To characterize the interactions between prostaglandin F2 alpha and prostacyclin in controlling tone in the pulmonary circulation, isolated rat lungs were ventilated, perfused with blood, and subjected to challenge by prostaglandin F2 alpha in increasing doses. The pulmonary resistance was evaluated using occlusion techniques that separate the resistance into segments of large and small arteries and veins. The total vascular compliance was evaluated using outflow occlusion. Resistance increased after prostaglandin F2 alpha, and this resistance change was primarily in the small artery segment. The maximum resistance increase by prostaglandin F2 alpha (Rmax,PGF2 alpha), calculated from the Michaelis-Menton equation, was 16.6 +/- 3.6 cmH2O.l-1.min.100 g-1 for total vascular resistance with a concentration required to produce 50% Rmax (K0.5) of 5.26 +/- 3.57 nM. The Rmax,PGF2 alpha for small artery resistance was 13.5 +/- 2.4 cmH2O.l-1.min.100 g-1 with a K0.5 of 2.35 +/- 1.57 nM. The vascular compliance decreased during vasoconstriction by prostaglandin F2 alpha, and the maximum decrease in compliance (Cmin,PGF2 alpha) was -0.43 +/- 0.12 ml/cmH2O with a K0.5 of 2.84 +/- 2.99 nM. At each dose of prostaglandin F2 alpha, prostacyclin was administered in increasing doses to reverse the vasoconstriction caused by prostaglandin F2 alpha. For each concentration of prostaglandin F2 alpha, prostacyclin almost completely reversed the resistance increases and approximately one-half the compliance decrease. The maximum change in vascular resistance or compliance produced by prostacyclin was dependent on the dose of prostaglandin F2 alpha; yet the K0.5 for prostacyclin was within the picomolar range for all doses of prostaglandin F2 alpha.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The release of prostaglandin E2 and F2 alpha, thromboxane B2 and 6-keto-prostaglandin F1 alpha was measured in isolated human placental cotyledons perfused under high- and low-oxygen conditions. Also the effect of reoxygenation on prostaglandin production was studied. During the high-oxygen period, prostaglandin E2 accounted for 44% and 6-keto-prostaglandin F1 alpha for 28% of all prostaglandin release, and the rank order of prostaglandin release was E2 greater than 6-keto-prostaglandin F1 alpha greater than thromboxane B2 greater than prostaglandin F2 alpha. Hypoxia had no significant effect on quantitative prostaglandin release, but the ratio of prostaglandin E2 to prostaglandin F2 alpha was significantly increased. After the hypoxic period during reoxygenation the release of 6-keto-prostaglandin F1 alpha was significantly decreased, as was the ratio of 6-keto-prostaglandin F1 alpha to thromboxane B2. Also the ratio of the vasodilating prostaglandins (E2, 6-keto-prostaglandin F1 alpha) to the vasoconstricting prostaglandins (thromboxane B2, prostaglandin F2 alpha) was decreased during reoxygenation period. With the constant flow rate, the perfusion pressure increased during hypoxia in six and was unchanged in three preparations. The results indicate that changes in the tissue oxygenation in the placenta affect prostaglandin release in the fetal placental circulation. This may also have circulatory consequences. 相似文献

Determination of 9 alpha, 11 beta-prostaglandin F2 by stereospecific antibody in various rat tissues
H Hayashi S Ito T Tanaka M Negishi H Kawabe H Yokohama K Watanabe O Hayaishi 《Prostaglandins》1987,33(4):517-530
In view of the recent finding that prostaglandin D2 is stereospecifically converted to 9 alpha, 11 beta-prostaglandin F2, an isomer of prostaglandin F2 alpha, a highly specific and sensitive radioimmunoassay for 9 alpha, 11 beta-prostaglandin F2 was developed and applied to determine the content of this prostaglandin in various rat tissues. Antisera against 9 alpha, 11 beta-prostaglandin F2 were raised in rabbits immunized with the bovine serum albumin conjugate, and [3H]9 alpha, 11 beta-prostaglandin F2 was enzymatically prepared from [3H]prostaglandin D2. The assay detected 9 alpha, 11 beta-prostaglandin F2 over the range of 20 pg to 1 ng, and the antiserum showed less than 0.04% cross-reaction with prostaglandin F2 alpha, prostaglandin F2 beta and 9 beta, 11 beta-prostaglandin F2. To avoid postmortem changes, tissues were frozen in liquid nitrogen immediately after removal. The basal level of 9 alpha, 11 beta-prostaglandin F2 was hardly detectable in various tissues of the rat examined, including spleen, lung, liver and brain; although it was found to be 0.31 +/- 0.06 ng/g wet weight in the small intestine. During convulsion induced by pentylenetetrazole, enormous amounts of prostaglandin D2 (ca. 180 ng/g wet weight) and prostaglandin F2 alpha (ca. 70 ng/g) were produced in the brain; however, 9 alpha, 11 beta-prostaglandin F2 was detected neither there nor in the blood. This result demonstrates that the conversion to 9 alpha, 11 beta-prostaglandin F2 is a minor pathway, if one at all, of prostaglandin D2 metabolism in the rat brain. 相似文献

Besides 6-ketoprostaglandin F1 alpha, bovine aortic endothelial cells also produced considerable amounts of 6,15-diketoprostaglandin F1 alpha from arachidonic acid, either exogenously added or released from cellular phospholipids. Incubations of particulate fractions of endothelial cells with the cyclic endoperoxides prostaglandin G2 and prostaglandin H2 showed that 6,15-diketoprostaglandin F1 alpha is formed by the action of prostaglandin I2 synthetase on prostaglandin G2. The labile metabolite 15-hydroperoxyprostaglandin I2 is then converted nonenzymatically to the 15-keto derivative. In the presence of reduced glutathione, quantitative analysis of both metabolites by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry showed a significant decrease of 6,15-diketoprostaglandin F1 alpha formation, whereas prostaglandin I2 synthesis was markedly increased. This shift seems to be due to a stimulation of peroxidase by GSH, a well known cofactor of this enzyme. Thus, it seems that a decreased endothelial prostaglandin I2 formation may occur when cellular glutathione levels are reduced as a consequence of oxidant injury and lipid peroxidation. Additionally, ferrous ions seems to be involved in the regulation of endothelial prostaglandin I2 synthesis, since Desferal, a specific ferrous ion chelator that might have antimetastatic properties, produced a pronounced shift from 6,15-diketoprostaglandin F1 alpha to the 6-keto derivative, i.e., prostaglandin I2. 相似文献

Altered glomerular eicosanoid biosynthesis in uranyl nitrate-induced acute renal failure 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The present studies were designed (1) to examine the pattern of changes in eicosanoid biosynthesis in isolated rat glomeruli, and (2) to correlate these changes with the previously observed alterations in renal perfusion and glomerular filtration rate which occur after uranyl nitrate administration, a model of toxin-induced acute renal failure. In the first part of this study, the in vitro and the in vivo effects of two cyclooxygenase inhibitors were examined for their ability to inhibit rat glomerular eicosanoid biosynthesis. Inhibition of prostaglandin E2 and prostaglandin F2 alpha generation by 1 mM aspirin in vitro was 76 and 82%, respectively. Similar inhibitions of 85 and 72% of biosynthesis of the above-mentioned lipids by 0.1 mM indomethacin were also noted. Intraperitoneal administration of aspirin (150 mg/kg) resulted in a significant inhibition of 88% or greater of prostaglandin E2, prostaglandin F2 alpha, 6-keto-prostaglandin F2 alpha, and thromboxane B2 biosynthesis. These results indicated that the expected alterations produced under in vivo conditions were detectable by in vitro techniques used in this study. 24 h after the administration of uranyl nitrate (25 mg/kg), significant increases in the biosynthesis of prostaglandin E2 (124%) and prostaglandin F2 alpha (88%) were observed when compared to the control values. No significant changes in prostacyclin or thromboxane formation were noted at this time. A further increase in the biosynthesis of prostaglandin E2 (248%), prostaglandin F2 alpha (262%), and a significant increase in prostacyclin (120%), measured as 6-keto-prostaglandin F1 alpha, were noted at 48 h. No changes in thromboxane B2 biosynthesis were noted. It is concluded that these data are consistent with the hypothesis that the increased glomerular biosynthesis of vasodilator eicosanoids (i.e., prostaglandin E2 and prostacyclin) may play a significant role in the homeostatic regulation of renal perfusion and glomerular filtration after acute toxic injury to the kidney. 相似文献

Recent studies indicate that the corpus luteum (CL) may be a source of prostaglandin F2alpha (PGF2alpha) for regression. We investigated expression of mRNA and protein for prostaglandin G/H synthase (PGHS) in the CL of immature superovulated rats following administration of PGF2alpha. We observed an increase in mRNA for PGHS-2, the induced isoform, at 1 h and protein at 8 and 24 h after treatment. One hour after PGF2alpha, there was also a progressive decrease in plasma progesterone concentration. There were no changes, however, in expression of PGHS-1, the constitutive isoform, over the 24 h sampling period. These results indicate that PGHS-2 increases following PGF2alpha treatment and that expression of this enzyme in the rat CL may contribute to the luteolytic mechanism. 相似文献

[3H7]Prostaglandin D2 was biosynthesized and infused into an unanesthetized monkey. The urinary metabolites were isolated and subsequently identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Two pathways of prostaglandin D2 metabolism were identified and resulted in metabolites with prostaglandin D (3-hydroxycyclopentanone) and prostaglandin F (cyclopentane-1,3-diol) ring structures. The major prostaglandin D ring metabolite was identified as 9,20-dihydroxy-11,15-dioxo-2,3-dinorprost-5-en-1-oic acid. Nine other prostaglandin D ring metabolites were identified reflecting various combinations of metabolism by beta and omega oxidation, 15 dehydrogenation, and 13-14 reduction. In greater abundance were those prostaglandin D2 metabolites which had the prostaglandin F ring structure. The major prostaglandin D2 metabolite which had the prostaglandin F ring structure was identified as 9,11,15-trihydroxy-2,3-dinorprosta-5,13-dien-1-oic acid (dinor prostaglandin F2 alpha). Nine other metabolites with the prostaglandin F ring structure were identified, including prostaglandin F2 alpha itself. These, for the most part, were the structural counterparts of the metabolites with the prostaglandin D ring. Since many prostaglandin D2 metabolites were found to be identical with the metabolites of prostaglandin F2 alpha, quantitative determinations of prostaglandin F ring metabolites may not be a specific indicator of prostaglandin F2 alpha biosynthesis. Likewise, data involving the measurement of a biological effect of prostaglandin D2 must be re-examined to account for the possible contribution of prostaglandin F2 alpha, a metabolite of prostaglandin D2, to the biological response. 相似文献

Antral and fundic mucosal homogenates obtained from prostaglandin E2-immunized rabbits converted 14C-arachidonic acid to prostaglandin E2, 6-keto prostaglandin F1 alpha, prostaglandin F2 alpha, and prostaglandin D2. Percentage conversion of 14C-arachidonic acid to these prostaglandin products was not significantly different in prostaglandin E2-immunized rabbits compared with control rabbits (thyroglobulin-immunized and unimmunized rabbits combined). Synthesis of 6-keto prostaglandin F1 alpha, prostaglandin E2 and 13,14-dihydro 15-keto prostaglandin E2 from endogenous arachidonic acid after vortex mixing fundic mucosal homogenates was similar in prostaglandin E2 immunized rabbits and control rabbits. Both in prostaglandin E2-immunized rabbits and controls, 3H-prostaglandin E2 was catabolized extensively by the fundic mucosa, whereas 3H-6-keto prostaglandin F1 alpha, 3H-prostaglandin F2 alpha, and 3H-prostaglandin D2 were not catabolized to any appreciable extent. The rate of catabolism of PGs was not significantly different in prostaglandin E2-immunized rabbits and control rabbits, with the exception of prostaglandin F2 alpha which was catabolized slightly more rapidly in prostaglandin E2-immunized rabbits. These results indicate that development of gastric ulcers in prostaglandin E2-immunized rabbits is not associated with an alteration in the capacity of the gastric mucosa to synthesize or catabolize prostaglandins. 相似文献

The role of the fetus in the onset and progress of stretch-induced labor and in the change in amniotic fluid prostaglandin F2 alpha and plasma prostaglandin F2 alpha metabolite levels was evaluated in six normal pregnant women (group 1) and six women whose fetuses had been dead for more than one week (group 2). The uterus was distended by a balloon inflated with physiologic saline. Regular uterine contractions occurred, and increased in all patients. Within 21 hours, all patients delivered a normal baby in group 1 and a macerated fetus in group 2. There was no significant difference in induction-delivery interval between the two groups. Both groups showed a significant and similar range of increases in the levels of amniotic fluid prostaglandin F2 alpha and plasma prostaglandin F2 alpha metabolite during treatment (P less than 0.001). Thus, the fetus has no functional role in the onset and progress of stretch-induced labor or in the rise of amniotic fluid prostaglandin F2 alpha and plasma prostaglandin F2 alpha metabolite levels. 相似文献

After [3H]arachidonic acid labeling, cyclooxygenase products were qualitatively analysed in the media of each cultured vascular cell type by reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (rp-HPLC). The prostaglandin E2, prostaglandin F2 alpha, 6-ketoprostaglandin F1 alpha and thromboxane B2 detected in the rp-HPLC radioactive profile were then quantified by radioimmunoassay (RIA) in separate sets of experiments. In preconfluent endothelial cells prostaglandin F2 alpha and 6-ketoprostaglandin F1 alpha were detected in equal amounts (49%), whereas after confluence 6-ketoprostaglandin F1 alpha represented 57% of total secretion (P less than 0.05). Smooth muscle cells secreted mainly prostaglandin F2 alpha (48%) and fibroblasts prostaglandin E2 (44%). Using the bioassay method, antiaggregatory activity was detected only in endothelial cells, though a small percentage of immunoreactive 6-ketoprostaglandin F1 alpha was encountered in smooth muscle cells and fibroblasts (13 and 10%, respectively). Radioimmunological analysis after rp-HPLC separation of the medium of endothelial cells showed that the anti-6-ketoprostaglandin F1 alpha antibody recognized, among other substances, an unidentified compound. Its retention time was similar to that of prostaglandin F2 alpha. This unidentified compound was not detected in the media from smooth muscle cells and fibroblasts. 相似文献

Metabolism of prostaglandins, prostaglandin analogs and thromboxane B2 by lung and liver microsomes from pregnant rabbits 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
W S Powell 《Biochimica et biophysica acta》1979,575(3):335-349
Liver microsomes from pregnant rabbits converted prostaglandins F2 alpha, E1, and E2 to their 20-hydroxy metabolites along with smaller amounts of the corresponding 19-hydroxy compounds. Prostaglandins E1 and E2 were also reduced to prostaglandins F1 alpha and F2 alpha, respectively, and prostaglandin E1 was isomerized to 8-isoprostaglandin E1. The above products were also identified after incubation of prostaglandins with liver microsomes from non-pregnant rabbits. In this case, the yield of 20-hydroxy metabolites was much lower. Thromboxane B2 and a number of prostaglandin F2 alpha analogs were also hydroxylated by lung and liver microsomes from pregnant rabbits. The relative rates of hydroxylation by lung microsomes were: prostaglandin E2 approximately prostaglandin F2 alpha approximately 16,16-dimethylprostaglandin F2 alpha approximately 13,14-didehydroprostaglandin F2 alpha greater than thromboxane B2 greater than 15-methylprostaglandin F2 alpha approximately 17-phenyl-18,19,-20-trinorprostaglandin F2 alpha approximately ent-13,14-didehydro-15-epiprostaglandin F2 alpha. Similar results were obtained with liver microsomes except that thromboxane B2 was a relatively poorer substrate for hydroxylation. 相似文献

A sensitive electron-capture gas-liquid-chromatographic method for the determination of sub-nanogram quantities of prostaglandin F(2alpha) was developed. The method is based on the sub-microgram scale conversion of the prostaglandin into the electron-capturing pentafluorobenzyl ester, and analysis of the latter as the tris-trimethylsilyl ether. The lower limit of detection was 12.5pg of the ester injected ;on-column' as the silylated product. The method was successfully applied to the determination of prostaglandin F(2alpha) in monkey plasma. The specificity of the analytical procedure was increased by incorporating a thin-layer chromatographic fractionation before gas-liquid chromatography. The utility of the analytical methodology developed was demonstrated by its application to the determination of plasma concentrations of intact prostaglandin F(2alpha) in a Rhesus monkey, after subcutaneous administration of a single dose of prostaglandin F(2alpha). The electron-capture gas-liquid-chromatographic assay is compared with the radioimmunoassay and the gas-liquid-chromatographic-mass-spectrometry assay for the determination of prostaglandin F(2alpha). 相似文献

We have recently shown that isolated rat liver peroxisomes can chain-shorten prostaglandin F2 alpha and prostaglandin E2 to tetranor-metabolites. In the present report dinor-metabolites of these two prostaglandins were also identified, suggesting that the peroxisomal chain-shortening reaction of prostaglandins is a beta-oxidation reaction. Furthermore, an intermediate containing an extra double bond was isolated from incubates of prostaglandin F2 alpha with peroxisomes. This intermediate was tentatively assigned the structure 2,3-dehydroprostaglandin F2 alpha. Prostaglandin E1 and a major circulating prostaglandin F2 alpha metabolite were also metabolized to chain-shortened products by peroxisomes. The accumulation of the 2,3-dehydro-metabolite and the dinor-metabolites suggest that the peroxisomal beta-oxidation sequence is not tightly coupled, in contrast to mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation. 相似文献

Sensitization of alveolar macrophages to lipopolysaccharide-induced prostaglandin synthesis by exogenous prostaglandins 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
K Tanamoto U Schade E T Rietschel 《Biochemical and biophysical research communications》1989,165(1):526-532
Rabbit alveolar macrophages were found to produce extraordinary amounts of prostaglandin E2 and F2 alpha with the stimulation of lipopolysaccharide or lipid A. Exogenous prostaglandin E2 greatly enhanced the lipopolysaccharide action on rabbit alveolar macrophages for the induction of prostaglandin F2 alpha release (3-5 fold), while prostaglandin E2 alone did not cause any effect. The enhancement expressed was especially strong when prostaglandin E2 was administered to the cells simultaneously with lipopolysaccharide. The effect of prostaglandin E2 was observed neither with a nonstimulating dose of lipopolysaccharide nor with a stimulating dose of zymosan. This phenomenon was even more pronounced when prostaglandin I2 was used instead of prostaglandin E2, while no sensitization was demonstrated by prostaglandin F2 alpha. These observations suggest that prostaglandins can modulate the activation of the cyclooxygenase pathway of arachidonate metabolism in the activated macrophages by lipopolysaccharide. 相似文献

50 microCi of [3H]prostaglandin D2 tracer (100 Ci/mmol) was infused intravenously into a normal human male volunteer. 75% of the infused radioactivity was excreted into the urine within 5 h. This urine was added to urine obtained from two mastocytosis patients with marked overproduction of prostaglandin D2. Radiolabeled prostaglandin D2 urinary metabolites were chromatographically isolated and purified and subsequently identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. 25 metabolites were identified. 23 of these compounds comprising 37% of the recovered radioactivity had prostaglandin F-ring structures, and only two metabolites comprising 2.7% of the recovered radioactivity retained the prostaglandin D-ring structure. The single most abundant metabolite identified was 9,11-dihydroxy-15-oxo-2,3,18,19-tetranorprost-5-ene-1,20-dioic acid which was isolated in a tricyclic form as a result of formation of a lower side chain hemiketal followed by lactonization of the terminal carboxyl and the hemiketal hydroxyl. Different isomeric forms of several prostaglandin F-ring metabolites were identified. An isomer of prostaglandin F2 alpha was also excreted intact into the urine as a metabolite of prostaglandin D2. 15 PGF-ring compounds were treated with n-butylboronic acid and 13 failed to form a boronate derivative, suggesting that the orientation of the hydroxyl group at C-11 in these 13 metabolites is beta. This study documents that prostaglandin D2 is metabolized to prostaglandin F-ring metabolites in vivo in humans. These results also bring into question the accuracy of quantifying prostaglandin F2 alpha metabolites as a specific index of endogenous prostaglandin F2 alpha biosynthesis, as well as quantifying urinary prostaglandin F2 alpha as an accurate index of renal production of prostaglandin F2 alpha. 相似文献

The prostaglandin biosynthetic and catabolic capacity of homogenates of lungs from fetal sheep of various gestational ages was measured. Prostaglandin biosynthesis was assayed by the deuterium-isotope dilution technique making use of mass fragmentography whereas prostaglandin catabolism was measured by the radioisotope-dilution method described previous (Pace-Asciak, C.R. and Rangaraj, G. (1976) J. Biol. Chem. 251, 3381-3385). Homogenates of lungs from fetuses of all ages tested (40 days to term) formed both prostaglandins E2 and F2alpha; although prostaglandin F2alpha was formed to a greater extent than prostaglandin E2 by the 40 days lung, prostaglandin E2 increased with increasing age until at term the ratio of both prostaglandins approached unity. Total prostaglandin biosynthesis (E2 + F2alpha) rose gradually with age (approx. 3 fold increase between 40 days and term). Prostaglandin F2alpha catabolism occurred mainly by the prostaglandin 15-hydroxy dehydrogenase pathway; this activity was detectable even at 40 days and remained unchanged up to 80 days. Prostaglandin catabolic activity rose sharply at 90 days (approx. 3 fold) with a maximum around 110 days (approx. 4 fold) decreasing back to 40 day levels by term (143 days). The increasing prostaglandin catabolic activity around 90-100 days in this species is discussed in relation to the hemodynamic changes in the lungs starting around this age and the appearance of surfactant. Prostaglandin catabolism might play an important role in the developing organ controlling steady state concentrations of prostaglandins during certain periods of organogenesis. 相似文献

Prostaglandin E2 is converted to 15-keto-13,14 dihydro prostaglandin E2,15-keto-prostaglandin F2 alpha and 15-keto-13,14 dihydro prostaglandin F2 alpha, by supernatants from rat kidney medulla. The main pathway for prostaglandin E2 inactivation is the combined action of 15 hydroxy dehydrogenase and delta 13 reductase enzymes. 9-Keto-reductase route constitutes a minor pathway. Prostaglandin F2 alpha is converted into 15-keto-prostaglandin F2 alpha, 15-keto-13, 14 dihydro prostaglandin F2 alpha and 15-keto-dihydro prostaglandin E2. Enzyme activities are time and substrate-concentration dependent. In the presence of an excess of substrate, rat renal medulla inactivates 40 and 56 times more prostaglandin E2 and prostaglandin F2 alpha, respectively, than the amount which is released under basal conditions. These results are in contrast to the generally accepted concept that the kidney cortex is the sole site of renal prostaglandin catabolism, and suggest, for the first time, that rat renal medulla may be a key site for the modulation of prostaglandin levels in the kidney. 相似文献

1. Adenylate cyclase in plasma membranes from rat liver was stimulated by prostaglandin E1, and to a lesser extent by prostaglandin E2. Prostaglandin F1alpha and A1 did not stimulate the cyclase. The prostaglandin E1-mediated activation was found to require GTP when the substrate ATP concentration was reduced from 3 mM to 0.3 mM in the reaction mixture. Adenylate cyclase of the plasma membranes from rat ascites hepatomas AH-130 and AH-7974 was not stimulated by prostaglandin E1 in the presence or the absence of GTP, although the basal activity of adenylate cyclase as well as its stimulation by GTP alone were similar to normal liver plasma membranes. 2. Liver plasma membranes were found to have two specific binders for [3H] prostaglandin E1 with dissociation constants of 17.6-10(-9) M and 13.6-10(8) M (37 degrees C) and one specific binder for [3H]prostaglandin F2alpha with a dissociation constant of 2.31-10(8) M (37 degrees C). The specific binders for prostaglandin E1 could not be detected in the hepatoma plasma membranes. 3. Binding of [3H] prostaglandin E1 to the liver plasma membranes was exchange by, GTP dGPT, GDP, ATP and GMP-P(N)P, but not by GMP, CGMP, DTTP, UTP or CTP. The increase in the binding of [3H] prostaglandin E1 was found to be due to the increased affinity of the specific binders to prostaglandin F2alpha was not affected by GTP. 4. GTP alone was found to increase V of adenylate cyclase of liver plasma membranes, while GTP plus prostaglandin E1 was found to decrease Km of adenylate cyclase in addition to the increase of V to a further extent. 相似文献

1.Specific radioimmunoassays for the prostaglandins E2, F2alpha and A2 and the metabolites 13,14-dihydro-15-keto-prostaglandin E2, 15-keto-prostaglandin F2alpha and 13,14-dihydro-15-keto-prostaglandin F2alpha were used to study the metabolism of prostaglandins by gastroscopically obtained small biopsy specimens of human gastric fundus mucosa. 2.Three prostaglandin-metabolizing enzymes were found in the 100 000 X g supernatant of human gastric fundus mucosa, 15-hydroxy-prostaglandin-dehydrogenase, delta13-reductase and delta9-reductase. The specific activity was highest for 15-hydroxy-prostaglandin-dehydrogenase and lowest for delta9-reductase. 3.Formation of prostaglandin A2 (or B2) was not observed under the same conditions. 4.None of the three enzyme activities detected in the 100 000 X g supernatant was found in the 10 000 X g and 100 000 X g pellets of human gastric fundus mucosa. 5.The results indicate that high speed supernatant derived from human gastric mucosa can rapidly metabolize prostaglandin E2 and prostaglandin F2alpha to the 15-keto and 13,14-dihydro-15-keto-derivatives. Furthermore, prostaglandin E2 can be converted to prostaglandin F2alpha, the biological activity of which, on gastric functions, differs from that of prostaglandin E2. 相似文献

We studied the uterine venous plasma concentrations of prostaglandins E2, F2 alpha, 15 keto 13,14 dihydro E2 and 15 keto 13,14 dihydro F2 alpha in late pregnant dogs in order to evaluate the rates of production and metabolism of prostaglandin E2 and F2 alpha in pregnancy in vivo. We used a very specific and sensitive gas chromatography-mass spectrometry assay to measure these prostaglandins. The uterine venous concentrations of prostaglandin E2 and 15 keto 13,14 dihydro E2 were 1.35 +/- .27 ng/ml and 1.89 +/- .37 ng/ml, respectively; however, we could not find any prostaglandin F2 alpha and very little of its plasma metabolite in uterine venous plasma. Since uterine microsomes can generate prostaglandin F2 alpha and E2 from endoperoxides, prostaglandin F2 alpha production in vivo must be regulated through an enzymatic step after endoperoxide formation. Prostaglandin E2 is produced by pregnant canine uterus in quantities high enough to have a biological effect in late pregnancy; however, prostaglandin F2 alpha does not appear to play a role at this stage of pregnancy. 相似文献
