3H-Dibutyryl cAMP (DBcAMP) when exposed to HeLa cultures proved rather resistant toextracellulardegradation. It was taken up by the cells and led to an accumulation of monobutyryl cAMP (MBcAMP), which — in contrast to DBcAMP — showed a high affinity to Gilman's (1) cAMP-binding protein. cAMP and DBcAMP were not accumulated in the cells to a comparable degree under these conditions.Other than DBcAMP, cAMP was rapidly degraded extracellulary to various metabolites including adenosine which was taken up by the cells and converted to purine nucleotides. Only at high extracellular concentrations cAMP could permeate the cells and lead to a transient rise in intracellular cAMP levels. These levels, however, never reached the steadily increasing concentrations of protein kinase-binding substances (MBcAMP + cAMP) when similar concentrations of DBcAMP were added to cultures.These results indicate that the sustained hormone-like actions of DBcAMP come about mainly by a high resistance to extracellular and intracellular phosphodiesterase as well as by the enzymic conversion to MBcAMP accumulating in the cells.
