## Abstract The following evidence suggests that inhibition of hepatoma cell (HTC) growth by cyclic nucleotides is an adenosineβlike effect that is greatly modified by the type and treatment of serum used in the culture medium and is probably not mediated by cyclic AMPβdependent protein kinase: (1)

β¦ Synopsis
Friend virus-transformed mouse erythroleukemia (MEL) cells can be induced to undergo erythroid differentiation by a variety of compounds, including dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and the adenosine analog xylosyladenine. The present studies have monitored the effects of the stable adenosine receptor ligand N6-phenylisopropyladenosine (PIA) on induction of MEL cell differentiation. PIA has been previously shown to stimulate adenylate cyclase activity in rat hepatic and mouse Leydig 1-10 cells as well as inhibit adenylate cyclase in adipocytes. In the present study, PIA was ineffective as an inducer of the differentiated MEL cell phenotype. However, the results demonstrate that PIA inhibits the induction of MEL cell differentiation by DMSO and xylosyladenine. The extent of this inhibition as determined by benzidine staining, induction of globin RNA, and loss of self-renewal capacity was dependent on PIA concentration. The results also demonstrate that PIA induces a rapid and sustained increase in cyclic AMP (CAMP) levels. Furthermore, there was a highly significant correlation between cAMP levels and inhibition of xylosyladenine-induced differentiation (r = 0.962, P < 0.0005). This relationship is further supported by the demonstration that prostaglandins El and E2 increase MEL cell cAMP levels and inhibit induction of the differentiated MEL cell phenotype. Moreover, PIA inhibited induction of MEL cell differentiation by butyric acid, diazepam, hypoxanthine, and the aminonucleoside analog of puromycin. These results suggest that cAMP may act as a negative regulatory signal in the induction of MEL cell differentiation.
Certain growth hormones and physiologic messengers are postulated to regulate cell function by controlling the activity of membrane-bound adenylate cyclase. For

Cyclic AMP plays an important regulatory role in transport activity and proliferation of renal MDCK cells. This observation and the ability of MDCK cells to synthesize prostaglandins provided the impetus to assess the hypothesis that endogenous prostaglandins modulate cyclic AMP concentrations in MD
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
