title: Bradykinin-induced cyclic AMP accumulation in mouse fibrosarcoma independent of prostaglandin E2 formation.
abstract: The relationship between bradykinin (BK)-induced prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and cyclic AMP syntheses in mouse fibrosarcoma cells (HSDM1C1) was investigated. Maximal BK-induced increases in cyclic AMP preceded increases in PGE2 production. PGE2 synthesis reached maximum at a much lower concentration of BK than cyclic AMP synthesis. Indomethacin completely inhibited BK-induced PGE2 production, but did not influence the cyclic AMP levels. Arachidonic acid in the medium induced PGE2 production in large quantities, but increased cyclic AMP accumulation only slightly. A high PGE2 concentration increased cyclic AMP levels only slightly. Theophylline increased basal and BK-mediated cyclic AMP levels, but did not affect PGE2 production at all. These results indicate that BK-evoked PGE2 and cyclic AMP syntheses in HSDM1C1 are not dependent upon each other.
