Abstract
Indomethacin enhanced macrophage cytostasis against MOPC-315 tumor cells in vitro. The effect of indomethacin was inhibited by prostaglandin E2 and by the lipoxygenase inhibitor nordihydroguaiaretic acid. Prostaglandin E2 and nordihydroguaiaretic acid also inhibited indomethacin stimulation of macrophage thymidine incorporation. Indomethacin inhibited macrophage prostaglandin E2 formation and stimulated leukotriene B4 synthesis. Nordihydroguaiaretic acid inhibited leukotriene B4 production. Our data indicate that eicosanoids play a role in regulating macrophage cytostasis.Entities:
