Abstract

The responsiveness of a growth-regulated rat 3Y1 cell line and five clones of 3Y1 cells transformed by the highly oncogenic human adenovirus type 12 to the catecholamine hormone (-)-isoproterenol was studied. The untransformed cells contained beta-adrenergic receptors characterized by specific binding of the beta-adrenergic receptor antagonist (-)-[3H]dihydroalprenolol, a 9- to 12-fold increase in cyclic AMP production in intact cells after incubation with 10 microM (-)-isoproterenol, and significantly increased adenylate cyclase (ATP pyrophosphatelyase [cyclizing], EC 4.6.1.1) activity in the presence of the hormone. In contrast, (-)-isoproterenol (10 to 100 microM) had no apparent effect on cyclic AMP production or the basal adenylate cyclase activity in the transformed cell lines. Binding studies revealed that untransformed cells contained approximately 19,400 beta-adrenergic receptor sites per cell. Three transformed cell clones tested showed a three- to fourfold loss of beta-adrenergic receptors.
