We have investigated the effect of protease activity on cyclic AMP production and steroidogenesis in rat testis, mouse testis and mouse tumour Leydig (MA10) cells. LH-, dibutyryl cyclic AMP-, and forskolin-stimulated steroidogenesis, but not 22R(OH) cholesterol conversion to pregnenolone, was inhibited by protease inhibitors. In mouse Leydig cells, LH but not forskolin or cholera toxin stimulated cyclic AMP production was inhibited by protease inhibitors. These results suggest that steroidogenesis in Leydig cells requires proteolysis before the conversion of cholesterol to pregnenolone. In the mouse but not rat Leydig cells, LH-stimulated cyclic AMP production is also dependent on proteolysis. 相似文献

Human pancreatic growth hormone-releasing factor (GRF-44-NH2) stimulated growth hormone (GH) secretion and intracellular cyclic AMP levels in cultured pituitary cells from both sheep and rat. Somatostatin (SRIF), over a wide range of doses and time, showed no significant effect on the elevated cyclic AMP levels in sheep cells, but did block the GH release in a dose-dependent manner. In rat cells, however, SRIF inhibited GRF-stimulated cyclic AMP levels by 75% maximum (still 8-fold greater than the basal levels) and GH release to almost half the basal value. We conclude that somatostatin inhibits GRF-elevated cyclic AMP levels in rat pituitary cells but not in sheep cells. 相似文献

Rat fat cells incubated with lipolytic agents released substances to the medium which acted as feedback regulators of cyclic adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate (cyclic AMP) accumulation. The feedback regulators were not removed by adenosine deaminase. Dialyzed medium that had previously been incubated with fat cells in the presence of norepinephrine markedly inhibited cyclic AMP accumulation by fresh cells, whereas dialyzed medium from control cells did not inhibit cyclic AMP accumulation. The effects of lipolytic agents could be mimicked by adding dialyzed medium previously incubated with fat cells in the presence of oleic acid. This suggested that free fatty acids were the nondialyzable and adenosine deaminase-insensitive inhibitors of cyclic AMP accumulation released to the medium by fat cells incubated with lipolytic agents. The regulatory function of free fatty acids was related to the molar ratio of fatty acid to albumin. Profound inhibition of both lipolysis and cyclic AMP accumulation was seen as the free fatty acid/albumin ratio exceeded 3. The inhibition of cyclic AMP accumulation by oleate was seen as soon as there was a detectable increase in cyclic AMP due to lipolytic agents. Protein kinase activity (in the presence of cyclic AMP) of the infranatant obtained after centrifugation of fat cell homogenates at 48,000 x g was inhibited by medium from cells incubated with lipolytic agents or added oleate. Adenylate cyclase activity of rat fat cell ghosts was also inhibited by dialyzed or nondialyzed medium that previously had been incubated with lipolytic agents or added fatty acids. The direct addition of oleate markedly inhibited adenylate cyclase activity as the free fatty acid/albumin ratio exceeded 2. These data suggest that the prolonged drop in cyclic AMP accumulation seen during the incubation of rat fat cells with lipolytic agents is due to the inhibition of adenylate cyclase. This occurs when the free fatty acid/albumin ratio exceeds 3. 相似文献

The dual regulation of cyclic AMP accumulation was studied in rat prostatic epithelial cells incubated with somatostatin, vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), and the beta-adrenergic agent isoproterenol. Somatostatin noncompetitively inhibited the stimulatory effect of VIP and isoproterenol, but it did not alter basal cyclic AMP levels. In addition to the multifactorial regulation of the cyclic AMP system in rat prostatic epithelium, these results suggest that somatostatin may play a physiological role at this level. 相似文献

We have reported previously that parathyroid hormone (PTH) acts on cultured bone cells to stimulate creatine kinase (CK) activity and [3H]thymidine incorporation into DNA via phosphoinositide turnover, in addition to its other actions via increased cyclic AMP production. We also found that mid-region fragments of PTH stimulate [3H]thymidine incorporation into avian chondrocytes. In the present study of mammalian systems, we demonstrate differential effects of defined synthetic PTH fragments on CK activity and DNA synthesis, as compared with cyclic AMP production, in osteoblast-enriched embryonic rat calvaria cell cultures, in an osteoblast-like clone of rat osteosarcoma cells (ROS 17/2.8) and in chondroblasts from rat epiphysial cartilage cell cultures. Unlike full-length bovine (b)PTH-(1-84) or the fully effective shorter fragment human (h)PTH-(1-34), fragments lacking the N-terminal region of the hormone did not increase cyclic AMP formation, whereas they did stimulate increases in both DNA synthesis and CK activity. Moreover, the PTH fragment hPTH-(28-48) at 10 microM inhibited the increase in cyclic AMP caused by 10 nM-bPTH-(1-84). The increase of CK activity in ROS 17/2.8 cells caused by bPTH-(1-84) or hPTH-(28-48) was completely inhibited by either cycloheximide or actinomycin D, as was shown previously for rat calvaria cell cultures. These results indicated the presence of a functional domain of PTH in the central part of the molecule which exerts its mitogenic-related effects on osteoblast- and chondroblast-like cells in a cyclic AMP-independent manner. Since cyclic AMP formation by PTH leads to bone resorption, specific mid-region fragments of PTH might prove suitable for use in vivo to induce bone formation without concomitant resorption. 相似文献

Fat cells isolated from the mesenteric adipose tissue of chickens (pullets) responded to glucagon with an increase in lipolysis and a sustained rise in cyclic adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate (cyclic AMP) over a 30-min incubation. The prolonged accumulation of cyclic AMP due to glucagon in chicken fat cells was primarily intracellular. In addition, there was little increase in cyclic AMP accumulation due to theophylline alone or potentiation of the increase due to glucagon. These data indicate that chicken fat cells, unlike rat fat cells, are relatively insensitive to theophylline. Neither lipolysis nor cyclic AMP accumulation by chicken fat cells was inhibited by free fatty acid to albumin ratios (3 to 7) which markedly reduced both events in rat fat cells. However, in the absence of albumin from the medium, lipolysis in chicken fat cells was reduced, but not to the same extent as in rat fat cells. Chicken fat cells did accumulate more intracellular free fatty acids in response to lipolytic agents than did rat fat cells. The uptake of oleate by rat and chicken fat cells was identical. Glucagon-induced accumulation of cyclic AMP by chicken fat cell ghosts was unaffected by added oleate. Under identical conditions glucagon-induced adenylate cyclase activity of rat fat cell ghosts was markedly inhibited by added oleate. Triglyceride lipase activity of the pH 5.2 precipitate from a 40,000 x g infranatant of homogenized fat cells from chickens was less sensitive than that from rat fat cells to the ratio of oleate to albumin. These results suggest that the maintenance of cyclic AMP levels in chicken fat cells incubated with lipolytic agents results from the relative insensitivity of chicken fat cells to free fatty acid inhibition of cyclic AMP accumulation. 相似文献

To study the effect of calcium ion on aromatization of an androgenic precursor to estradiol by the placenta, cultured term trophoblasts were used as a model system. Secretion of estradiol into the culture medium was regarded as indicating aromatization, since cells cultured with no androgenic precursors produced only insignificant amounts of estradiol. EGTA, verapamil and ionophore A23187 inhibited aromatization, while trifluoperazine, an inhibitor of the calcium-calmodulin complex, interfered with the stimulatory effect of cyclic AMP on aromatization. We conclude that calcium ion has an essential role in the aromatization of 4-androstene-3,17-dione to estradiol. The calcium-calmodulin complex is required for activation of aromatase by cyclic AMP. However, when flooded with calcium by ionophore A23187, the trophoblast is unable to effectively buffer calcium, and aromatization is inhibited. 相似文献

Sterol carrier protein 2 (SCP2) is believed to play an important role in the intracellular movement of cholesterol in steroidogenic cells. We examined the distribution of SCP2 gene expression in the rat ovary and the role of gonadotropins and cyclic AMP in the regulation of SCP2 mRNA levels. In situ hybridization revealed that the most steroidogenically active ovarian compartments (e.g., corpora lutea and theca cells) contain significant amounts of SCP2 mRNA whereas granulosa cells have modest levels. Gonadotropins, which promote follicular growth and luteinization, increased the ovarian content of SCP2 mRNA as assessed by Northern blotting along with increases in cytochrome P450scc mRNA. Using steroidogenic transformed rat granulosa cells (Grs-21), a cyclic AMP analogue (8-Br-cAMP) was found to increase SCP2 mRNA and protein levels within 24 h of treatment. P450scc mRNA was also induced whereas actin mRNA levels were not affected. The 8-Br-cAMP stimulation of SCP2 mRNA accumulation was completely inhibited by actinomycin D and cycloheximide. The cyclic AMP analogue also increased SCP2 mRNA levels in a non-steroid hormone producing transformed rat granulosa cell line Gs-8. We conclude that SCP2 gene expression in the ovary is correlated with the state of differentiation of granulosa cells. Gonadotropic hormones which stimulate luteinization of the cells increase SCP2 gene expression. These actions of gonadotropins appear to be mediated at least in part by cyclic AMP through a mechanism requiring ongoing RNA and protein synthesis. However, SCP2 gene expression is not obligatorily coupled to steroidogenic activity, as cyclic AMP analogues can increase SCP2 mRNA in a line of transformed ovarian granulosa cells incapable of synthesizing hormones. 相似文献

The effects of melatonin on pituitary adenylyl cyclase-activating polypeptide-induced increase of cyclic AMP and [Ca2+]i were studied in neonatal rat pituitary cells. The polypeptide increased cyclic AMP accumulation. In the presence of melatonin the increase of cyclic AMP was inhibited in a dose-dependent manner, the maximal inhibition was achieved with 1-10 nM melatonin. Pituitary adenylyl cyclase-activating polypeptide also increased [Ca2+]i in 30% of the pituitary cells and melatonin inhibited the effect. Most of the cells sensitive to adenylyl cyclase-activating polypeptide (77%) were also sensitive to GnRH, suggesting they are gonadotrophs. The remaining cells were not identified. The polypeptide-induced [Ca2+]i increase was inhibited in Ca2+-free medium in 2/3 of the cells indicating that Ca2+ influx was involved. To examine causal relationship between cyclic AMP and [Ca2+]i increase, we have studied the effect of adenylyl cyclase activation by forskolin on intracellular Ca2+ concentration. Forskolin had similar effects as adenylyl cyclase-activating polypeptide: it increased [Ca2+]i in the pituitary cells and the increase was dependent on presence of Ca2+ in the medium. Melatonin inhibited the forskolin induced [Ca2+]i increase. Our observations indicate that increase of cyclic AMP stimulates Ca2+ influx in the pituitary cells of neonatal rat and that this mechanism is involved in [Ca2+]i increase induced by the pituitary adenylyl cyclase-activating polypeptide. Because melatonin inhibits increase of cyclic AMP induced by pituitary adenylyl cyclase-activating polypeptide or forskolin, the inhibitory effect of melatonin on Ca2+-influx may be mediated by the decrease of cyclic AMP concentration. This mechanism of melatonin action has not been described previously. Because melatonin inhibits the polypeptide- or forskolin-induced [Ca2+]i also in the cells not sensitive to GnRH, melatonin receptors seem to be present on both gonadotrophs and non-gonadotrophic pituitary cells. 相似文献

Acid secretagogues induce Ca2+ mobilization coupled to K+ conductance activation in rat parietal cells in tissue culture 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Intracellular recordings from cultured parietal cells of the rat gastric fundus showed that carbachol, pentagastrin, histamine (in the presence of isobutylmethylxanthine; IBMX) and dibutyryl cyclic AMP induced hyperpolarizing responses which were sensitive to a K+ channel blocker, quinine. The Ca2+ ionophore, ionomycin, also induced a quinine-sensitive hyperpolarization. Deprivation of extracellular Ca2+ preferentially inhibited the hyperpolarizing responses to histamine (plus IBMX) and to dibutyryl cyclic AMP. Caffeine, oxalate and dantrolene sodium, which are known to affect Ca2+ transport in the endoplasmic reticulum, selectively inhibited the carbachol response. Mitochondrial inhibitors (KCN and carbonylcyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone) preferentially suppressed the gastrin response. Cytosolic Ca2+ measurements with fura-2 indicated that significant increases in the intracellular concentration of free Ca2+ were induced not only by Ca2+-mediated acid secretagogues (carbachol and gastrin), but also by a cyclic AMP-mediated secretagogue (histamine plus IBMX). Dibutyryl cyclic AMP also increased cytosolic Ca2+ ions. It is concluded that stimulation of receptors to histamine, carbachol and gastrin gives rise to mobilization of Ca2+ ions into the cytoplasm from the different sources, thereby stimulating Ca2+-activated K+ channels in cultured rat parietal cells. 相似文献

The large increase in cyclic AMP accumulation by rat white fat cells seen in the presence of lipolytic agents plus methylxanthines and adenosine deaminase was markedly inhibited by lactate. However, lipolysis was unaffected by lactate. Octanoate, hexanoate, heptanoate, and beta-hydroxybutyrate inhibited both cyclic AMP accumulation and lipolysis by rat fat cells. The mechanism by which these acids inhibit lipolysis differs from that for long chain fatty acids such as oleate. Oleate directly inhibited triglyceride lipase activity of homogenized rat adipose tissue. In contrast, octanoate, beta-hydroxybutyrate, and lacatate had no effect on triglyceride lipase activity. Hormone-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity of rat fat cell ghosts was inhibited by oleate and 4mM octanoate but not by 1.6 mM octanoate, heptanoate, hexanoate, beta-hydroxybutyrate or lactate. None of the acids affected the soluble protein kinase activity of rat adipose tissue. There was no stimulation by lactate, butyrate, beta-hydroxybutyrate, or octanoate of the soluble or particulate cyclic AMP antilipolytic action of a short chain acid such as octanoate or hexanoate was not accompanied by any drop in total fat cell ATP. The mechanism by which lactate lowers cyclic AMP but not lipolysis remains to be established. 相似文献

The action of adenosine on lutropin (LH)-stimulated cyclic AMP production and LH-induced desensitization of adenylate cyclase in rat Leydig tumour cells was investigated. Adenosine and N6-(phenylisopropyl)adenosine caused a dose-dependent potentiation of LH-stimulated cyclic AMP production at concentrations (0.01-10 microM) which alone did not produce an increase in cyclic AMP production. However, 2-deoxyadenosine had no effect either alone or in combination with LH on cyclic AMP production. The potentiation produced by adenosine was unaffected by concentrations of the specific nucleoside-transport inhibitor dipyridamole, which inhibited [3H]adenosine uptake by up to 90%. The phosphodiesterase inhibitor 3-isobutyl-l-methylxanthine, but not RO-10-1724, inhibited the adenosine-induced potentiation. In the presence of adenosine, the kinetics of LH-stimulated cyclic AMP production were linear with time up to 2h, compared with those with LH alone, which showed a characteristic decrease in rate of cyclic AMP production after the first 15-20 min. Consistent with the altered kinetics, adenosine also inhibited the LH-induced desensitization of adenylate cyclase. These results suggest that adenosine has effects on rat tumour Leydig cells through receptors on the external surface of the plasma membrane. This receptor has characteristics similar to those of the R-type receptors, which have been shown either to stimulate or to inhibit adenylate cyclase. However, the effects of adenosine in the present studies does not involve a direct inhibition or activation of adenylate cyclase, but may involve an as yet undefined receptor-mediated modulation of adenylate cyclase. 相似文献

Adrenergic receptor agonists and antagonists were employed to establish (a) which receptor subtypes mediate the cyclic AMP response to norepinephrine in hypothalamic and preoptic area slices from gonadectomized female rats and (b) which receptor subtypes might be modulated by the steroid hormone estradiol. Slice cyclic AMP levels were elevated by the beta receptor agonist isoproterenol, but not by alpha 1 (phenylephrine, methoxamine) or alpha 2 (clonidine) agonists. However, the alpha agonist phenylephrine potentiated the effect of the beta agonist isoproterenol on slice cyclic AMP accumulation. In slices from rats given no hormone treatment, the beta antagonist propranolol inhibited norepinephrine-stimulated cyclic AMP production, while the alpha 1 antagonist prazosin was without effect. In contrast, the cyclic AMP response to norepinephrine in slices from estradiol-treated rats was blocked more effectively by prazosin than by propranolol. Estradiol treatment also attenuated the production of cyclic AMP by the beta agonist isoproterenol. The data suggest (a) that norepinephrine induction of cyclic AMP accumulation in hypothalamic and preoptic area slices is mediated by beta receptors and potentiated by alpha receptor activation and (b) that estradiol depresses beta and increases alpha 1 receptor function in slices from brain regions associated with reproductive physiology. 相似文献

Prostaglandin H2 (PGH2) inhibited noradrenaline induced cyclic AMP accumulation in isolated rat fat cells in a dose-dependent manner. IC50 was 10-25 ng/ml both in the absence and in the presence of theophylline. The degree of inhibition produced by PGH2 increased with time of incubation. A stable PGH2 analog did not inhibit cyclic AMP accumulation. PGH2 was rapidly converted by isolated fat cells to PGD2, PGE2 and PGF2alpha' but no formation of thromboxane B2 was found either in vitro or in vivo. PGE2 was a more potent inhibitor than PGH2 of noradrenaline induced cyclic AMP accumulation. PGD2 enhanced cyclic AMP accumulation in a limited concentration interval, while PGF2alpha was essentially uneffective. Our results suggest that PGH2 is an inhibitor of cyclic AMP formation in isolated rat fat cells only after conversion to PGE2. A physiological role for PGH2 as a modulator of lipolysis is considered unlikely. 相似文献

Angiotensin II effects on cyclic AMP production and steroid output were studied in a sensitive preparation of isolated rat adrenal glomerulosa cells. With increasing concentrations of angiotensin II logarithmic dose-response curves for aldosterone and cyclic AMP production were similar. The minimum effective dose (0.2nm) for stimulation of aldosterone production also significantly (P<0.001) increased cyclic AMP output. For both aldosterone and cyclic AMP production, the peptide hormone concentration eliciting maximal response (0.2mum) and the ED(50) (median effective dose) values (1nm) were the same; this is consistent with cyclic AMP acting as an intracellular mediator for angiotensin II-stimulated aldosterone production by glomerulosa cells. The angiotensin II antagonist [Sar(1),Ala(8)]angiotensin II inhibited angiotensin II-stimulated corticosterone and aldosterone production in these cells. An equimolar concentration of antagonist halved the response to 20nm-angiotensin II, and complete inhibition was observed with 0.2mum-antagonist. In contrast, [Sar(1),Ala(8)]angiotensin II had no effect on maximally stimulated steroidogenesis induced by serotonin and a raised extracellular K(+) concentration. Increasing concentrations of [Sar(1),Ala(8)]angiotensin II alone decreased corticosterone and aldosterone outputs significantly (P<0.05) at concentrations of 20nm and 2nm of antagonist respectively. A significant (P<0.001) decrease in cyclic AMP production occurred with 2mum antagonist and this was comparable with the decrease in aldosterone production. It is concluded that [Sar(1),Ala(8)]angiotensin II can independently affect glomerulosa-cell steroidogenesis, possibly by modulating adenylate cyclase activity. 相似文献

The infusion of a solution containing triiodothyronine, amino acids, glucagon, and heparin (TAGH solution) triggered rat liver cell proliferation. It also induced a transient prereplicative surge of cytosolic calmodulin (between 6 and 20 hr postinfusion) similar to that observed in liver cells proliferatively activated by partial hepatectomy. The injection of the beta-adrenergic blocker dl-propanolol (20 mg/kg of body weight) at the time of the infusion prevented this transient rise of cytosolic calmodulin and also inhibited the early prereplicative surge of total liver cyclic AMP, which usually occurred between 1 and 4 hr after infusion. Propanolol also inhibited the early prereplicative surge of cyclic AMP and the increase of calmodulin in liver cells proliferatively activated by partial hepatectomy. The infusion of a solution containing cyclic AMP (5 mumoles) and theophylline (10 mg) into normal rats produced an increase of cytosolic calmodulin similar to that observed after infusion of TAGH solution or after partial hepatectomy. Thus it seems that the prereplicative rise of cytosolic calmodulin observed in proliferatively activated liver cells may be regulated by the early prereplicative surge of cyclic AMP. 相似文献

There appear to be considerable differences among tissues in the inhibitory action of adenosine 3′,5′-monophosphate (cyclic AMP) on phosphatidylinositol (PI) turnover induced by various extracellular signals. The present studies were on human peripheral lymphocytes and rat hepatocytes. In the lymphocyte system, cells are activated by phytohemagglutinin that induces PI turnover, and this PI turnover and cellular activation are profoundly blocked by dibutyryl cyclic AMP as well as by prostaglandin E1 which markedly increases cyclic AMP. In contrast, in the hepatocyte system, glycogenolysis is enhanced by α-agonists that induce PI turnover as well as by β-agonists and glucagon that increase cyclic AMP. In these cells the two classes of receptors appear to function independently, and PI turnover is not inhibited by cyclic AMP. 相似文献

Adenosine 3′,5′-monophosphate (cyclic AMP) and guanosine 3′,5′-monophosphate (cyclic GMP) metabolism in rat renal cortex was examined. Athough the cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP phosphodiesterases are similarly distributed between the soluble and particulate fractions following differential centrifugation, their susceptibility to inhibition by theophylline, dl-4-(3-butoxy-4-methoxybenzyl)-2-imidazolidinone (Ro 20-1724), and 1-methyl-3-isobutylxanthine (MIX) are quite different. Ro 20-1724 selectively inhibited both renal cortical-soluble and particulate cyclic AMP degradation, but had little effect on cyclic GMP hydrolysis. Theophylline and MIX effectively inhibited degradation of both cyclic nucleotides, with MIX the more potent inhibitor. Effects of these agents on the cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP content of cortical slices corresponded to their relative potency in broken cell preparations. Thus, in cortical slices, Ro 20-1724 (2 mm) had the least effect on basal (without agonist), carbamylcholine, and NaN3-stimulated cyclic GMP accumulation, but markedly increased basal and (parathyroid hormone) PTH-mediated cyclic AMP accumulation, MIX (2 mm) which was as effective as Ro 20-1724 in potentiating basal and PTH-stimulated increases in cyclic AMP also mediated the greatest augmentation of basal, carbamylcholine, and NaN3-stimulated accumulation of cyclic GMP. By contrast, theophylline (10 mm) which was only 12% as effective as Ro 20-1724 in increasing the total slice cyclic AMP content in the presence of PTH was much more effective than Ro 20-1724 in potentiating carbamylcholine and NaN3-mediated increases in cyclic GMP. These results demonstrate selective inhibition of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase activities in the rat renal cortex and support the possibility of multiple cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases in this tissue. Furthermore, both cyclic nucleotides appear to be rapidly degraded in the renal cortex. 相似文献

To examine whether or not the activation of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase is coupled to the exocytosis of amylase from rat parotid cells, the effect of protein kinase inhibitors on amylase release and protein phosphorylation was studied. A membrane-permeable inhibitor of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, N-[2-(methylamino)ethyl]-5-isoquinolinesulphonamide (H-8), and peptide fragments of the heat-stable protein kinase inhibitor [PKI-(5-24)-peptide and PKI-(14-24)-amide] strongly inhibited cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase activity in the cell homogenate. However, H-8 had no inhibitory effect on amylase release from either intact or saponin-permeabilized parotid cells stimulated by isoproterenol or cyclic AMP. Moreover, PKI-(5-24)-peptide and PKI-(14-24)-amide did not inhibit cyclic AMP-evoked amylase release from saponin-permeabilized cells, whereas cyclic AMP-dependent phosphorylations of 21 and 26 kDa proteins in intact or permeabilized cells were markedly inhibited by these inhibitors. These results suggest that cyclic AMP-dependent protein phosphorylation is not directly involved in the exocytosis of amylase regulated by cyclic AMP. 相似文献

The ionophore A23187 (6.7 microM) increased the rates of formation of prostaglandins and cyclic AMP in suspensions of thioglycollate-elicited rat peritoneal macrophages. Both effects were inhibited by the calmodulin blocker trifluoperazine (50 microM) and the calcium channel blocker verapamil (500 microM). Inhibitors of phospholipase A2 and cyclo-oxygenase also blocked both actions of A23187. The stimulated prostaglandin formation was markedly reduced when the cells were preincubated with 8-bromo-cyclic AMP (1mM), dibutyryl cyclic AMP (1mM) or cholera toxin (500ng/ml). Addition of exogenous arachidonic acid (30 microM) alleviated this inhibition. We propose that the effect of A23187 on macrophages includes a 'self-limiting' mechanism whereby newly-synthesized prostaglandins can inhibit, via cyclic AMP, a step(s) prior to the transformation of arachidonic acid and thus modulate their own production. 相似文献
