Abstract:
:The capacity of cultured bovine adrenal medullary cells to metabolize and export cyclic AMP has been studied. Basal cellular cyclic AMP levels were increased 50% by 100 microM 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX) and rolipram, a class IV (cyclic AMP-specific) phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitor. They were not affected by inhibition of class I (Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent), class III (cyclic GMP-inhibited) or class V PDE (cyclic GMP-specific) with vinpocetine or 3-isobutyl-8-methoxymethyl-1-methylxanthine (8-methoxymethyl-IBMX), SK&F 94120, or MB 22,948, respectively, all at 100 microM. Furthermore, only IBMX and rolipram enhanced the cyclic AMP response to 0.3 microM forskolin. Rolipram had an EC50 of < or = 1 microM and was equally effective at 100 microM and 1 mM. IBMX enhanced cyclic AMP levels significantly more at 1 mM than at 100 microM. Neither vinpocetine nor 8-methoxymethyl-IBMX (100 microM) enhanced the Ca(2+)-dependent cyclic AMP response to K+ depolarization. Elevation of cyclic GMP levels with sodium nitroprusside (10 or 100 microM), to activate any cyclic GMP-stimulated class II PDE and to inhibit any cyclic GMP-inhibited class III PDE, also had no effect on basal or forskolin-stimulated cyclic AMP levels. In the presence of IBMX (1 mM), forskolin (5 microM) caused a rapid and large increase in cellular cyclic AMP levels which was maximal after about 5 min and declined slightly over 3 hr. Over this period, extracellular cyclic AMP levels rose almost linearly reaching levels 2-3 times those in the cells. The results indicate bovine adrenal medullary cells have a high capacity for sustained cyclic AMP export. Furthermore, two PDE isozymes appear to degrade cyclic AMP in these cells, a rolipram-sensitive, cyclic AMP-specific, class IV isozyme and a rolipram-insensitive isoform.
