In vitro experiments were performed on mouse spleen cells to establish possible influences of some naturally occurring prostaglandins on DNA synthesis and DNA excision repair. The prostaglandins A1, B1, E1, E2, and F2 alpha were tested in concentrations of lopg, 5 ng and 2.5 microgram per ml cell suspension. DNA synthesis was significantly increased by PgF2 alpha in all the three concentrations tested, while the other tested prostaglandins were essentially ineffective. DNA excision repair was significantly inhibited by PgE1 and PgE2 at 5 ng/ml and at 2.5 microgram/ml but increased by PgF2 alpha in the two lower concentrations. The rejoining of DNA-strand breaks after gamma-irradiation was slightly reduced by PgE1, PgE2 and PgF2 alpha at 2.5 microgram/ml.
