Effects of carbamylcholine and ionophore A-23187 on cyclic 3',5'-AMP and cyclic 3',5'-GMP accumulation in dog-thyroid slices.

Abstract:

:Carbamylcholine and acetylcholine through a muscarinic type of receptor, KCl, ionophore A-23187 and NaF increased cyclic GMP accumulation in dog-thyroid slices. These effects were abolished in calcium-depleted slices, which findings confirm that Ca2+ is required for cyclic GMP accumulation. All these agents depressed the accumulation of cyclic AMP in TSH-stimulated slices. KCl and NaF depressed cyclic AMP accumulation in TSH-treated slices even when they had been depleted of Ca2+. This suggests a cyclic GMP- and Ca2+-independent mechanism. The absence of inhibition of the effects of the ionophore, NaF and KCl in the presence of atropine suggests that these drugs do not act by inducing the release of acetylcholine in the slices. The effects of carbamylcholine and ionophore A-23187 on cyclic GMP accumulation and protein iodination were reversible; the inhibitions of TSH-induced cyclic AMP accumulation and secretion were non-competitive and were not accompanied by a depression of ATP levels. All these effects were greatly decreased in the absence of extracellular Ca2+. These data suggest that carbamylcholine and ionophore A-23187 act mainly by increasing the influx of extracellular Ca2+ in thyroid cells. However, the persistence of some carbamylcholine effect in the absence of Ca2+ in the medium suggests that this agent may also trigger the release of Ca2+ from an intrafollicular pool. The kinetics of action of carbamylcholine are compatible with a role of cyclic GMP in the inhibition of cyclic AMP accumulation. However, with the ionophore, the depression of cyclic AMP accumulation was much longer than the rise of cyclic GMP, which suggests a mechanism independent of cyclic GMP.
