Effects of cyclic adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate-elevating agents and retinoic acid on differentiation in retinoid-deficient tracheal cultures. 1985

L J Schiff, and S J Moore

The ability of cyclic AMP-elevating agents to induce normal differentiation has been investigated in retinoid-deficient hamster tracheal epithelium in organ culture. Dibutyryl cAMP (dbcAMP) and other cAMP-regulating agents alone caused disappearance of keratin and regeneration of normal mucociliary epithelium in retinoid-deficient cultures. Incubation of retinoid-deficient cultures with dbcAMP, isoproterenol, and cholera toxin (CT) (without addition of exogenous retinoid) reversed keratinization in a dose-dependent manner. The ED50 of cultures treated with dbcAMP was 4 X 10(-6) M; ED50 of isoproterenol was 7 X 10(-5) M; and CT, 0.6 micrograms/ml. Phosphodiesterase inhibitors and other cAMP analogs were inactive. Dibutyryl cAMP in combination with theophylline enhanced normal differentiation. Retinoid-deficient tracheas pretreated for 20 h with 10(-9) M all-trans-retinoic acid (RA) responded to 10(-6) M dbcAMP by potentiating normal differentiation; this concentration of dbcAMP alone was inactive. Isoproterenol showed a similar response but to a lesser degree. These cAMP-elevating agents applied in combination with theophylline did not increase activity.

D007633 Keratins A class of fibrous proteins or scleroproteins that represents the principal constituent of EPIDERMIS; HAIR; NAILS; horny tissues, and the organic matrix of tooth ENAMEL. Two major conformational groups have been characterized, alpha-keratin, whose peptide backbone forms a coiled-coil alpha helical structure consisting of TYPE I KERATIN and a TYPE II KERATIN, and beta-keratin, whose backbone forms a zigzag or pleated sheet structure. alpha-Keratins have been classified into at least 20 subtypes. In addition multiple isoforms of subtypes have been found which may be due to GENE DUPLICATION.

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.
