We explored the possibility that prostacyclin might be the dilator metabolite of postprandial hyperemia. In canine free-flow preparations, effects of prostacyclin were compared with effects of actively absorbed nutrients on hemodynamic and metabolic parameters in the small intestine. Prostacyclin was infused directly into the superior mesenteric artery for 10 minutes at 1.0 nanograms/kg-min. In absorptive study an isosmotic solution of glucose (1.0 g/l) dissolved in 0.9% NaCl was perfused through the gut lumen for 20 minutes. Prostacyclin increased total blood flow to the intestinal segment and decreased oxygen extraction, while not significantly changing either oxygen consumption or PS-product. Active cotransport of glucose and sodium increased total blood flow, oxygen extraction, oxygen consumption and PS-product.In constant flow canine gut preparations, intraarterial prostacyclin infusion decreased arterial pressure, oxygen extraction, oxygen consumption and mesenteric vascular resistance but increased venous pressure. Absorption of glucose and sodium increased oxygen extraction but decreased mesenteric vascular resistance while not affecting other parameters significantly.Since responses to prostacyclin did not coincide with responses to metabolically dependent transport of glucose and sodium, we conclude that the dilator metabolite of postprandial hyperemia is probably not prostacyclin. 相似文献

Continuously superfused rat anterior pituitary cells were used to study the effects of exogenous prostaglandins (PGs) and thromboxanes (TXs) on the secretion of prolactin (PRL). No change in hormone release was observed upon superfusion with TXB2 (10(-5)M) or the TX synthesis inhibitor, imidazole (1.5 mM). PGs A2, B2, D2, E1, E2, F1 alpha, F2 alpha, and endoperoxide analogs, U-44069 and U-46619, also had no effect on PRL secretion (all at 10(-5)M). In contrast 10(-5)M PGI2 was repeatedly found to stimulate PRL release to a level at least 125% above control, while producing no apparent change in the amount of hormone secreted in response to TRH. Somatostatin (SRIF), at a dose of 10(-6)M, maximally inhibited TRH-induced PRL output, but failed to alter the PRL response to PGI2. These studies indicate that PGI2 may have a direct effect on the anterior pituitary to modify PRL secretion. 相似文献

Colocalization prostacyclin (PGI2) synthase--caveolin-1 in endothelial cells and new roles for PGI2 in angiogenesis 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

In vascular cells, prostacyclin (PGI2) synthase (PGI2s) has been localized in the endoplasmic reticulum of endothelial cells and in the nuclear and plasma membrane of smooth muscle cells. In human umbilical vein endothelial (HUVE) cells, we detected the enzyme in abundant cytoplasmic vesicles apparently originating from the plasma membrane and similar to those stained by gold-albumin, which interacts with a caveolar receptor. This prompted us to try a direct confocal microscopy approach aimed at colocalizing gold-albumin, caveolin-1, and PGI2 synthase. Moreover, the staining of HUVE cells with an anti-BiP7Grp78 antibody (a marker of endoplasmic reticulum) shows a perinuclear localization, sharply separated from PGI2 synthase localization. The results indicate that more than 80% of the enzyme resides in cellular sites costaining with caveolin-1 antibody and gold-albumin. This evidence was confirmed by the demonstration that PGI2 synthase and caveolin-1 coimmunoprecipitate in HUVE cell lysates and that they are associated to detergent-insoluble membrane domains in the same low-density fractions of a sucrose gradient. In addition, depletion of cellular cholesterol by mevalonate and methyl-beta-cyclodextrin leads to the shift of PGI2 synthase and caveolin-1 to higher density fractions of the gradient. Biochemical evidence about colocalization was supported by the use of a fusion protein glutathione S-transferase (GST)/caveolin-1, which retained either PGI2s purified from ram seminal vesicles or PGI2s present in HUVE cell lysates. Binding of PGI2s to caveolin "scaffolding domain" and to C-terminal region was deduced by using full-length GST--Cav-1, GST--Cav 61--101, and GST C- and N-terminal fusion proteins. A double approach based on the usage of filipin as a specific caveolae-disrupting agent and antisense oligonucleotides targeting PGI2 synthase mRNA suggests that the production of PGI2 in caveolae is likely to be connected to the regulation of angiogenesis, at least in vitro. 相似文献

Physiological roles have been suggested for prostacyclin in the cardiovascular system. Prostacyclin was administered by intravenous infusion to unanesthetized rats. Over a 24 hr period, 0.32 mg/kg/day caused only flushing of the ears. Larger doses (0.56 and 1 mg/kg/day) caused hypothermia, behavioral depression, and swelling of the paws. Cumulative dose-response curves for its depressor action were determined in both unanesthetized and anesthetized, vagotomized, ganglion-blocked rats. In unanesthetized rats, the threshold dose was about 0.1 ug/kg/min. Respiratory depression precluded doses larger than 1 ug/kg/min. In anesthetized rats, the threshold dose was about 0.001 ug/kg/min, and the maximally effective dose was about 0.1 micrograms/kg/min. At 0.032 ug/kg/min, blood pressure first fell and then rose slightly. This compensatory rise did not occur in nephrectomized rats, suggesting renin release as the mechanism. Intravenous infusion of 0.1 but not 0.01 ug/kg/min in unanesthetized rats doubled plasma renin activity. In saline-loaded unanesthetized rats, urine volume and urinary sodium excretion were decreased by 0.1 ug/kg/min of prostacyclin. 相似文献

The effects of prostacyclin (PGI2) and its stable metabolite 6-oxo-PGF1alpha on various bioassay tissues are compared with those of PGE2 and PGF2alpha, using the cascade superfusion method. On vascular smooth muscle, PGI2 caused relaxation of all tissues tested except the rabbit aorta. PGE2 relaxed rabbit coeliac and mesenteric artery but contracted bovine coronary artery and had no effect on rabbit aorta. 6-oxo-PGF1alpha was ineffective at the concentrations tested. On gastro-intestinal smooth muscle, PGI2 contracted strips of rat and hamster stomach and the chick rectum. It was less potent than PGE2 or PGF2alpha. None of these substances contracted the cat terminal ileum. 6-oxo-PGF1alpha was inactive on these tissues at the doses tested. PGI2 was less active than PGE2 or PGF2alpha in contracting guinea-pig trachea and rat uterus; 6-oxo-PGF1alpha was active only on the rat uterus. Thus, PGI2 can be distinguished from the other stable prostaglandins using the cascade method of superfusion. 相似文献

The influence of epinephrine on prostacyclin (PGI2) induced dissociation of adp aggregated platelets
《Prostaglandins and medicine》1980,4(6):385-397
Prostacyclin (PGI2) is a powerful inhibitor of platelet function and recent studies have indicated that it can dissociate aggregated platelets in vivo. The present investigation has evaluated the mechanism involved in the dissociation of ADP aggregated platelets by PGI2, the influence of epinephrine on the process of PGI2 mediated disaggregation, and effects of the catecholamine on the refractory state of PGI2 dispersed cells. Dissociation of ADP aggregates by PGI2 was concentration and time dependent, caused complete disappearance of sensitive platelet clumps and restored platelet discoid form. The dispersed platelets were refractory to further stimulation by ADP, thrombin, arachidonate or the calcium ionophore, A23187. Measurement of cAMP revealed no change in control levels after aggregation by ADP, but a sharp increase during and after dissociation by PGI2. Epinephrine added to ADP aggregates before or after PGI2 blocked disaggregation, or stopped dissociation if already in progress, and caused a rapid fall in the high levels of cAMP stimulated by PGI2. Agents to which PGI2 dissociated platelets were refractory, including ADP, arachidonate and A23187 caused no lowering of elevated cAMP levels. Reduction of high levels of CAMP in PGI2 dispersed platelets by epinephrine did not result in reaggregation. However, epinephrine addition to refractory platelets restored in large measure their sensitivity to aggregation by arachidonate, thrombin, ADP and A23187. 相似文献

Prostacyclin (PGI2) produces an antiarrhythmic effect on aconitine induced arrhythmias in rats. The ED50 of PGI2 was 0.7 microgram/kg and the maximum antiarrhythmic effect 54 per cent. The equi-effective doses of PGE2 and PGF2alpha were higher (ED50 of PGF2alpha = 1.2 microgram/kg, ED50 of PGE2 = 2.7 microgram/kg). However, PGF2alpha and PGE2 had a maximum antiarrhythmic effect of 80 per cent in this model. 相似文献

Metabolism of prostacyclin, [9-3H]PGI2, was examined in the isolated perfused rabbit lung and the post-microsomal supernate of rabbit lung homogenate. Two major metabolites of [9-3H]PGI2 from the lung perfusate were separated by thin-layer chromatography and radiometric gas-chromatography. These two products were identified as 6 keto-PGF1α and 6,15 diketo-13,14 dihydro PGF1α by mass-spectrometry; they represented 65% and 14% of the total radioactivity. When [9-3H]PGI2 was incubated with the lung homogenate in the presence of either NAD+ or NADP+, more than 36% and 25%, respectively, was converted to the 6,15 diketo-13,14 dihydro metabolite. 相似文献

The rate constant for the hydrolysis of prostacyclin (PGI2) to 6-keto-PGF1alpha was measured by monitoring the UV spectral change, over a pH range 6 to 10 at 25 degrees C and the total ionic strength of 0.5 M. The first-order rate constant (kdegreesobs) extrapolated to zero buffer concentration follows an expression, kdegreesobs = kH+ (H+), where kH+ is a second-order rate constant for the specific acid catalyzed hydrolysis. The value of kH+ obtained (3.71 x 10(4) sec-1 M-1) Is estimated approximately 700-fold greater than a kH+ value expected from the hydrolysis of other vinyl ethers. Such an unusually high reactivity of PGI2 even for a vinyl ether is attributed to a possible ring strain release that would occur upon the rate controlling protonation of C5. A Br?nsted slope (alpha) of 0.71 was obtained for the acid (including H3O+) catalytic constants, from which a pH independent first-order rate constant for the spontaneous hydrolysis (catalyzed by H2O as a general acid) was estimated to be 1.3 x 10(-6) sec-1. An apparent activation energy (Ea) of 11.85 Kcal/mole was obtained for the hydrolysis at pH 7.48, from which a half-life of PGI2 at 4 degrees C was estimated to be approximately 14.5 min. when the total phosphate concentration is 0.165 M (cf. 3.5 min. at 25 degrees C). 相似文献

Using strips of rat pregnant uterus, treated with indomethacin to suppress spontaneous contractility, the oxytocic activity of prostacyclin was compared with other prostaglandins. A prostacyclin concentration of 32 ng/ml elicited uterine contractions in all experiments. In this respect prostacyclin was 80 times more active than 6-oxo-PGF1 alpha but less active than PGE2 or PGF2 alpha. Apart from a direct stimulant effect, prostacyclin also exhibited an indirect potentiating action. In threshold concentrations prostacyclin caused a 3-fold potentiation of threshold doses of oxytocin. A lesser 1.5-fold potentiation of PGE2 alpha was also observed. The implications of these findings in relation to prostacyclin playing a role in parturition are discussed. 相似文献

The effects of sex hormones on the synthesis of prostacyclin (PGI2) by vascular tissues 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The effects of estradiol and testosterone on prostacyclin (PGI2) release (measured as 6-keto-PGF1 alpha) by vascular tissues using rat aortic rings and cultured rabbit aortic smooth muscle cells (SMC) were investigated. Aortic SMC were prepared from either explants of atherosclerotic intima or those of normal media. Aortic rings obtained from male and female rats which had been treated with estradiol resulted in increased PGI2 synthesis. Furthermore, PGI2 synthesis by cultured medial SMC was significantly increased in the presence of estradiol (10(-7), 10(-9) M). An increased tendency in PGI2 synthesis was also observed in intimal SMC. On the other hand, aortic rings obtained from female rats treated with testosterone resulted in a significant decrease in PGI2 synthesis. However, aortic rings from testosterone-treated male rats and cultured medial and intimal SMC treated with testosterone (10(-6), 10(-8) M) for 48 hr did not show any significant changes in PGI2 synthesis. We also found greater PGI2 synthesis by intimal SMC compared with that by medial SMC. These results suggest that estradiol and testosterone may have opposite functions in the development of atherosclerosis, that is, estradiol for anti-atherosclerotic and testosterone for atherogenic, by modulating PGI2 synthesis by vascular tissues. 相似文献

Inhibitory effect of prostacyclin (PGI2) on neutropenia induced by intravenous injection of platelet-activating-factor (PAF) in the rabbit 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Intravenous injection into rabbits of 1-O-octadecyl-2-acetyl-sn-glyceryl-3-phosphorylcholine (synthetic Platelet-Activating Factor (PAF)) or PAF derived from rabbit basophils caused acute thrombocytopenia and neutropenia which was consequent to the formation of intravascular polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN) aggregates and to their sequestration in the microvasculature, primarily of the lung. Infusion of prostacyclin (PGI2; 10 ng/Kg/min to 50 ng/Kg/min) inhibited in a dose-dependent manner PAF-induced thrombocytopenia and neutropenia as well as the sequestration of PMN in the pulmonary capillary network. 相似文献

Prostacyclin (PGI2) stimulates platelet adenylate cyclase, elevates intracellular levels of cyclic adenosine monophosphate and blocks the response to aggregating agents. It is rapidly hydrolyzed (T 1–5 min) to 6-keto prostaglandin F1α at acid or neutral pH.As a result, platelets incubated with PGI2 will recover spontaneously and respond to aggregating agents within 15–60 min, depending on the initial PGI2 concentration. In the present study we have evaluated the influence of temperature and pH on the stability of PGI2 and its effects on platelet function. PGI2 in Tris buffer was stabilized at several pH levels and stored at 37°C, 23°C, and 4°C. Inhibitory influence on platelet function was lost rapidly at pH 7.2–7.4, lasted several hours at pH 7.8 and was retained indefinitely at pH 8 or above. PGI2 (2.8 hM) completely inhibited the response to arachidonic acid for 15 min. at pH 7.4, for at least 1 hour at pH 7.8 and showed no reversal of inhibition after 48 hours at pH 8. However, PGI2 inhibited samples at pH 8 completely recovered their sensitivity to arachidonic acid when the pH was reduced to 7.4. These findings indicate that the biological activity of PGI2, though labile at neutral pH, is stable at pH 8 and can inhibit cAMP mediated platelet functions for at least 48 hours. Because of its pH dependence, PGI2 may be a useful agent for prolonging the sensitivity of stored platelets. 相似文献

Effect of prostacyclin (PGI2) on platelet adhesion to rabbit arterial subendothelium. 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
The effect of prostacyclin on platelet aggregation and adhesion was investigated in everted pieces of rabbit abdominal aorta, from which the endothelium had previously been removed. Citrated human blood, to which different, concentrations of prostacyclin (0.1-100 ng/ml) were added, was perfused through the vessels, after which sections were examined and evaluated by light microscopy. Prostacyclin inhibited thrombus formation at concentrations greater than 0.1 ng/ml, whereas 20 ng/ml were required to reduce the amount of adhesion to the subendothelial surface. Thus prostacyclin prevents thrombus formation at much lower concentrations than are needed to inhibit platelet-vessel wall interaction. 相似文献

It is known that short term cell culture system offers a reliable and reproducible means for measuring placental PGI2 production in vitro, in which factors controlling its production and metabolism can be studied. The aim of the present investigation was to study the effect of glucose on generation of PGI2 by trophoblast obtained from early pregnancy in short term cell culture. Trophoblast was cultured using the method of Jogee et al and the concentration of 6-oxo-PGF1 alpha in culture supernatans was measured by a specific direct radioimmunoassay (New England Nuclear, USA). There was a significant decrease in 6-oxo-PGF1 alpha production by trophoblast cells when incubating with increased glucose concentrations (300 and 600 mg/dl) compared to controls (without glucose). These data show for the first time that high concentrations of glucose inhibit PGI2 production by cultured trophoblast cells obtained from early pregnancy. The implication of these findings for the mechanism of development of congenital anomalies in diabetic pregnant women is discussed. 相似文献

In vitro PGI2 synthesis by aortic strips obtained from thoracic aorta of rabbits fed a high cholesterol diet was examined and compared with that of control rabbits fed a normal diet. In this report, the amounts of PGI2 produced were shown as 6-keto-PGF1 alpha per microgram of aortic tissue DNA instead of per mg wet weight. We also investigated PGI2 synthesis by cultured smooth muscle cells (SMC) obtained from atherosclerotic intima. Basal PGI2 production by aortic strips from atherosclerotic rabbit aorta was significantly augmented compared with that of controls. Arachidonic acid (AA)-induced PGI2 production by atherosclerotic aorta was also significantly higher than that of controls. PGI2 producing capacities of intimal and medial layers, separated from atherosclerotic aorta, were examined and the intimal layer was found to elicit a significantly greater PGI2 production than the medial layer. Furthermore, cultured intimal SMC obtained from atherosclerotic rabbit aorta produced a greater amount of PGI2 than medial SMC from normal rabbit aorta at various cultured conditions. These results suggest that the possibility of enhanced PGI2 production by atherosclerotic aorta may well be considered as a defence mechanism of the vessel wall against damaging stimuli. 相似文献
