The specific inhibitor of cAMP phosphodiesterase theophylline has been shown to evoke in L929 cells 2.3-fold induction of 2-5A-synthetase activity and 3.5-fold superinduction of the same enzyme activity while acting in combination with actinomycin D. It has been shown also that temporal coincidence of 2-5A-synthetase induction with the active period of interferon production resulted in 8-16 times decrease in the level of interferon production. The result was supported by the experiments of superinduced cells (containing the high stable level of 2-5A-synthetase) fusion with monolayer of poly(I).poly(C)-induced L929 cells (taken at the start of interferon production). In this case the production of interferon was dramatically decreased in comparison with the control. Possible role of 2-5A-synthetase in regulation of interferon production is discussed.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007372 Interferons Proteins secreted by vertebrate cells in response to a wide variety of inducers. They confer resistance against many different viruses, inhibit proliferation of normal and malignant cells, impede multiplication of intracellular parasites, enhance macrophage and granulocyte phagocytosis, augment natural killer cell activity, and show several other immunomodulatory functions. Interferon

D003609 Dactinomycin A compound composed of a two CYCLIC PEPTIDES attached to a phenoxazine that is derived from STREPTOMYCES parvullus. It binds to DNA and inhibits RNA synthesis (transcription), with chain elongation more sensitive than initiation, termination, or release. As a result of impaired mRNA production, protein synthesis also declines after dactinomycin therapy.

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.

D013806 Theophylline A methyl xanthine derivative from tea with diuretic, smooth muscle relaxant, bronchial dilation, cardiac and central nervous system stimulant activities. Theophylline inhibits the 3',5'-CYCLIC NUCLEOTIDE PHOSPHODIESTERASE that degrades CYCLIC AMP thus potentiates the actions of agents that act through ADENYLYL CYCLASES and cyclic AMP. 1,3-Dimethylxanthine,3,7-Dihydro-1,3-dimethyl-1H-purine-2,6-dione,Accurbron,Aerobin,Aerolate,Afonilum Retard,Aquaphyllin,Armophylline,Bronchoparat,Bronkodyl,Constant-T,Elixophyllin,Euphylong,Glycine Theophyllinate,Lodrane,Monospan,Nuelin,Nuelin S.A.,Quibron T-SR,Slo-Phyllin,Somophyllin-T,Sustaire,Synophylate,Theo Von Ct,Theo-24,Theo-Dur,Theobid,Theocin,Theoconfin Continuous,Theodur,Theolair,Theolix,Theon,Theonite,Theopek,Theophylline Anhydrous,Theophylline Sodium Glycinate,Theospan,Theostat,Theovent,Uniphyl,Uniphyllin,Uniphylline,1,3 Dimethylxanthine,Anhydrous, Theophylline,Constant T,ConstantT,Ct, Theo Von,Glycinate, Theophylline Sodium,Quibron T SR,Quibron TSR,Slo Phyllin,SloPhyllin,Sodium Glycinate, Theophylline,Somophyllin T,SomophyllinT,Theo 24,Theo Dur,Theo24,Theophyllinate, Glycine,Von Ct, Theo
D015088 2',5'-Oligoadenylate Synthetase An enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of ATP into a series of (2'-5') linked oligoadenylates and pyrophosphate in the presence of double-stranded RNA. These oligonucleotides activate an endoribonuclease (RNase L) which cleaves single-stranded RNA. Interferons can act as inducers of these reactions. 2',5'-Oligoadenylate Polymerase,2-5A Synthetase,(2'-5')An Polymerase,2',5'-Oligo(A) Polymerase,2',5'-Oligo(A) Synthetase,2,5 Oligoadenylate Polymerase,2,5 Oligoadenylate Synthetase,ATP-(2'-5')oligo(A)adenylyltransferase,2',5' Oligoadenylate Polymerase,2',5' Oligoadenylate Synthetase,Oligoadenylate Polymerase, 2,5,Oligoadenylate Synthetase, 2,5,Polymerase, 2',5'-Oligoadenylate,Polymerase, 2,5 Oligoadenylate,Synthetase, 2',5'-Oligoadenylate,Synthetase, 2,5 Oligoadenylate
