Exogenous cyclic 3',5'-adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) stimulates the effect of the antidiuretic hormone, vasopressin (VP), only in pharmacologic quantities and results have often been inconsistent. The present study examined the ability of a new analogue, 8-[p-Cl-phenylthio]cyclic 3',5'-adenosine monophosphate (C1-PheS-cAMP) to mimic the effect of VP, both biochemically (protein kinase activation) and functionally (hydrosomatic response of perfused collecting tubules) in mammalian kidney tissue. C1PheS-cAMP was found to be about 100 times as effective as cAMP both biochemically and functionally. The increased effectiveness of C1PheS-cAMP is probably is probably due to a greater permeability across the cell membrane and to the resistance of C1PheS-cAMP to enzymatic degradation, Cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase inhibition was observed with C1PheS-cAMP, but its contribution to overall effect was minor. C1PheS-cAMP was found to be more effective than exogenous vasopressin, an effect probably due primarily to its resistance to catabolism. The results provide further new evidence that cAMP and protein kinase are involved in the cellular action of vasopressin. C1PheS-cAMP proved to be a useful tool in the study of hormone action, especially in steps subsequent to cAMP generation.

Results of this study demonstrate that vasopressin activates protein kinase in intact renal medullary cells as detected by measurement of the (-cyclic AMP/+cyclic AMP) protein kinase activity ratios in freshly prepared tissue extracts (40,000 X g supernates) from bovine renal medullary slices. The activation of protein kinase was specific for vasopressin since parathyroid hormone, histamine, angiotensin II, or the inactive analog of vasopressin did not activate protein kinase. There was a direct correlation between the extent of protein kinase activation and the elevation in tissue levels of cyclic AMP elicited by increasing doses of vasopressin or with an increase in incubation time. The elevation of tissue cyclic AMP level and maximum activation of protein kinase reached maximum level at a vasopressin concentration of about 2 X 10(-9) M. Incubation of slices with vasopressin caused a dose-dependent decrease in the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase activity in the 40,000 X g supernate of homogenate from the renal medullary slices. This effect of vasopressin was specific for protein kinase since activity of lactate dehydrogenase or a specific [3H]colchicine-binding activity was not affected, and the decrease in the protein kinase was not due to the accumulation of a heat-stable protein kinase inhibitor. There was an increase in protein kinase was not due to the accumulation of a heat-stable protein kinase inhibitor. There was an increase in protein kinase activity extracted from 40,000 X g pellets of homogenate prepared from slices exposed to vasopressin. Results thus provide evidence that cyclic AMP-mediated protein kinase activation in the intact cells is an integral part of cellular response of the mammalian renal medulla to vasopressin.

A method has been developed for investigation of the effect of adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) on the state of activation of a cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase within cells of the adrenal cortex. Enzyme activity was measured in terms of the quantity of32P transferred from [γ-32P]ATP to histone under conditions in which bound cyclic AMP did not dissociate from the regulatory subunit of the protein kinase ACTH (1×10-2i.u./ml) caused a rapid and complete activation of the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase activity within 2min of hormone addition to the isolated cells. In response to a range of ACTH concentrations a sigmoid log dose–response curve for protein kinase activation was obtained, with half-maximal stimulation attained at about 1×10-3i.u./ml. However, some low doses of ACTH that elicited a marked (but submaximal) steroidogenic response failed to cause a clear stimulation of protein kinase activity in isolated adrenal cells. Theophylline (2mm) potentiated the effect of ACTH on protein kinase activity. The results implicate an important role for protein kinase in ACTH action on the adrenocortical cell.

The effect of different doses of luteinizing hormone on activation of protein kinases, cyclic AMP and testosterone production was studied in purified rat testis Leydig-cell preparations in the presence of 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (a phosphodiesterase inhibitor). In addition, the nature of the protein kinases present in these cells and other tissues was investigated. The following results were obtained. 1. With all the amounts of luteinizing hormone used (0.1-1000 ng/ml), both activation of protein kinase and stimulation of testosterone production were demonstrated. With the lowest amount of luteinizing hormone (0.1 ng/ml), an 8.4±0.9% (S.E.M.,n=6) stimulation of protein kinase activation occurred, increasing to 100% with 1000 ng/ml, compared with 3.2±1.0%(S.E.M.,n=7) and 100% stimulation of testosterone production with 0.1 and 100 ng/ml respectively. 2. With amounts of luteinizing hormone up to 1 ng/ml (which gave half-maximal stimulation of testosterone production) no detectable increases in net cyclic AMP production were obtained. With higher amounts of luteinizing hormone, cyclic AMP production increased, but maximal production was not reached with 1000 ng/ml. 3. Two isoenzymic forms of protein kinase were present in Leydig cells and seminiferous tubules; type I was eluted with 0.075 M-and type II with 0.22-0.25 M-NaCl from DEAE-cellulose columns. 4. The protein kinase activity was not affected by the presence of erythrocytes in the Leydig-cell preparation, but varied depending on the type of histone used as substrate (histone F2b > mixed > histone F1).
