Differentiation-associated increase of cAMP-dependent type II protein kinase in a murine preadipose cell line (ST 13)
Authors:M Sato  A Hiragun  H Mitsui
Abstract:The activity of cAMP-dependent protein kinase and cAMP binding activity were studied during the differentiation of ST 13 murine preadipocytes into adipocytes. We found that both activities were marginally detectable in preadipose cells and increased remarkably when the cells were induced to differentiate, preceding by several days the morphological adipose conversion. The increased cAMP-dependent protein kinase was identified as type II enzyme by means of DEAE-Sephacel chromatography and by photoaffinity labeling with 8-azido[3H]cAMP. We further showed that the increase of protein kinase activity was specific to cell differentiation with the aid of modulators of the adipose conversion (insulin, fetal bovine serum, retinoic acid and 5-bromodeoxy-uridine). We propose that the increased expression of type II cAMP-dependent protein kinase would be a biochemical index of differentiation in ST 13 preadipocytes.
