Present evidence suggests that skin is an important organ of prostaglandin [PG] metabolism. To clarify its role, the basic kinetics of 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (PGDH) from rat skin were investigated with either NAD+ or NADP+ as co-substrate. PGF2.alpha. and PGE2 were used as substrates and preliminary studies were made of the inhibitory effects of the reduced co-substrates NADH and NADPH. A radiochemical assay was used in which [3H]PGF2.alpha. or [14C]PGE2 were incubated with high-speed supernatant of rat skin homogenates. The substrate and products were then extracted by solvent partition, separated by TLC and quantified by liquid-scintillation counting. At linear reaction rates and at an NAD+ concentration of 10 mM the mean apparent Km for PGF2.alpha. and 24 .mu.M with a mean apparent Vmax of 9.8 nmol/s per l of reaction mixture. For PGE2 the mean apparent Km was 8 .mu.M, with a mean apparent Vmax of 2.7 nmol/s per l of reaction mixture. With NADP+ as a co-substrate at a concentration of 5 mM a mean apparent Km of 23 .mu.M was obtained for PGF2.alpha. with a mean apparent Vmax of 5.2 nmol/s per l. For PGE2 values of 7.5 .mu.M and 3.0 nmol/s per l were obtained, respectively. Skin contains NAD+- and NADP+-dependent PGDH. An important finding was that the NADP+-linked enzyme gave Km values for PGE2 that were considerably lower than those reported for NADP+-linked PGDH from other tissues. Preliminary inhibition studies with the NAD+-linked PGDH system indicate that this enzyme is not only inhibited by NADH, but also by NADPH, a property not previously reported for NAD+-linked PGDH derived from other tissues.
