Exposure of lactogen-dependent Nb2 lymphoma cells to prolactin for up to 72 hr caused time- and dose-dependent changes in the ability of specific 38 kDa and 41.5 kDa membrane proteins from these cells to be subsequently ADP-ribosylated by pertussis and cholera toxins, respectively. Whereas the sensitivity of the 41.5 kDa substrate to cholera toxin was already reduced after 1 hour, that of the 38 kDa substrate for cholera toxin was increased for up to 72 hours. These findings suggest that membrane G-proteins may mediate the effects of prolactin binding to its receptor, leading to the proliferation of Nb2 lymphoma cells.
将依赖催乳素的Nb2淋巴瘤细胞暴露于催乳素长达72小时,会导致这些细胞中特定的38 kDa和41.5 kDa膜蛋白随后分别被百日咳毒素和霍乱毒素进行ADP核糖基化的能力发生时间和剂量依赖性变化。41.5 kDa底物对霍乱毒素的敏感性在1小时后就已降低,而38 kDa底物对霍乱毒素的敏感性则在长达72小时内增加。这些发现表明,膜G蛋白可能介导催乳素与其受体结合的效应,从而导致Nb2淋巴瘤细胞的增殖。
