Effect of serum on ganglioside uptake and choleragen responsiveness of transformed mouse fibroblasts

PH Fishman, RM Bradley, J Moss and VC Manganiello

NCTC 2071 cells, transformed mouse fibroblasts, did not respond to choleragen when grown in chemically defined medium. When grown in medium containing 10 percent fetal calf serum, however, the cells accumulated cyclic AMP upon exposure to the toxin. Gangliosides isolated from the fetal calf serum were as effective as whole serum in inducing choleragen responsiveness in the cells. The putative choleragen receptor, the monosialo-ganglioside GM1, could not be detected by chemical analysis in cells exposed to serum. 3H-Labeled GM1 was detected in these cells, however, following sequential exposure to galactose oxidase and sodium borotritide. Thus, uptake of minute amounts of GM1 from serum by these cells sensitized them to choleragen.
