✦ Synopsis

Abstract

The increase in tyrosine aminotransferase activity which occurs in rat hepatoma tissue culture (HTC) cells in response to cyclic AMP analogs has been shown to be an enzyme induction, similar to the larger response observed in certain other hepatoma cells and in liver. A specific antibody to tyrosine aminotransferase has been used to show that the number of enzyme molecules and the rate of enzyme synthesis are increased by N^6^,O^2′^‐dibutyryl cyclic AMP in HTC cells. The effect on tyrosine aminotransferase is also produced by various 8‐substituted derivatives of cyclic AMP and occurs whether or not the enzyme has been preinduced with a glucocorticoid. The response of the enzyme is greater when HTC cells are maintained in monolayer than in suspension cultures. Neither cell growth nor serum is required for the response.
