Effect of cyclic nucleotides, isoproterenol and cholera toxin on DNA synthesis triggered by mitogens. 1978

M Emin, and S Dubiski, and B Cinader

The effect of cyclic nucleotides, isoproterenol and cholera toxin on phytohaemagglutinin (PHA), concanavalin A (Con A) and anti-allotype-induced rabbit lymphoid cell proliferation was examined. Cholera toxin in concentrations ranging from 10(-8) microgram to 1 microgram per culture inhibited DNA synthesis, triggered by PHA, Con A and nocardia water-soluble mitogen (NWSM). It had the opposite effect on stimulation with antibodies directed against allotypic specificities of the immunoglobulin light chains: over the entire range of tested concentrations, cholera toxin stimulated DNA synthesis triggered by antibodies to Ab4, Ab5, Ab9 and to Aa1 allotypic specificities. Relatively high concentrations of dibutyryl adenosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) and isoproterenol (10(-3) M) inhibited mitogen-stimulated thymidine incorporation; lower concentrations (10(-9) M) had an enhancing effect. A similar enhancing effect was observed when high (10(-3) M) concentrations of dibutyryl guanosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate (cGMP) were used.

D008213 Lymphocyte Activation Morphologic alteration of small B LYMPHOCYTES or T LYMPHOCYTES in culture into large blast-like cells able to synthesize DNA and RNA and to divide mitotically. It is induced by INTERLEUKINS; MITOGENS such as PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS, and by specific ANTIGENS. It may also occur in vivo as in GRAFT REJECTION.

D008934 Mitogens Substances that stimulate mitosis and lymphocyte transformation. They include not only substances associated with LECTINS, but also substances from streptococci (associated with streptolysin S) and from strains of alpha-toxin-producing staphylococci.

D011817 Rabbits A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.

D002772 Cholera Toxin An ENTEROTOXIN from VIBRIO CHOLERAE. It consists of two major protomers, the heavy (H) or A subunit and the B protomer which consists of 5 light (L) or B subunits. The catalytic A subunit is proteolytically cleaved into fragments A1 and A2. The A1 fragment is a MONO(ADP-RIBOSE) TRANSFERASE. The B protomer binds cholera toxin to intestinal epithelial cells and facilitates the uptake of the A1 fragment. The A1 catalyzed transfer of ADP-RIBOSE to the alpha subunits of heterotrimeric G PROTEINS activates the production of CYCLIC AMP. Increased levels of cyclic AMP are thought to modulate release of fluid and electrolytes from intestinal crypt cells.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D006152 Cyclic GMP Guanosine cyclic 3',5'-(hydrogen phosphate). A guanine nucleotide containing one phosphate group which is esterified to the sugar moiety in both the 3'- and 5'-positions. It is a cellular regulatory agent and has been described as a second messenger. Its levels increase in response to a variety of hormones, including acetylcholine, insulin, and oxytocin and it has been found to activate specific protein kinases.
