Epac activation induces histone deacetylase nuclear export via a Ras-dependent signalling pathway.
Epac (Exchange protein directly activated by cAMP) is a sensor for cAMP and represents a novel mechanism for governing cAMP signalling. Epac is a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) for the Ras family of small GTPases, Rap. Previous studies demonstrated that, in response to a prolonged beta-adrenergic stimulation Epac induced cardiac myocyte hypertrophy. The aim of our study was to further...
متن کاملExchange protein directly activated by cyclic AMP increases melanoma cell migration by a Ca2+-dependent mechanism.
Melanoma has a poor prognosis due to its strong metastatic ability. Although Ca(2+) plays a major role in cell migration, little is known about the role of Ca(2+) in melanoma cell migration. We recently found that the exchange protein directly activated by cyclic AMP (Epac) increases melanoma cell migration via a heparan sulfate-related mechanism. In addition to this mechanism, we also found th...
متن کاملThe cAMP binding protein Epac regulates cardiac myofilament function.
In the heart, cAMP is a key regulator of excitation-contraction coupling and its biological effects are mainly associated with the activity of protein kinase A (PKA). The aim of this study was to investigate the contribution of the cAMP-binding protein Epac (Exchange protein directly activated by cAMP) in the regulation of the contractile properties of rat ventricular cardiac myocytes. We repor...
متن کاملEpac Mediates -Adrenergic Receptor–Induced Cardiomyocyte Hypertrophy
Cardiac hypertrophy is promoted by adrenergic overactivation and can progress to heart failure, a leading cause of mortality worldwide. Although cAMP is among the most well-known signaling molecules produced by -adrenergic receptor stimulation, its mechanism of action in cardiac hypertrophy is not fully understood. The identification of Epac (exchange protein directly activated by cAMP) protein...
متن کاملEpac is required for GLP-1R-mediated inhibition of oxidative stress and apoptosis in cardiomyocytes.
Although the cardioprotective effects of glucagon-like peptide-1 and its analogs have been reported, the exact mechanisms of the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) signaling pathway in the heart are still unclear. Activation of the GLP-1R has been shown to increase cAMP levels, thus eliciting protein kinase A- and exchange protein activated by cAMP (Epac)-dependent signaling pathways in ...
