dc.description.abstract | Primary keratinocyte cultures free of dermal fibroblasts were used to investigate the effect of varying cyclic AMP (cAMP) concentrations on epidermal cell function. Addition of 10-3, 10-4 or 10-5 M dibutyryl cAMP to plated cells (day 1) results by day 5 in a dose dependent increase of [3H]TdR incorporation into DNA as determined by increases in both the labeling index and incorporation of 3H label into an isolated DNA fraction. 8-Bromo cAMP, another cAMP analogue, likewise induced keratinocyte proliferation. The proliferative response was dose and time dependent, and 5- to 6-fold increases in 3H label incorporated into DNA were seen at day 6, 8 and up until day 15 of culture. Moreover, elevation of cellular cAMP by addition of cholera toxin, an irreversible stimulator of adenylate cyclase, also demonstrated a time dependent stimulation of [3H]TdR uptake into DNA and increased the labeling index. Specific histochemical staining for keratinaceous protein (Kreyberg technique) demonstrated that elevated cAMP levels also enhance the production of specialized (differentiated) epidermal cells. Determination of the level of cAMP and cyclic GMP (cGMP) by RIA of partially purified fractions of the cultures revealed that addition of 8-bromo cAMP or cholera toxin to the cultures increased the levels of cAMP but not of cGMP. Addition of 8-bromo cGMP to the keratinocytes on day 1 at concentrations of 10-6, 10-7 or 10-8 M had no effect on culture proliferation on days 4, 6 and 8, although qualitative changes in the electron microscopic pattern of the culture stratification and specialization were observed. The results indicate (1) both large and moderate increases in cellular cAMP levels induce keratinocyte culture proliferation and specialization in the absence of fibroblasts or dermal influences, (2) the quantitative enhancement of keratinocyte growth and specialization occurs without apparent participation of cGMP, (3) cGMP may be a qualitative effector of epidermal cell differentiation. | en_US |
