Abstract:
:We found that platelet-activating factor (PAF) stimulated the production of prostaglandin (PG) E2 in MC3T3-E1 cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner. 1.0 microM PAF gave a maximal stimulation of PGE2 production by MC3T3-E1 cells after a 4 hr PAF-treatment. Furthermore, the PAF-induced PGE2 production was abolished by the pre-treatment of the cells with a PAF receptor antagonist, 1-O-hexadecyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho(N,N,N-trimethyl)hexanolamine, which occupied the same receptor site as PAF. These results suggest that PAF stimulates the PGE2 synthesis through a PAF receptor mediated pathway. Possibly PAF modulates bone metabolism by stimulating PGE2 synthesis.
