In vivo growth of hormone-dependent rat mammary tumors was arrested by daily injections of L-arginine (L-arginine .cntdot. HCl 50 mg/200 g rat s.c.). Arginine + N6,O2''-dibutyryl cAMP (DBcAMP) acted synergistically to enhance the growth inhibitory effect. Growth arrest by arginine was accompanied by a sharp increase in cellular cAMP content, which was preceded by parallel increases in NAD-dependent ADP-ribosylation of the membrane proteins and NAD-dependent activation of adenylate cyclase. The ADP-ribosylation of the membrane proteins required GTP and was catalyzed similarly by the 105,000 g supernatant fraction of the tumor and by cholera toxin. A specific role for arginine in the cAMP-mediated inhibition of manmary tumors is suggested.
