However, it is not clear whether any stimulation of arachidonic acid metabolism\/prostaglandin formation results directly from the action of tumor promoters on hepatocytes or indirectly from effects of promoters on Kupffer cells or other non\u2010hepatocytes. Our laboratory has been utilizing relatively pure populations of rat hepatocytes under the defined conditions of primary cultures, to investigate growth\u2010stimulatory actions of tumor promoters, an important element in the promotion stage of carcinogenesis. It has been shown that most if not all liver tumor promoters tested stimulate hepatocyte DNA synthesis when added in combination with factors such as EGF, insulin, and glucocorticoid. In the present study, we sought evidence for a role of prostaglandins (PGs) in the direct growth\u2010stimulatory actions of tumor promoters on hepatocytes. PGE<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>, PGF<jats:sub>2\u03b1<\/jats:sub>, and PGD<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> cause concentration\u2010dependent stimulation of hepatocyte DNA synthesis, while arachidonic acid was without any effect. PGE<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> and PGF<jats:sub>2\u03b1<\/jats:sub> required the presence of dexamethasone to exert significant effects. These PGs did not further augment the stimulatory effect of EGF. In contrast, PGD<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> stimulated DNA synthesis in the presence or absence of insulin, dexamethasone, or EGF. The effect of tumor promoters on arachidonic acid metabolism, as measured by [<jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup>H]arachidonic acid release and PGE<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> production, was determined. The phorbol ester TPA significantly increased [<jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup>H]arachidonic acid release as well as PGE<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> formation in hepatocytes in line with known effects in other cell types. However, liver tumor promoters phenobarbital (PB), \u03b1\u2010hexachlorocycohexane (HCH), 1,1\u2010bis(p\u2010chlorophenyl)\u20102,2,2\u2010trichloroethane (DDT), and pregnenolone\u201016\u03b1\u2010carbonitrile (PCN) were without effects. Finally, inhibitors of arachidonic acid metabolism were tested for effects on the ability of TPA or liver tumor promoters to stimulate DNA synthesis by direct action on cultured hepatocytes. In all cases, lack of selective inhibition was observed. Taken together, the results show that while prostaglandins may directly stimulate DNA synthesis in hepatocytes, they are unlikely to mediate the direct growth\u2010stimulatory actions of liver tumor promoters. \u00a9 2001 Wiley\u2010Liss,
