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

Efficient RIA procedures are required for determination of prostaglandins (PGF(2alpha), PGE(2), PGI(2) and their metabolites) in bovine blood plasma to elucidate their significance in reproductive endocrinology. A new rapid efficient prepurification was developed using commercial octadecyl silicagel cartridges. Prepurification is especially necessary for the determination of 13,14-dihydro-15-keto-PGE(2) (PGEM). After prepurification, PGEM was first converted into the more stable 13,14-dihydro-15-keto-PGA(2) (PGAM) and measured in a RIA-system for PGAM. For PGF(2alpha), 13,14-dihydro-15-keto-PGF(2alpha) (PGFM), PGE(2) and 6-keto-PGF(1alpha) direct tests using 50 mul plasma per tube were elaborated. The validity of the tests was monitored by high performance liquid chromatography radioimmunoassay (HPLC RIA ). Infusion studies using PGF(2alpha) and PGE(2) showed that about 10% of these hormones remained unmetabolized after the first passage through the lungs. The biological half life of the metabolites PGFM and PGEM in bovines was estimated to be 4 min. Thus, PGFM and PGEM measurements in the peripheral circulation reflect even short-term secretory changes of PGF(2alpha) and PGE(2). During the infusion of PGF(2alpha) the levels of progesterone decreased but were not affected by PGE(2). Both prostaglandins caused increased oxytocin secretion. In the cow peripartum first PGEM elevations were measured 5 to 8 d ante partum, whereas PGFM increased 1 to 2 d ante partum. Then both prostaglandins increased simultaneously until parturition. In the postpartal phase PGFM was higher than PGEM, and both prostaglandins remained elevated for several days. Prostacyclin levels remained unchanged during the peripartal period. 相似文献

The output of prostaglandins I2, E2, F2 alpha and 13,14-dihydro-15-keto-PGF2 alpha (PGFM) from third passage day 20 rat fetal fibroblasts and type II alveolar pneumonocytes was studied. In 2 h incubations, the output levels for each cell type were: PGI2 greater than PGE2 much greater than PGF2 alpha = PGFM when cells were incubated with Ca2+ ionophore A23187 (10 microM) or arachidonic acid (1 microgram/ml). 相似文献

Effects of exogenous prostanoids on the proliferation of osteoblast-like cells in vitro 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The effects of several prostaglandins on the proliferation of secondary cultures of osteoblast-like cells, as measured by the incorporation of [3H]-thymidine into DNA and total DNA content of the cultures, were studied. PGE2 in the concentration range of 10(-8) to 10(-5) M caused a direct, dose-related stimulation of proliferation, while PGF2 alpha and PGD2 were less effective. PGA2 and 6-keto-PGF1 alpha were inactive in the osteoblasts in concentrations of 10(-7) to 10(-6) M. A similar stimulation profile was observed for the induction of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC, L-ornithine decarboxy-lyase, EC 4.1.1.17): the order of potency of the different prostaglandins in the induction of the ODC activity was PGE2 greater than PGF2 alpha = PGD2; again, PGA2 and 6-keto-PGF1 alpha were without effect in concentrations up to 10(-6) M. These results show that the primary prostaglandins, in order of potency PGE2 greater than PGF2 alpha = PGD2, can have a direct, stimulatory effect on the proliferation of osteoblasts, which is closely related to the induction of ODC activity. 相似文献

Uteroplacental production of eicosanoids in ovine pregnancy 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Dramatic cardiovascular alterations occur during normal ovine pregnancy which may be associated with increased prostaglandin production, especially of uteroplacental origin. To study this, we examined (Exp 1) the relationships between cardiovascular alterations, e.g., the rise in uterine blood flow and fall in systemic vascular resistance, and arterial concentrations of prostaglandin metabolites (PGEM, PGFM and 6-keto-PGF1 alpha) in nonpregnant (n = 4) and pregnant (n = 8) ewes. To determine the potential utero-placental contribution of these eicosanoids in pregnancy, we also studied (Exp 2) the relationship between uterine blood flow and the uterine venous-arterial concentration differences of PGE2, PGF2 alpha, PGFM, 6-keto-PGF1 alpha, and TxB2 in twelve additional late pregnant ewes. Pregnancy was associated with a 37-fold increase in uterine blood flow and a proportionate (27-fold) fall in uterine vascular resistance (p less than 0.01). Arterial concentrations of PGEM were similar in nonpregnant and pregnant ewes (316 +/- 19 and 245 +/- 38 pg/ml), while levels of PGFM and PGI2 metabolite 6-keto-PGF1 alpha were elevated 23-fold (31 +/- 14 to 708 +/- 244 pg/ml) and 14-fold (12 +/- 4 to 163 +/- 78 pg/ml), respectively (p less than 0.01). Higher uterine venous versus uterine arterial concentrations were observed for PGE2 (397 +/- 36 and 293 +/- 22 pg/ml) and 6-keto-PGF1 alpha (269 +/- 32 and 204 +/- 32 pg/ml), p less than 0.05, but not PGF2 alpha or TxB2. Although PGFM concentrations appeared to be greater in uterine venous (1197 +/- 225 pg/ml) as compared to uterine arterial (738 +/- 150 pg/ml) plasma, this did not reach significance (0.05 less than p less than 0.1). In normal ovine pregnancy arterial levels of PGI2 are increased, which may in part reflect increased uteroplacental production. Moreover the gravid ovine uterus also appears to produce PGE2 and metabolize PGF2 alpha. 相似文献

Blastocysts from several species synthesize prostaglandins in vitro, but the exact functions of the prostaglandins are unknown. The purpose of this study was to determine if indomethacin, an inhibitor of prostaglandin synthesis, would inhibit the uptake of 22sodium ([22Na]) by ovine trophoblastic tissue. To determine the concentration of indomethacin that would inhibit the synthesis of PGF2 alpha and 13,14-dihydro-15-keto-PGF2 alpha (PGFM) by blastocysts, blastocysts were collected from ewes 16 days after mating, sliced into pieces approximately 2 mm in length and incubated for 48 h at 37 degrees C in 2 ml of medium containing either 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.8 or 1.6 mM of indomethacin. Concentrations of indomethacin greater than or equal to 0.2 mM reduced (P less than .01) trophoblastic release (ng/micrograms DNA) of PGF2 alpha from 205 +/- 71.2 to less than or equal to 3.3 +/- 0.2, reduced PGFM from 0.7 +/- 0.1 to less than or equal to 0.17 +/- 0.01, and inhibited formation of trophoblastic vesicles. In a second experiment, blastocysts were recovered from ewes 16 days after mating and pieces of trophoblast were incubated with [22Na] and either 0 or 0.4 mM of indomethacin. Indomethacin reduced the uptake of [22Na], which is an indirect measure of the transport of water across epithelia, from 3680 +/- 1118 to 934 +/- 248 cpm/micrograms DNA (P less than .03) and prevented formation of trophoblastic vesicles. Prostaglandins produced by ovine blastocysts might be involved in controlling uptake of water, which is essential for expansion of blastocysts. 相似文献

Prostaglandin (PG) synthesis and degradation were examined in different regions (epithelial versus non-epithelial structures) of the rat distal colon by both HPLC analysis of [14C] arachidonate (AA) metabolites and by specific radioimmunoassays. Intact isolated colonic epithelial cells synthesized mainly PGF2 alpha and TXA2, as monitored from the formation of its stable degradation product TXB2 (PGF2 alpha greater than TXB2 greater than 6-keto-PGF1 alpha, the stable degradation product of PGI2 = PGD2 = PGE2 = 13,14-dihydro-15-keto-PGF2 alpha). The profile of PG products of isolated surface epithelial cells was identical to that of proliferative epithelial cells. However, generation of PGs by surface epithelium was 2 to 3-fold higher than by proliferative cells both basally and in the presence of a maximal stimulating concentration (0.1 mM) of AA. The latter implied a greater synthetic capacity of surface epithelium, rather than differences due to endogenous AA availability. The major sites of PG synthesis in colon clearly resided in submucosal structures; the residual colon devoid of epithelial cells accounted for at least 99% of the total PGs produced by intact distal colon. The profile of AA metabolites formed by submucosal structures also differed markedly from that of the epithelium. The dominant submucosal product was PGE2. PGE2 and its degradation product 13,14-dihydro-15-keto-PGE2 accounted for 63% of the PG products formed by submucosal structures (PGE2 much greater than PGD2 greater than 13,14-dihydro-15-keto-PGE2 greater than PGF2 alpha = TXB2 = 6-keto-PGF1 alpha greater than 13,14-dihydro-15-keto-PGF2 alpha). By contrast, epithelial cells, and particularly surface epithelium, contributed disproportionately to the PG degradative capacity of colon, as assessed from the metabolism of either PGE2 or PGF2 alpha. When expressed as a percentage, epithelial cells accounted for 71% of total colonic PGE2 degradative capacity but only 23% of total colonic protein. Approximately 15% of [3H] PGE2 added to the serosal side of everted colonic loops crossed to the mucosal side intact. Thus, at least a portion of the PGE2 formed in the submucosa reaches, and thereby can potentially influence functions of the epithelium. 相似文献

The objective of this study was to characterize endometrial secretion (in vitro) of prostaglandin F (PGF), 15-keto-13,14-dihydro-prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGFM), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), and 6-keto-prostaglandin F1 alpha (6-keto-PGF1 alpha) on Day 5 following the first postpartum estrus of cows anticipated to have a short compared to a normal estrous cycle. Twenty-seven beef cows were randomly assigned into four groups. The Short Cycle (n = 6; control) and Short Cycle/Explant (n = 8; endometrial explants) groups had their calves weaned at 30-32 days postpartum. The Normal Cycle (n = 5, control) and Normal Cycle/Explant (n = 8; endometrial explants) groups received norgestomet (progestin) implants for 9 days beginning 21-23 days postpartum, and calves were weaned at implant insertion. Estrous cycle length (mean +/- SE; p less than 0.01) for the Short Cycle group was 11.5 +/- 1.9 days compared to 18.8 +/- 0.6 days for the Normal Cycle group. On Day 5 following the first postpartum estrus, cows in the Short Cycle/Explant and Normal Cycle/Explant groups were hysterectomized, and endometrial explants were incubated in Earle's Balanced Salt solution/Medium 199 for 90 min with or without arachidonic acid (AA) in the presence of three levels of oxytocin. Mean concentrations of PGF and PGFM were combined to obtain a value for total PGF. Concentrations of total PGF, PGE2 (from explants without AA treatment), and 6-keto-PGF1 alpha in medium of the Short Cycle/Explant group were higher (p less than 0.01) than in medium of the Normal Cycle/Explant group.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Radiotracer studies and radioimmunoassay measurements demonstrate that minced tissues of human decidua produce chiefly thromboxane B2 (TxB2) (70% of total eicosanoids) and small amounts of prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2 alpha) (13%) PGD2 (8%), 6-keto-PGF1 alpha (5%) and PGE2 (4%). Inhibition of thromboxane synthesis with a specific inhibitor (OKY-1581: sodium (E)-3-[4(-3-pyridylmethyl)-phenyl]-2-methyl propenoate) increased prostaglandin formation in general, with the main product being PGF2 alpha (38%), a nonenzymic derivative of PGH2. Crude particulate fractions prepared from the same tissue synthesized two major products from [3H]arachidonate, TxB2 and 6-keto-PGF1 alpha (54 and 30%, respectively) and some PGF2 alpha and PGE2 (8-8%). However, in the presence of reduced glutathione (GSH), PGE2 became the main product (81%) (TxB2, 15%; PGF2 alpha, 2%; and 6-keto-PGF1 alpha, 2%). Half-maximal stimulation of PGE2 synthesis occurred at 46 microM GSH. The GSH concentration of tissue samples was found to be 110 +/- 30 microM. We conclude that human first trimester decidua cells possess the key enzymes of prostaglandin and thromboxane synthesis. Apparently, the production of these compounds is controlled by a specific mechanism in the tissue, which keeps PGE and prostacyclin synthesis in a reversibly suppressed state, whereas the formation of thromboxane is relatively stimulated. 相似文献

The in vitro effect of non-steroidal regulators (prostaglandins, cyclic nucleotides and tricarboxylic acids) on the cytoplasmic 20 alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (20 alpha-HSDH, EC 1.1.1.149) isolated from human early gestational and term placentas was investigated. When prostaglandins (PG) were tested at 100 microM concentrations, an inhibition of the human placental 20 alpha-HSDH by PGE1 (80% inhibition), PGE2 (70%), PGF1 alpha (40%) PGF2 alpha (30%) and 13,14-dihydro-15-keto-PGF2 (PGFM) (20%) was observed. This effect was shown to be dose-dependent. The I50 (concentration at 50% inhibition) was determined for PGE1 and PGE2 to be 11 microM and 38 microM, respectively. No effect on the activity of the 20 alpha-HSDH could be demonstrated for PGI2 and its stable metabolite 6-keto-PGF1 alpha, for the cyclic nucleotides (dbcAMP, dbcGMP) and for the tricarboxylic acids (citrate, ketoglutarate, lactate, malonate, pyruvate and succinate) when added to the incubation at 100 microM concentration. The 20 alpha-HSDH isolated from early gestational and term placentas did not respond differently to the substances tested. These results suggest that prostaglandins can have a direct, dose-dependent effect on the isolated human placental 20 alpha-HSDH without cyclic nucleotides as intermediates and thereby play a role in the regulation of human progesterone synthesis and metabolism during pregnancy and near term. 相似文献

Prostaglandins circulating in the maternal and foetal blood have been implicated in important physiological systems. These functions include foetal adrenal function, maintenance of patency of the ductus arteriosus, regulation of uterine and umbilical circulations, and labor and delivery type myometrial contractions. The placenta is a major site of prostaglandin production in pregnancy. Limited data are available which combine measurements of veno-arterial differences across the uterine and umbilical circulations with blood flow in these circulations to enable calculation of umbilical-placental and utero-placental production rates for the prostaglandins. In chronically instrumented pregnant ewes, between 129 and 136 days of gestation, prostaglandin F2 alpha(PGF2 alpha), 13, 14 dihydro-15-keto prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGFM), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) were measured in the maternal carotid artery and uterine vein. Foetal PGE2, and 6-keto-prostaglandin F1 alpha (6-keto-PGF1 alpha) (the major metabolite of prostacyclin) were measured in umbilical venous and foetal descending aorta arterial plasma. Umbilical and uterine blood flow were measured using the diffusion-equilibrium technique. Uterine blood flow was 1693 +/- 137 ml.min-1 (mean +/- SEM); uterine production rates were 480 +/- 88 ng.min-1 for PGF2 alpha, 517 +/- 144 ng.min-1 for PGFM, and 165 +/- 27 ng.min-1 for PGE2. Umbilical blood flow was 147 +/- 17 ml.min-1.kg-1 foetal body weight. Umbilical production rates into the foetal circulation were 11 +/- 2 ng.min-1.kg-1 for PGE2 and 6 +/- 2 ng. ng.min-1.kg-1 foetal body weight for PGI2. 相似文献

Production of prostaglandins by dispersed cells and fragments from bovine parathyroid glands 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We studied the production of prostaglandins by fragments and dispersed cells from bovine parathyroid glands. Fragments released 138 +/- 19 (SE), 132 +/- 21, 4.3 +/- 0.5, and 13 +/- 6.6 pg/mg/h of 6-keto-PGF1 alpha, PGF2 alpha, PGE2, and thromboxane B2, respectively (n = 7 - 26), while dispersed cells released 414 +/- 110, 22 +/- 7.3, 27 +/- 3.8, and 29 +/- 11 pg/10(6) cells/h, respectively, of the same compounds (n = 6 - 25). Indomethacin (1 microgram/ml) inhibited the release of 6-keto-PGF1 alpha by 80-90% in fragments and cells, while mellitin stimulated release of this prostaglandin, suggesting de novo synthesis of prostaglandins in these preparations. Calcium stimulated production of 6-keto-PGF1 alpha by 1.3-fold in cells and 2.6-fold in fragments and also enhanced production of PGF2 alpha by 1.9-fold in fragments. Isoproterenol, on the other hand, had no effect on production of 6-keto-PGF1 alpha in either preparation. These results demonstrate that parathyroid tissue as well as parathyroid cells per se produce a variety of prostaglandins. We have previously shown that PGE2 and PGF2 alpha modulate cAMP accumulation and PTH release in dispersed bovine parathyroid cells. The role of the endogenous production of prostaglandins by the parathyroid gland in the acute or chronic regulation of parathyroid function, however, remains to be determined. 相似文献

To more clearly define the physiologic roles of thromboxane (TX)A2 and primary prostaglandins (PG) in vascular tissue we examined vascular contractility, cell signaling, and growth responses. The growth-promoting effects of (15S)-hydroxy-11 alpha,9 alpha-(epoxymethano)prosta-5Z,13E-dienoic acid (U46619; TXA2 agonist), PGF2 alpha, and PGE2 consisted of protein synthesis and proto-oncogene expression, but not DNA synthesis or cell proliferation. U46619 contracted rat aortas and increased cultured rat aortic vascular smooth muscle cell intracellular free calcium concentration [Ca2+]i, [3H]inositol monophosphate (IP) accumulation, myosin light chain phosphorylation, and protein synthesis ([3H]leucine incorporation) with EC50 values ranging from 10 to 50 nM. Each of these responses was inhibitable with the TXA2 receptor antagonist [1S]1 alpha,2 beta(5Z),3 beta,4 alpha-7-(3-[2- [(phenylamino)carbonyl]hydrazino]methyl)-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2- yl-5-heptenoic acid (SQ29548). In contrast, PGF2 alpha increased [Ca2+]i, [3H]IP, and protein synthesis with EC50 values of 30-230 nM but contracted rat aortas with an EC50 of 4800 nM. PGE2 increased [Ca2+]i, [3H]IP accumulation, protein synthesis, and contracted rat aortas with EC50 values of 2.5-3.5 microM. TXA2 receptor blockade prevented PGF2 alpha- and PGE2-induced aortic contraction and cell myosin light chain phosphorylation, but not cell signaling or protein synthesis. Binding studies to vascular smooth muscle TXA2 receptors using 1S-[1 alpha,2 beta(5Z),3 alpha(1E,3S),4 alpha]-7-(3-[3-hydroxy-4-(p- [125I]iodophenoxy)-1-butenyl]7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-yl)-5-hepte noic acid ([125I]BOP) showed U46619, SQ29548, PGF2 alpha, and PGE2 competition for TXA2 receptor binding at concentrations similar to their EC50 values for aortic contraction, while binding competition with [3H]PGF2 alpha and [3H]PGE2 demonstrated the specificity of [125I]BOP and SQ29548 for TXA2 receptors. The results suggest that 1) PGF2 alpha- and E2-stimulated vessel contraction is due to cross-agonism at vascular TXA2 receptors; 2) PGF2 alpha stimulates TXA2 receptor-independent vascular smooth muscle protein synthesis at nanomolar concentrations, consistent with an interaction at its primary receptor; and 3) TXA2 is a potent stimulus for vascular smooth muscle contraction and protein synthesis. We suggest that the main physiologic effect of PGF2 alpha may be as a stimulus for vascular smooth muscle cell hypertrophy, not as a contractile agonist. 相似文献

In vivo and in vitro studies were conducted to determine the contribution of the bovine uterus to concentrations of 15-keto-13,14-dihydro-prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGFM) in peripheral plasma of postpartum cows. In Experiment 1, cows were assigned to three groups: untreated control (n = 4), hysterectomy following a manually induced prolapse of the uterus (n = 5) and sham operation (n = 3: prolapse of the uterus and replacement). Surgery was performed within 8 h of parturition, and blood samples collected frequently on the day of surgery and once (0800 h) or twice (0800 and 1700 h) daily from Day 1 to Day 15 postpartum. Following hysterectomy, PGFM concentrations decreased precipitously, became essentially undetectable by 5 h, and remained so for the rest of the experimental period. In contrast (P less than 0.01), PGFM concentrations, which remained elevated during the day of surgery in the sham-operated group, peaked on Day 2 (sham-operated group: 1339 pg/ml) or Day 3 (untreated control: 2143 pg/ml), and declined to a basal concentration between Days 10 to 15. In Experiment 2, in vitro metabolism of tritiated arachidonic acid ([3H] AA: 10 microCi) and production of PGF2 alpha and PGFM were studied in explants of early postpartum intrauterine tissues (myometrium, caruncle and intercaruncular endometrium). Extracts of [3H] AA metabolites released into the incubation medium were separated on Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography. Metabolites of [3H] AA, having the same chromatographic mobility as PGF2 alpha, PGFM and PGE2, were detected.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Three newly established human melanoma cell lines (WU-BI, PN-JC, MJ-ZJ) of different morphology and different stage of malignancy were incubated with ionophore A23187 (2.5 to 40 microM) or arachidonic acid (AA, 6.25 to 100 microM). PGF2 alpha, 6-keto-PGF1 alpha, PGE2, TXB2 and 2,3-dinor-TXB2 from isolated cells and supernatants were measured by negative ion chemical ionization gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). PGE2 decreased in the fibroblastoid MJ-ZJ cells from 36.7 ng/mg cell protein about 70% (A23187) and about 20% (AA), respectively. However, in the cell supernatant PGE2 increased up to 295.4 +/- 66.5 ng/mg cell protein. Production of PGF2 alpha and PGE2 increased up to 5.7 +/- 1.2 ng/mg cell protein for polydendritic WU-BI cells and spindle shaped PN-JC cells. Up to 9.3 +/- 4.3 ng PGF2 alpha and 13.4 +/- 4.7 ng PGE2 was measured for WU-BI and PN-JC in the cell supernatants. All three melanoma cell lines completely lacked formation of 6-keto-PGF1 alpha, TXB2, and 2,3-dinor-TXB2. 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

Recent studies have reported that beta-adrenergic agonists stimulate the production of stimulatory prostaglandins (PGs) by intrauterine tissues in vitro. These drugs are used clinically to inhibit uterine contractions; consequently an increase in stimulatory PGs in vivo might have potentially adverse effects. We have, therefore, investigated whether beta-adrenergic agonists increase plasma PG concentrations in vivo. Samples of peripheral (aorta) and uterine venous enriched (vena cava) blood from nonpregnant sheep were collected at 15-min intervals for 1 h before, 3 h during, and 1 h postinfusion of either (a) the beta-adrenergic agonist isoproterenol (Isop) at a dose of 0.16 microgram.kg-1.min-1; (b) Isop at a dose of 0.08 microgram.kg-1.min-1; or (c) saline, 1 mL/h via a jugular vein catheter. The sheep were also equipped with intrauterine recording balloons to record intrauterine pressure and myometrial electromyographic (EMG) electrodes to measure EMG activity. Infusion of Isop at 0.16 microgram.kg-1.min-1 produced a significant initial inhibition of uterine activity, although contractions returned (within 60 min) despite continued administration of Isop. Plasma PGE2 (but not PGF2 alpha or 13,14-dihydro-15-keto-PGF2 alpha (PGFM] concentrations were significantly elevated during the Isop infusion. Administration of Isop at 0.08 microgram.kg-1.min-1 produced no effects on uterine contractile activity but was associated with a significant elevation in plasma PGE2 (but not PGF2 alpha or PGFM) concentrations. No changes in plasma PGE2, PGF2 alpha, or PGFM occurred during saline infusion.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

This study provided a pharmacological evaluation of prostaglandin binding to bovine luteal plasma membrane. It was found that [3H]PGF2 alpha' [3H]PGE2' [3H]PGE1 and [3H]PGD2 all bound with high affinity to luteal plasma membrane but had different specificities. Binding of [3H]PGF2 alpha and [3H]PGD2 was inhibited by non-radioactive PGF2 alpha (IC50 values of 21 and 9 nmol l-1, respectively), PGD2 (35 and 21 nmol l-1), and PGE2 (223 and 81 nmol l-1), but not by PGE1 (> 10,000 and 5616 nmol l-1). In contrast, [3H]PGE1 was inhibited by non-radioactive PGE1 (14 nmol l-1) and PGE2 (7 nmol l-1), but minimally by PGD2 (2316 nmol l-1) and PGF2 alpha (595 nmol l-1). Binding of [3H]PGE2 was inhibited by all four prostaglandins, but slopes of the dissociation curves indicated two binding sites. Binding of [3H]PGE1 was inhibited, resulting in low IC50 values, by pharmacological agonists that are specific for EP3 receptor and possibly EP2 receptor. High affinity binding of [3H]PGF2 alpha required a C15 hydroxyl group and a C1 carboxylic acid that are present on all physiological prostaglandins. Specificity of binding for the FP receptor depended on the C9 hydroxyl group and the C5/C6 double bond. Alteration of the C11 position had little effect on affinity for the FP receptor. In conclusion, there is a luteal EP receptor with high affinity for PGE1' PGE2' agonists of EP3 receptors, and some agonists of EP2 receptors. The luteal FP receptor binds PGF2 alpha' PGD2 (high affinity), and PGE2 (moderate affinity) but not PGE1 due to affinity determination by the C9 and C5/C6 moieties, but not the C11 moiety. 相似文献

A prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) receptor was solubilized and isolated from cardiac sarcolemma membranes. Its binding characteristics are almost identical to those of the membrane bound receptor. [3H]PGE2 binding to solubilized and membrane bound receptor was sensitive to elevated temperature and no binding was observed in the absence of NaCl. No significant effects of DTT, ATP, Mg2+, Ca2+ or of changes in buffer pH were observed on [3H]PGE2 binding to either solubilized or membrane-bound receptor. Unlabelled PGE1 displaced over 90% of [3H]PGE2 from the CHAPS-solubilized receptor. PGD2, PGI2, PGF2 alpha and 6-keto-PGF1 alpha were not effective in displacing [3H]PGE2 from the receptor. Scatchard analysis of [3H]PGE2 binding to CHAPS-solubilized receptor revealed the presence of two types of PGE2 binding sites with Kd of 0.33 +/- 0.05 nM and 3.00 +/- 0.27 nM and Bmax of 0.5 +/- 0.04 and 2.0 +/- 0.1 pmol/mg of protein. The functional PGE2 receptor was isolated from CHAPS-solubilized SL membrane using two independent methods: first by a WGA-Sepharose chromatography and second by sucrose gradient density centrifugation. Receptor isolated by these two methods bound [3H]PGE2. Unlabelled PGE1 and PGE2 displaced [3H]PGE2 from the purified receptor. Scatchard analysis of [3H]PGE2 binding to purified receptor revealed the presence of the two binding sites as observed for the membrane bound and CHAPS-solubilized receptor. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the purified receptor fractions revealed the presence of a protein band of M(r) of approx. 100,000. This 100-kDa was photolabelled with [3H]azido-PGE2, a photoactive derivative of PGE2. We propose that this 100-kDa protein is a cardiac PGE2 receptor. 相似文献

The outputs of PGF(2 alpha), PGE2 and 6-keto-PGF(1 alpha)were similar from the day 22 guinea-pig placenta and sub-placenta in culture, except for PGE2 output from the sub-placenta which was lower. Between days 22 and 29 of pregnancy, the outputs of PGF(2 alpha), PGE2 and 6-keto-PGF(1 alpha)during the initial 2 h culture period increased 6.9-, 1.1- and 3.2-fold, respectively, from the placenta, and 2.1-, 1.4- and 2.2-fold, respectively, from the sub-placenta. Therefore, there was a relatively specific increase in PGF(2 alpha)production by the guinea-pig placenta between days 22 and 29 of pregnancy. The output of PGFM from the cultured placenta also increased between days 22 and 29, indicating that the increase in PGF(2 alpha)output was due to increased synthesis rather than to decreased metabolism. By comparing the amounts of prostaglandins produced by tissue homogenates during a 1 h incubation period, it appears that there is approximately a 2-fold increase in the amount of prostaglandin H synthase (PGHS) present in the guinea-pig placenta between days 22 and 29. NS-398 (a specific inhibitor of PGHS-2) and indomethacin (an inhibitor of both PGHS-1 and PGHS-2) both inhibited prostaglandin production by homogenates of day 22 and day 29 placenta. Indomethacin was more effective than NS-398, except for their actions on PGF(2 alpha)production by the day 29 placenta where indomethacin and NS-398 were equiactive. Indomethacin and NS-398 were both very effective at inhibiting the outputs of PGF(2 alpha), PGE2 and 6-keto-PGF(1 alpha)from the day 22 and day 29 placenta and sub-placenta in culture, indicating that prostaglandin production by the guinea-pig placenta and sub-placenta in culture is largely dependent upon the activity of PGHS-2. The high production of PGF(2 alpha)by the day 29 placenta is not dependent on the continual synthesis of fresh protein(s), as inhibitors of protein synthesis did not reduce PGF(2 alpha)output from the day 29 guinea-pig placenta in culture. 相似文献
