The cyclic AMP metabolism of cultured epithelial cells was investigated. Epinephrine or 1-methyl,3-isobutylxanthine (MIX) alone had no effect on cyclic AMP levels in intact cells, whereas the combination of the two agents yielded a 6- to 10-fold increase in cyclic AMP levels. Both basal and stimulated cyclic AMP levels decreased with increasing cell density. Cell-free adenylate cyclase preparations were stimulated markedly by epinephrine or isoproterenol in the absence of MIX. Since the epithelial cells were found to have a relatively small amount of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (PDE) activity, the requirement for MIX to visualize intact cell responsiveness to epinephrine could be explained only partially by its PDE inhibitory properties.
