Research Abstract |
C_6 gliom cells were cultured in the medium containing desipramine(DMI) or haloperidol(HAL) for 4 days. Not only DMI but also HAL, in a dose of 10 muM, reduced the accumulation of cyclic AMP (cAMP) in the cells stimulated by isoproterenol. 10 muM DMI reduced both total cell protein and ATP level in the cells. Intracellular level of DMI was approximately 50-fold more concentrated than the extracellular level. It is likely that 10 muM of DMI in the medium induce toxic effect on C_6 cells due to the accumulation into the cells. Therefore, to investigate the mechanism of action of DMI using C_6 cells, its concentration in the medium should be less than 1 muM. Chronic exposure of C_6 cells to 0.1-1 muM DMI, in which doses neither total cell protein nor ATP level in the cells was affected, did not decrease cAMP accumulation.
