Effect of bradykinin on prostaglandin production by human skin fibroblasts in culture

Journal Article · · Methods Enzymol.; (United States)
In studying the effect of bradykinin on prostaglandin formation in fibroblasts, two general types of assays have been employed. Radioimmunoassays were utilized to determine specific prostaglandins, PGI/sub 2/ and 6-keto-PGF, using tritium as radiolabel. A second procedure involved initial incubation of the fibroblasts with (/sup 14/C)arachidonate and identification and quantification of the metabolites by chromatographic methods. After radiolabelling of fibroblasts with (/sup 14/C)arachidonate, bradykinin was found to release radiolabel from membrane lipids approximately 2-fold. In the presence of bradykinin, there was a close coupling of phospholipase S/sub 2/ activity, arachidonate mobilization, and synthesis of a specific prostaglandin, PGI/sub 2/.
