In the presence of 1 mM ATP in the external medium, TA3 mouse ascites tumor cells showed a dramatic loss of potassium and gain of sodium down their respective concentration gradients. The volume changes detected by size discrimination with the Coulter counter have been adequately confirmed by densim

β¦ Synopsis
When exogenous ATP is added to suspensions of TA3 ascites tumor cells suspended in Ca++ and Mg++ free media, a significant increase in cell volume can be measured. This increase is reversible upon addition of Ca++ and/or Mg++ back to the media.
The enlargement of these cells is temperature sensitive and specific for ATP; no other nucleotides, EDTA or ouabain were effective. The evidence suggests that this phenomena may be due to an alteration in membrane permeability and that the regulation of membrane permeability is an energy dependent process.

Exogenous ATP can induce a marked cell enlargement in TA3 tumor cells which can 'be reversed or prevented by Ca and Mg. This regulatory effect on cell volume is specific for ATP. The mechanism probably involves changes in cell ionic content. Received Nov. 14. '67. Acceuted Mav 15. '68. 1 Supported b
## Abstract The effect of exogenous adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and other nucleotides on the transport of Na in various mammalian red cells has been studied. While they have no effect on the transport of Na in human and cat red cells, in dog red cells adenosine and its monoβ, diβ, and triphosphory
The effect of temperature on intracellular ATP levels in cells of the ascitic Hepatoma 129 has been determined using an UV-enzymic method. ATP levels are found to vary inversely with temperature over the range (4"-37"C) studied, and this variation is found to be reversible. An indication of a possib
## Abstract The addition of glucose to ELD and ELT/B1 mouse ascites tumor cell suspensions caused a 2.3βfold increase in the phosphorylation state ratio, (ATP)/(ADP)(Pi), because of a decrease in the intracellular Pi concentration. The addition of glucose to these cell suspensions has been reported
## Abstract Withaferin A, a steroidal lactone with carcinostatic properties, isolated from the leaves of Withania somnifera Dun., produced a mitotic arrest in the metaphase of dividing Ehrlich ascites carcinoma cells. In addition this compound also induced vacuolization of the cytoplasm. A single d
