“…PMA did increase PGE2 levels, an effect that has been described in Madin-Darby canine kidney cells (19), and would tend to block the effects of AVP (13,20). Nonetheless, inhibition ofAVP-stimulated transport persisted even when the tissues were incubated with sufficient naproxen to block prostaglandin synthesis completely.…”

“…This pattern of response would suggest that the inhibitory effect of PMA on forskolin-stimulated flow is not a direct one, but instead is secondary to increased prostaglandin production. To eliminate effects of PMA via metabolites of arachidonic acid other than prostaglandins, we performed transport experiments in the presence of mepacrine, a phospholipase inhibitor that prevents the release ofarachidonic acid from phospholipids (20). In the presence of mepacrine (0.1 mM), PMA (200 ng/ml) also decreased water flow in response to AVP (1 mU/ml) from 20±3 to 14±2 ul/min; n = 12; P < 0.05.…”

“…In liver, PGE 2 also inhibits adenylate cyclase activity and decreases glucagon-stimulated glycogenolysis (33,34). In kidney, PGE 2 has been shown to decrease cAMP levels and vasopressin-induced water resorption by the collecting tubules (35)(36)(37). In skeletal muscle, the greater abundance of the EP1 and EP2 receptor types is consistent with the reported effects of PGE 2 to influence both contraction and relaxation of muscle fibers (14).…”

“…PGs converted from PGH2, only PGE2 inhibited the water flow at 10-8 M, but PGD2, PGF2a, and PGI2 were incapable of this even at 10 -' M. Concerning endogenous prostaglandins in the toad bladder, the synthesis of both PGE2 and PGF2a was stimulated by vasopressin (ZUSMAN et al, 1977;BURCH et al, 1979). That PGH2 has an effect at 10-' M indicates PGE2 physiologically inhibits vasopressin action while PGF2a has merely a pharmacological effect.…”

“…They reported that 10 -5 M PGE2 increased cyclic AMP content and kinase ratio even more than vasopressin but had no effect on the rate of water flow, and that 5 mU/ml vasopressin and 10 -5 M PGE2 when added together, increased the water flow but had no effect on cyclic AMP content or the kinase ratio compared to that of PGE2 when administered alone. ZUSMAN et al (1977) were the first to report that vasopressin stimulates PGE2 biosynthesis in the toad bladder, and that 1 mU/ml vasopressin increases PGE2 synthesis from 0.5 + 0.1 pmoles/min • hemibladder to 5.0 + 0.4. In a recent study, it was found that when PGE2 biosynthesis in the toad bladder was at a basal level of 0.22 + 0.01 pmoles/min • hemibladder, it was stimulated 5 times as much as by Japanese Journal of Physiology vasopressin (BURCH et al, 1980) and when at a basal level of 0.27 + 0.05 pmoles/ min mg prot., it was stimulated by 5 mU/ml vasopressin to 0.53 + 0.09 (BURCH and HALUSHKA, 1982).…”
