Abstract
PGE1 has antimitotic activity by virtue of its effect in increasing cAMP in vascular smooth muscle cells. The present study compares the effect of 13,14-dihydro-PGE1 (13,14-DH-PGE1) with PGE1 in an experimental model of stress induced by desoxycorticosterone in the rabbit. 13,14-DH-PGE1 significantly inhibited the stress-induced increase in mitotic activity, measured by autoradiography as percentage of 3H-thymidine positive cells, in all 3 abdominal aortic wall layers. Administration prior to stress was more effective than after stress, while combined administration was most effective. 13,14-DH-PGE1 exerts approximately 90% of the antimitotic activity of PGE1. It seems possible that the antimitotic activity observed after administration of intravenous PGE1 is attributable in part to 13,14-DH-PGE1.
