Modulation of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) signalling and its therapeutic potential: pharmacological characterisation of PDE inhibitors
The alteration of intracellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) levels plays important regulatory roles in both physiological and pathological conditions, such as cancer. As the most aggressive form of brain tumour, glioblastoma is currently incurable due to limited treatment modalities. Low …

The MA-10 Cell Line as a Model of insl3 Regulation and Leydig Cell Function
… in response to luteinizing hormone (LH) via the cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)/protein kinase A pathway. Additionally, these cells are responsible for producing insulin-like peptide 3 (INSL3), a peptide hormone that is essential for testicular descent. The <em>insl3</em> promoter in Leydig …

Evaluating luteinizing hormone receptor signaling using the cyclic AMP reporter ICUE3
… activation of G proteins. Evaluating the cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) level in response to binding of ligand to LH receptors depends on activation of adenylyl cyclase by G proteins and production of cAMP. In this project, fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) methods were …

Post-translational modifications regulate β2-Adrenoceptor signaling in cardiac myocytes
… activation of the classic Gs-adenylate cyclase-cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-protein kinase A (PKA) signaling pathway. In the mammalian heart, increasing cAMP-PKA activity leads to phosphorylation of an array of proteins involved in increasing heart contractility and rate. β2AR also has …

Mechanisms Mediating Adaptive Presynaptic Muting Induction
… of cultured neurons from the mammalian hippocampus, a well-studied brain region known to be important for learning and memory but susceptible to excitotoxic damage. Calcium serves as a signal transducer during excitotoxicity and many forms of synaptic plasticity, but the signaling cascades in …

Understanding HNF-1β through Identification of Interacting Proteins and Target Genes in the Kidney
… that control the intracellular concentration of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) by catalyzing its hydrolysis. cAMP may play a role in cystogenesis by stimulating fluid secretion and cell proliferation. PDE4C is transcriptionally activated by HNF-1Beta and regulates cAMP levels in mIMCD3 …

Exploring INSL5 and RXFP4 in the gut-brain axis and their potential role in feeding behaviour
… with feeding. By combining Rxfp4-Cre mice with a cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) imaging technique, INSL5 was found to reduce intracellular cAMP levels in Rxfp4-expressing cells in the colon, DRG, NG and the ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH), a known feeding centre in the brain. Transcriptomic …

Regulation of cAMP Signalling to Phospholemman by Phosphodiesterases
The ubiquitous second messenger molecule, cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), regulates a multitude of cellular functions, with Protein Kinase (PK)A being the major effector of its actions. There is increasing evidence to suggest that phosphodiesterases (PDEs), a class of enzymes that …

Synovial Fibrosis in Osteoarthritis of the Knee: Mechanism of Development and Potential Therapeutic Targets
… and study the impact of increasing intracellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) in OA fibroblast-like synoviocytes (OA-FLS) on regulating TGF-β linked expression of fibrotic genes and the contribution of PRG4 and HA to this effect. Also, we studied the significance of PRG4-CD44 interaction …

Directed Cell Migration: From Single Cells to Collectively Moving Cell Groups
… concentration gradient of the signaling molecule cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). The collective migration model shows that the pattern of migration can be quantitatively described by considering the competition of two processes, the secretion of cAMP by the cells and the degradation of cAMP …

An in-vitro model suggesting the role of cyclic Adenosine Monophosphate (cAMP) and phosphodiesterase 3B (PDE 3B) has been implicated in the relationship between calcium and lipolysis (Xue et al., 2001). The objective of the series of studies presented in this thesis was to investigate the …
