The effect of dbcAMP on the lysolecithin induced hemolysis of calf and adult cattle erythrocytes.
The calf erythrocytes have an increased sensitivity against lysolecithin as compared to their adult counterparts. 10(-3)M dbcAMP increases the hemolysis induced by 5 microgram of lysolecithin in 0.15 M NaCl containing 10 mM phosphate buffer (pH 7.4). By increasing the level of phosphate buffer (75 mM) in the incubation mixture, 10(-3)M dbcAMP decreases the hemolysis induced by 5 microgram of lysolecithin. These data suggest a dual effect exerted by dcbAMP: the relatively labilizing or stabilizing effect prevails as a function of exogenous inorganic phosphate level. 10(-6)M dcbAMP also has a relative protective effect against lysolecithin. The combined addition of cAMP (10(-3)) and theophyllin (10(-4)M) does not stabilize the membrane. By increasing the level of lysolecithin to 20 microgram/ml the stabilizing effect of dcbAMP disappears. DbcAMP (10(-3)) as well as cAMP (10(-3)M) and theophyllin (10(-4)M) have a minimum increasing effect on hemolysis in the absence of lysolecithin, too.
