Induction of 2'-5'-oligoadenylatesynthetase (2-5A synthetase) by interferons and theophylline by means of activation of cAMP-system in interferon susceptible and resistant cell lines were studied. In interferon resistant cell lines the basal activity of 2-5A synthetase exceeded the level of the same enzyme in interferon susceptible cell lines. Activity of 2-5A synthetase is increased in interferon susceptible cell lines by interferon treatment, but the activity of the enzyme is not altered in interferon resistant cell lines. Among the studied cell lines the induction of 2-5A synthetase by theophylline was possible only in L929 cell line. The common mechanism for the absence of 2-5A synthetase induction by interferon and theophylline in interferon resistant cells 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

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
