Ultrastructural changes and cyclic AMP in frog oxyntic cells.

Ultrastructural changes and cyclic AMP in frog oxyntic cells

In vitro frog gastric mucosa was employed as a model for a combined physiological, biochemical, and ultrastructural study of the morphological changes which accompany the onset of acid secretion by the oxyntic cell. The histamine H2-receptor antagonist metiamide was used to provide a reproducible control state. Stimulation of acid production by theophylline resulted in a 10-fold increase in pla...

Cyclic AMP-induced p53 Destabilization is Independent of CREB in pre-B Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Cells

Elevated cAMP levels in B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL) cells attenuate the doxorubicin-induced p53 accumulation and protect cells against apoptosis. cAMP responsive element binding protein (CREB) is a cAMP-stimulated transcription factor that regulates genes whose deregulated expression cooperatein oncogenesis. In the present study, we investigated the role of CREB on i...

Ultrastructural localization of cyclic GMP and cyclic AMP in rat striatum

The subcellular localization of cyclic GMP and cyclic AMP in the rat caudate-putamen has been studied using horseradish peroxidase immunocytochemistry. Both of the putative neurotransmitter second messengers were visualized in neurons and glial cells at light microscopic resolutions, but not all cells of either category gave detectable staining. This was confirmed at the ultrastructural level w...

آدنوزین منوفسفات حلقوی ( Cyclic AMP )

Changes in cyclic AMP levels during development in Myxococcus xanthus.

Cyclic AMP levels doubled in Myxococcus xanthus under conditions in which cells aggregate and form fruiting bodies. In liquid medium, glycerol- or dimethyl sulfoxide-induced sporulating cultures exhibited a sharp but transient rise in cyclic AMP concentration after 45 min.
