We examined the basal adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) levels and forskolin-induced cAMP accumulation in cultured Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO) expressing different levels of human beta(2)-adrenoceptors. Both the basal and forskolin-induced cAMP accumulation in the cells that express higher density of beta(2)-adrenoceptors (CHO-beta(2)/H; 560 fmol/mg protein) were larger than those in the cells that express lower density of beta(2)-adrenoceptors (CHO-beta(2)/L; 270 fmol/mg protein). In addition, isoproterenol-induced cAMP accumulation was also augmented as the number of beta(2)-adrenoceptors was increased. ICI 118,551, a selective beta(2)-adrenoceptor antagonist with inverse agonist properties, decreased all the levels of cAMP observed in both cell lines. These results suggest that the agonist-independent (constitutive) activity of beta(2)-adrenoceptors plays a key role in the control of forskolin-induced cAMP accumulation.

D000242 Cyclic AMP An adenine nucleotide containing one phosphate group which is esterified to both the 3'- and 5'-positions of the sugar moiety. It is a second messenger and a key intracellular regulator, functioning as a mediator of activity for a number of hormones, including epinephrine, glucagon, and ACTH.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D014162 Transfection The uptake of naked or purified DNA by CELLS, usually meaning the process as it occurs in eukaryotic cells. It is analogous to bacterial transformation (TRANSFORMATION, BACTERIAL) and both are routinely employed in GENE TRANSFER TECHNIQUES. Transfections
D016466 CHO Cells CELL LINE derived from the ovary of the Chinese hamster, Cricetulus griseus (CRICETULUS). The species is a favorite for cytogenetic studies because of its small chromosome number. The cell line has provided model systems for the study of genetic alterations in cultured mammalian cells. CHO Cell,Cell, CHO,Cells, CHO

D018343 Receptors, Adrenergic, beta-2 A subclass of beta-adrenergic receptors (RECEPTORS, ADRENERGIC, BETA). The adrenergic beta-2 receptors are more sensitive to EPINEPHRINE than to NOREPINEPHRINE and have a high affinity for the agonist TERBUTALINE. They are widespread, with clinically important roles in SKELETAL MUSCLE; LIVER; and vascular, bronchial, gastrointestinal, and genitourinary SMOOTH MUSCLE.
