We previously reported that thromboxane (TX)A2 synthesis and receptor blockade prevented recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO)-induced hypertension in chronic renal failure rats. The present study was designed to investigate the effect of a cyclooxygenase inhibitor, acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), on blood pressure, renal function, and the concentration of eicosano?ds and endothelin-1 (ET-1) in vascular and renal tissues of rhEPO-treated or rhEPO-untreated uremic rats. Renal failure was induced by a 2-stage 5/6 renal mass ablation. Rats were divided into 4 groups: vehicle, rhEPO (100 U/kg, s.c., 3 times per week), ASA (100 mg x kg(-1) x day(-1), and rhEPO + ASA; all animals were administered drugs for 3 weeks. The TXA2- and prostacyclin (PGI2)-stable metabolites (TXB2 and 6-keto-PGF1alpha, respectively), as well as ET-1, were measured in renal cortex and either the thoracic aorta or mesenteric arterial bed. The uremic rats developed anemia, uremia, and hypertension. They also exhibited a significant increase in vascular and renal TXB2 (p < 0.01) and 6-keto-PGF1alpha (p < 0.01) concentrations. rhEPO therapy corrected the anemia but aggravated hypertension (p < 0.05). TXB2 and ET-1 tissue levels further increased (p < 0.05) whereas 6-keto-PGF1alpha was unchanged in rhEPO-treated rats compared with uremic rats receiving the vehicle. ASA therapy did not prevent the increase in systolic blood pressure nor the progression of renal disease in rhEPO-treated or rhEPO-untreated uremic rats, but suppressed both TXB2 and 6-keto-PGF1alpha tissue concentrations (p < 0.05). ASA had no effect on vascular and renal ET-1 levels. Cyclooxygenase inhibition had no effect on rhEPO-induced hypertension owing, in part, to simultaneous inhibition of both TXA2 and its vasodilatory counterpart PGI2 synthesis, whereas the vascular ET-1 overproduction was maintained. These results stress the importance of preserving PGI2 production when treating rhEPO-induced hypertension under uremic conditions. 相似文献

There is growing evidence that blood vessels generate TXA2 in addition to PGI2. We examined effluents from continuously perfused human umbilical vein and supernatants from umbilical vein rings for TXB2 and 6-keto-PGF1 alpha measurements (stable metabolites of TXA2 and PGI2, respectively). TXB2 and 6-keto-PGF1 alpha were identified in all samples. 6-keto-PGF1 alpha to TXB2 ratio was higher in intact vein effluents than in the venous ring supernatants (112:1 and 28:1, respectively, P less than 0.01). Arachidonate stimulation increased 6-keto-PGF1 alpha and TXB2 levels similarly in the intact vein effluent. In contrast, stimulation of the venous rings resulted in a relatively larger increase in TXB2 than in 6-keto-PGF1 alpha. This caused 6-keto-PGF1 alpha to TXB2 ratio to decline (p less than 0.01). The identity of TXB2 was confirmed in several different ways. These data suggest that 1) human umbilical veins produce TXA2 in addition to PGI2, 2) TXA2 release is more by venous rings than by the intact vein probably reflecting contribution from non-endothelial layers, and 3) arachidonate stimulation causes relatively greater release of TXA2 than of PGI2 from the venous rings, whereas release of PGI2 and TXA2 is similar from the intact vein. 相似文献

For evaluating the role of prostacyclin (PGI2) and thromboxane A2 (TXA2) in the metabolism of salt and water, the metabolic products of PGI2 and TXA2 (6-keto-PGF1 alpha and TXB2 respectively) were measured by radioimmunoassay in salt-loaded rabbits. 36 normal rabbits were randomly divided into 3 groups: 1. normal control group; 2. 3h salt-loading group (3 h group); 3. 24 h salt-loading group (24 h group). Both the 3 h and 24 h groups were given 0.9% NaCl solution by subcutaneous injection to the hind legs. The kidneys were dissected into 4 slices: outer cortex, inner cortex, outer medulla and inner medulla. The plasma 6-keto-PGF1 alpha in the 3 h group was increased from the control value of 46.61 +/- 19.04 pg/ml to 111.63 +/- 58.36 pg/ml (P less than 0.01). All of the dissected renal slices also showed significant increase of 6-keto-PGF1 alpha synthesis in both the 3 h and the 24 h groups (P less than 0.001 vs. normal). The urinary sodium concentrations have a good correlation with 6-keto-PGF1 alpha in plasma or in kidney tissues. Plasma TXB2 in normal group was 499.27 +/- 197.86 pg/ml, but no significant change was found in the 3h group. However, in the 24 h group it decreased significantly to 218.76 +/- 114.54 pg/ml (P less than 0.05 vs. normal group). Although the TXB2 increment was significant only in inner medulla, all other dissected renal slices showed some increase of TXB2 synthesis too. It is concluded that salt-loading can cause increase of PGI1 and TXA2 synthesis in normal renal tissues.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Acute renal failure (ARF) induced with large doses of Gentamicin (GM) (an aminoglycoside) was associated with increased urinary TXB (TXA) excretion which provoked a decrease of the ratios of urinary PGE2/TXB2 and 6-keto-PGF1 alpha (PGI2)/TXB2 excretions. Furthermore, as indicated by light microscopy most of the epithelial cells lining the proximal tubules show obvious lesions varying from swelling of their cytoplasm to complete necrosis. Either the inhibitor, OKY-O46, of TXA-synthetase, or volume expansion (VE) with isotonic saline (IS) of the experimental animals diminished urinary TXB excretion which provoked 1) augmentation of the ratios of urinary PGE/TXB and 6-keto-PGF1 alpha/TXB excretions, 2) elevation of creatinine clearance (Ccr) and 3) diminution of proteinuria (PU). This protection against ARF-by OKY-O46 and VE can a can be seen in microscopic sections where necrosis of proximal tubules is almost absent. Only a few proximal tubules show swelling of their epithelial cells and some focal areas of tubule necrosis. We suggest that the metabolites of arachidonic acid (AA), TXA2 a (potent vasoconstrictor agent) and prostaglandins (PGE2 and PGI2), (potent vasodilator factors), play an important role in the development (TXA2) or in the prevention (PGs) of ARF induced by this antibiotic. 相似文献

It has been reported that the prostaglandin (PG) precursor, arachidonic acid, produces divergent hemodynamic responses in the feline pulmonary vascular bed. However, the pattern of arachidonic acid products formed in the lung of this species is unknown. In order to determine the type and activity of terminal enzymes in the lung, prostaglandin biosynthesis by microsomes from cat lung was studied using the prostaglandin endoperoxide, PGH2, as a substrate. The major products of incubations of PGH2 with microsomes were thromboxane (TX) B2 (the major metabolite of TXA2), 6-keto-PGF1 alpha (the breakdown product of PGI2) and 12L-hydroxy-5,8,10-heptadecatrienoic acid (HHT). Formation of TXB2 was markedly reduced by imidazole. Tranylcypromine decreased the formation of TXB2 and HHT and inhibited the formation of 6-keto-PGF1 alpha. At low PGH2 concentrations, equal production of TXB2 and 6-keto-PGF1 alpha was observed. However, as PGH2 concentration increased, 6-keto-PGF1 alpha production approached early saturation while TXB2 production increased in a linear fashion. These results suggest that enzymatic formation of TXA2 and PGI2 is a function of substrate availability in the lung. These findings provide a possible explanation for the divergent hemodynamic responses to arachidonic acid infusions at high and low concentrations in the feline pulmonary vascular bed. 相似文献

Furosemide increases the synthesis of two major renal eicosanoids, prostacyclin (PGI2) and thromboxane A2 (TXA2), by stimulating the release of arachidonic acid which in turn is metabolized to PGG2/PGH2, then to PGI2 and TXA2. PGI2 may mediate, in part, the early increment in plasma renin activity (PRA) after furosemide. We hypothesized that thromboxane synthetase inhibition should direct prostaglandin endoperoxide metabolism toward PGI2, thereby enhancing the effects of furosemide on renin release. Furosemide (2.0 mg . kg-1 i.v.) was injected into Sprague-Dawley rats pretreated either with vehicle or with U-63,557A (a thromboxane synthetase inhibitor, 2 mg/kg-1 followed by 2 mg/kg-1 X hr-1). Urinary 6ketoPGF1 alpha and thromboxane B2 (TXB2), reflecting renal synthesis of PGI2 and TXA2, as well as PRA and serum TXB2, were measured. Serum TXB2 was reduced by 96% after U-63,557A. U-63,557A did not affect the basal PRA. Furosemide increased PRA in both vehicle and U63,557A treated rats. However, the PRA-increment at 10, 20 and 40 min following furosemide administration was greater in U-63,557A-treated rats than in vehicle-treated rats and urine 6ketoPGF1 alpha excretion rates were increased. These effects of thromboxane synthesis inhibition are consistent with a redirection of renal PG synthesis toward PGI2 and further suggest that such redirection can be physiologically relevant. 相似文献

We studied the effects of two structurally unrelated inhibitors of the fatty acid cyclooxygenase and of alpha and beta adrenergic blockade on the elevated plasma levels of 13,14-dihydro-15-keto-prostaglandin (PG)E2, 6-keto-PGF1 alpha and thromboxane (TX)B2, the stable derivatives of PGE2, PGI2 (prostacyclin) and TXA2, respectively, in rats with streptozotocin-induced diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). Meclofenamic acid and indomethacin each produced a significant decrease in the elevated plasma levels of 13,14-dihydro-15-keto-PGE2, 6-keto-PGF1 alpha and TXB2. Phentolamine significantly reduced the plasma level of TXB2 but had no effect on the elevated circulating levels of glucose, free fatty acids, total ketones, 13,14-dihydro-15-keto-PGE2 or 6-keto-PGF1 alpha. Propranolol significantly reduced the elevated circulating levels of glucose, free fatty acids and total ketones but had no effect on the levels of the three prostaglandin derivatives. The ability of meclofenamic acid and indomethacin to reduce the plasma levels of 13,14-dihydro-15-keto-PGE2, 6-keto-PGF1 alpha and TXB2 confirms that the plasma levels of these three derivatives are elevated in rats with DKA. Since abnormalities in the production of PGI2 and perhaps other cyclooxygenase derivatives may contribute to the pathogenesis of certain important hemodynamic and gastrointestinal features of DKA, cyclooxygenase inhibitors may play a role in the management of selected patients with this disorder. Alpha adrenergic activity is essential for the maintenance of the elevated plasma TXB2 level in rats with DKA. The fall in the plasma TXB2 level during alpha adrenergic blockade appears to reflect inhibition of platelet aggregation and platelet TXA2 production, but other sources of the elevated plasma TXB2 level in DKA are not excluded. Beta adrenergic activity contributes to the maintenance of elevated circulating levels of glucose, free fatty acids and total ketones in experimental DKA but not to the elevated plasma levels of the prostaglandin derivatives. 相似文献

Prostacyclin and thromboxane formation in human umbilical arteries following stimulation with vasoactive autacoids 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The formation of prostacyclin (PGI2) and thromboxane A2 (TXA2) (measured as the stable metabolites 6-keto-PGF1 alpha and TXB2) during stimulation with vasoactive autacoids was registered in human umbilical arteries perfused in vitro. Responses were registered within 3-4 minutes after addition of the substances. Both angiotensin I and II were found to increase the formation of PGI2 while depressing that of TXA2. Serotonin increased the formation of TXA2 but not that of PGI2. Both PGE2 and PGF2 alpha stimulated the PGI2 formation. The TXA2 mimetic U46619, increased PGI2 production, whereas PGI2 slightly increased the formation of TXA2. All responses were found to be completely inhibited by indomethacin. 相似文献

The aim of the study was to determine the prostacyclin (PGI2) and thromboxane A2 (TXA2) synthetase activities of myocardial tissue and their variation during ischemia and reperfusion. Regional ischemia was induced by 10 min occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery in isolated Langendorff rabbit hearts. Biosynthesis of PGI2 and TXA2 were carried out by using arachidonic acid as substrate and left ventricle microsomes (LVM) from ischemic and non-ischemic areas as sources of PGI2 and TXA2 synthetase. 6-keto-PGF1 alpha and TXB2, stable metabolites of PGI2 and TXA2 respectively, were determined by radioimmunoassay. Experiments carried out under the adopted conditions showed that LVM were able to synthetise PGI2 as well as TXA2 from arachidonic acid. On the other hand, ischemia depressed both PGI2 and TXA2 synthetase activities of cardiac tissue: the depression was more pronounced on TXA2 synthetase than on PGI2 synthetase with no significant difference between ischemic and non-ischemic regions. Moreover, ischemia increased the ratio 6-keto-PGF1 alpha/TXB2 indicating therefore that it can facilitate the formation of PGI2. The post ischemic reperfusion of the heart counteracted the decrease in PGI2 synthetase induced by ischemia which returned to the normal level: reperfusion also slightly reversed the decrease in TXA2 the decrease in TXA2 synthetase. However, the diminution in TXA2 synthetase of non-ischemic myocardium was attenuated but it remained lower than the normal level. These results suggested that the whole left ventricle is affected by regional ischemia. Furthermore it appears that myocardial TXA2 synthetase is more vulnerable than PGI2 synthetase to a lack of oxygen and nutrients. 相似文献

Metabolism of arachidonic acid (AA) was studied in perfused lungs and kidneys of normal and atherosclerotic rabbits by determination of PGE2, PGF2 alpha and the stable metabolites of PGI2 (6-keto-PGF1 alpha) and TXA2 (TXB2). PGI2 was the main AA metabolite formed by normal lungs and kidneys. Atherosclerosis reduced the formation of PGI2 by about 50 % in both organs. TXA2 formation was similarily decreased in lungs. In kidneys, the decrease in PGI2 formation was accompanied by an increase in PGE2 formation. 相似文献

Cyclosporine (CsA) (45 mg/kg/day for 7 days) administration in female Wistar rats induced significant decrease in creatinine clearance (Ccr) and body weight loss (BWL). Urine volume (V) was not altered and proteinuria (PU) not provoked. These changes were associated with increased urinary endothelin 1 (ET-1) and thromboxane B(2)(TXB(2)) concentrations, and decreased urinary ratios of prostaglandin (6ketoPGF(1 alpha)and PGE(2)) to TXB(2)excretions.Nifedipine (NFD) (0.1 mg/kg/day for 7 days), a calcium channel blocker, administrated in addition to CsA, to another group of animals, significantly augmented Ccr and urine V but did not prevent BWL in comparison to CsA-only treated rats. The urinary ET-1 and TXB(2)concentrations displayed significant and non-significant decrease respectively, while the urinary excretion ratios of 6ketoPGF(1 alpha)/TXB(2)and PGE(2)/TXB(2)were significantly enhanced.These observations indicate that the partial protection of NFD in CsA-induced nephrotoxicity could be attributed to augmented urinary prostanoid ratios of renal vasodilators (6ketoPGF(1 alpha)and PGE(2)) to vasoconstrictor (TXB(2)) excretions, and also to reduced release of rather renal origin ET-1, the most potent mamalian vasoconstrictor peptide known to date. In a previous study, we found that NFD only slightly prevented structural renal damage, induced by CsA. So, the NFD protection refers only to functional toxicity and not to structural damage, mediated at least in part by the preservation of relatively high renal TXB(2)levels. However, other nephrotoxic factors and additional mechanisms could also be implicated in this CsA-induced syndrome. 相似文献

Effects of 10 ppm nitrogen dioxide (NO2) exposure on the contents of prostaglandins (PGs) and thromboxane (TX) B2 in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) of rats were studied. In the BAL of normal rats, the amounts of PGs and TXB2 in the whole lavage were 6-keto-PGF1 alpha (38.0 +/- 6.4 ng) greater than TXB2 (11.8 +/- 4.0 ng) greater than PGF2 alpha (5.7 +/- 1.6 ng) much greater than PGE (0.5 +/- 0.3 ng). Rats were exposed to NO2 for 1,3,5,7 and 14 days. The NO2 exposure decreased in the level of 6-keto-PGF1 alpha by about 35% throughout the exposure. The level of TXB2 was higher in the day 5 exposure group (155%). The contents of PGF2 alpha and PGE first, decreased and then transiently increased on days 3 and 5. PG 15-hydroxy-dehydrogenase activity of lung homogenate decreased correspondingly on day 3 and 5. Then the contents PGF2 alpha and PGE decreased on day 7 and 14. 6-keto-PGF1 alpha and TXB2 are stable metabolites of PGI2, a strong bronchorelaxant and TXA2, a strong bronchoconstrictor respectively. Therefore the results suggested that the decrease in 6-keto-PGF1 alpha, a major prostanoid in the BAL and the increase in TXB2 may correlate with broncho constriction by NO2 exposure. 相似文献

Effects of 3,4-dihydroxyacetophenone on the biosynthesis of TXA2 and PGI2 in human placental villus and umbilical artery segments in vitro 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
In this paper, the effects of 3,4-dihydroxyacetophenone, DHAP (Qingxintong), an active constituent of traditional Chinese medicine, on the biosynthesis of TXA2 and PGI2 in human placental villi and umbilical artery segments of normal term pregnancy in vitro were studied by a perifusion technique. The collected fractions were assayed by radioimmunoassay for TXB2 and 6-keto-PGF1 alpha. The results showed that DHAP inhibited TXA2 and PGI2 production by umbilical artery segments in a dose dependent fashion and in both tissues TXA2 was more sensitive to inhibition than was 6-keto-PGF1 alpha. According to these data it is suggested that DHAP might be useful in treatment of pathologic pregnancies with chronic defective utero-placental circulation such as PIH and IUGR to improve this circulation. 相似文献

The low incidence of myocardial infarction in Greenland Eskimos has been related to their traditional marine diet rich in eicosapentaenoic acid. However, whether dietary eicosapentaenoic acid is indeed transformed in man to antiaggregatory PGI3 and weakly proaggregatory TXA3 has not been clarified. In our studies we ingested either cod liver oil or mackerel both rich in eicosapentaenoic acid. Formation of TXB3, the hydrolysis product of TXA3, in platelet-rich plasma stimulated ex vivo with collagen was traced by capillary GC/EIMS. Via external standard, TXB3 formation in platelets was estimated to be 5-15% of TXB2 formation. From urine we extracted dinor metabolites of PGI according to a selective method. We utilized delta 17-2,3-dinor-6-keto-PGF1 alpha (PGI3-M) as an index of total body production of PGI3 in analogy to 2,3-dinor-6-keto-PGF1 alpha (PGI2-M), the major urinary metabolite of PGI2. We separated PGI2-M and PGI3-M as the Me, MO, Me3Si derivatives by capillary gas chromatography and identified PGI3-M by EI mass spectrometry. Excretion of PGI3-M, which was not detectable under control conditions, was 83 +/- 25 ng/24 h (SD) after ingestion of cod liver oil and 134 +/- 38 ng/24 h after mackerel ingestion, while excretion of PGI2-M was 162 +/- 52 ng/24 h and 236 +/- 32 ng/24 h, respectively. Our findings with diets rich in EPA show that it is possible in man to change in vivo the spectrum of biologically active prostanoids by nutritional means and alter it in a favourable direction. 相似文献

Plasma levels of thromboxane B2 (TXB2) and 6-keto-prostaglandin F1 alpha (6-keto-PGF1 alpha), stable metabolites of two prostanoids with opposing biological effects, TXA2 and prostacyclin, were measured by radioimmunoassay in normal pregnancy (controls) and pregnancy complicated by hypertension (PIH) from 32 to 36 (Period 1; P1) and from 36 to 40 (Period 2; P2) weeks of gestation. The plasma concentration of each compound in the control subjects was 265.6 +/- 58.4 (TXB2), 132.4 +/- 16.5 (6-keto-PGF1 alpha) for P1 (n = 10) and 142.6 +/- 11.8 (TXB2), 68.5 +/- 5.2 (6-keto-PGF1 alpha) for P2 (n = 10) respectively (pg/ml, mean +/- s.e). In the patients with PIH, TXB2 concentrations increased moderately for P1 (419.2 +/- 21.2; n = 7) and significantly (p less than 0.005) for P2 (452.8 +/- 31.0; n = 7) respectively (pg/ml, mean +/- s.e), while the plasma levels of 6-keto-PGF1 alpha revealed a slight to moderate decrease both for P1 (84.5 +/- 4.0; n = 7) and P2 (59.7 +/- 8.1; n = 7) respectively (pg/ml, mean +/- s.e). The physiological balance of TXB2 to 6-keto-PGF1 alpha was significantly greater (p less than 0.005) in the patients with PIH, where the TXB2/6-keto-PGF1 alpha ratio was 5.2 +/- 0.7 for P1 and 9.4 +/- 2.3 for P2 respectively (mean +/- s.e) compared with that of the controls, where it was 2.4 +/- 0.4 for P1 and 2.0 +/- 0.2 for P2 respectively (mean +/- s.e).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Severe uterine and placental disturbances have been described in diabetes pathology. The relative severity of these changes appears to correlate with high glucose levels in the plasma and incubating environment. In order to characterize changes in eicosanoid production we compared uterine and placental arachidonic acid conversion from control and non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) rats on day 21 of pregnancy, into different prostanoids, namely PGE2, PGF22alpha, TXB2 (indicating the production of TXA2) and 6-keto-PGF1 (indicating the generation of PGI2). PGE2, PGF2alpha and TXB2 production was higher and 6-keto-PGF1alpha was similar in diabetic compared to control uteri. PLA2 activity was found diminished in the NIDDM uteri in comparison to control. A role for PLA2 diminution as a protective mechanism to avoid prostaglandin overproduction in uterine tissue from NIDDM rats is discussed. Placental tissues showed an increment in TXB2 generation and a decrease in 6-keto PGF1alpha level in diabetic rats when compared to control animals. Moreover, when control uterine tissue was incubated in the presence of elevated glucose concentrations (22 mM), similar generation of 6-keto PGF1alpha and elevated production of PGE2, PGF2alpha and TXB2 were found when compared to those incubated with glucose 11 mM. Placental TXB2 production was higher and 6-keto PGF1alpha was lower when control tissues were incubated in the presence of high glucose concentrations. However, high glucose was unable to modify uterine or placental prostanoid production in diabetic rats. We conclude that elevated glucose levels induced an abnormal prostanoid profile in control uteri and placenta, similar to those observed in non-insulin-dependent diabetic tissues. 相似文献

Renal production of thromboxane and prostaglandins in a rat model of type 2 diabetes 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

In an investigation of the involvement of prostanoids in the pathogenesis of nephropathy in type 2 diabetes, we repeatedly measured the urinary excretion of prostanoids in both diabetic and healthy rats as the rats aged. Seven rats of the Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty strain were used as rats with a model of type 2 diabetes and seven rats of the Long-Evans Tokushima Otsuka strain were used as rats without diabetes. Thromboxane (TX) B2 and 6-keto-prostaglandin (PG) F1alpha, the amounts of which reflect renal production of TXA2 and PGI2, respectively, and PGE2 in urine collected in metabolic cages were assayed when rats were 14, 30, 46, and 54 weeks old. Plasma glucose and urinary protein excretion also were measured periodically. The mean plasma glucose concentration of the diabetic rats was higher than that of the healthy rats throughout the study. At 30 weeks and later, urinary protein excretion by the diabetic rats was greater than that of the healthy rats, and it increased with age. Urinary excretion of TXB2 by the diabetic rats was higher than that of the healthy rats at 14 weeks (52.4+/-23.5 vs. 27.0+/-2.6 ng/day; mean +/- SD, P = .015) and the difference continued to the end of the experiment. Urinary excretion of 6-keto-PGF1alpha by the diabetic rats was high at 14 weeks (52.3+/-12.8 vs. 26.9+/-4.6 ng/day; mean +/- SD, P<.001) but decreased with age and was the same as that of the healthy rats at 54 weeks. The urinary excretion of PGE2 by the two groups of rats was not significantly different. These results suggest that altered renal production of TXA2 and PGI2 is involved in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy in rats with type 2 diabetes. 相似文献

Patients with diabetes mellitus have an increased susceptibility to heart disease. The exact mechanism for this phenomenon is unclear. Abnormalities in prostaglandin (PG) production have been suggested as a possible cause. In this connection, we examined the PG synthetic capacity of cardiac microsomes from spontaneously diabetic rats. Cardiac microsomes from diabetic and control rats produced varying amounts of 6-keto-PGF1 alpha (stable degradation product of PGI2), PGE2, PGD2, PGF2 alpha, and TXB2 (stable breakdown product of TXA2). In both instances the production of 6-keto-PGF1 alpha predominated, however, microsomes from diabetic rats showed markedly greater conversion of arachidonic acid to all the PG products, especially 6-keto-PGF1 alpha. When PGF2 alpha metabolism was detected between diabetic and control heart preparations. These results show an enhanced cyclooxygenase activity in diabetic rat hearts without any change in prostaglandin dehydrogenase activity. Such a change may promote some of the cardiac alterations seen in diabetic mellitus. 相似文献

The release of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and 6-ketoprostaglandin F1 alpha (6-keto-PGF1 alpha), the stable metabolite of prostacyclin (PGI2), by the perfused mesenteric arteries of renal and spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) have been measured. Unstimulated mesenteric arteries from two-kidney one-clip hypertensive rats (2K-1C) released 1.6 times as much PGE2 and 2.7 times as much 6-keto-PGF1 alpha as those of control rats. The release of PGE2 by mesenteric arteries from one-kidney one-clip hypertensive rats (1K-1C) was not significantly different from that of uninephrectomized normotensive rats, but the release of 6-keto-PGF1 alpha was 3.5 times higher in the former than in the latter. Norepinephrine (NE) induced a dose-related increase in perfusion pressure, in PGE2, and 6-keto-PGF1 alpha release in all four groups. However, its effect on the release of PGE2 was more pronounced in 2K-1C than in sham-operated rats. There was no difference between 1K-1C and the uninephrectomized group. The effect of NE on the release of 6-keto-PGF1 alpha was significantly higher for both renal hypertensive groups. These results indicate that the release of PGE2 is more dependent on the loss of renal mass than on hypertension, while the reverse applies to the release of 6-keto-PGF1 alpha. Unstimulated mesenteric arteries from SHR released less PGE2 and less 6-keto-PGF1 alpha than those of Wistar-Kyoto normotensive rats (WKY), but the release was not significantly different from Wistar rats. Under NE stimulation, WKY mesenteric arteries showed almost no increase in release of PGs. Compared with those of Wistar rats, SHR mesenteric arteries showed a greater pressor response to NE, a lower PGE2 release, and the same release of 6-keto-PGF1 alpha. These findings reveal the difficulty of selecting an appropriate control group in studies involving SHR.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Diabetic subjects tend to develop microvascular complications believed to be due to platelet hyperaggregability. This increased platelet sensitivity is though to be the result of an imbalance of PGI2 and TXA2 production in diabetes. This study sought to determine whether megavitamin E supplementation could restore PGI2/TXA2 balance in streptozotocin-diabetic rats. Endogenous release of PGI2 by isolated aorta, determined via radioimmunoassay of its stable metabolite, 6-keto-PGF1 alpha, was significantly greater (P less than 0.05) in rats receiving 100x the normal vitamin E requirement than in untreated diabetic rats. PGI2 synthesis was negatively correlated with plasma glucose levels (r = -0.87, P less than 0.05) in non-fasted rats at sacrifice. Vitamin E supplementation, at both the 10x and the 100x level, significantly depressed (P less than 0.05) thrombin-stimulated synthesis of TXA2 in washed platelet. PGI2 and TXA2 production were expressed as a ratio. Megavitamin E therapy appears to increase this ratio over that seen in the diabetic animal. The data suggest that vitamin E, at high levels, exerts an ameliorating influence of the PGI2/TXA2 imbalance of diabetes. 相似文献
