Growth control in chick embryo fibroblasts; no evidence for a specific role for cyclic purine nucleotides 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP concentrations were measured in cultures of normal chick embryo fibroblasts and those transformed by Rous sarcoma virus under different growth conditions. No significant and reproducible correlation between the nucleotide levels and the rate of proliferation was observed. Neither release of normal cells from density dependent inhibition of growth nor transformation of the cultures by different strains of Rous sarcoma virus affected the concentrations of cyclic AMP or cyclic GMP. Activities of cellular cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases, enzymes involved in regulating the level of the nucleotides, were not directly affected by growth-stimulating concentrations of insulin or neuraminidase. Growth stimulation by insulin did not alter the activities of cellular cAMP-dependent protein kinase. These results do not support the hypothesis that cyclic AMP or cyclic GMP has a specific role in the growth control of chick embryo fibroblasts. 相似文献

Cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP can be separated from thymidine and its possible metabolites, electrolytes, and polyvalent nucleotides using columns of acidic alumina. Electrolytes and thymidine are not adsorbed on acidic alumina at pH 4.4 while cyclic nucleotides and polyvalent nucleotides are adsorbed at this pH. Cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP are eluted together from acidic alumina with 0.2 M ammonium formate (pH 6.0) and the polyvalent nucleotides remain adsorbed. The cyclic nucleotides are separated by chromatography on Dowex AG 1 X 8 resin. Recovery is 60–64% for cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP isolated from renal tissue samples. This methodology permits the separation of tritiated thymidine from cyclic nucleotides which are present in tissue preparations used in studies on the role of cyclic nucleotides in cellular growth. 相似文献

The time course of corticotropin-induced steroidogenesis and changes in intracellular cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP levels were investigated in isolated bovine adrenocortical cells prepared by trypsin digestion. Corticotropin produced a pea a peak rise in cyclic AMP during the first 5 min of stimulation and enhanced steroid production after 15 min. Corticotropin also caused a decrease in cortical cyclic GMP at 5 min; this decrease in cyclic GMP reverted to a 2–3 fold increase at 15–30 min which gradually subsided by 60 min. A steroidogenic concentration of prostaglandin E2 also produced an elevation in the levels of both nucleotides, but the rise in cyclic GMP preceded the rise incyclic AMP. These results suggest that the relative amount of cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP, rather than the absolute levels of cyclic AMP, may be a key factor in the regulation of steroidogenesis. 相似文献

In an attempt to correlate changes in cyclic nucleotide levels with in vivo growth of the rat adrenal gland we have measured adrenal cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP in normal, hyperplastic, and neoplastic rat adrenals. The first group of animals were subject to either unilateral adrenalectomy (ADX) or acute hypophysectomy 1 h prior to unilateral adrenalectomy (HADX). Cyclic nucleotides were measured in the contralateral adrenal post-operatively. In HADX rats cyclic GMP rose steadily throughout the 7 day study period, while ADX rats exhibited significant decreases in adrenal cyclic GMP. Cyclic AMP remained approximately 1.5 pm/mg tissue in HADX rats, while in ADX rats there was significant elevation of adrenal cyclic AMP at all time points. Cyclic GMP/cyclic AMP ratios remained constant in HADX animals; however, the growing adrenals of ADX animals exhibited depressed cyclic GMP/cyclic AMP ratios at all time periods.Adrenal hyperplasia was induced in a seond group of animals by a transplantable, corticotropin-secreting, pituitary tumor. Adrenals from age-matched animals served as controls. Adrenal cyclic AMP was significantly elevated in tumor-bearers at a time correspinding to the peak accumulation of adrenal weight, protein and DNA in these animals. In contrast, adrenal cyclic GMP in both tumor-beares and control animals fell steadily throughout the study period. Cyclic GMP/cyclic AMP ratios of control animals decreased from 2 to 3 weeks post-transplant remaining at the 3 week value during the period corresponding to rapid adrenal growth in tumor-bearers. The cyclic GMP/cyclic AMP ratio in the hyperplastic adrenals of tumor-bearers decreased steadily throughout their rapid growth period, suggesting a positive correlation between adrenal growth and depression of the cyclic GMP/cyclic AMP ratio.Cyclic nucleotide levels in neoplastic adrenals of rats bearing the transplantable adrenocortical carcinoma 494 were compared with cyclic nucleotides in normal rat adrenal glands. Cyclic AMP was not different in the two groups. However, the cyclic GMP content of neoplastic adrenals was significantly lower than that of normal adrenal tissue, causing a suppression of the cyclic GMP/cyclic AMP ratio in the neoplastic tissue. Thus, measurement of adrenal cyclic nucleotides in both hyperplastic and neoplastic rat adrenal glands suggests that adrenal growth in vivo may be characterized by a depression of the cyclic GMP/cyclic AMP ratio. 相似文献

Immunohistochemical studies employing antibodies against cyclic nucleotides indicate that cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP are localized to distinct subcellular sites. These antibodies, however, cross-react weakly with noncyclic nucleotides (eg. ATP, GTP), and therefore we investigated the speficity of the immunohistochemical technique. Slides of fetal nuclei exposed to gaseous nitrous acid demonstrated reduced immunofluorescence. The slides were then incubated with cyclic and noncyclic nucleotides, and restoration of distinct cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP staining pattern was achieved only with appropriate cyclic nucleotides. Antibodies that were used have a greater affinity for acetylated derivatives of cyclic nucleotides. By using a gas phase technique, tissue slices were acetylated and immunohistochemical staining intensity was compared with the effect of acetylation on antibody affinity for various nucleotides. Acetylation greatly increased affinity of cyclic AMP antibody for cyclic AMP but not other nucleotides, and greatly intensified cyclic AMP staining. Acetylation moderately increased affinity of cyclic GMP antibody for cyclic GMP, and moderately intensified cyclic GMP staining. Conclusion: Both nitrous acid and acetylation studies support the specificity of the immunohistochemical method for cyclic nucleotides. 相似文献

Cyclic guanosine 3′,5′-monophosphate (cyclic GMP) stimulates nucleic acid synthesis in lymphocytes, and has been implicated as the intracellular effector of the actions of mitogenic agents on these cells. In the present study, we examined the specificity of the mitogenic activity of cyclic GMP and of its 8-bromo (Br) derivatives, and the effects of the T cell mitogens, concanavalin A, phytohemagglutinin, and staphylococcal entertoxin B (SEB) on the cyclic GMP content and guanylate cyclase activity of mouse splenic lymphocytes. Cyclic GMP and guanosine modestly increased the incorporation of [3H]thymidine into DNA by cultured lymphocytes, but were far less effective than their 8-Br-derivatives. However, on a molar basis the mitogenic activity of both 8-Br-guanosine and 8-Br-5′-GMP exceeded that of 8-Br-cyclic GMP, when tested in the presence and absence of serum in the culture media. Combined addition of maximal doses of these nucleotides did not give additive stimulatory effects, suggesting an action on a common subpopulation of cells, and possibly a common mechanism. By contrast, cyclic AMP, 8-Br-cyclic AMP, 8-Br-adenosine, cholera toxin and prostaglandin E1 suppressed both basal [3]thymidine incorporation and stimulation of this parameter by T-cell line mitogens and the guanosine nucleotides. Rapid effects of concanavalin A, phytohemagglutinin, SEB, guanosine, 5′-GMP, 8-Br-guanosine, and 8-Br-5′-GMP on the cyclic GMP content of murine lymphocytes could not be demonstrated. Similarly, concanalin A, phytohemagglutinin and SEB failed to alter guanylate cyclase activity when added directly to cellular homogenates or pre-incubated with intact cels. Conversely, carbamylcholine rapidly increased lymphocyte cyclic GMP but was not mitogenic.These results are consistent with the hypothesis that cyclic GMP and cyclic AMP are antagonistic in their influence on lymphocyte mitogenesis. However, they also demonstrate that related nucleotides are more potent mitogens than cyclic GMP and suggest that activation of murine lymphocytes by concanavalin A, phytohemagglutinin and SEB may not be mediated by rapid increases in cellular cyclic GMP content. Since high concentrations of exogenous cyclic GMP and related nucleotides must be used to influence DNA synthesis, the biologic significance of this effect remains uncertain. 相似文献

Amylase secretion and changes in the levels of cyclic AMP and GMP were studied in rabbit parotid gland slices incubated in vitro with a variety of neurohumoral transmitters, their analogs and inhibitors. Cyclic GMP levels increased 8-fold 5 min after exposure to carbachol (10(-4) M), without a change in cyclic AMP levels; amylase output also rose. These effects were completely inhibited by muscarinic blockade with atropine, but were unaffected by alpha-adrenergic blockade with phenoxybenzamine. Epinephrine (4 - 10(-5) M) produced a rapid increase in the levels of both cyclic nucleotides and in amylase release. The increase in cyclic GMP level was inhibited by previous exposure of the slices to phenoxybenzamine, while the cyclic AMP rise was prevented by the beta-blocking agent, propranolol. Pure alpha-adrenergic stimulation with methoxamine (4 - 10(-4) M) produced modest elevations in cyclic GMP content and amylase output, effects blocked by pre-treatment of slices with either atropine or phenoxybenzamine. At a concentration of 4 - 10(-6) M, isoproterenol (a beta-agonist) failed to affect cyclic GMP levels, but promptly stimulated increases in cyclic AMP levels, and after a short lag, amylase secretion. At a higher dose (4 - 10(-5) M) isoproterenol produced elevations in the levels of both nucleotides. The carbachol-induced effects on cyclic GMP content and amylase release were greatly potentiated by the addition of isoproterenol (4 - 10(-6) M). These data strongly suggest that cholinergic muscarinic agonists and alpha-adrenergic agonists stimulate amylase output in rabit parotid gland by mechanisms involving cyclic GMP. The atropine-sensitive intracellular events effected by alpha-stimulation may be dependent upon endogenous generation of acetylcholine. Both cyclic nucleotides seem to be required for the early rapid secretion of amylase. The unique responses achieved by the combination of carbachol and isoproterenol suggest that isoproterenol may increase the sensitivity of this tissue to the effects of cholinergic stimuli. 相似文献

Preparation of cyclic nucleotide antisera with thyroglobulin-cyclic nucleotide conjugates 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Antisera to cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP were obtained by immunizing rabbits with antigens prepared by conjugating the 2'0-succinyl derivative of the cyclic nucleotides to thyroglobulin. The cyclic nucleotide-thyroglobulin conjugates were injected intradermally into multiple sites on the backs of the animals. This immunization procedure resulted in the production of antiserum in four of five animals capable of binding at a final serum dilution of greater than 1:10,000, 20% of the corresponding iodinated cyclic nucleotide derivative added. The antisera were also highly specific. The antiserum for cyclic AMP had a 2500-fold or greater relative affinity for cyclic AMP than other nucleotides or nucleosides, while that for cyclic GMP had a 5000-fold or greater affinity for 2'0 acetylated nucleotides or nucleosides except for acetylated cyclic IMP. The obstacles to measuring cyclic nucleotides, particularly cyclic GMP, in tissues were also overcome by refining and simplifying the methods for iodination, purification and assay. Furthermore, a "disequilibrium" incubation was developed as an alternative to the acetylation method to increase the sensitivity of the radioimmunoassay. Thus, the levels of both cyclic GMP and cyclic AMP can be determined rapidly and easily in the same tissue sample. 相似文献

This study examined the binding of both cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP to receptor proteins in particulate and soluble subfractions of renal cortical homogenates from the golden hamster. The binding of both nucleotides was compared to subsequent effects of both nucleotides on the phosphorylation of histone from identical fractions. Cyclic AMP binding and cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase activity predominated in the cytosol, with some binding and enzyme activity also detected in particulate fractions. Cyclic GMP and cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase activity could only be demonstrated in cytosolic fractions and represented only 20-30% of cyclic AMP-dependent activity in this fraction. Binding of both nucleotides was highly specific, however, cyclic AMP showed some interaction with cyclic GMP binding. Evidence suggesting that each nucleotide interacts with a specific protein kinase was as follows: both the binding activity of the cyclic nucleotides and their combined protein kinase activity show additivity; cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP binding activity could be separated on sucrose gradients; cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP protein kinase activity could be separated with Sephadex G-100 chromatography, after preincubation of homogenate supernatants with either cyclic AMP or cyclic GMP. The results demonstrate the presence of both cyclic AMP- and cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase in renal cortex. 相似文献

Injection of LH (2 and 10 μg) into proestrus rats increased ovarian cyclic AMP levels and concomitantly decreased the levels of cyclic GMP. When injected into diestrus rats, cyclic AMP increases were even greater, whereas cyclic GMP levels were not significantly different from controls receiving saline injections. Ovarian cyclic nucleotide levels were also examined on different days of the cycle. On the afternoon of proestrus (1700 h), the time when circulating levels of LH are at their maximum, the concentration of cyclic AMP showed a moderate but insignificant increase. At the same time, cyclic GMP levels were significantly decreased. An inverse relation between cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP levels was seen on each day of the cycle. When rats were injected with pentobarbital (35 mg/kg) on the afternoon of proestrus (1300 h) to block the LH surge, the expected increases in ovarian cyclic AMP and decreases in cyclic GMP were effectively blocked. These results indicate that ovarian cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP levels are regulated by circulating LH. The apparent differences in direction of nucleotide response to LH, suggest divergent roles for the nucleotides in ovarian function. 相似文献

The effect of theophylline and isoproterenol on bovine tracheal smooth muscle tension and cyclic AMP levels was investigated. Concentrations of isoproterenol (4 × 10?6 M) and theophylline (10 mM) that relaxed carbachol-contracted tracheal muscle by 85–95% did not significantly elevate control levels of cyclic AMP. In the absence of carbachol, several-fold increases in cyclic AMP were caused by isoproterenol although no elevations by theophylline were measurable. However, when isoproterenol and theophylline were administered together, theophylline potentiated the rise in cyclic AMP caused by isoproterenol. Phosphodiesterase studies in tracheal muscle showed the presence of a high and a low Km enzyme which were inhibited by theophylline. Cyclic GMP levels were elevated in muscles contracted by carbachol as well as in carbachol-contracted muscles that had been relaxed by theophylline. In non-tension studies, in which the tracheal muscle was not under isometric tension, carbachol or theophylline alone increased cyclic GMP and together they synergistically elevated cyclic GMP. Atropine blocked the elevation caused by carbachol but not that caused by theophylline. In contrast to theophylline, isoproterenol did not elevate cyclic GMP, and in carbachol-contracted muscles that had been relaxed by isoproterenol, cyclic GMP levels were no different from control. Also, in non-tension studies, isoproterenol decreased basal cyclic GMP and antagonized the increase in cyclic GMP due to carbachol.The results indicate that whole-tissue levels of cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP do not correlate with the state of tracheal smooth muscle tension. Cyclic GMP levels do not clearly correlate with either contraction or relaxation. The inhibition by carbachol of increases in cyclic AMP due to isoproterenol and the inhibition by isoproterenol of increases in cyclic GMP due to carbachol provide evidence for a reciprocal cholinergic-adrenergic antagonism of cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP levels. The antagonism did not appear to be due to either cyclic nucleotide affecting the elevation of the other since the levels of both cyclic nucleotides were depressed. 相似文献

In C6 cells norepinephrine and dopamine caused transient increases in cyclic GMP and cyclic AMP, as well as an induction of lactate dehydrogenase. All of these responses were blocked by l-propranolol, suggesting mediation by a β-receptor. Phentolamine potentiated the NE-increased cAMP levels by 5-fold when NE was used at suboptimal doses, suggesting the presence of α-adrenergic receptors in C6 cells. Carbamylcholine decreased the levels of both cyclic nucleotides, with hexamethonium partially reversing the effect on cyclic GMP. Dibutyryl-cyclic GMP or carbamylcholine reduced catecholamine-induced cyclic AMP levels. Serotonin increased cyclic GMP levels 60% and decreased cyclic AMP levels 36%. Calcium- and magnesium-free media inhibited the norepinephrine-induced levels of cyclic GMP and cyclic AMP respectively. 相似文献

The effects of erythropoietin and hypoxia on cyclic nucleotide concentrations in erythroid tissue were evaluated. A rabbit bone marrow culture system and a mouse spleen model provided evidence that erythropoietin and an hypoxic stimulus which increases erythropoietin production may enhance erythropoiesis by initiating reciprocal changes in erythroid cell cyclic nucleotide levels. Cyclic GMP appears to be the active signal in mediating the response to erythropoietin, whereas cyclic AMP may be a passive signal allowing full expression of the cyclic GMP response. Whether the type of response mediated by cyclic nucleotides is proliferative, differentiative or both is not clear, but our data and that of other investigators suggest that cyclic GMP mediates the proliferative actions of erythropoietin. 相似文献

Both cyclic nucleotides seem to be required for the early rapid secretion of amylase. The unique responses achieved by the combination of carbachol and isoproterenol suggest that isoproterenol may increase the sensitivity of this issue to the effects of cholinergic stimuli. 相似文献

A single injection of either isoproternol or N6, O2'-dibutyryl adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate (dibutyryl cyclic AMP) results in an inhibition in the rate of [3H]thymidine incorporation into DNA of differentiating cardiac muscle of the neonatal rat. This inhibition is not due to substantially altered cellular uptake or catabolism of [3H]thymidine. Inhibition of [3H]thymidine incorporation by isoproterenol or dibutyryl cyclic AMP is potentiated by theophylline. Maximal inhibition (95%) is observed 24 h after administration of isoproterenol, and the rate of incorporation returns to a value 80% of control by 72 h. Norepinephrine also inhibits [3H]thymidine incorporation whereas cyclic GMP, N2, 02-Dibutyryl guanosine 3':5'-monophosphate (dibutyryl cyclic GMP), and phenylephrine have little effect. Equilibrium sedimentation analysis of cardiac muscle DNA in neutral and alkaline cesium chloride gradients using bromodeoxyuridine as a density label indicate that isoproterenol and dibutyryl cyclic AMP inhibit [3H]thymidine incorporation into DNA that is replicating semiconservatively. Administration of isoproterenol or dibutyryl cyclic AMP to neonatal rats inhibits by approximately 60% the incorporation of [3H]thymidine into DNA of tissue slices of cardiac muscle prepared 16 h later. [3H]Thymidine incorporation into DNA of tissue slices is into chains that were growing in vivo. This incorporation is linear for at least 4 h of incubation and is inhibited by isoproterenol and dibutyryl cyclic AMP. Inhibition is not due to altered cellular uptake of [3H]thymidine nor is it due to a cytotoxic action. Several other compounds which elevate intracellular levels of cyclic AMP (epinephrine, norepinephrine, glucagon, and prostaglandin E1) also inhibit [3H]thymidine incorporation into DNA or cardiac muscle tissue slices. Cyclic GMP, dibutyryl cyclic GMP, sodium butyrate, and phenylephrine have little effect. Isoproterenol administered together with theophylline to neonatal rats signficantly stimulates the in corporation of [3H]phenylalanine into total cardiac muscle protein and into myosin. This enhanced incorporation may be due in part to an increase in the cellular uptake of [3H]phenylalanine. DNA synthesis decreases progressively in differentiating cardiac muscle of the rat during postnatal development and essentially ceases by the middle of the third week (Claycomb, W. C. (1975) J. Biol. Chem. 250, 3229-3235). In reviewing the literature it was found that this decline in synthetic activity correlates temporally with a progressive increase in tissue concentrations of norepinephrine and cyclic AMP and with the anatomical and physiological development of the adrenergic nerves in this tissue. Because of these facts and data presented in this report it is proposed that cell proliferation and cell differentiation in cardiac muscle may be controlled by adrenergic innervation with norepinephrine and cyclic AMP serving as chemical mediators. 相似文献

The effects of adrenergic and cholinergic agents, present singly or in combination, on the levels of cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP in slices of rat lung were studied. It was found that isoproterenol increased pulmonary cyclic AMP levels about 3-fold, and this increase was abolished by propranolol, but not by phenoxybenzamine. Acetylcholine increased the cyclic GMP levels also about 3-fold (thus raising its tissue content above that of cyclic AMP), and this increment was largely reduced by atropine, but not by hexamethonium. While without effects on the cyclic GMP levels when present alone, isoproterenol antagonized acetylcholine in increasing cyclic GMP levels. Acetylcholine, while lacking effects on the basal levels of cyclic AMP, on the other hand, depressed the augmented levels caused by isoproterenol.The data presented indicate that cyclic GMP may mediate the cholinergic action in lung and that the pulmonary cyclic GMP levels are also closely regulated by β-adrenergic receptor activation. 相似文献

The effects of parathyroid hormone (PTH) on concentrations of cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP were investigated in isolated renal cortical tubules from hamsters. Efflux of 45Ca from tubules was compared to temporal changes in both cyclic nucleotide concentrations. A rapid increase in cyclic AMP occurred following addition of PTH which was maximal by 1 min but decreased over the next 4 min period. Cyclic GMP concentrations were not significantly altered at 1 min but increased between 1 and 5 min from basal levels. Concentrations of both nucleotides remained significantly elevated from basal levels between 5 and 15 min following PTH. Efflux of 45Ca was increased by PTH with time-course changes closely paralleling changes in cyclic GMP concentrations. Changes in both cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP were related to PTH concentrations of the incubation media and were increased by addition of theophylline. Increasing the calcium concentration from 1 to 3 mM did not significantly alter the effect of PTH on cyclic AMP, however, cyclic GMP concentrations were further increased. 相似文献

Cyclic AMP and its dibutyryl derivative inhibit neuronal firing of the labellar sugar sensitive receptor of the blowfly when applied in conjunction with the stimulant sucrose. Furthermore, simultaneous application of aminophylline (phosphodieterase inhibitor) and sucrose or in combination with cyclic AMP caused a similar depression of the sugar receptors response. In contrast, dibutyryl cyclic GMP elicited an increase in sugar receptor firing when applied with sucrose to sugar receptor. Either 5'-AMP or 5'-GMP in combination with sucrose had no discernable effect on the sugar receptors response. Different ratio combinations of cyclic AMP and dibutyryl cyyclic GMP showed the striking inhibitory effect of cyclic AMP upon the dibutyryl cyclic GMP elicited increases in receptor firing frequency. Therefore, it is suggested that these two nucleotides may be mediating different but complimentary aspects of sugar receptor function in a push-pull manner. 相似文献
