title: cAMP-dependent induction of fatty acid cyclooxygenase mRNA in mouse osteoblastic cells (MC3T3-E1).
abstract: In an osteoblastic cell line, MC3T3-E1, cloned from mouse calvaria, epinephrine stimulated the production of prostaglandin E2 as an essentially sole arachidonate metabolite (Kusaka, M., Oshima, T., Yokota, K., Yamamoto, S., and Kumegawa, M. (1988) Biochim. Biophys. Acta. 972, 339-346). Western and Northern blot analyses showed increases in the enzyme protein and mRNA of fatty acid cyclooxygenase in the epinephrine-treated cells. A rapid cAMP production caused by epinephrine was followed by increases in the activity and mRNA of cyclooxygenase. Both dibutyryl cAMP and 8-bromo-cAMP also increased the level of the cyclooxygenase activity and mRNA. These results suggest that cAMP produced by beta-adrenergic stimulation was responsible for the increased cyclooxygenase mRNA level leading to induction of the cyclooxygenase enzyme. Furthermore, the addition of prostaglandin E2 (the final arachidonate metabolite in the MC3T3-E1 cells) brought about a rapid synthesis of intracellular cAMP followed by increases in the enzyme protein and mRNA of cyclooxygenase.
