title: [Effect of bradykinin, ionophore A23187 and trypsin on prostacyclin release from calf and pig aorta endothelial cells].
abstract: This paper details the methods of establishing stock culture and subculture of calf and pig aorta endothelial cells and the effects of bradykinin, ionophore A23187, trypsin and arachidonic acid (AA) on the release of prostacyclin (PGI2) from the cells. The release was measured by 6-keto PGF1 alpha radioimmunoassay. The results showed that the stimuli significantly increased the release of PGI2 in the two endothelial cell types (P < 0.01, n = 8), and the release was much stronger in pig than in calf endothelial cells under the experimental conditions. We therefore suggest that the reactivities of the two endothelial cells to the stimuli differ. The results offer useful information for further research of the mechanism of their pharmacologic actions on endothelial cells and their relationship with PGI2.
