  • Title: Glucocorticoids and prostaglandins inhibit the induction of macrophage DNA synthesis by macrophage growth factor and phorbol ester.
    Author: Hamilton JA.
    Journal: J Cell Physiol; 1983 Apr; 115(1):67-74. PubMed ID: 6601110.
    Abstract:
    The tumor-promoting phorbol ester, 12-0-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA), stimulates starch-elicited mouse peritoneal macrophages to undergo DNA synthesis in vitro, apparently without the generation of an endogenous macrophage growth factor (MGF). No evidence was found for any synergistic interaction between TPA and exogenous colony stimulating factors (CSFs) for macrophage DNA synthesis. Low concentrations of glucocorticoids and also prostaglandins E1 and E2 suppress both the CSF-1-stimulated and the TPA-stimulated macrophage DNA synthesis; these same drugs inhibit the CSF-1-mediated and TPA-mediated enhancement of macrophage plasminogen activator (PA) activity. Thus glucocorticoids and prostaglandins E1 and E2 oppose the action of growth factors and the tumor promoter on macrophage and precursor cell function.
