A 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase specific for prostaglandin A in rabbit kidney.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Examination of a soluble fraction derived from homogenates of rabbit kidney papilla revealed the existence of a 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase specific for A-type prostaglandins. Prostaglandins of the E- and F-series were not substrates for this enzyme. In agreement with published data, the 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase(s) derived from the kidney cortex were found to degrade all prostaglandins examined (PGE, PGF, PGA) in the presence of added cofactor NAD. Thus it is evident that in this species the kidney 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenases are anatomically compartmentalized so that the papilla is able to metabpable of degrading E-, F-, and A-type prostaglandins by this metabolic pathway.

Prostaglandin metabolism. II. Identification of two 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase types.
Homogenates of several mammalian tissues were measured by radioimmunoassay for 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase activity. Two types of enzyme activity were detected. One, which used NAD-plus as cofactor much more effectively than NADP-lus, was found in monkey lung, heart, liver, kidney, and spleen and in chicken heart and dog lung. A second type, which uses NADP-plus as a cofactor more eff...

1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25-(OH)2D3] induces the differentiation of monocytes into macrophage-like cells in vitro. To identify the genes expressed during this process, we performed differential display polymerase chain reaction on RNA extracted from cord blood monocytes (CBMs) treated with 1,25-(OH)2D3. Treated CBMs expressed type-I 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (type-I 15-PGDH), the...
متن کاملRebamipide, a mucoprotective drug, inhibits NSAIDs-induced gastric mucosal injury: possible involvement of the downregulation of 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase
Prostaglandin E(2) plays an important role in the maintenance of gastric mucosal integrity. The level of biologically active prostaglandin E(2) in the tissue is regulated by the balanced expression of its synthetic enzymes, such as cyclooxygenase, and its catabolic enzyme, 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase. We examined the effect of rebamipide, a mucoprotective drug, on prostaglandin E(2) p...

We have applied methods to pig placentae that allow the preparation of 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.141) from human placentae (Braithwaite & Jarabak, 1975; Schlegel & Creep, 1975). The sows (Sus scrofa) were Large White inseminated with Landrace semen (two animals), or Landrace x Large White F, hybrids inseminated with Landrace semen (one animal). In the former two animals, l...
متن کاملNicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-dependent 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase activity in hydatidiform mole tissue and choriocarcinoma cells.
Prostaglandins may occupy an important role in viral and chemical carcinogen-induced neoplasia. To evaluate the possible role of prostaglandin catabolism in neoplastic cells, we measured nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-dependent 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase activity in hydatidiform mole tissue and in choriocarcinoma cells maintained in monolayer culture. The specific activity of nico...
