A method for measuring relative changes in guanosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate in mouse neuroblastoma cells on muscarinic cholinergic stimulation. 1978

P G Strange

A convenient, inexpensive assay was developed for measuring relative changes in cyclic GMP in whole mouse neuroblastoma cells (clone NIE 115) based on labelling the cellular GTP pool with [8(-3)H]guanine. The time course of cell labelling and the distribution of radioactivity among possible products were studied; GTP is the only major labelled species. Radioactive cyclic GMP produced from the radioactive GTP on cell stimulation is isolated by column chromatography nad its identity has been rigorously established by paper chromatography and ion-exchange chromatography. The assay was used to study the time course of the cyclic GMP changes that occur after stimulation of neuroblastoma cells with carbamoylcholine and the dependence of the cyclic GMP changes on the carbamoylcholine concentration. The assay gives results comparable with those obtained by using a radioimmunoassay for cyclic GMP and should be applicable to other whole-cell and tissue-slice systems.

D009447 Neuroblastoma A common neoplasm of early childhood arising from neural crest cells in the sympathetic nervous system, and characterized by diverse clinical behavior, ranging from spontaneous remission to rapid metastatic progression and death. This tumor is the most common intraabdominal malignancy of childhood, but it may also arise from thorax, neck, or rarely occur in the central nervous system. Histologic features include uniform round cells with hyperchromatic nuclei arranged in nests and separated by fibrovascular septa. Neuroblastomas may be associated with the opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome.

D002845 Chromatography Techniques used to separate mixtures of substances based on differences in the relative affinities of the substances for mobile and stationary phases. A mobile phase (fluid or gas) passes through a column containing a stationary phase of porous solid or liquid coated on a solid support. Usage is both analytical for small amounts and preparative for bulk amounts. Chromatographies
D006147 Guanine
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.
