Embryonic tissue of rodents and other species has been reported to produce prostaglandins (PG) of the E series during gestation. We attempted to establish the presence of PGE in C57BL/6J mouse embryos and peri-embryonic tissue as an initial step in examining the role of maternal ethanol treatment on PG production. Gestation day 10 embryos were found not to produce or degrade PGE. However, a tissue complex which included embryonic tissue, peri-embryonic membranes, placenta and uterus was capable of producing PGE from both endogenous and exogenous arachidonic acid. Furthermore, in vivo and in vitro aspirin was able to suppress PGE production from this tissue. It is concluded that gestation day 10 C57BL/6J mouse embryonic tissue, unlike that of rat, is not capable of measurable PGE production. However, uterine and peri-embryonic tissues, needed to support pregnancy, are capable of significant PGE production.
