Growth of mammary carcinoma induced by 7,12-dimethyl-benz(a) anthracene is arrested by either ovariectomy or treatment with N6,O2-dibutyryl cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (dibutyryl cyclic AMP). When this occurs, a new nonhistone protein species becomes the predominant endogenous substrate of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase in the tumor nuclei. Phosphorylation of this regression-associated protein ceases when resumption of tumor growth is induced by either the injection of 17 beta-estradiol or cessation of dibutyryl cyclic AMP treatment. Thus phosphorylation of regression-associated protein may play a role in the regression of hormone-dependent mammary tumors.

A new protein kinase-dependent phosphorylation occurs in the nuclei of hormone-dependent, 7,12-dimethylbenz[alpha]anthracene (DMBA)-induced mammary carcinoma following preincubation of tumor slices with cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP). The presence of 17beta-estradiol in the medium inhibits this effect. Both events have been observed in vivo in the nuclei of DMBA-induced tumors. The phosphorylation pattern of nuclei in hormone-independent mammary tumor, DMBA No. 1, however, is not affected by preincubation with either cAMP or estrogen. These findings suggest that the antagonistic effect of cAMP and estrogen in the growth control of mammary tumors is exerted through a specific action on nuclear protein phosphorylation and that these events correlate with the hormone-dependency of the tumors.

During the growth arrest of 7,12-dimethylbenz(alpha) anthracene-induced rat mammary carcinomas following ovariectomy or N6, O2'-dibutyryl cyclic adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate (DBcAMP) treatment, a change in the specific estrogen and cAMP binding to tumor proteins is observed. Three days after ovariectomy or DBcAMP treatment of the hosts, cAMP binding increases 5- and 2-fold in the nuclei and cytosol of tumors, respectively, whereas nuclear and cytoplasmic estrogen binding decreases by 70 and 25%, respectively. These changes in cAMP- and estrogen-binding activities are detectable within 1 day after ovariectomy or DBcAMP treatment, and the changes are reversed when resumption of tumor growth is induced by the injection of estradiol valerate or cessation of DBcAMP treatment. When 7,12-dimethylbenz(alpha)anthracene-induced tumors fail to regress after ovariectomy or DBcAMP treatment, the change in estrogen and cAMP binding does not occur. Concomitant with the increase of cAMP-binding activity in regressing tumors are increases in histone kinase activity and the cAMP content of the tumors. These increases in cAMP-binding and protein kinase activities are blocked by cycloheximide. These data suggest an interaction between a steroid hormone and cAMP in the growth control of a hormone-dependent mammary tumor.

Adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cyclic AMP) receptor protein of 56,000 daltons increases markedly in mammary tumors induced by 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA) after incubation of tumor slices with cyclic AMP, benzamide, and arginine. Incubation of cytosol from these tumor slices with nuclei from unincubated tumors results in nuclear uptake of the 56,000-dalton cyclic AMP receptor and in phosphorylation of the 76,000-dalton nuclear protein. Binding of the 56,000-dalton receptor and phosphorylation of the 76,000-dalton protein also occur in DMBA tumor nuclei when protein kinase type II of bovine heart is used. The results suggest that cyclic AMP receptor is involved in the nuclear events of a hormone-dependent mammary tumor.

1. Stretch-activated anion currents were studied in sino-atrial and atrial cells using the whole-cell patch clamp technique. With continuous application of positive pressure (5-15 cmH2O) through the patch clamp electrode, the cell was inflated and the membrane conductance was increased. 2. Voltage clamp steps revealed that the stretch-activated currents had time-independent characteristics. The increase in membrane conductance was reversible on subsequent application of negative pressure to the electrode. 3. The reversal potential of the stretch-activated currents was shifted by 60 mV for a 10-fold change in intracellular Cl- concentration, while it was unaffected by replacement of Na+ in the extracellular solution by N-methyl-D-glucamine. Cell superfusion with Cl(-)-deficient solution (10 mM Cl-) reduced the amplitude of outward current. These findings indicate that the stretch-activated conductance is Cl- selective. 4. The sequence of anion permeability through the stretch-activated conductance was determined to be I-(1.7) > NO3-(1.5) > Br-(1.2) > Cl-(1.0) > and F-(0.6). SCN- appeared to be more permeant than I-. 5. The stretch-activated conductance was reduced by the Cl- channel blockers, 4,4'-dinitrostilbene-2,2'-disulphonic acid disodium salt, 4-acetamido-4'-isothiocyanatostilbene-2,2'-disulphonic acid or anthracene-9-carboxylate (9-AC). Administration of furosemide or bumetanide had no effect. 6. The stretch-activated Cl- current was recorded even though intracellular Ca2+ ions were chelated by including 10 mM EGTA in the pipette solution. Neither the specific peptide inhibitor of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (50 microM), nor the non-selective blocker of protein kinases, H-7 (20 microM), was effective in reducing the stretch-activated Cl- current, suggesting that the stretch-activated Cl- current is a novel type of cardiac Cl- current, which shows a different modulatory mechanism from that of other cardiac Cl- currents.

A variety of anthraquinone (anthracene-9,10-dione) derivatives inhibits rat brain Ca(2+)- and phospholipid-activated protein kinase C (PKC) of which the most potent inhibitors are mitoxantrone (1,4-dihydroxy-5,8-bis[2-(hydroxyethylamino)-ethylamino]-9,10- anthracenedione) (IC50 4 microM) and quinalizarin (1,2,5,8-tetrahydroxy-anthraquinone (IC50 4 microM). Anthraquinone derivatives with less polar substitution in positions 1 to 4 and 5 to 8 are less effective as inhibitors of PKC. Wheat germ Ca(2+)-dependent protein kinase (CDPK) assayed with a myosin light chain-based peptide substrate is much less sensitive to inhibition by anthraquinones, the most effective anthraquinone inhibitors being the 1,2,4-trihydroxy (IC50 14 microM), 1,8-dihydroxy-3-methyl (IC50 56 microM) and 1,2,5,8-tetrahydroxy (IC50 65 microM) derivatives. Ca(2+)-calmodulin-dependent myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) is inhibited by a range of di-, tri- and tetrahydroxylated anthraquinones (IC50 values 2 to 53 microM), the most potent inhibitors being the more polar compounds, namely mitoxantrone (IC50 2 microM) and emodin (1,3,8-trihydroxy-6-methylanthraquinone) (IC50 8 microM). Mitoxantrone interacts with calmodulin as determined from abolition of Ca(2+)-dependent fluorescence enhancement of dansyl-calmodulin (IC50 4 microM). A range of anthraquinone derivatives inhibits the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (cAK). In a number of cases compounds acting as potent inhibitors of MLCK (such as mitoxantrone and emodin) are very poor inhibitors of cAK and vice versa.

The toxicity of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzo(a)pyrene, 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene, and 3-methylcholanthrene has been associated with alterations in the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells and the development of lesions of mesenchymal origin. Because phosphorylation of endogenous substrates plays a central role in the regulation of smooth muscle cell growth, the present studies were conducted to evaluate the phosphorylation pattern of medial aortic protein upon repeated in vivo exposure of Japanese quail to benzo(a)pyrene (BaP). Medial aortic homogenates from quail treated for 10 weeks with 10 mg/kg benzo(a)pyrene or vehicle were processed for in vitro measurements of protein phosphorylation. In vitro phosphorylation of endogenous or exogenous proteins stimulated in vitro by phorbol myristate acetate/phosphatidylserine or cyclic AMP, known activators of protein kinase C and cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, respectively, was examined in the cytosolic and particulate fractions of homogenates from control and treated animals. Benzo(a)pyrene treatment significantly enhanced the basal phosphorylation of M(r) 113, 35, and 23 kDa proteins in the cytosolic fraction. Modest increases in the phosphorylation of M(r) 71, 52, and 38 kDa were also observed under basal conditions. No changes in the basal phosphorylation of particulate proteins were observed. Phosphorylation of endogenous protein substrates by protein kinase C in the cytosolic fraction was not altered by benzo(a)pyrene treatment. In contrast, inhibition of C-kinase-mediated phosphorylation of endogenous M(r) 272, 72, and 45 kDa proteins was observed in the particulate fraction of aortic homogenates from benzo(a)pyrene-treated quail relative to controls. Exogenous histone phosphorylation by PKC in the particulate, but not cytosolic fraction, was decreased by benzo(a)pyrene treatment.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Cryptoporic acids D and E, isolated from the fungus Cryptoporus volvatus, are inhibitors of superoxide anion radical release. Cryptoporic acid E inhibited tumor promotion of okadaic acid in two-stage carcinogenesis experiments on mouse skin, initiated with 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene. Treatment with cryptoporic acid E using two different doses per application, 1 (1.2 mumol) and 5 mg (5.9 mumol), reduced the percentage of tumor-bearing mice from 73.3 to 53.3% and 20.0%, and the average number of tumors per mouse from 4.2 to 2.3 and 0.5 respectively in week 20 of tumor promotion. However, cryptoporic acid D slightly enhanced tumor promotion rather than inhibition of okadaic acid. Cryptoporic acid D was expected to have additional biochemical activities, such as activation of protein kinases. Cryptoporic acid D at concentrations of up to 100 microM activated protein kinase C and stimulated other protein kinase activity in vitro, whereas cryptoporic acid E did not. These two compounds provided differential effects on tumor promotion of okadaic acid on mouse skin.

In two-stage mouse skin carcinogenesis initiated by 7,12-dimethylbenz[alpha]anthracene (DMBA), cepharanthine inhibited the tumor promoting activity of 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate (TPA). Since Ca2(+)-phospholipid-dependent protein kinase (PKC) was shown to be an intracellular target of TPA, effects of cepharanthine on the activity of this enzyme were investigated Cepharanthine also inhibited the phosphorylation of H1 histone by PKC in a concentration dependent manner. While cepharanthine inhibited the association of H1 histone with phospholipid vesicles, autophosphorylation of PKC was not inhibited by this drug. Cepharanthine also inhibited TPA-stimulated phosphorylation of some cytoplasmic proteins of mouse skin epidermis. These results indicated the possibility that anti-tumor promoting action of cepharanthine was the result of inhibition of PKC dependent cytoplasmic protein phosphorylation through the reduction of the interaction of these proteins with the plasma membrane.

A Mr 74,000 phosphoglycoprotein (gp74) present on the surface of oncogene-transformed murine cells but not untransformed NIH 3T3 cells was previously identified with mouse monoclonal antibody 45-2D9. The original cell population used as the immunogen was found to consist of two cell populations. The purpose of this study was to characterize these cell populations; determine the distribution of gp74 on normal, transformed, and neoplastic cells; and to characterize the gp74 molecule. Southern hybridization studies of cloned cell populations demonstrated that the immunizing cell population consisted of c-Ha-ras-transfected NIH 3T3 cells and Kirsten sarcoma virus-transformed rat cells (TRF cells). TRF cells showed a high level of gp74 expression. We observed that the expression of gp74 was increased on chemically and spontaneously transformed rat cells compared to untransformed rat cells. No binding of monoclonal antibody 45-2D9 was detected to rat adult and fetal tissue. Immunoperoxidase staining, immunofluorescence flow cytometry, and immunoprecipitation analysis of dimethylbenz[a]anthracene-induced metastatic 13762NF rat mammary adenocarcinoma clonal sublines demonstrated an inverse relationship between gp74 expression and metastatic phenotype. gp74 was immunoprecipitated from two low and medium metastatic clonal sublines (MTC and MTF7), but not from highly metastatic clone MTLn3 cells. Biosynthetic labeling and immunoprecipitation studies demonstrated that gp74 was phosphorylated on serine residues and was not secreted from transformed cells. No detectable protein kinase activity in an immune complex assay was associated with this molecule. We conclude that increased gp74 expression by rat cells is associated with transformed and neoplastic cells.
