Protein kinase A isozyme switching: eliciting differential cAMP signaling and tumor reversion.

The cAMP-dependent protein kinase types I (PKA-I) and II (PKA-II), composed of identical catalytic (C) subunits but distinct regulatory (R) subunits (RI versus RII), are expressed in a balance of cell growth and differentiation. Distortion of this balance may underlie tumorigenesis and tumor growth. Here, we used PC3M prostate carcinoma cells as a model to overexpress wild type and mutant R and C subunit genes and examined the effects of differential expression of these genes on tumor growth. Only the RIIbeta and mutant RIalpha-P (a functional mimic of RIIbeta) transfectants exhibited growth inhibition in vitro, reverted phenotype, and apoptosis, and inhibited in vivo tumor growth. DNA microarrays demonstrated that RIIbeta and RIalpha-P overexpression upregulated a cluster of differentiation genes, while downregulating transformation and proliferation signatures. Overexpression of RIalpha and Calpha, which upregulated PKA-I, elicited the expression signatures opposite that elicited by RIIbeta overexpression. Total colocalization of Calpha and RIIbeta seen by confocal microscopy in the RIIbeta cell nucleus supports the opposed genomic regulation demonstrated between Calpha and RIIbeta cells. Differential expression of PKA R subunits may therefore serve as a tumor-target-based gene therapy for PC3M prostate and other cancers.

Modeling and experimental validation of the signal transduction via the Escherichia coli sucrose phospho transferase system.

Bacterial signal processing was investigated concerning the sucrose phosphotransferase system (sucrose PTS) in the bacterium Escherichia coli as an example. The about 20 different phosphotransferase systems (PTSs) of the cell fulfill besides the transport of various carbohydrates, also the function of one signal processing system. Extra- and intracellular signals are converted within the PTS protein chain to important regulatory signals affecting, e.g. carbon metabolism and chemotaxis. A detailed dynamical model of the sucrose PTS was developed describing transport and signal processing function. It was formulated using a detailed description of complex formation and phosphate transfer between the chain proteins. Model parameters were taken from literature or were identified with own experiments. Simulation studies together with experimental hints showed that the dynamic behavior of phosphate transfer in the PTS runs within 1 s. Therefore a description of steady state characteristics is sufficient for describing the signaling properties of the sucrose PTS. A steady state characteristic field describes the degree of phosphorylation of the PTS protein EIIACrr as a function of the input variables extracellular sucrose concentration and intracellular phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP):pyruvate ratio. The model has been validated with different experiments performed in a CSTR using a sucrose positive E. coli W3110 derivative. A method for determining intracellular metabolite concentrations has been developed. A sample preparation technique using a boiling ethanol buffer solution was successfully applied. The PTS output signal degree of phosphorylation of EIIACrr was also measured. Steady state conditions with varying dilution rate and dissolved oxygen concentration and dynamical variations applying different stimuli to the culture were considered. Pulse, and stop feeding experiments with limiting sucrose concentrations were performed. Simulation and experimental results matched well. The same holds for the expanded sucrose PTS and glycolysis model.

Response of cyclic AMP by DMSO differentiated HL-60 cells exposed to electric interferential current after prestimulation.

The action of interferential current (IFC) upon intracellular content of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) after prestimulation with the chemotactic peptide N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP) has been investigated. Human promyelocytes (HL-60) differentiated to granulocytes by dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO) have been treated with different concentrations of fMLP. This enhances their cAMP content. The half maximal effective concentration (EC50) was about 4 nM. Exposure to IFC with modulation frequencies of 35 and 125 Hz (5 min, 250 microA/cm2) after prestimulation with various concentrations of fMLP had no enhancing effect at low or high concentrations of fMLP. In contrast, at medium concentrations in the range of about 100 pM fMLP, a significant enhancement of cAMP could be observed. This synergistic effect of fMLP and IFC has been examined in detail by varying the modulation frequency, current density, and exposure time. Enhancement of cAMP content could be observed at certain modulation frequencies and exposure times suggesting a window effect, whereas for the current density in the range measured (8.5 microA/cm2-2.5 mA/cm2) a constant enhancement could be observed. The synergistic effect of fMLP and IFC could only be observed in the treatment sequence of fMLP followed by IFC; an inverse sequence had no effect on the cAMP content. .
