Percent inhibition of forskolin-induced cAMP accumulation in BALB-D2S cells not treated or treated with a low PTX concentrationa
| Cell type | % Inhibition
|
|
|---|---|---|
| −PTX | +PTX | |
| BALB-D2S | 84.3 ± 6.8 | 38.6 ± 4.2* |
| BDo-14 | 73.8 ± 12.2 | 27.8 ± 13.4* |
| BDi2-22 | 79.2 ± 2.1 | 63.5 ± 7.1 (NS) |
| BDi3-3 | 66.3 ± 5.7 | 56.5 ± 5.8 (NS) |
Cells were incubated for 20 min with no drugs, forskolin (10 μM), apomorphine (1 μM), or both apomorphine and forskolin, with or without PTX pretreatment (10 ng/ml, 4 to 6 h). Percent inhibition of apomorphine action was calculated as described in Materials and Methods. The data are expressed as mean ± SEM of four independent experiments (n = 4) and were analyzed by repeated-measures analysis of variance with Bonferroni multiple comparison posttest (*, P < 0.05; (NS), not significant; PTX treatment compared to no PTX treatment). In all clones, basal and forskolin-induced cAMP levels were not significantly different from levels in nontransfected BALB-D2S cells. BALB-D2S cells, parent cell line; BDo-14, BALB-D2S cells expressing Go-PTX; BDi2-22, cells expressing Gi2-PTX; BDi3-3, cells expressing Gi3-PTX.
