Abstract
Prostaglandin production was measured in homogeneous cultures that had been characterized as glomerular epithelial and mesangial cells. Glomerular epithelial cells produced ten times more cyclooxygenase products than mesangial cells; 88 to 95% of its products were prostacyclin. Mesangial cells produced predominantly prostaglandin E2 (57 to 66%); only 14 to 15% of the prostaglandins produced by mesangial cells was PGI2. Cultured glomerular epithelial and mesangial cells produced little prostaglandin D2, thromboxane, 12-L-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid, or 6-sulfido-peptide-containing leukotrienes
