摘要
Possible roles of dibutyryladenosine 3′,5′-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) and dibutyrylguanosine 3′,5′-cyclic monophosphate (cGMP) in regulation of hepatocyte DNA synthesis were examined using primary cultures of young-adult rat hepatocytes maintained in arginine-free medium. Throughout the experimental period, nonparenchymal cells were hardly observed in the selective medium. When epidermal growth factor (EGF) was added to the cultures, a transient increase in the intracellular cAMP level preceded the elevation of hepatocyte DNA synthesis. EGF-stimulated hepatocyte DNA synthesis was remarkably enhanced by the elevation of the intracellular cAMP level induced by treatment with cAMP alone or a combination of cAMP and theophylline, an inhibitor of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase. Furthermore, the early elevation of intracellular cAMP alone, which was induced by treatment with the combination of cAMP and theophylline, caused a remarkable increase in hepatocyte DNA synthesis. On the other hand, addition of EGF to the cultures caused a rapid decrease in the intracellular cGMP level followed by an increase in hepatocyte DNA synthesis. EGF-stimulated hepatocyte DNA synthesis was severely suppressed or completely inhibited by the elevation of the intracellular cGMP level induced by treatment with cGMP alone or a combination of cGMP and dipyridamole, a specific inhibitor of cGMP phosphodiesterase. These findings indicate that cAMP and cGMP act oppositely on the regulation of DNA synthesis of young-adult rat hepatocytes in primary culture: cAMP plays a positive role, whereas cGMP plays a negative role. Also it is strongly suggested that an early elevation of the intracellular cAMP level is essential for the onset of DNA synthesis in hepatocyte primary cultures. © 1992.
