RESUMO
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.
