PG - 375-87 AB - Ornithine decarboxylase activity (ODC) increased about 7 fold 6--8 h following 10mM asparagine (ASN) addition to confluent cultures that had been previously serum deprived and then placed in a salts/glucose medium. Optimal concentrations of dibutyryl cAMP (dB cAMP) when incubated with the ASN caused up to a 50 fold increase in the activity of this enzyme after 7--8 h. The enhancement of ODC activity by ASN and dB cAMP was not sensitive to continuous (0--7 h) treatment with actinomycin D but similar treatment with cycloheximide depressed enzyme activity 40--60%. The synergistic stimulation of ODC activity by dB cAMP added with ASN was dose dependent and the dB cAMP stimulation of ODC activity displayed an absolute requirement for ASN when cells were maintained in the salts/glucose medium. The addition of dB cAMP always further enhanced ODC activity above the levels produced by addition of various levels of ASN (1 to 40mM) to the salts/glucose medium. Other agents which elevated cAMP levels such as 1-methyl-3-isobutylxanthine (IBMX) also enhanced ODC activity when administered with ASN. Additionally, treatment with sodium butyrate at concentrations ranging from 0.001mM to 5.0mM did not elevate ODC activity above the activity obtained with ASN alone. Addition of dB cAMP at various times after placing cells in salts/glucose medium with ASN further stimulated ODC activity only when added during the first 3-4 h. These results demonstrate the involvement of cAMP in the ASN mediated stimulation of ODC activity using cells maintained in a salts/glucose medium.
