title: Rat osteogenic sarcoma cells:effects of some prostaglandins, their metabolites and analogues on cyclic AMP production.
abstract: Cyclic AMP production by freshly isolated cells, from a 32P-induced transplantable rat osteogenic sarcoma, was stimulated by PGE1, PGE2 and to a less extent by PGF2alpha and PGA2. In the case of PGE2, the cyclic AMP content of cells was maximal within 5 min. The 13,14-dihydroderivatives of PGE1, PGE2 and PGF2alpha had approximately 40% of the activity of the parent prostaglandin whilst, in every case, the metabolites (15-keto and 13,14-dihydro-15-keto) had very little activity. Two prostaglandin endoperoxide analogues (U44069 and U46619) had only 10% of the activity of an equimolar dose of PGE2. The data presented in this paper demonstrates similarities between the responses of these cells and cells derived from bony tissue in terms of the ability of prostaglandins to stimulate bone resorption in tissue culture.
