Effects of EP-receptor subtype specific agonists and other prostanoids on adenylate cyclase activity of duodenal epithelial cells.
Rank order of agonist potency for activation of adenylate cyclase by the naturally occurring prostanoids PGE2, PGF2 alpha, PGD2, the stable PGI2 analogue iloprost, and the TXA2 mimetic U 46619, provides evidence for the existence of a distinct PGE-receptor on guinea-pig duodenal enterocytes. The PGE-receptor is likely to be of the EP2-subtype since the specific EP2-agonist 11-deoxy-PGE1 stimulated adenylate cyclase activity with a 20-fold higher potency than the EP1-agonist 17-phenyltrinor-PGE2 and the EP3-agonists MB 28767 and GR 63799. In addition, sulprostone (acting on both EP1- and EP3-receptors) was ineffective. Since the specific EP1-antagonist SC 19220 did not inhibit PGE2-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity, the involvement of EP1-receptors could be further excluded. The synthetic prostaglandin E-analogues misoprostol and nocloprost stimulated adenylate cyclase almost identically, though they were about 10-fold less potent than the natural PGE2.
