Thymic lymphoblasts possess beta-adrenergic, dopaminergic and nicotinic receptors. When activated by high concentrations of adrenaline, isoprenaline, dopamine and acetylcholine, magnesium-dependent events are initiated, which culminate in mitosis. These events can be blocked by testosterone. The cells also possess muscarinic and alpha-adrenergic receptors which respond to low concentrations of acetylcholine, carbamylcholine and noradrenaline. In these cases calcium-dependent, oestradiol-blockable mechanisms are triggered which eventually lead to cell division.
胸腺淋巴母细胞拥有β-肾上腺素能、多巴胺能和烟碱样受体。当被高浓度的肾上腺素、异丙肾上腺素、多巴胺和乙酰胆碱激活时,会启动依赖镁的事件,最终导致有丝分裂。这些事件可被睾酮阻断。这些细胞还拥有毒蕈碱样和α-肾上腺素能受体,它们对低浓度的乙酰胆碱、氨甲酰胆碱和去甲肾上腺素作出反应。在这些情况下,会触发依赖钙的、可被雌二醇阻断的机制,最终导致细胞分裂。
