.0 ± 0.2) and 6-keto-PGF1α (4.0 ± 0.4) than PGF2α (0.5 ± 0.08) or PGE2 (0.05 ± 0.02). In experiment 3, conceptuses were recovered on days 16, 20 and 24 of pregnancy and incubated with [3H] AA to determine the effects of indomethacin on [3H] AA metabolism. In general, indomethacin (Id; 4 × 10−4 M) reduced (P<.05) the percentage of total dpm recovered as prostaglandins, but Id increased the release of chromatographic region I. Experiment 4 was conducted with day 16, 20 and 24 conceptuses to evaluate the time course of metabolism of [3H] AA, and the appearance of region I and of prostaglandins. In general, the percentage of total dpm in region I increased as the percentage of dpm as [3H] AA decreased. The percentage of dpm as prostaglandins increased as the percentage of dpm in region I decreased. Prostaglandins, probably essential for embroynal survival and development, were synthesized in vitro by ovine conceptuses. 相似文献

Preparations of small and large steroidogenic cells from enzymatically dispersed ovine corpora lutea were utilized to study the effects of luteinizing hormone (LH) and prostaglandins (PG) E1, E2 and I2. Cells were allowed to attach to culture dishes overnight and were incubated with either LH (100 ng/ml), PGE2, PGE2, or PGI2 (250 ng/ml each). The secretion of progesterone by large cells was stimulated by all prostaglandins tested (P < 0.05) while the moderate stimulation observed after LH treatment was attributable to contamination of the large cell population with small cells. Prostaglandins E1 and E2 had no effect on progesterone secretion by small cells, while LH was stimulatory at all times (0.5 to 4 hr) and PGI2 was stimulatory by 4 hr. Additional studies were conducted to determine if the effects of PGE2 upon steroidogenesis in large cells were correlated with stimulated activity of adenylate cyclase. In both plated and suspended cells PGE2 caused an increase (P < 0.05) in the rate of progesterone secretion but had no effect upon the activity of adenylate cyclase or cAMP concentrations within cells or in the incubation media. Exposure of luteal cells to forskolin, a nonhormonal stimulator of adenylate cyclase, resulted in marked increases in all parameters of cyclase activity but had no effect on progesterone secretion. These data suggest that the actions of prostaglandins E1, E2 and I2 are directed primarily toward the large cells of the ovine corpus luteum and cast doubt upon the role of adenylate cyclase as the sole intermediary in regulation of progesterone secretion in this cell type. 相似文献

Prostaglandins are well known for their ability to stimulate contraction in gastrointestinal smooth muscle, yet very little information is available on how their activity affects propulsion
. Thus, studies were undertaken to determine the effect of various prostaglandins on qastric emptying (GE) and small intestinal transit (SIT) in unanesthetized fasted rats. Rats were treated with intravenous, subcutaneous, or oral PGF2α, PGE2, or 16,16 dimethyl PGE2 at various doses, followed 1 (intravenous), 20 (subcutaneous) or 10 (oral) mins later by intragastric 51Cr oxide in black ink. Forty-five mins later, rats were sacrificed by CO2 asphyxiation, the pylorus clamped, and the gut excised. SIT was expressed as the percent of intestinal length traveled by the most distal portion of ink. GE was expressed as the percent of the 51Cr emptied into the intestines. If GE was affected by prostaglandin treatment, the experiments were repeated with rats pre-implanted with duodenal cannula. This preparation allowed the visual transit marker to be deposited directly into the dueodenum, thus avoiding acceleration or delay of SIT caused by fluctuations in GE. The results of these studies show that: (1) intravenous 16,16 dimethyl PGE2 (5–50 μg/kg), but not PGF2α or PGE2, accelerates GE and delays SIT; (2) oral prostaglandin administration increases SIT; (3) oral 16,16 dimethyl PGE2 delays GE; (4) subcutaneous 16,16 dimethyl PGE2 accelerates, has no effect upon, or delays GE depending upon dose, but accelerates SIT at all doses tested; and (5) subcutaneous PGE2 accelerates SIT while PGF2α does not. Thus, the effect of prostaglandins on GE and SIT depends upon the dosage and route of administration as well as type of prostaglandin used. 相似文献

Administration of exogenous prostaglandins at the time of mating may improve fertility via their effects on uterine contractility. The present study was undertaken to compare the effects of three prostaglandins that affect either the male or female reproductive uterine contractility. Contractions in the uterine body of anesthetized ewes during estrus were studied before, during and after a 5 min interval of systemic infusion of prostaglandin F2α-THAM salt (PGF2α; 5 mg), prostaglandin E1 (PGE1; 5 mg), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2; 5 mg) or vehicle. Pressure changes were detected by the use of an open-ended intrauterine catheter and a transducer. Each of the three prostaglandins initially caused a single prolonged contraction that lasted about 10 minutes and had a maximum pressure of 50 mm Hg. Prior to the prolonged contraction, PGE1 and E2 caused a relaxation for about 1 minute. In addition, PGE1 and E2 caused more secondary contractions (15–20) during the prolonged contraction than did PGF2α (7–9). The effects of prostaglandin (PG) treatment lasted for 20–30 minutes. The authors conclude that with the dose used the three prostaglandins studied do not have greatly different effects on uterine contractility in estrous ewes. 相似文献

The action of prostaglandins and indomethacin on gastric mucosal cyclic nucleotide concentrations was evaluated in 18 anesthetized mongrel dogs. Prostaglandins E1 (PGE1) and E2 (PGE2) (25 μg/kg bolus, then 2 μg/kg/min) were administered both intravenously (4 experiments; femoral vein) and directly into the gastric mucosal circulation (10 experiments; superior mesenteric artery). The possible synergistic effect of pre-treatment and continuous arterial infusion of indomethacin (5 mg/kg bolus for 5 min, then 5 mg/min), a prostaglandin synthetase inhibitor, with PGE2 was studied in 4 experiments. Antral and fundic mucosa were biopsied and measured by radioimmunoassay for cyclic nucleotides. Doses of PGE1 and PGE2 which inhibited histamine-stimulated canine gastric acid secretion did not significantly alter antral or fundic mucosal cyclic nucleotide concentrations. Concomitant infusion of PGE2 with indomethacin did not potentiate the mucosal nucleotide response compared to PGE2 alone. These studies fail to implicate cyclic nucleotides as mediators of the inhibitory acid response induced by PGE1 or PGE2 in intact dog stomach. 相似文献

Intracellular levels of cyclic 3′,5′-adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) in purified guinea pig peritoneal macrophages were elevated following incubation with the adenylate cyclase stimulators prostaglandins E1 and E2 (PGE1, PGE2), isoproterenol, and cholera toxin. Exposure of macrophages to antigen-stimulated lymphocyte culture supernatants, containing migration inhibitory factor (MIF), resulted in a moderate but consistent decrease in the cAMP level, which was best expressed after 1–2 hr of incubation. Incubation of macrophages with MIF-containing supernatants or partially purified MIF for 1–2 hr resulted in reduced cAMP accumulation in response to PGE1, PGE2, isoproterenol, and cholera toxin (nonspecific refractoriness). These findings indicate that MIF-induced inhibition of macrophage migration is not due to an increase in the cellular level of cAMP and that the reduction in cAMP concentration, caused by MIF, is probably a secondary phenomenon unrelated to the inhibition of cellular motility. 相似文献

The conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandins (PG's) and thromboxane B2 (TXB2) was investigated in homogenates from fetal and adult bovine and rabbit lungs. Adult bovine lungs were very active in converting arachidonic acid (100 μg/g tissue) to both PGE2 (10.7 μg/g tissue) and TXB2 (6.2 μ/g tissue). Smaller amounts of PGF2α (0.9 μ/g) and 6-oxoPGF1α were formed. Homogenates from fetal calf lungs during the third trimester of pregnancy were quite active in converting arachidonic acid to PGE2, but formed very little TXB2, PGF2α or 6-oxoPGF1α. Homogenates from rabbit lungs converted arachidonic acid (100 μg/g) mainly to PGE2, both before and after birth. The amount of PGE2 formed increased during gestation to a maximum of about 6 μg/g tissue at 28 days of gestation. It then decreased to a minimum (1.5 μg/g) which was observed 8 days after birth, followed by an increase to about 4 μg/g in older rabbits. 相似文献

Effects of parathyroid hormone (PTH) and several prostaglandins (PGs) on cyclic AMP (cAMP) metabolism were studied and compared in isolated renal cortical tubules from male hamsters. Both production and intracellular degradation of cAMP were increased by PTH and each of the PGs tested (PGE2, PGE1, PGI2). Production of cAMP was increased to similar levels by maximal concentrations of PTH and each PG, however, degradation of cAMP was significantly higher in response to PTH than with any of the PGs. This difference in intracellular degradation of cAMP was responsible for the much higher concentrations of cAMP in renal cortical tubules exposed to PGs (PGE1, PGE2, PGI2) than to PTH. Submaximal amounts of each PG produced additive increases in cAMP concentrations in the presence of maximal amounts of PTH. Additivity of the combined responses was lost, however, as the PGs concentrations reached their maximas. The results suggest that renal PGs (PGE2 and PGI2) may modulate the effects of PTH on cAMP concentrations in renal cortical tubules. 相似文献

The prostaglandins PGF2α, PGE2 and 16,16-dimethyl PGE2, when administered intravenously, orally, subcutaneously or intraduodenally to laparotomized rats, decreased gastric emptying, small intestinal transit and colonic transit as compared to unoperated controls. All three prostaglandins increased colonic transit above that found with unoperated controls. This activity was independent of small intestinal fluid accumulation (i.e., enteropooling) since ligating the ileal-cecal junction had no effect on colonic transit. Small intestinal transit was increased, but not normalized, by PGE2 and 16,16-dimethyl PGE2. 16,16-Dimethyl PGE2 completely restored gastric emptying when given intravenously to laparotomized rats at doses greater than 5.0 μg/kg. This effect on gastric emptying lasted approximately 4 hrs. Thus, 16,16-dimethyl PGE2, when given intravenously, normalized gastric emptying, significantly increased small intestinal transit, and made the colon hypermotile. Prostaglandins may be beneficial in the treatment of post-operative ileus and other conditions of sluggish gastrointestinal propulsion. 相似文献

Prostaglandins are thought to play an important role in the local regulation of glomerular blood flow and in the release of renin from the juxtaglomerular apparatus. We therefore examined prostaglandin synthesis by isolated rat glomeruli. Isolated glomeruli were either prelabeled with [14C] arachidonic acid or were incubated with [14C] arachidonic acid for the entire experimental incubation in Krebs buffer. Prostaglandin synthesis was determined by thin layer radiochromatography of acid extracts of the supernatant solutions. Indomethacin inhibitable synthesis of small amounts of 6-keto-PGF1α, the metabolite of prostacyclin(PGI2,) and larger amounts of PGF2α, and PGE2, and possibly thromboxane B2 (TXB2) by isolated glomeruli could be demonstrated with either prelabeling or direct incubation. These findings support the hypothesis that prostaglandins are produced within the glomerulus where they may affect local glomerular blood flow and function. 相似文献

Summary Prostaglandins (E1, E2 and F2) stimulated the chloride transport of the frog corneal epithelium with maximal effects at 10–5
m in the aqueus side. This stimulation does not occur in Cl-free solutions and the net36Cl flux increased proportionally to the short-circuit current. Polyphloretin phosphate (PPP) and diphloretin phosphate (DPP) inhibited the response if added within 3 min before PGE1. The maximal response to epinephrine 10–5
m and dibutyryl cyclic AMP 10–3
m was not changed by further addition of prostaglandins, but these drugs produced their full effect when administered at the peak of the response of prostaglandins. The maximal response to theophylline 10–5
m was increased by PGE1. PPP and DPP did not modify the response to epinephrine. Prostaglandin stimulation of the chloride transport was accompanied by increased light transmission through partially opaque corneas. The known release of prostaglandins in the aqueous humor can be associated to a direct action on the corneal epithelium manifested in the activation described herein. 相似文献

The exogenous and endogenous syntheses of prostaglandins (PG's) by the cochlea of adult mongolian gerbils were studied
. After incubation of the whole membraneous cochlea with [3H]-arachidonic acid (AA), syntheses of PGF2α, 6-keto PGF1α, PGE2, thromboxane (TX) B2 and PGD2 were evidenced in this order. The synthesis of radioactive PG's was almost completely inhibited by incubation with 10−5 M indomethacin. No significant amounts of those PG's were detected by radioimmunoassay (RIA) in the cochlea obtained from animals killed by microwave irradiation at 5.0 kw for 0.8 sec. However, when the homogenate of the whole membraneous cochlea obtained from animals without microwave irradiation was incubated at 37°C for 0–15 min, PGD2, PGE2, PGF2α and 6-keto PGF1α were found to be formed from endogenous AA in the cochlea by RIA. PG's were formed already at 0 time to considerable level (PGD2, PGF2α and 6-keto PGF1α, 90–120 pg/cochlea; PGE2, 370 pg/cochlea), reached to the maximum level (PGD2, PGF2α and 6-keto PGF1α, 170–200 pg/cochlea; PGE2, 500 pg/cochlea) at a 5-min incubation, and then gradually decreased. On the other hand, the amount of TXB2 was lower than the detection limit by RIA (<50 pg/cochlea) even after the incubation. The cochlea was dissected into three parts: organ of Corti + modiolus (OC + M), lateral wall (LW), and cochlear nerve (CN), and then PG's formed by these tissues were determined after a 5-min incubation of the homogenates. In the CN and OC + M, PGE2 was the major PG (100 and 160 pg/tissue, respectively), and the amounts of PGD2, PGF2α and 6-keto PGF1α were about
of those of PGE2. In the LW, the amounts of PGD2, PGE2, PGF2α and 6-keto PGF1α were about the same level (70–100 pg/LW). 相似文献

Prostaglandin endoperoxides. VII. Novel transformations of arachidonic acid in guinea pig lung 总被引:16,自引:0,他引:16
The following labeled compounds were isolated and identified after incubation of [1-14C]arachidonic acid with guinea pig lung homogenates: 12-hydroxy-5,8,10-heptadecatrienoic acid (HHT), the hemiacetal derivative of 8-(1-hydroxy-3-oxopropyl)-9,12-dihydroxy-5,10-heptadecadienoic acid (PHD), 12-hydroxy-5,8,10,14-eicosatetraenoic acid (HETE), PGE2, PGF2α, 11-hydroxy-5,8,12,14-eicosatetraenoic acid, and 15-hydroxy-5,8,11,13-eicosatetraenoic acid (in order of decreasing yield). Perfused guinea pig lungs released PHD (654–2304 ng), HHT (192–387 ng), HETE (66–111 ng), PGE2 (15–93 ng), and PGF2α (93–171 ng) following injection of 30 μg of arachidonic acid. Thus guinea pig lung homogenates as well as intact guinea pig lung converted added arachidonic acid predominantly into PHD and HHT, metabolites of the prostaglandin endoperoxide PGG2, and to a lesser extent into the classical prostaglandins PGE2 and PGF2α. 相似文献

1. A high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using 9-anthryldiazomethane (ADAM) as a fluorescent reagent was employed to detemine the levels of endogenous prostaglandins (PGs) in the central nervous system, gonad, gill and hemolymph of the scallop, and the authors have also verified the involvement of PGs during spawning induced by u.v. ray-irradiated seawater.2. PGF2α, PGE2, PGD2, 6-keto-PGF1α. and TXB2 were identified in all tissue and hemolymph, while no PGD2 was found in the hemolymph by HPLC.3. PGF2α, PGE2 and PGD2 levels in the ovary were about four times as much as those in the testis during the spawning season.4. PGF2α, PGE2 and PGD2 levels in the ovary decreased during spawning, while, on the contrary, those in the testis increased during spawning. No changes of PGs levels were observed in the central nervous system.5. These results suggest the possibility that PGF2α and PGE2 are, especially, implicated in the spawning of the scallop; however, they also indicate that a difference between the functional mechanism of PGs in the ovary and that in the testis exists during spawning. 相似文献

In vitro synthesis of progesterone and estradiol-17β from endogenous precursors was studied in the placenta from women in early stage of gestation (< 7 weeks). Radioimmunoassay techniques were used to measure progesterone and estradiol-17β.It was shown that placental tissue from as early as six weeks of gestation can synthesize both progesterone and estradiol-17β in vitro. Prostaglandins F2α and E2 in concentration of 100 μg/ml of the incubation media did not have any significant effect on the in vitro synthesis of progesterone and estradiol-17β in the placental tissue.It seems unlikely that the abortifacient effect of natural prostaglandins PGE2 and PGF2α is due to their direct action on the synthesis of progesterone and estradiol-17β in the placenta. 相似文献
