Prostaglandin biosynthesis by rabbit renomedullary interstitial cells in tissue culture. Stimulation by angiotensin II, bradykinin, and arginine vasopressin.

Abstract

Rabbit renomedullary interstitial cells were isolated and grown in tissue culture. These cells synthesize 0.8 ng of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) per microgram cellular protein per hour in monolayer tissue culture; prostaglandins A2 and F2alpha (PGA2 and PGF2alpha) biosynthesis was 10 and 5% of PGE2 biosynthesis, respectively. Arachidonic acid markedly stimulated the production of PGE2 and PGF2alpha, with conversion rates of 0.24 and 0.02%/h, respectively. Angiotensin II, hyperosmolality, bradykinin, and arginine vasopressin each stimulated PGE2 biosynthesis; maximum stimulation was 20, 3.7, 3.6, and 3.2 times basal production, respectively. PGE2 biosynthesis by the renomedullary interstitial cells was inhibited by isoproterenol, potassium, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents (indomethacin, naproxen, ibuprofen, suprofen, meclofenamate, and acetylsalicylic acid), mepacrine (a phospholipase inhibitor), hydrocortisone, and cortisone. The rabbit renomedullary interstitial cell in tissue culture is a model system for the study of hormonal regulation of PGE2 biosynthesis.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.

Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
