Renal haemodynamics, sodium and water reabsorption during continuous intravenous infusion of recombinant interleukin-2.
    Clinical science (London, England : 1979), 1998, Volume: 95, Issue:1

    1. Renal haemodynamics, lithium and sodium clearance were measured in 14 patients treated with recombinant interleukin-2 for metastatic renal cell carcinoma. 2. Patients were studied before and after 72 h of continuous intravenous infusion of recombinant interleukin-2 (18x10(6) i.u..24 h-1.m-2) and 48 h post therapy. Cardiac output was measured by impedance cardiography. Effective renal plasma flow and glomerular filtration rate were determined by the renal clearances of 131I-hippuran and 99mTc-diethylenetriaminepenta-acetic acid (DTPA) respectively. Renal clearance of lithium (CLi) was used as an index of proximal tubular outflow. 3. Treatment caused a transient decrease in mean arterial blood pressure and systemic vascular resistance, but cardiac output remained unchanged. Renal blood flow decreased and renal vascular resistance increased during and after treatment. Sodium clearance decreased from 1.10 (0.63/1.19) ml/min to 0.17 (0.18/0.32) ml/min (P=0.003). Glomerular filtration rate remained unchanged, whereas the median CLi decreased from 26 (17/32) ml/min to 17 (10/21) ml/min (P=0.008). Calculated absolute proximal reabsorption rate of water increased from 63 (40/69) ml/min to 71 (47/82) ml/min (P=0.04). The urinary excretion rate of thromboxane B2 and the ratio between excretion rates of thromboxane B2 and 6-keto-prostaglandin-F1alpha increased by 98% (P=0.022) and 175% (P=0.022) respectively. 4. The study suggests a specific recombinant interleukin-2-induced renal vasoconstrictor effect. Changes in renal prostaglandin synthesis may contribute to the decrease in renal blood flow. The lithium clearance data suggest that an increased proximal tubular reabsorption rate may contribute to the decreased sodium clearance during recombinant interleukin-2 treatment.

Some features of the metastatic cancer cells in prostaglandin production.
    The Tohoku journal of experimental medicine, 1989, Volume: 159, Issue:1

    In order to establish metastatic lesions, 2.5 x 10(6) AH100B cells were injected into the left carotid artery of male Donryu rats. Each metastatic nodule in the liver or kidney, 1 mm or less in diameter, thus obtained was then injected into the peritoneal cavity in which these metastatic cells come to free. About 3 weeks later, each ascites was collected from the rats, while not bloody. Then, cancer cells obtained from each ascites were suspended in Dulbecco's PBS without Ca2+ and Mg2+ (pH 7.2) after washing. Then, 10(6) metastasized or control cancer cells were incubated in 0.1 ml of PBS mentioned above together with 0.1 microCi of (1-14C)-AA at 24 degrees C for 3 min, respectively. After the extraction procedure, AA metabolites formed were separated by means of TLC, and each TLC plate was subjected to autoradiography. In the metastasized cells, PG production ability was generally accelerated and especially in that of PGF2 alpha as compared with that of the control.

Arachidonic acid metabolites in a nephroblastoma associated with paraneoplastic hypercalcemia.
    Prostaglandins, 1986, Volume: 32, Issue:1

    Blood concentration of PGE2, F2a, 6 keto PGF1a (6kF1a), TxB2 and 13, 14 dehydro 15 keto PGE2 (13, 14 OH 15 k E2) were measured in renal artery and vein of a patient with a PGs producing nephroblastoma. The tumor tissue produced PGs in the following order: PGF2a greater than PGE2 greater than TxB2 greater than 6kF1a greater than 13, 14 OH 15 k E2. However, renal artery concentration of the substances were as follows: 13, 14 OH 15 k E2 greater than TxB2 greater than 6kF1a greater than PGF2a greater than PGE2. Since arterial concentration is critical to postulating a calcium mobilizing effect on bone tissue, PGE2 arterial level seems to be too low to exert a pathogenetic role on hypercalcemia, at least in the patient reported here.

Prostaglandin levels in human renal venous blood during renal arteriography.
    European journal of radiology, 1986, Volume: 6, Issue:2

    In view of the possible role of prostaglandins (PG) and thromboxane (TX) in the disturbances of renal function and blood flow after the injection of diatrizoate into the renal artery, we have determined the levels of PGE2, 6-keto-PGF1 alpha (a stable metabolite of prostacyclin) and TXB2 in the renal venous blood before, during and after renal arteriography in 12 patients. Radioimmunologically assayed PGE2 was the most abundant prostaglandin in renal venous blood. Lower basal levels of PGs were associated with renal adenocarcinomas or other tumours than non-tumour kidneys. The concentrations of 6-keto-PGF1 alpha and PGF2 alpha rapidly increased after diatrizoate injection and returned to the basal levels within 5 minutes. Slower elevation was noticed in the PGF2 level of 5 tumour kidneys. Renal plasma concentration of TXB2 remained unchanged throughout the study. The rapid elevation of renal venous prostacyclin and PGF2 alpha concentration after the contrast injection may reflect the enhanced intrarenal prostaglandin synthesis or may be secondary to hemodynamic changes in the kidney caused by hypertonic diatrizoate.
