We determined arachidonic acid (AA) cyclooxygenase metabolic profiles in specimens of human intracranial tumors (gliomas and meningiomas) and, when available, normal brain tissue. Samples were collected at surgery and immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen. The five stable metabolites of AA (PGE2, PGD2 PGF2,.alpha., 6-keto-PGF1.alpha. and TXB2) were measured by high-resolution gas chromatography-mass spectrometry after ex vivo metabolism of endogenous AA by tissue homogenates. The absolute amounts of AA metabolites varied widely between samples, though meningiomas and gliomas showed characteristic profiles. Compared to the slow-growing benign meningiomas, the rapidly-growing infiltrating gliomas had higher synthesis of TXA2 (reported as a procancer metabolite) and lower synthesis of PGD2 and PG12 (reported as anticancer metabolites). A higher overall synthesis capacity, preferentially toward TXA2, was found in glioblastomas than in non-pathological brain tissue.
