title: PGE2 regulates cAMP production in cultured rabbit CCD cells: evidence for dual inhibitory mechanisms.
abstract: In cultured cortical collecting duct (CCD) cells, exogenous prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) inhibited arginine vasopressin (AVP)-stimulated adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) production in a concentration-dependent manner. Although pertussis toxin (PT, 500 ng/ml) alone did not reverse the PGE2-dependent inhibition, PT and staurosporine, a protein kinase C inhibitor, together partially reversed the effect of exogenous PGE2. In contrast, PT completely reversed the inhibition of AVP-dependent cAMP production by sulprostone. These data suggest that exogenous PGE2 can inhibit AVP-stimulated cAMP production and that the inhibitory effects of PGE2 are mediated by staurosporine- and PT-sensitive component(s). Short-term (15-240 min) incubation with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA, 10(-7) M) inhibited PGE2-stimulated cAMP production. Long-term (20 h) incubation with PMA augmented PGE2-stimulated cAMP production. These data provide evidence for the maintenance of a PT-sensitive PGE2-dependent inhibitory pathway of cAMP production in cultured CCD cells. In addition, data are presented that support an inhibitory role for protein kinase C in the effects of PGE2 on the metabolism of cAMP in these cells.
