The behaviour of 6-keto PGF1 alpha and TXB2 concentrations in the culture supernatant of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia cells.

Prostaglandins have been implicated as possible modulators of the proliferation and differentiation of neoplastic cells. The aim of this work was to determine 6-keto-PGF1 alpha and TXB2 concentrations in the blood plasma and in the supernatant of 96 hour PHA stimulated and unstimulated leukaemic cell cultures of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia patients. 62 patients with CLL classified to the 1st or 4th stage according to RAI, and 23 healthy individuals were investigated. The blastogenic transformation was measured by the standard tritiated thymidine method. The quantity of 6-keto-PGF1 alpha and TXB2 was estimated by the isotopic method using a RIA-kit. In the 4th stage of CLL a low value of blastogenic transformation was observed, whereas in the 1st stage, the values were similar to those of the control group. It was shown that in the 4th stage of the disease an increase in the 6-keto-PGF1 alpha concentrations occurs in the blood plasma and the culture supernatant together with a significant decrease in TXB2 in the culture supernatant, whereas in the 1st stage a significant decrease in the 6-keto-PGF1 alpha as compared with those of the control group is noted. These results may indicate on antagonistic action of PGI2 and TXB2 in leukaemia cell proliferation.
