Abstract
The morphology of Earle's L cells is radically altered after incubation with adenosine 3′5′‐cyclic monophosphate (cyclic AMP) and cell growth is inhibited. The concentration of nucleotide required to completely inhibit cell growth depends on the initial cell density although the breakdown of cyclic AMP in the supernatant fluid to adenosine is independent of the cell density. A decrease in mitotic index is noted several hours after the addition of cyclic AMP, while a reduction in the fraction of cells in S is only observed after 2 days. Upon removal of the drug an increase in the number of cells synthetizing DNA (as detected autoradiographically) is observed well before the increase of mitotic rate. These results suggest that cells are blocked in moving through S to G2. Cells resume normal growth rates and morphology only 6–8 days after the removal of cyclic AMP, but can then be propagated indefinitely.

## Abstract Adenosine and colchicine have antagonistic effects on cell shape. When Chinese Hamster lung fibroblasts (CHE36‐6) or SV40 transformed 3T3 (SV3T3) cells are incubated with colchicine (1 μM) for one hour at 37°C, they round up into spheres with short spikes. Cells treated with adenosine (
## Abstract The uptake of 2‐deoxy‐D‐glucose by hamster embryo cells was stimulated by preincubation with 1 mM dibutyryl cyclic adenosine 3′:5′ monophosphate (dibutyryl cAMP) and theophylline for 24 h. The increase in uptake depended on the concentration of dibutyryl cAMP and was accelerated by a co
We have investigated the effect of 8-Br-cyclic adenosine 3':5' monophosphate (cAMP), a pharmacological activator of cAMP-dependent protein kinase, on the proliferation and the nuclear proto-oncogene induction in a murine granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF)-dependent myeloid cel
