Neurotransmitter regulation of adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate in clonal nerve, glia, and muscle cell lines.
Norepinephrine increases the intracellular level of adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cyclic AMP) in clonal cell lines of nerve, glia, smooth muscel, and skeletal muscle. The largest response is in skeletal muscle, where the cyclic nucleotide concentration is elevated more than 500-fold. Glia and muscle cells, but not nerve cells, respond to dopamine with increased cyclic AMP accumulation. This response appears to be mediated through a beta-adrenoreceptor.
