title: Cyclic AMP calcium and the growth of mastocytoma cells.
abstract: Arresting P815 mastocytoma cell growth with N6, O2'-dibutyryladenosine 3':5' cyclic monophosphate (db cAMP) and theophylline increased 45Ca2+ uptake and efflux by the cells (i.e, Ca2+ cycling) without altering cytoplasmic free Ca2+ concentrations or the amount or distribution of protein kinase C in the cells. Attempts to identify the Ca2+ channels involved using a wide variety of drugs were unsuccessful. However, the inhibitory effect of db cAMP on growth was greatly increase in medium containing low Ca2+ concentrations, confirming that interactions between Ca2+ and cyclic AMP can affect mastocytoma cell growth.
