摘      要：The very different effects of Cholera Toxin (CT) on cell growth and proliferation may depend on the type of ganglio-side receptors in cell membranes and different signal transduction mechanisms triggered,but other functions relatedto the drug resistance mechanisms can not be *** effect of CT treatment on the in vitro clonogenicity,thePopulation Doubling Time (PDT),apoptosis,PKA activation and Bax and Bcl-2 expression was evaluated in WEHI-3Bcell line and its CT-resistant subclone (WEHI-3B/CTRES).In WEHI-3B parental cells the dramatic accumulation ofcAMP induced by CT correlated well with PKA activation,increased PDT value,inhibition of clonogenicity and apop-tosis.H-89 treatment inhibited PKA activation by CT but did not protect the cells from apoptosis and growth *** WEHI-3B/CTRES no significant CT-dependent accumulation of cAMP occurred with any increase of PKA activityand *** CT resistant cells (WEHI-3B/CTRES),Bcl-2 expression was down regulated by both CT or drug treatment(eg.,ciprofloxacin,CPX) although these cells were protected from CT-dependent apoptosis but not from *** from other cell models described,down regulation of Bcl-2 is proved to be independent on cAMPaccumulation and PKA *** observations support the implication of cAMP dependent kinase (PKA) in theinhibition of WEHI-3B cells growth and suggest that,in WEHI-3B/CTRES,Bcl-2 expression could be modulated byCT in the absence of cAMP *** in consideration of many contradictory data reported in literature,ourcell models(of one sensitive parental cell strain and two clones with different uncrossed specific resistance to CT andCPX)provides a new and interesting tool for better investigating the relationship between the CT signal transductionmechanisms and Bcl-2 expression and function.
