Abstract
A study is presented of the effect of the cAMP cascade on oxygen metabolism in mammalian cell cultures. Serum-starvation of the cell cultures resulted in depression of the forward NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase activity of complex I, decreased content of glutathione, and enhancement of the cellular level of H2O2. Depressed transcription of cytosolic Cu/Zn-SOD 1, mitochondrial glutathione peroxidase and catalase was also observed. Activation of the cAMP cascade reversed the depression of the activity of complex I and the accumulation of H2O2. The effect of cAMP involved the cAMP-dependent protein kinase.Entities:
