    Abstract:
    The effects of dibutyryl cyclic AMP (DBcAMP) and related compounds on collagen synthesis in a clonal osteoblast-like cell line, MC3T3-E1, were investigated. The addition of DBcAMP to cultures increased the hydroxyproline content of the cells. It also enhanced the incorporation of labeled proline into collagen and elevated the activity of prolyl hydroxylase, an enzyme involved in collagen synthesis. These effects were observed at concentrations of 0.1 to 2 mM DBcAMP. 8-Bromo cyclic AMP also increased the hydroxyproline content of the cells, while sodium butyrate and dibutyryl cyclic GMP had no such effect. These results suggest that the intracellular accumulation of cyclic AMP in osteoblasts leads to their active production of collagen, a major component of the organic matrix of bone.
