Abstract:
The capacity of cultured mesothelial cells to produce prostaglandins from both exogenous an endogenous arachidonic acid has been investigated. Incubations with labelled [1-14C]arachidonic acid and [1-14C]prostaglandin endoperoxide H2 indicated the formation of prostacyclin and prostaglandin E2. Evaluation of the transformation of endogenously released arachidonic acid, however, could only confirm the production of prostacyclin.
