The effect of PGE2 on catecholamine release from human adrenal medulla and phaechromocytoma was studied in slices incubated in vitro. In each of 3 normal human adrenal medullae PGE2 (10(-7) M) caused a significant inhibition of the release of catecholamines in in vitro incubation. In each of 3 phaechromocytomas studied PGE2 (10(-7) M) caused a significant increase of catecholamine release in in-vitro incubation. The possible relevance of this mechanism to the regulation of catecholamine release in phaeochromocytoma is discussed.
在体外培养的切片中研究了前列腺素E2(PGE2)对人肾上腺髓质和嗜铬细胞瘤中儿茶酚胺释放的影响。在3个正常的人肾上腺髓质中,PGE2(10^-7 M)在体外培养时均显著抑制了儿茶酚胺的释放。在所研究的3个嗜铬细胞瘤中,PGE2(10^-7 M)在体外培养时均显著增加了儿茶酚胺的释放。讨论了该机制与嗜铬细胞瘤中儿茶酚胺释放调节的可能相关性。
