title: D-galactosamine-induced cell damage enhances specific binding of prostaglandin E1 to rat hepatocytes.
abstract: Specific bindings of [3H]prostaglandin E1 ([3H]PGE1), 125I-glucagon and [3H]norepinephrine to D-galactosamine (GalN)-treated rat hepatocytes in primary culture were investigated. After a two hour-treatment with GalN (1 and 10mg/ml), hepatocytes showed an enhanced specific binding to [3H]PGE1, whereas 125I-glucagon binding was little affected and [3H]norepinephrine binding was strongly diminished. Scatchard plot analysis indicated an increase of binding sites of [3H]PGE1. This unusual manner of [3H]PGE1 binding is suggested to indicate a special property of PGE1 receptor and may be associated with the cytoprotective effect of prostaglandins.
