Abstract
The levels of mRNA for cellular retinol binding protein (CRBP) were studied in primary rat Sertoli cell cultures treated with cAMP analogues and retinol. In the presence of cyclic AMP analogues a dose- and time-dependent reduction (70-90%) of the levels of mRNA for CRBP was observed. Retinol concentrations above 10 nM induced a dose- and time-dependent increase (2-3 fold) in mRNA levels for CRBP. Assuming that CRBP is important for vitamin A action, our data indicate that both cAMP and retinol itself modulate the sensitivity of the Sertoli cells for retinol.Entities:
