title: The effect of cyclic AMP on the accumulation of newly synthesized protein in the extracellular matrix of PFHR-9 teratocarcinoma cells.
abstract: The effect of elevated cyclic AMP levels on the accumulation of newly synthesized extracellular matrix protein was examined in PFHR-9 cells producing Type IV collagen. The effect of dbcAMP, 8-BrcAMP, IBMX and forskolin on the synthesis of total protein, non-collagen protein and collagen were compared. DbcAMP increased the accumulation of total protein but did not affect the distribution of collagen and non-collagen protein. 8-BrcAMP, IBMX and forskolin also increased collagen and non-collagen accumulation. However, the effect on collagen was significantly greater with 8-BrcAMP and IBMX. Consequently, 8-BrcAMP and IBMX resulted in an increased percent collagen synthesis in the extracellular matrix. Elevated cAMP levels had no effect on cell proliferation or DNA synthesis but did produce a significant effect on cell morphology.
