✦ Synopsis

The goal of this work was to find a method suitable for the extraction of adenine nucleotides from cultured vascular endothelial cells. Extraction of cell monolayers with 80% methanol in water yielded extracts with a higher content of ATP than did extraction of cells with perchloric acid, trichloroacetic acid, or boiling water. The optimal extraction solution was 80% methanol with 0.5 mM ethylene glycol bis(beta-aminoethyl ether) N,N'-tetraacetic acid (EGTA) or EDTA, heated to 70 degrees C immediately before use. Extraction of nucleotides by this solution was rapid and the recovery of exogenous ATP added during the extraction process was generally greater than 90%. An aqueous methanol or ethanol solution may be applicable for the extraction of nucleotides and other metabolites from cultured animal cells, dispersed cells, and frozen, powdered tissues.

Cultured chick heart muscle cells degrade ATP during metabolic inhibition via ADP to AMP. Whether AMP is primarily deaminated to IMP or dephosphorylated to adenosine depends on the 'metabolic block' (glycolysis vs. oxidative phosphorylation). Inhibition of glycolysis (deoxyglucose) results in an ino
