  • Title: Stimulation of prostaglandin production in rat glomerular epithelial cells by antidiuretic hormone.
    Author: Lieberthal W, Levine L.
    Journal: Kidney Int; 1984 May; 25(5):766-70. PubMed ID: 6088884.
    Abstract:
    Prostacyclin (PGI2) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) production by rat glomerular epithelial cells in culture were stimulated by arginine vasopressin (AVP) over a dose range of 10(-9) to 10(-6) M, but only if the cells were allowed to recover from trypsin treatment. The effect of AVP was related to its pressor activity since the antidiuretic analogue of AVP, 1-deamino-8-D-Arg-vasopressin (dDAVP) had no effect. Angiotensin II and kallidin (lysyl-bradykinin) did not affect prostaglandin production by these cells. The stimulatory effect of AVP on arachidonate metabolism was inhibited by the calcium channel antagonist, nifedipine, in a dose-dependent fashion suggesting that cellular uptake of calcium was required.
