Abstract
This study examined the phosphatidylinositol (PI) response in chondrocytes. The levels of 3H-inositol phosphates (IPs) were measured in guinea pig chondrocyte cultures labelled with 3H-myo-inositol and exposed to various inflammatory mediators and known agonists of the PI response, including bradykinin, carbachol, histamine, A23187, or recombinant human interleukin-1 beta. Of the mediators used to stimulate the PI response in chondrocytes, only bradykinin was effective. The bradykinin treated cells had higher levels of IPs (37-fold) than the controls. The PI response to bradykinin was dose and time dependent.Entities:
