title: Action of a novel kinin precursor, Met-T-kinin-Leu, on prostaglandin I2 and blood pressure.
abstract: The novel kinin precursor, Met-T-kinin-Leu, stimulated the release of prostaglandin I2 from endothelial cells cultured using bovine carotid artery endothelial cells and minimum essential medium supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum. However, it failed to stimulate the release of prostaglandin I2 from the cells in the fetal calf serum-free medium conditions. To examine the discrepancy of the release of prostaglandin I2 from the cells by Met-T-kinin-Leu in the presence or absence of fetal calf serum, the products formed from Met-T-kinin-Leu by incubation of culture medium were analyzed by reverse-phase HPLC. Regarding the blood pressure reaction of Met-T-kinin-Leu, it showed from one fifth to one hundredth of that compared with bradykinin in blood pressure reactivity of each species, such as rats, rabbits and cats.
