A role for prostaglandins in the suppression of cutaneous cellular immunity and tumour development in benzo(a)pyrene- but not dimethylbenz(a)anthracene-treated mice.

J Andrews1, G M Halliday, H K Muller.   

Abstract

Prostaglandins have been implicated in the immune suppression associated with the development of some tumours. Application of the prostaglandin synthetase inhibitor indomethacin, to murine skin prior to treatment with the chemical carcinogens benzo(a)pyrene (BP) or 7,12 dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA), restored contact sensitivity responses to 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene in BP- but not DMBA-treated mice. However, indomethacin failed to restore antibody responses in either group of mice. Prolonged treatment with BP or DMBA led to cutaneous tumour formation. Indomethacin was found to delay the onset and reduce the size of tumours in BP- but not DMBA-treated mice. It is proposed that prostaglandin-induced suppression of cellular cutaneous immunity may play a role in BP- but not DMBA-induced cutaneous carcinogenesis.
