We compared the effects of prostaglandin D2 (PGD2), prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2) and various ketones on superoxide (OX) release by human neutrophils, which had been stimulated by N-formyl methionyl leucyl phenylalanine (FMLP). Our data suggested that the ring carbonyl of PGD2 is essential to its inhibitory effect on OX release, but the carbonyl group as a ketone, alone is not sufficient. Using the fluorescent Ca2+ probe, Fura-2AM, we found that PGD2 increased the rate of decline of FMLP stimulated intracellular free Ca2+ (Ca)i, but that PGF2 had no effect. cAMP altered FMLP stimulated (Ca)i, in a pattern similar to PGD2. Furthermore, the ring carbonyl of PGD2 is crucial to its effect on OX as well as on (Ca)i. |
