| Abstract | To investigate the relationship between adrenal cell function and gap junction expression, a bovine adrenal cell line (SBAC) was studied. Western blot and immunocytochemical techniques were used to demonstrate gap junction expression in SBAC cell populations. Cells expressedα 1 (connexin 43) gap junction protein at points of cell-to-cell contact. Gap junction number and size increased in populations treated with ACTH (40 mU/ml) or dibutyryl cAMP (DbcAMP, 1.0 mm). Treatment with either ACTH or DbcAMP increased steroid production and cAMP levels. SBAC cell number, however, decreased in ACTH- or DbcAMP-treated populations. The number of cells increased in cultures transfected with α1-antisense complementary DNA. Neither ACTH nor DbcAMP treatment decreased cell number or increased steroidogenesis in α1-antisense complementary DNA-transfected cell populations. However, cell populations in which gap junctions were inhibited retained the capacity to increase cAMP production in response to ACTH (40 mU/ml) treatme... |
