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

Enrichment of endothelial cell arachidonate by lipid transfer from high density lipoproteins: relationship to prostaglandin I2 synthesis 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We have previously shown that plasma high density lipoproteins (HDL) stimulate release of prostacyclin, measured as its stable metabolite, 6-keto-PGF1 alpha, by cultured porcine aortic endothelial cells. The present experiments were designed to elucidate the contribution of HDL lipids to endothelial cellular phospholipid pools and to prostacyclin synthesis. In experiments with reconstituted HDL, both the lipid and protein moieties were required to stimulate prostacyclin release in amounts equivalent to the native HDL particle. Endothelial cells incorporated label from reconstituted HDL containing cholesteryl [1-14C]arachidonate into the cellular neutral and phospholipid pools as well as into 6-keto-PGF1 alpha and PGE2. Labeled arachidonate incorporated into endothelial cell lipids from reconstituted HDL containing cholesteryl [1-14C]arachidonate was also metabolized to prostaglandins after the cells were exposed to the calcium ionophore, A-23187. Both rat and human HDL which stimulated 6-keto-PGF1 alpha release (rat greater than human) increased the weight percentage of arachidonate in endothelial cell phospholipids; phospholipid arachidonate in the enriched cells fell after exposure to the phospholipase activator, A-23187, with release of 6-keto-PGF1 alpha which was greater than in control cells. Rat HDL that was depleted of cholesteryl arachidonate (achieved by incubation with human low density lipoproteins (LDL) in the presence of cholesteryl ester transfer protein) stimulated 6-keto-PGF1 alpha release less than native rat HDL. LDL enriched in cholesteryl arachidonate stimulated 6-keto-PGF1 alpha release more than native LDL. ApoE-depleted HDL also stimulated 6-keto-PGF1 alpha release more than apoE-rich HDL suggesting the apoE receptor was not involved in the response.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Effects of calcium and parathyroid hormone on prostacyclin synthesis by vascular tissue 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Prostacyclin generation by rat aortic rings was studied at different calcium concentrations. Extracellular calcium influenced prostacyclin synthesis, as reflected by the release of 6-keto-PGF1 alpha into the medium, in a concentration-dependent fashion. Calcium levels beyond the physiological range (1.12-1.25 mM unbound calcium) markedly stimulated 6-keto-PGF1 alpha production when compared with calcium-free solutions. On the other hand, addition of purified parathyroid hormone did not change 6-keto-PGF1 alpha production at any calcium concentration tested. These data suggest that parathyroid hormone has no direct effect on prostacyclin synthesis by vascular tissue, although it might influence prostacyclin generation through changes in extracellular calcium levels. 相似文献

Prostacyclin, prostaglandin F2 alpha and progesterone production by bovine luteal cells during the estrous cycle 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Corpora lutea (CL) were collected from Holstein heifers on Days 5, 10, 15 and 18 (5/day) of the estrous cycle. Dispersed luteal cell preparations were made and 10(6) viable luteal cells were incubated with bovine luteinizing hormone (LH) and different amounts of arachidonic acid in the presence and absence of the prostaglandin (PG) synthetase inhibitor indomethacin. The concentrations of progesterone, PGF2 alpha and 6-keto-PGF1 alpha, the stable inactive metabolite of prostacyclin (PGI2), were measured. Day 5 CL had the greatest initial content of 6-keto-PGF1 alpha (1.01 +/- 0.16 ng/10(6) cells), and synthesized more 6-keto-PGF1 alpha (2.55 +/- 0.43) than CL collected on Days 10 (0.57 +/- 0.11), 15 (0.08 +/- 0.05) and 18 (0.19 +/- 0.03) during a 2-h incubation period. Arachidonic acid stimulated the production of 6-keto-PGF1 alpha by Days 10, 15 and 18 luteal tissue. PGF2 alpha was produced at a greater rate on Day 5 (0.69 +/- 0.17 ng/10(6) cells) than on Days 10 (0.06 +/- 0.01), 15 (0.04 +/- 0.02) and 18 (0.08 +/- 0.01). Arachidonic acid stimulated and indomethacin inhibited the production of PGF2 alpha, in most cases. The initial content of 6-keto-PGF1 alpha was higher than that of PGF2 alpha on all days of the cycle and more 6-keto-PGF1 alpha was synthesized in response to arachidonic acid addition. The ratio of 6-keto-PGF1 alpha content to PGF2 alpha content was 4.39, 2.30, 1.25 and 1.13 on Days 5, 10, 15 and 18, respectively.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Slices of rat aorta were incubated in Krebs-Ringer bicarbonate buffer for measurements of immunoreactive 6-ketoprostaglandin F1 alpha, thromboxane (TX) B2, prostaglandin (PG)E2, and PGF2 alpha, and in Tris buffer (pH 9.3) for determination of prostacyclin (PGI2)-like activity. No significant generation of TXB2, PGE2, or PGF2 alpha by rat aortic tissue could be detected. The time-dependent release of 6-keto-PGF1 alpha Krebs-Ringer bicarbonate buffer closely correlated with PGI2 generation in alkaline Tris buffer. During a 30-min incubation period, 6-keto-PGF1 alpha, release was 79.8 +/- 3.3 pmol/mg at a buffer potassium concentration of 3.9 mmol/liter and significantly increased by 23% to 98.3 +/- 8.5 pmol/mg (P less than 0.025) in the absence of potassium in the incubation medium. A smaller decrease in buffer potassium concentration to 2.1 mmol/liter and an increase to 8.8 mmol/liter did not significantly alter aortic 6-keto-PGF1 alpha release. Changes in the incubation buffer sodium concentration from 144 mmol/liter to either 138 or 150 mmol/liter at a constant potassium concentration of 3.9 mmol/liter did not alter the recovery of 6-keto-PGF1 alpha. Our results support the concept that PGI2 is the predominant product of arachidonic acid metabolism in rat aorta. They further show that PGI2 can be recovered quantitatively as 6-keto-PGF1 alpha under the present in vitro conditions. In addition, this in vitro study points to the potassium ion as a modulator of vascular PGI2 synthesis with a stimulation at low potassium concentrations. 相似文献

The prostanoid production and the effect of indomethacin on the noradrenaline-induced contractions were studied in the mesenteric bed of rats at different times (1-8 weeks) after the administration of streptozotocin (STZ). The production of prostacyclin (measured as 6-keto-PGF1alpha) and prostaglandin (PG) E2 was unchanged one week after STZ, but it was reduced to 50% of control values 4 weeks after STZ without further changes 8 weeks after the treatment. The release of thromboxane (TX) A2 (measured as TXB2) and PGF2alpha, increased by 100% one week after STZ and returned to basal values at 3 weeks. TX release was below control values 8 weeks after STZ. The ratio 6-keto-PGF1alpha/TXB2 was reduced one week after STZ, recovered to control values at 4 weeks and augmented at 8 weeks. Indomethacin (10 microM) reduced the contractile responses to noradrenaline in the controls, whereas in STZ-treated rats this effect was observed solely 8 weeks after the treatment. Since this recovery coincided with an increase of the vasodilator/vasoconstrictor prostanoid ratio, a time-dependent compensation of the vascular alterations caused by STZ can be proposed from the present results. 相似文献

The activity of 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase has been shown to be high in both mesenteric arteries and veins; the present study suggests that it may be responsible for the inactivation of prostacyclin (PGI2). The cytoplasmic fractions of bovine mesenteric arteries and veins were incubated with radiolabeled PGI2 in the presence of NAD+ or NADP+. The substrate was rapidly converted to a product, which was isolated and identified as 6,15-diketo prostaglandin F1alpha, (6,15-diketo-PGF1alpha) by thin layer chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The initial reaction rate began to level off after less than 1 min of incubation at 37 degrees C. When radiolabeled 6-keto-PGF1alpha, the stable hydrolysis product of PGI2, was used as substrate under the same conditions, 97% was recovered unmetabolized after 2 min of incubation. Catabolism of PGI2 may be a major determinant of its levels in blood vessels and, therefore, may be of crucial importance to regulating the action of PGI2. Further, estimation of PGI2 generation by either tissues or organs may be misleading if only 6-keto-PGF1alpha is measured. 相似文献

Oestrous rats and golden hamsters were anesthetized with pentobarbital, one of the femoral arteries and veins and one of the ovarian veins were cannulated. Blood fractions were collected from the ovary. After the first two fractions synthetic adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) or human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) was injected i.v. Blood pressures and ovarian blood flow were continuously recorded. Progesterone (P) and oestradiol-17 beta (E2) were determined from the ovarian venous blood by radioimmunoassay (RIA). ACTH induced a temporary elevation in the ovarian blood flow, P and E2 secretion both in rats and hamsters. In rats and hamsters hCG induced a continuous elevation in P secretion but the ovarian blood flow and E2 secretion remained unchanged. Luteal cells from pseudopregnant rats or oestrous hamsters were dispersed with collagenase and incubated with ACTH or hCG. A sample of the cells was preincubated with polymixin-B, indomethacin or ibuprofen. P and 6-keto-prostaglandin F1 alpha (6-keto-PGF1 alpha) contents of the medium and cyclic 3,5 adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) content of the cells were determined by RIA. ACTH stimulated the release of 6-keto-PGF1 alpha and the secretion of P from the luteal cells of both species, which was inhibited by indomethacin or ibuprofen, but ACTH did not alter the cAMP content of luteal cells. The polymixin-B prevented ACTH to stimulate P secretion, but it did not elevate the 6-keto-PGF1 alpha release, while the cAMP content of the cells remained unchanged. It is supposed that the polyphosphoinositol-Ca(2+)-protein kinase-C second messenger system is involved in the ACTH induced stimulation of P secretion. 相似文献

The plasma concentration of 6-keto-PGF1 alpha, the stable degradation product of prostacyclin, was similar in the radial and pulmonary arteries and in the coronary sinus before and after the induction of the anesthesia in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery. After the beginning of the mechanical ventilation and anesthesia the pulmonary vascular resistance decreased although no changes were detected in the plasma levels of 6-keto-PGF1 alpha or TXB2. During the prebypass period after the sternotomy and cannulation of the large vessels the plasma level of 6-keto-PGF1 alpha was increased similarly in the radial and pulmonary arteries and even more in the coronary sinus. During the cardiopulmonary bypass the concentration of 6-keto-PGF1 alpha remained at the increased level as compared to the values before the anesthesia. This indicates that pulmonary circulation is perhaps not the main source of prostacyclin in man. The plasma level of TXB2 was increased during the prebypass period significantly only in the coronary sinus, but during the bypass also in the radial artery. The concentration ratio of 6-keto-PGF1 alpha/TXB2 was increased significantly during the prebypass period in the radial and pulmonary arteries. At the same time the pulmonary vascular resistance was, however, returned to the preanesthesia level and was thus not decreased. The vascular resistance in the systemic circulation was increased during the prebypass period. The plasma level of 6-keto-PGF1 alpha or TXB2 in the radial and pulmonary arteries did not correlate significantly with the total vascular resistance in the systemic and pulmonary circulation, respectively. The vascular resistance in the coronary circulation did not correlate significantly with TXB2 level in the radial artery or coronary sinus. There was, however, a slight positive correlation between the blood flow and the concentration of TXB2 in the coronary sinus (r = 0.76, P less than 0.01). Coronary sinus flow did, however, not correlate with the plasma level of 6-keto-PGF1 alpha in the radial artery or coronary sinus. These results indicate that the detected plasma concentrations of prostacyclin and thromboxane A2 have no significant effects on the total vascular resistance in vivo. 相似文献

The effects of low dose indomethacin therapy in primary prevention of diet-induced atherosclerosis of rhesus monkeys was studied. The parameters studied were serum cholesterol concentration, thromboxane A2 (T x B2), prostacyclin (6-keto-PGF1 alpha) in serum/plasma, and the extent and intensity of coronary atherosclerosis. Although indomethacin did not affect serum cholesterol, it reduced serum T x B2 significantly (P less than 0.01). Plasma 6-keto-PGF1 alpha was not restored to the pretreatment level. A significant protective role of the drug was noted as far as coronary atherosclerosis is concerned (P less than 0.01). 相似文献

The effects of specific human platelet-secreted proteins on prostacyclin (PGI2) production by primary cultures of bovine aortic endothelial cells have been studied. Cells were incubated with various concentrations of highly purified preparations of platelet factor 4 (PF4), low-affinity platelet factor 4 (LA-PF4), beta-thromboglobulin (beta TG), platelet basic protein (PBP), and partially purified platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) in the presence or absence of arachidonic acid (AA). The amount of 6-Keto-PGF1 alpha, the stable degradation product of PGI2, was determined in the cell incubation medium by means of a specific radioimmunoassay. Short-term (15 min) incubation of cell monolayers with either LA-PF4 or beta TG slightly reduced 6-keto-PGF1 alpha production. The effect was not dose-related and could not be observed after prolonged (24 hr) incubation of the cells with the same proteins. It was not seen in the cell suspensions. Moreover, 6-keto-PGF1 alpha production stimulated by AA was not affected by incubation with either of the proteins. PF4 and PBP had no significant effect on 6-keto-PGF1 alpha production by endothelial cells. Human PDGF showed a slight tendency to stimulate 6-keto-PGF1 alpha release when cells were incubated for 24 hr with the protein; however, PDGF did not potentiate the stimulatory effect of AA on 6-keto-PGF1 alpha release by the cells. We suggest that platelet-derived proteins exert only a moderate and possibly nonspecific effect on PGI2 production by endothelial cells. 相似文献

Stimulated monocytes produce prostaglandins that may play a role in bone resorption. We studied the effects of salmon calcitonin (sCT) on human monocyte production of various prostaglandin metabolites. Latex particle-stimulated human monocyte production of prostaglandin E2, thromboxane A2 measured as thromboxane B2, and prostacyclin measured as 6-keto-PGF1 alpha was each increased in the presence of sCT. This effect required surface stimulation, was blocked by indomethacin, was less marked with equivalent concentrations of human calcitonin, and was not seen with parathyroid hormone. Calcitonin specifically affects prostaglandin pathways in stimulated human monocytes. 相似文献

The effects of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) and indomethacin (IND) on the epinephrine and oxytocin stimulated contractility and prostaglandin (6-keto-PGF1 alpha, PGF2 alpha) production of superfused myometrial strips from the pregnant human uterus at term are reported. Without preincubation in ASA or IND epinephrine dose-dependently (10 ng/ml to 1 microgram/ml) stimulated the contractility and significantly increased the PG-release of the myometrial strips. The epinephrine induced increase in contractility was correlated to a higher increase in PGF2a production and a decreased 6-keto-PGF1 alpha/PGF2 alpha ratio (5.4 to 1.8). Superfusion of oxytocin increased myometrial contractions and PGF2 alpha release according to dose (3-12 microU/ml). However, 6-keto-PGF1 alpha production was not affected by oxytocin. Myometrial strips preincubated with ASA (100 micrograms/ml) or IND (10 micrograms/ml) demonstrated little spontaneous activity and the PG production was below the detection limit of the RIA. The stimulating effect of epinephrine and oxytocin on the contractility and PGF2 alpha release of the myometrial strips was inhibited significantly. During continuous superfusion of the ASA and IND preincubated myometrial strips with Tyrode's solution the inhibitory effect on spontaneous, epinephrine-, and oxytocin-stimulated contractility and PGF2 alpha release gradually declined over a period of 2 hours. This decrease of the inhibitory effect was more significant in ASA preincubated specimens. Our results demonstrate that spontaneous, epinephrine-, and oxytocin-stimulated contractility and PG release of human myometrial strips can be inhibited by ASA and IND and that this inhibitory effect is reversible. Furthermore our results suggest that in pregnant human myometrium the inhibition of PGF2 alpha production by ASA and IND is more pronounced than that of 6-keto-PGF1 alpha (PGI2). 相似文献

Selective inhibition of arachidonic acid metabolite release from human lung tissue by antiinflammatory steroids 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

The effects of antiinflammatory steroids on arachidonic acid metabolite release from human lung fragments were analyzed. Incubation of lung fragments for 24 hr with 10(-6) M dexamethasone inhibited the net release of the prostacyclin metabolite 6-keto-PGF1 alpha, PGE2, and PGF2 alpha from lung fragments stimulated with anti-IgE but failed to inhibit the anti-IgE-induced release of PGD2, TXB2, and iLTC4. The IC50 of dexamethasone for inhibition of both spontaneous and anti-IgE-induced 6-keto-PGF1 alpha release was approximately 2 X 10(-8) M, and a 6-hr preincubation with the drug was required for 50% inhibition of prostaglandin release. Other agents were tested for activity in stimulating arachidonic acid metabolite release from human lung fragments. FMLP (fmet-leu-phe) stimulated the release of all metabolites tested (6-keto-PGF1 alpha, PGD2, PGE2, PGF2 alpha, TXB2, iLTC4); platelet-activating factor (PAF), but not lysoPAF, stimulated the release of PGD2, TXB2, and iLTC4. In contrast to the case with anti-IgE, where dexamethasone failed to inhibit net PGD2 and TXB2 release, the steroid inhibited the release of these metabolites stimulated by both FMLP and PAF. The steroid inhibited iLTC4 release induced by the highest concentration of PAF (10(-6)M) but did not inhibit iLTC4 release stimulated by either 10(-7) M PAF, FMLP, or anti-IgE. Because neither FMLP nor PAF caused the release of PGD2 or TXB2 from purified human lung mast cells, and because they also failed to induce histamine release from lung fragments, it is suggested that these stimuli produce PGD2 and TXB2 release in lung fragments through an action on a cell distinct from the mast cell. This suggestion is supported by the selective inhibition of the release of these arachidonic acid metabolites by dexamethasone. We suggest that the inhibitory action of steroids on arachidonic acid metabolite in human lung fragments contributes to their therapeutic efficacy in pulmonary diseases. 相似文献

Prostaglandins and thromboxane outflow from the perfused mesenteric vascular bed in spontaneously hypertensive rats 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
To clarify the metabolism of PGE2, prostacyclin (PGI2) and thromboxane A2 (TxA2) in small vessels in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), we removed superior mesenteric vascular beds from 10 week old SHR and age matched normotensive controls (WKY). The mesenteric artery was perfused with Krebs-Henseleit buffer and samples of effluent collected every 15 minutes during 3 hours perfusion for analysis of PGE2, 6-keto-PGF1 alpha (a stable metabolite of PGI2) and TxB2 (a stable metabolite of TxA2) by specific radioimmunoassays. Levels of all three arachidonic acid (AA) metabolites, PGE2, 6-keto-PGF1 alpha and TxB2, in the mesenteric effluent were significantly reduced in SHR as compared to WKY. TxB2 was detected in all samples throughout the perfusion. 6-keto-PGF1 alpha/PGE2 ratios and TxB2/PGE2 ratios were significantly increased in SHR. 6-keto-PGF1 alpha/TxB2 ratios in the first four samples were significantly decreased in SHR as compared to WKY. These data suggest that there may be reduced availability of PG precusor AA and unbalanced synthesis of PGs in small vessels in SHR. Both may have relevance to the development of hypertension in the animals. 相似文献

Correlation between thrombin-induced prostacyclin production and inositol trisphosphate and cytosolic free calcium levels in cultured human endothelial cells 总被引:23,自引:0,他引:23
E A Jaffe J Grulich B B Weksler G Hampel K Watanabe 《The Journal of biological chemistry》1987,262(18):8557-8565
Cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) stimulated with thrombin are known to synthesize prostacyclin at least in part from arachidonate released by phospholipase A2, an enzyme directly activated by calcium. In this study, thrombin stimulation of Quin 2-loaded HUVEC caused rapid and dose-dependent rises in inositol trisphosphate (IP3) and cytosolic free calcium (Ca2+i) levels which preceded a similarly dose-dependent rise in prostacyclin production measured as 6-ketoprostaglandin F1 alpha (6-keto-PGF1 alpha) by radioimmunoassay (ED50 = 0.6-0.7 units/ml for all three effects). Thrombin induced these effects in the absence of extracellular calcium (EGTA) or in the presence of either 8-bromo-cAMP or the calmodulin inhibitor W7. Thrombin inactivated with either diisopropyl fluorophosphate or D-Phe-Pro-Arg-chloromethyl ketone was inactive. In contrast, Quin 2-loaded cultured bovine aortic endothelial cells failed to respond to thrombin, although stimulation with trypsin elevated IP3 and Ca2+i levels and increased 6-keto-PGF1 alpha production. Restimulation of HUVEC with thrombin or histamine 5 min after an initial stimulation with thrombin (2 units/ml for 5 min) failed to induce a second rise in either IP3 or Ca2+i levels or further production of 6-keto-PGF1 alpha, whereas restimulation with ionomycin in the presence or absence of extracellular calcium elevated Ca2+i levels and induced further 6-keto-PGF1 alpha production. However, if the initial stimulation with thrombin was terminated by addition of D-Phe-Pro-Arg-chloromethyl ketone within 10-60 s, restimulation with a second dose of thrombin induced second rises in both IP3 and Ca2+i levels and additional 6-keto-PGF1 alpha production that were greatest when the initial thrombin stimulus was briefest. These results are consistent with the conclusion that IP3 acts as a second messenger by which thrombin elevates Ca2+i levels and initiates prostacyclin synthesis in HUVEC and that in vivo endothelial cells may be stimulated multiple times to synthesize prostacyclin if each period of stimulation is brief. 相似文献

Confluent monolayers of bovine aortic endothelial cells were examined 2-72 h after exposure to 0.5-5.0 Gy of 60Co gamma-rays. Accumulation of prostacyclin [PGI2, measured as 6-ketoprostaglandin F1 alpha (6-keto-PGF1 alpha)] in the culture media and PGI2 production stimulated by exogenous arachidonate were correlated with cell detachment and release of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity. Platelet adherence to irradiated and control monolayers also was studied. There were simultaneous time- and dose-dependent increases in cell detachment and in the titers of 6-keto-PGF1 alpha and LDH activity in the culture medium. These changes were evident between 4 and 8 h after 5 Gy or at 24 h after 0.5 Gy. Four hours after 5 Gy, both adherent and detached endothelial cells showed a twofold increase in PGI2 production during a 15-min incubation with arachidonate (10 microM). However, by 72 h this increase was less significant. The accumulation of 6-keto-PGF1 alpha appeared to be related to cell destruction, but radiation also stimulated PGI2 synthesis independent of cell detachment. There was an increased platelet interaction with irradiated monolayers, as a result of platelet adherence to subendothelial matrix exposed after cell detachment. However, irradiation did not alter the nonadherent property of the endothelial cell surface toward platelets. 相似文献

The relationships between changes in intracellular Ca2+ and smooth muscle tension triggered by endothelin-1 and the selective endothelin ETB receptor agonist sarafotoxin S6c, as well as their susceptibility to modification by the nonselective cyclooxygenase blocker indomethacin, were assessed in guinea pig isolated gallbladder strips. Cumulative additions of either agonist (1, 10, and 100 nM) induced simultaneous graded, strongly correlated, slowly developing, and sustained changes in tension and intracellular Ca+2 (Fura-2 technique). Sarafotoxin S6c was more effective than endothelin-1 in raising intracellular Ca2+ at 1 or 10 nM, but their abilities to cause contractions were similar at all concentrations. Indomethacin (5.6 microM) markedly inhibited the changes in both intracellular Ca2+ and tension caused by all concentrations of sarafotoxin S6c (in response to 100 nM, increases in Ca2+ fluorescence intensity and tension were inhib ited from 7.7 +/- 0.7 to 4.0 +/- 0.4% and from 460 +/- 100 to 160 +/- 40 mg, respectively) but only reduced the contraction triggered by 100 nM endothelin-1 (from 560 +/- 100 to 230 +/- 70 mg). Endothelin-1 caused greater prostacyclin release from gallbladder than sarafotoxin S6c (at 100 nM, 6-keto-PGF1alpha levels in the medium rose 4.8- and 2.8-fold, respectively; P < 0.05) and slightly increased thromboxane A2 release (1.6-fold; P < 0.05). Thus, gallbladder contractions triggered by combined ETA/ETB or selective ETB receptor stimulation (with endothelin-1 or sarafotoxin S6c, respectively) are strongly correlated with increases in intracellular Ca2+ but differentially affected by indomethacin. It remains to be assessed if this difference is because endothelin-1 triggers greater prostacyclin release than sarafotoxin S6c and (or) is due to the coupling of ETA and ETB receptors to distinct patterns of generation of cyclooxygenase-derived eicosanoids. 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
K Bj?ro 《Prostaglandins》1986,31(4):699-714
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

We have previously shown that there is an acute increase in anastomotic bronchial blood flow (Qbr) after pulmonary arterial obstruction in dogs. We examined the role of arachidonic acid metabolites in mediating this increase. The left lower lobe (LLL) was isolated and perfused (zone 2) with autologous blood in open-chested anesthetized dogs (n = 19). Qbr was measured from the amount of blood that overflowed from the closed vascular circuit of the suspended LLL and changes in its weight. In the control animals, there was a prompt and significant increase in Qbr following pulmonary arterial obstruction. Pretreatment with indomethacin (n = 6) or sodium salicylate (n = 4) almost completely blocked this rise in Qbr. Following pulmonary arterial occlusion, there was a rise in both thromboxane and a prostacyclin metabolite (6-keto-PGF1 alpha) in the blood of the pulmonary circulation of the LLL, although the 6-keto-PGF1 alpha rose relatively more. Pretreatment with indomethacin caused a fall in both thromboxane and prostacyclin levels (n = 3), which no longer rose after pulmonary arterial occlusion. These findings suggested that the balance of the vasodilator (prostacyclin) and vasoconstrictor (thromboxane) prostaglandins may play an important role in mediating the rise in Qbr that follows pulmonary arterial obstruction. 相似文献
