ABSTRACT
Human endometrium contains specific binding sites for iodinated endothelin (ET)-1, ET-2 and ET-3, and ET-1 stimulates prostaglandin (PG) F2\g=a\ synthesis from explants of proliferative endometrium in short\x=req-\ term culture. This study has investigated the cellular responses of normal proliferative endometrium to ET\x=req-\ 1. Radioimmunoassay was used to measure PG release and Dowex anion-exchange column chromatography was utilized to assess the accumulation of inositol phosphates. Endothelin-1 induced a significant increase in PGF2\g=a\ release (basal median: 1465 pg/mg per 60 min (range: 541\p=n-\3935 pg/mg 1813 pg/mg per per 60 min); ET-1-stimulated: 60 min (1021\p=n-\5714 pg/mg per 60 min); P < 0\m=.\04 using Wilcoxon signed rank test).

INTRODUCTION
Calcium-mobilizing agonists transmit their intracel¬ lular messages by binding to specific receptors on the cell surface. The ligand-bound receptors activate effector systems including phospholipase A2, phos¬ pholipase C and phospholipase D via a receptorcoupled G protein, to generate second messengers. The hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(4,5)P2) by the PtdIns(4,5)P2-specific phospholipase C yields two second messengers, 1,2diacylglycerol (DAG) and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(l,4,5)P3) (Berridge & Irvine, 1989). Ins(l,4,5)P3 stimulates the release of stored intracellu¬ lar calcium ([Ca2+]¡) (Berridge & Irvine, 1989), whilst DAG, in concert with Ca2+, activates the phosphatidylserine-dependent protein kinase C (Nishizuka, 1989).

Following a 1-min stimulation with ET-1 (100 nmol/l), [3H]inositol mono-, bisand trisphosphate fractions increased from median values of 490\m=.\0 d.p.m./mg dry wt (range: 348\m=.\0\p=n-\ 807\m=.\0 d.p.m./mg dry wt), 120\m=.\0 d.p.m./mg dry wt (93\m=.\6\p=n-\144\m=.\1 d.p.m./mg dry wt) and 67\m=.\0 d.p.m./mg
