Inhibition of the proliferation of transformed epidermal cells in culture by various prostaglandins.
Cytotoxic action of various prostaglandins (PGs) was examined on the PAM 212 transformed mouse epidermal cell line, and delta 7-PGA1 was found most active. delta 7-PGA1 exerted a dose-dependent inhibition of PAM 212 cell growth over 0.1 microgram/ml (0.3 microM). At 1.6 microgram/ml (4.6 microM) growth was completely inhibited, and the number of viable cells decreased remarkably during culture. The concentration needed for 50% growth inhibition (IC50) value of delta 7-PGA1 on PAM 212 cell growth was calculated as 0.4 microgram/ml (1.1 microM). At this concentration, the DNA synthesis in 24- and 48-h cultured cells was decreased to a half of the level in the control cells, and microscopically, remaining cells showed degenerative changes with many vacuoles in their cytoplasm. Prostaglandin D2, a major PG in mast cells, also showed potent cytotoxic activity. However, this action was expressed as 9-deoxy-delta 9,12-13,14-dihydro-PGD2 (delta 12-PGJ2), which was converted from PGD2 in plasma, and had a 3-fold stronger growth inhibitory activity than PGD2; the IC50 values of PGD2 and delta 12-PGJ2 were 2 micrograms/ml (5.7 microM) and 0.75 microgram/ml (2.1 microM), respectively. Among other PGs tested, PGA2 showed a comparable growth inhibitory activity, and PGB2, PGE1, and PGE2 less but significant activity. Prostaglandin F2 alpha and PGI2 however, had no such effect on cell proliferation at 5 micrograms/ml (14.3 microM) concentration, suggesting that cyclopentenone structure is an essential moiety of PG derivatives for cell growth inhibition. This cytotoxic action of delta 7-PGA1 and delta 12-PGJ2 appears to be independent of cyclic-AMP, since these PGs were virtually inactive in raising intracellular cyclic-AMP levels in PAM 212 cells.
