3':5'-cyclic AMP: independent induction of amino acid transport by epinephrine in primary cultures of adult rat liver cells.

Pariza MW, Butcher FR, Becker JE, Potter VR

Abstract

Liver cells were obtained from adult rats by a collagenase perfusion technique and cultured as monolayers in serum-free media. Epinephrine and isoproterenol both induced large increases in intracellular adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate (cAMP) within 1-2 min whereas epinephrine (but not isoproterenol) induced 2- to 3-fold increases in the rate of alpha-aminoisobutyric acid transport within 2-4 hr after a 1 hr lag. Propranolol abolished the increase in cAMP elicited by epinephrine and isoproterenol, but did not block the induction of alpha-aminoisobutyric acid transport by epinephrine. In contrast, dihydroergotamine abolished and phentolamine diminished the induction of alpha-aminoisobutyric acid transport by epinephrine but did not decrease the stimulation of cAMP levels by epinephrine. Epinephrine dose response curves for cAMP and alpha-aminoisobutyric acid transport were similar. Once exposed to epinephrine, cells became refractory to further stimulation of cAMP levels by epinephrine.
