INFLUENCE OF DIVALENT CATIONS ON REGULATION OF CYCLIC GMP AND CYCLIC AMP LEVELS IN BRAIN TISSUE

—Depolarizing concentrations of K+ elevate levels of both adenosine 3′,5′monophosphate (cyclic AMP) and guanosine 3′,5′monophosphate (cyclic GMP) in incubated slices of mouse cerebellum. Calcium is an essential requirement for the K+ ‐induced accumulation of cyclic GMP. Barium and Sr2+, but not Mn2+ or Co2+, can substitute for Ca2+ in this process. Relatively high concentrations of Mg2+ inhibit the effect of Ca2+ on K+‐induced accumulation of cyclic GMP. In contrast, depolarizing concentrations of K+ are capable of elevating cyclic AMP levels in brain slices suspended in media containing Mg2+ and no other divalent cations. High concentrations of Ca2+ (1 mm or greater) augment this Mg2+ ‐dependent, K+‐induced accumulation of cyclic AMP, however. Strontium and Mn2+, but not Ba2+ or Co2+, can substitute for Ca2+ in this process, and high concentrations of Mg2+ are not inhibitory. The divalent cation ionophore, A‐23187 (10 μm), in the presence of extracellular Ca2+ elevates the level of cyclic GMP, but not cyclic AMP, in incubated mouse cerebellum slices.
