5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) causes intestinal mucosal damage and malabsorption. We have recently reported that coadministration of 17 S,20-dimethyl- trans- lower right triangle (2)-prostaglandin E(1) (OP-1206), a stable synthetic analogue of prostaglandin E(1), with 5-FU to rats protects the small intestine from 5-FU-induced damage. Enterocyte proliferation would contribute to the restitution of the wounded intestinal mucosa. Thus, we investigated the effect of OP-1206 on the proliferation of rat jejunal crypt cells (IEC-6 cells) treated with 5-FU.
