In many mammalian cells, cyclic adenosine 3', 5'-monophosphate (cAMP) and calcium (Ca
2+) served interrelated second messenger functions in the control of cellular function and growth. We have investigated; (i) the effects of cAMP and Ca
2+ on the control of histamine release from mast cells stimulated by active oligomers, of which releases are dependent on extracellular Ca
2+ or not. (ii) the fluctuations of cAMP levels, PGE
1-binding, and several cellular functions because of the cells respond to Bt
2cAMP, and PGE
1 with decreased growth rate and increased expression of more mature, differentiated mast cell phenotypes, and also because PGE
1 specifically binds to the cells and elevates cAMP levels. (iii) the cell cycle-dependent changes of cAMP and Ca
2+ levels, and certain cellular functions in synchronous mastocytoma P-815 cells.
