Synergistic induction of ornithine decarboxylase by diacylglycerol, A23187, and cholera toxin in guinea pig lymphocytes.
When guinea pig lymphocytes were cultured with 1-oleoyl-2-acetyl-glycerol (OAG), A23187, and cholera toxin, ornithine decarboxylase activity was induced synergistically, peaking at 6 h. Addition of 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol 13-acetate (TPA), A23187, and dibutyryl cAMP caused the same kind of induction. Cholera toxin potentiated the ability of A23187 to induce ornithine decarboxylase, but not that of OAG. Dibutyryl cAMP augmented the induction caused by A23187 but not by TPA. These results suggest that both the activation of Ca++-sensitive, phospholipid-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase C) and the increase in intracellular levels of Ca++ and cAMP are necessary for this induction. cAMP may potentiate the induction by modulating a Ca++ messenger system other than that for protein kinase C activation.
