title: ATP uptake by mouse lymphoma cells.
abstract: Mouse lymphoma cells were shown to be unresponsive to prostaglandin E1 in terms of cAMP production. The endogenous ATP concentration was shown to be low. Addition of ATP in the presence of IMBX into the incubation medium resulted in elevation of the intracellular pool of ATP and the cells responded to PGE1 by increasing cAMP production. The ATP effect is specific and cannot be substituted by GTP. ATP analogue (AMP-PCP) can, however, produce a similar effect to ATP. The intracellular ATP concentration can be lowered by incubation with iodoacetate and potassium cyanide. This caused a drastic decrease of the cAMP level. Ethionine on the other hand had no effect on the intracellular ATP level.
