To investigate what type of prostanoid receptors are involved in the development of fever induced by brain prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), PGE2 and its analogues were injected into a lateral cerebroventricle (LCV) of rats, and the changes in colonic temperature (Tco) were observed in a 23 +/- 1 degrees C environment. 17-Phenyl-omega-trinor-PGE2 (an EP1 agonist; 0.01-10 nmol) produced a rapid and dose-dependent rise in Tco. Even though the EP1 agonist was 10 times less potent than PGE2 on a molar basis, the time course of this hyperthermia was quite similar to that of the PGE2-induced one. No fever was elicited by an LCV injection of butaprost (an EP2 agonist; 0.1-100 nmol), 11-deoxy-PGE1 (an EP2 agonist; 0.1-1.0 nmol). The PGE2 (0.3 nmol)-induced hyperthermia was blocked by LCV pretreatment with SC-19220 (150 nmol), an EP1 antagonist. The results suggest that the PGE2-induced hyperthermia in the rat is mediated predominantly through EP1 receptors in the brain.
为了研究何种前列腺素受体参与脑源性前列腺素E2(PGE2)诱导的发热过程,将PGE2及其类似物注入大鼠侧脑室(LCV),并在23±1℃环境下观察结肠温度(Tco)的变化。17-苯基-ω-三降-PGE2(一种EP1激动剂;0.01 - 10 nmol)可使Tco迅速且呈剂量依赖性升高。尽管按摩尔计算,EP1激动剂的效力比PGE2低10倍,但其热疗的时间进程与PGE2诱导的热疗非常相似。侧脑室注射布他前列素(一种EP2激动剂;0.1 - 100 nmol)、11-脱氧-PGE1(一种EP2激动剂;0.1 - 1.0 nmol)均未引起发热。用EP1拮抗剂SC-19220(150 nmol)对侧脑室进行预处理可阻断PGE2(0.3 nmol)诱导的热疗。结果表明,大鼠中PGE2诱导的热疗主要通过脑中的EP1受体介导。
