Inhibition of human gingival carcinoma cell growth by prostaglandins

Gen Pharmacol. 1988;19(2):273-6. doi: 10.1016/0306-3623(88)90075-4.

Abstract

The inhibitory effects of various prostaglandins (PGA2, PGD2 and PGE2) on the growth of human gingival carcinoma cell line Ca 9-22 and human cervical carcinoma cell line HeLa were studied in vitro. 1. PGA2 and PGD2 significantly depressed Ca 9-22 cell proliferation in dose and time related fashion. 2. The inhibitory rate by PGs for Ca 9-22 cells exceeded than HeLa-cells. 3. IC50 value of PGD2 on growth of Ca 9-22 was calculated to be 4 micrograms/ml.
