Cell growth inhibition by antitumor prostaglandin and its modulation by MRP/GS-X pump.
摘要:
Regulation of cell growth and proliferation is of fundamental biological interest. Accumulating evidence suggests that arachidonic acid and its metabolites constitute a novel class of intracellular second messengers. The A and J series of prostaglandin (PG; i. e., PGA and PGJ) suppress proliferation of tumor cells in vitro as well as in vivo without affecting intracellular cAMP levels 1 . These antitumor PGs are actively transported into tumor cells 2 and their nuclear accumulation correlates closely with the inhibition of cell growth 3 and the arrest of cell cycle in the G 1 phase 4 . The significance of the antitumor PGs as novel biochemical probes is being strengthened by a newly developed method called "three-component coupling synthesis", which has made it possible to generate large quantities of structurally modified PGs 5,6 . In this study, we used this method to synthesize Δ 7 -PGA 1 methyl ester as a new biochemical probe to study the molecular mechanism in cell growth inhibition by antitumor PGs.
