The in vitro production of prostanoids by cultured bovine articular chondrocytes. 1982

D Mitrovic, and E McCall, and F Dray

Bovine articular chondrocytes, cultured as cell suspensions and monolayers, produced prostaglandin (PG) E2 and PGI2 (assayed as 6 keto PGF1 alpha), rather less PGF2 alpha and irregular quantities of thromboxane (Tx) B2. Addition of foetal calf serum to the medium greatly stimulated PG production (a sixfold increase in PGE2 and a twofold increase in 6 keto PGF1 alpha). Prostanoid production by cell suspensions grown in serum-free medium generally plateaued after 24 hours. In the presence of 20% foetal calf serum, prostanoid production in long-term monolayer cultures increased during the first 6 days of culture. Levels of PGE2 and TxB2 then decreased, while 6 keto PGF1 alpha levels remained high. Indomethacin (10(-6)M) inhibited chondrocyte PG production both in the presence and absence of added arachidonic acid (10(-4)M). Prostanoids produced by chondrocytes may play a role in the modulation of cartilage metabolism in vivo.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007213 Indomethacin A non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent (NSAID) that inhibits CYCLOOXYGENASE, which is necessary for the formation of PROSTAGLANDINS and other AUTACOIDS. It also inhibits the motility of POLYMORPHONUCLEAR LEUKOCYTES. Amuno,Indocid,Indocin,Indomet 140,Indometacin,Indomethacin Hydrochloride,Metindol,Osmosin
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D011453 Prostaglandins A group of compounds derived from unsaturated 20-carbon fatty acids, primarily arachidonic acid, via the cyclooxygenase pathway. They are extremely potent mediators of a diverse group of physiological processes. Prostaglandin,Prostanoid,Prostanoids
D011458 Prostaglandins E (11 alpha,13E,15S)-11,15-Dihydroxy-9-oxoprost-13-en-1-oic acid (PGE(1)); (5Z,11 alpha,13E,15S)-11,15-dihydroxy-9-oxoprosta-5,13-dien-1-oic acid (PGE(2)); and (5Z,11 alpha,13E,15S,17Z)-11,15-dihydroxy-9-oxoprosta-5,13,17-trien-1-oic acid (PGE(3)). Three of the six naturally occurring prostaglandins. They are considered primary in that no one is derived from another in living organisms. Originally isolated from sheep seminal fluid and vesicles, they are found in many organs and tissues and play a major role in mediating various physiological activities. PGE
D011460 Prostaglandins F (9 alpha,11 alpha,13E,15S)-9,11,15-Trihydroxyprost-13-en-1-oic acid (PGF(1 alpha)); (5Z,9 alpha,11,alpha,13E,15S)-9,11,15-trihydroxyprosta-5,13-dien-1-oic acid (PGF(2 alpha)); (5Z,9 alpha,11 alpha,13E,15S,17Z)-9,11,15-trihydroxyprosta-5,13,17-trien-1-oic acid (PGF(3 alpha)). A family of prostaglandins that includes three of the six naturally occurring prostaglandins. All naturally occurring PGF have an alpha configuration at the 9-carbon position. They stimulate uterine and bronchial smooth muscle and are often used as oxytocics. PGF
D011464 Epoprostenol A prostaglandin that is a powerful vasodilator and inhibits platelet aggregation. It is biosynthesized enzymatically from PROSTAGLANDIN ENDOPEROXIDES in human vascular tissue. The sodium salt has been also used to treat primary pulmonary hypertension (HYPERTENSION, PULMONARY).
