Addition of prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) to quiescent cultures of Swiss 3T3 cells rapidly elevates the intracellular levels of cAMP and increases the activity of adenylate cyclase in particulate fractions of these cells. In the presence of insulin, PGE1 stimulates the reinitiation of DNA synthesis. Both

β¦ Synopsis
The effect of time-controlled exposures to cholera toxin (CT) on intracellular levels of cyclic AMP (CAMP) and on the proliferative response of serumstimulated 3T3 cells was investigated. Continuous exposure to CT caused up to 8-fold raises in cAMP content and inhibited DNA replication by delaying G1-S transition and by reducing the fraction of cells committed to DNA replication. In contrast, short exposures to CT during Go-G1 transition increased the fraction of cells responding to serum stimulation and potentiated the serum-induced morphological changes in the cell monolayer. A short exposure during late G1 phase, however, inhibited the onset of DNA synthesis but had little effect on ongoing DNA replication. The results indicate that cAMP has diverse and opposite effects on two defined restriction points in cell cycle control. Cyclic AMP was positively involved in the acquisition of the state of competence by quiescent cells (Go-G1 transition) but antagonistic on the onset of DNA replication (G,-S transition) in committed cells. The observations reconcile a number of controversial conclusions regarding the role of cAMP in cell cycle control.

The purpose of this study was to determine whether cyclic AMP (cAMP) plays any direct or indirect role in the antiproliferative effect of mouse L-cell interferon in Swiss 3T3 cells. Firstly, we found that interferon did not affect intracellular levels of cAMP in these cells in the absence or the pre

In cells pretreated with PGF2Ξ± and 8βbromo cAMP for 8 h, a synergy between these two agents on glucose uptake was found. Insulinβstimulated glucose transport, on the other h
