Tissue contents of prostaglanidns (PG) PGE2, PGE2a and 6-keto-PGF1a (degradation product of PGI2) were determined in specimens of advanced human ovarian cancer (n = 11). The PG levels (ng/mg tissue protein) varied widely: PGE2 17-515; PGF2a 2-43 and 6-keto-PGF1a 5-105. Tumors of patients without response to chemotherapy [cisplatinum, cyclophosphamide and adriamycin] contained more PGE2, PGF2a and 6-keto-PGF1a than did tumors responding to chemotherapy. PG production was investigated in 2 ovarian carcinoma-derived cell lines. The ability of these cells to synthesize PG varied depending on the cell density. An increase of cell number was associated with decrease of PG yield. PG formation was inhibited by indomethacin in a concentration-dependent manner. Apparently, ovarian carcinoma cells form PG in vivo and vitro.
