Cyclooxygenase (COX)-1 or -2 and prostaglandin (PG) synthases catalyze the formation of various PGs and thromboxane (TX) A(2). We have investigated the expression and activity of COX-1 and -2 during human megakaryocytopoiesis. We analyzed megakaryocytes from bone marrow biopsies and derived from thrombopoietin-treated CD34(+) hemopoietic progenitor cells in culture. Platelets were obtained from healthy donors and patients with high platelet regeneration because of immune thrombocytopenia or peripheral blood stem cell transplantation. By immunocytochemistry, COX-1 was observed in CD34(+) cells and in megakaryocytes at each stage of maturation, whereas COX-2 was induced after 6 days of culture, and remained detectable in mature megakaryocytes. CD34+ cells synthesized more PGE(2) than TXB2 (214 +/- 50 vs. 30 +/- 10 pg/10(6) cells), whereas the reverse was true in mature megakaryocytes (TXB2 8,440 +/- 2,500 vs. PGE(2) 906 +/- 161 pg/10(6) cells). By immunostaining, COX-2 was observed in
