pubmed:abstractText |
cAMP has previously been shown to promote cell survival in a variety of cell types, but the downstream signaling pathway(s) of this antiapoptotic effect is unclear. Thus the role of cAMP signaling through PKA and cAMP-regulated guanine nucleotide exchange factors (cAMP-GEFs) in cAMP's antiapoptotic action was investigated in the present study. cAMP's protective effect against bile acid-, Fas ligand-, and TNF-alpha-induced apoptosis in rat hepatocytes was largely unaffected by the selective PKA inhibitor, Rp-8-(4-chlorophenylthio)-cAMP (Rp-cAMP). In contrast, a novel cAMP analog, 8-(4-chlorophenylthio)-2'-O-methyl (CPT-2-Me)-cAMP, which activated cAMP-GEFs in hepatocytes without activating PKA, protected hepatocytes against apoptosis induced by bile acids, Fas ligand, and TNF-alpha. The role of cAMP-GEF and PKA on activation of Akt, a kinase implicated in cAMP survival signaling, was investigated. Inhibition of PKA with RP-cAMP had no effect on cAMP-mediated Akt phosphorylation, whereas CPT-2-Me-cAMP, which did not activate PKA, induced phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-kinase)-dependent activation of Akt. Pretreatment of hepatocytes with the PI3-kinase inhibitor, Ly-294002, prevented CPT-2-Me-cAMP's protective effect against bile acid and Fas ligand, but not TNF-alpha-mediated apoptosis. Glucagon, CPT-cAMP, and CPT-2-Me-cAMP all activated Rap 1, a downstream effector of cAMP-GEF. These results suggest that a PKA-independent cAMP/cAMP-GEF/Rap pathway exists in hepatocytes and that activation of cAMP-GEFs promotes Akt phosphorylation and hepatocyte survival. Thus a cAMP/cAMP-GEF/Rap/PI3-kinase/Akt signaling pathway may confer protection against bile acid- and Fas-induced apoptosis in hepatocytes.
