Exchange protein directly activated by cAMP 1 promotes autophagy during cardiomyocyte hypertrophy.
AIMS Stimulation of β-adrenergic receptors (β-AR) increases cAMP production and contributes to the pathogenesis of cardiac hypertrophy and failure through poorly understood mechanisms. We previously demonstrated that Exchange protein directly activated by cAMP 1 (Epac1)-induced hypertrophy in primary cardiomyocytes. Among the mechanisms triggered by cardiac stress, autophagy has been highlighte...
متن کاملExchange protein directly activated by cAMP plays a critical role in bacterial invasion during fatal rickettsioses.
Rickettsiae are responsible for some of the most devastating human infections. A high infectivity and severe illness after inhalation make some rickettsiae bioterrorism threats. We report that deletion of the exchange protein directly activated by cAMP (Epac) gene, Epac1, in mice protects them from an ordinarily lethal dose of rickettsiae. Inhibition of Epac1 suppresses bacterial adhesion and i...
متن کاملMicrotubule-associated proteins (MAPs) regulate cAMP signalling through exchange protein directly activated by cAMP (EPAC).
cAMP is an essential signalling molecule whose concentration in cells is regulated by a wide range of hormones. A large number of diseases, including cancer and asthma, are linked to improper regulation of the cAMP signalling system, and manipulation of cAMP levels by pharmaceutical agents has proven therapeutic benefit. The action of cAMP in cells is mediated through the signalling enzymes PKA...
متن کاملIsoform-specific antagonists of exchange proteins directly activated by cAMP.
The major physiological effects of cAMP in mammalian cells are transduced by two ubiquitously expressed intracellular cAMP receptors, protein kinase A (PKA) and exchange protein directly activated by cAMP (EPAC), as well as cyclic nucleotide-gated ion channels in certain tissues. Although a large number of PKA inhibitors are available, there are no reported EPAC-specific antagonists, despite ex...
متن کاملExchange Protein Directly Activated by cAMP (EPAC) Regulates Neuronal Polarization through Rap1B.
UNLABELLED Acquisition of neuronal polarity is a complex process involving cellular and molecular events. The second messenger cAMP is involved in axonal specification through activation of protein kinase A. However, an alternative cAMP-dependent mechanism involves the exchange protein directly activated by cAMP (EPAC), which also responds to physiological changes in cAMP concentration, promoti...
