  • Title: N-myc suppression and cell cycle arrest at G1 phase by prostaglandins.
    Author: Marui N, Sakai T, Hosokawa N, Yoshida M, Aoike A, Kawai K, Nishino H, Fukushima M.
    Journal: FEBS Lett; 1990 Sep 17; 270(1-2):15-8. PubMed ID: 2226777.
    Abstract:
    Effects of cyclopentenone prostaglandins, delta 12-prostaglandin (PG) J2 and PGA2 on the expression of N-myc in relation to the effects on cell cycle progression were investigated using human neuroblastoma cell line GOTO. Both PGs suppressed N-myc expression within several hours prior to inducing G1 arrest. The N-myc suppression with delta 12-PGJ2 was continued but with PGA2 it was gradually released, followed by the release of G1 arrest. These results suggest that delta 12-PGJ2 and PGA2 inhibit cell cycle progression in strong association with N-myc suppression and delta 12-PGJ2 is more potent and has a longer effect than PGA2.
