Abstract
BACKGROUND & PURPOSE It has been proposed that genomic mechanisms contribute to the adverse-effects that are often experienced by asthmatic subjects who take regular, inhaled β2 -adrenoceptor agonists as a monotherapy. Moreover, data from preclinical models of asthma suggest that these gene expression changes are mediated by β-arrestin-2 rather than PKA. Herein, we tested this hypothesis by comparing the genomic effects of formoterol, a β2 -adrenoceptor agonist, with forskolin in human primary bronchial epithelial cells (HBEC). EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Gene expression changes were determined by RNA-sequencing. Gene silencing and genome editing were employed to explore the roles of β-arrestin-2 and PKA. KEY RESULTS The formoterol-regulated transcriptome in HBEC treated concurrently with TNFα, was defined by 1480 unique gene expression changes. TNFα-induced transcripts modulated by formoterol were annotated with enriched gene ontology terms related to inflammation and proliferation, notably "GO:0070374~positive regulation of ERK1 and ERK2 cascade", which is an established β-arrestin-2 target. However, expression of the formoterol- and forskolin-regulated transcriptomes were highly rank-order correlated and the effects of formoterol on TNFα-induced inflammatory genes were abolished by an inhibitor of PKA. Furthermore, formoterol-induced gene expression changes in BEAS-2B bronchial epithelial cell clones deficient in β-arrestin-2 were comparable to those expressed by their parental counterparts. Contrariwise, gene expression was partially inhibited in clones lacking the α-catalytic subunit (Cα) of PKA and abolished following the additional knockdown of the β-catalytic subunit (Cβ) paralogue. CONCLUSIONS The effects of formoterol on inflammatory gene expression in airway epithelia are mediated by PKA and involve the cooperation of PKA-Cα and PKA-Cβ.

Abstract
The cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) system represents a primary cell-signaling pathway throughout systems and across species. PKA facilitates the actions of hormones, neurotransmitters and other signaling molecules that bind G-protein coupled receptors (GPCR) to modulate cAMP levels. Through its control of synaptic events, exocytosis, transcriptional regulation, and more, PKA signaling regulates cellular metabolism and emotional and stress responses making it integral in the maintenance and dysregulation of energy homeostasis. Neural PKA signaling is regulated by afferent and peripheral efferent signals that link specific neural cell populations to the regulation of metabolic processes in adipose tissue, liver, pancreas, adrenal, skeletal muscle, and gut. Mouse models have provided invaluable information on the roles for PKA subunits in brain and key metabolic organs. While limited, human studies infer differential regulation of the PKA system in obese compared to lean individuals. Variants identified in PKA subunit genes cause Cushing syndrome that is characterized by metabolic dysregulation associated with endogenous glucocorticoid excess. Under healthy physiologic conditions, the PKA system is exquisitely regulated by stimuli that activate GPCRs to alter intracellular cAMP concentrations, and by PKA cellular localization and holoenzyme stability. Adenylate cyclase activity generates cAMP while phosphodiesterase-mediated cAMP degradation to AMP decreases cAMP levels downstream of GPCRs. Chronic perturbations in PKA signaling appear to be capable of resetting PKA regulation at several levels; in addition, sex differences in PKA signaling regulation, while not well understood, impact the physiologic consequences of metabolic dysregulation and obesity. This review explores the roles for PKA signaling in the pathogenesis of metabolic diseases including obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus and associated co-morbidities through neural-peripheral crosstalk and cAMP/PKA signaling pathway targets that hold therapeutic potential.

Abstract
Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is characterized by granulopoietic differentiation arrest at the promyelocytic stage. In most cases, this defect can be overcome by treatment with all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA), leading to complete clinical remission. Cyclic AMP signaling has a key role in retinoid treatment efficacy: it enhances ATRA-induced maturation in ATRA-sensitive APL cells (including NB4 cells) and restores it in some ATRA-resistant cells (including NB4-LR1 cells). We show that the two cell types express identical levels of the Cα catalytic subunit and comparable global cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA) enzyme activity. However, the maturation-resistant NB4-LR1 cells have a PKA isozyme switch: compared with the NB4 cells, they have decreased content of the juxtanuclearly located PKA regulatory subunit IIα and PKA regulatory subunit IIβ, and a compensatory increase of the generally cytoplasmically distributed PKA-RIα. Furthermore, the PKA regulatory subunit II exists mainly in the less cAMP-responsive nonautophosphorylated state in the NB4-LR1 cells. By the use of isozyme-specific cAMP analog pairs, we show that both PKA-I and PKA-II must be activated to achieve maturation in NB4-LR1 as well as NB4 cells. Therefore, special attention should be paid to activating not only PKA-I but also PKA-II in attempts to enhance ATRA-induced APL maturation in a clinical setting.

An entirely specific type I A-kinase anchoring protein that can sequester two molecules of protein kinase A at mitochondria. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2011; 108:E1227-35.

Abstract
A-kinase anchoring proteins (AKAPs) tether the cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) to intracellular sites where they preferentially phosphorylate target substrates. Most AKAPs exhibit nanomolar affinity for the regulatory (RII) subunit of the type II PKA holoenzyme, whereas dual-specificity anchoring proteins also bind the type I (RI) regulatory subunit of PKA with 10-100-fold lower affinity. A range of cellular, biochemical, biophysical, and genetic approaches comprehensively establish that sphingosine kinase interacting protein (SKIP) is a truly type I-specific AKAP. Mapping studies located anchoring sites between residues 925-949 and 1,140-1,175 of SKIP that bind RI with dissociation constants of 73 and 774 nM, respectively. Molecular modeling and site-directed mutagenesis approaches identify Phe 929 and Tyr 1,151 as RI-selective binding determinants in each anchoring site. SKIP complexes exist in different states of RI-occupancy as single-molecule pull-down photobleaching experiments show that 41 ± 10% of SKIP sequesters two YFP-RI dimers, whereas 59 ± 10% of the anchoring protein binds a single YFP-RI dimer. Imaging, proteomic analysis, and subcellular fractionation experiments reveal that SKIP is enriched at the inner mitochondrial membrane where it associates with a prominent PKA substrate, the coiled-coil helix protein ChChd3.

Abstract
There are two major genes encoding the catalytic subunits of protein kinase A, Calpha and Cbeta. The functional significance of these isoforms is enigmatic. Lymphoid cells of the immune system express both Calpha and Cbeta. In this study we tested the role of Calpha and Cbeta in regulating immune cell reactivity to antigens using mice carrying a targeted disruption of the Calpha and Cbeta gene respectively. Calpha and Cbeta ablation both resulted in a 50% reduction in PKA-specific kinase activity and the level of PKA type I but not PKA type II. Moreover, despite that C subunit ablation did not affect immune cell development and homeostasis, Calpha but not Cbeta ablation augmented expression of the activation marker CD69 on lymphocytes. CD69 induction coincided with immune cell hyperresponsiveness and was associated with reduced sensitivity to cAMP-mediated inhibition of anti-CD3 induced T cell proliferation. Our results imply that Calpha is required for normal immune cell reactivity and demonstrates isoform-specific effects and non-redundant functions of C subunit isoforms expressed in the same cell.

Abstract
The vacuolar H(+)-ATPase (V-ATPase) in the apical membrane of blowfly (Calliphora vicina) salivary gland cells energizes the secretion of a KCl-rich saliva in response to the neurohormone serotonin (5-HT). We have shown previously that exposure to 5-HT induces a cAMP-mediated reversible assembly of V(0) and V(1) subcomplexes to V-ATPase holoenzymes and increases V-ATPase-driven proton transport. Here, we analyze whether the effect of cAMP on V-ATPase is mediated by protein kinase A (PKA) or exchange protein directly activated by cAMP (Epac), the cAMP target proteins that are present within the salivary glands. Immunofluorescence microscopy shows that PKA activators, but not Epac activators, induce the translocation of V(1) components from the cytoplasm to the apical membrane, indicative of an assembly of V-ATPase holoenzymes. Measurements of transepithelial voltage changes and microfluorometric pH measurements at the luminal surface of cells in isolated glands demonstrate further that PKA-activating cAMP analogs increase cation transport to the gland lumen and induce a V-ATPase-dependent luminal acidification, whereas activators of Epac do not. Inhibitors of PKA block the 5-HT-induced V(1) translocation to the apical membrane and the increase in proton transport. We conclude that cAMP exerts its effects on V-ATPase via PKA.

Abstract
In the final stages of ovarian follicular development, the mouse oocyte remains arrested in the first meiotic prophase, and cAMP-stimulated PKA plays an essential role in this arrest. After the LH surge, a decrease in cAMP and PKA activity in the oocyte initiates an irreversible maturation process that culminates in a second arrest at metaphase II prior to fertilization. A-kinase anchoring proteins (AKAPs) mediate the intracellular localization of PKA and control the specificity and kinetics of substrate phosphorylation. Several AKAPs have been identified in oocytes including one at 140 kDa that we now identify as a product of the Akap1 gene. We show that PKA interaction with AKAPs is essential for two sequential steps in the maturation process: the initial maintenance of meiotic arrest and the subsequent irreversible progression to the polar body extruded stage. A peptide inhibitor (HT31) that disrupts AKAP/PKA interactions stimulates oocyte maturation in the continued presence of high cAMP. However, during the early minutes of maturation, type II PKA moves from cytoplasmic sites to the mitochondria, where it associates with AKAP1, and this is shown to be essential for maturation to continue irreversibly.

Abstract
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.

Abstract
The functional significance of the presence of two major (types I and II) isoforms of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) is still enigmatic. The present study showed that peptide substrate enhanced the activation of PKA type I at low, physiologically relevant concentrations of cAMP through competitive displacement of the regulatory RI subunit. The effect was similar whether the substrate was a short peptide or the physiological 60-kDa protein tyrosine hydroxylase. In contrast, substrate failed to affect the cAMP-sensitivity of PKA type II. Size exclusion chromatography confirmed that substrate acted to physically enhance the dissociation of the RIalpha and Calpha subunits of PKA type I, but not the RIIalpha and Calpha subunits of PKA type II. Substrate availability can therefore fine-tune the activation of PKA type I by cAMP, but not PKA type II. The cAMP-dissociated RII and C subunits of PKA type II reassociated much faster than the PKA type I subunits in the presence of substrate peptide. This suggests that only PKA type II is able to rapidly reverse its activation after a burst of cAMP when exposed to high substrate concentration. We propose this as a possible reason why PKA type II is preferentially found in complexes with substrates undergoing rapid phosphorylation cycles.

Abstract
Cyclic AMP (cAMP) and cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) are critical regulators of neuronal differentiation. The expression, levels and activities of PKA subunits were studied prior to and during differentiation of the human neuronal precursor cell line NTera 2 (NT2). Undifferentiated NT2 cells expressed mainly cytoplasmic PKA type I, consisting of the regulatory subunit RIalpha and the catalytic subunit Calpha. Low levels of PKA type II consisting of RIIalpha or RIIbeta associated with Calpha were also detected, mainly in the cytoplasm and in the Golgi-centrosomal area. During retinoic acid-induced differentiation, the RIalpha and RIIalpha expressions remained in the cytoplasm, while we observed a strong upregulation of RIIbeta, located to the whole cytoplasm including neurite extensions. This upregulation coincided with increased PKA-specific activity accompanied by a strong induction of a number of neuronal-specific Cbeta splice variants that together with RIIbeta form novel PKAII holoenzymes. Formation of novel PKAII holoenzymes may imply specific PKA features which may have consequences for the process of neuronal differentiation and nerve cell function.

Abstract
Cloning of the individual regulatory (R) and catalytic (C) subunits of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) and expression of these subunits in cell culture have provided mechanistic answers about the rules for PKA holoenzyme assembly. One of the central findings of these studies is the essential role of the RI alpha regulatory subunit in maintaining the catalytic subunit under cAMP control. The role of RI alpha as the key compensatory regulatory subunit in this enzyme family was confirmed by gene knockouts of the three other regulatory subunits in mice. In each case, RI alpha has demonstrated the capacity for significant compensatory regulation of PKA activity in tissues where the other regulatory subunits are expressed, including brain, brown and white adipose tissue, skeletal muscle, and sperm. The essential requirement of the RI alpha regulatory subunit in maintaining cAMP control of PKA activity was further corroborated by the knockout of RI alpha in mice, which results in early embryonic lethality due to failed cardiac morphogenesis. Closer examination of RI alpha knockout embryos at even earlier stages of development revealed profound deficits in the morphogenesis of the mesodermal embryonic germ layer, which gives rise to essential structures including the embryonic heart tube. Failure of the mesodermal germ layer in RI alpha knockout embryos can be rescued by crossing RI alpha knockout mice to C alpha knockout mice, supporting the conclusion that inappropriately regulated PKA catalytic subunit activity is responsible for the phenotype. Isolation of primary embryonic fibroblasts from RI alpha knockout embryos reveals profound alterations in the actin-based cytoskeleton, which may account for the failure in mesoderm morphogenesis at gastrulation.

Abstract
Mechanisms of cAMP signal transduction have been thoroughly investigated for more than 40 years. From the binding of hormonal ligands to their receptors on the outer surface of the plasma membrane to the cytoplasmic activation of effectors, the ensuing cAMP signaling cascades and the nuclear gene regulatory functions, coupled with the structural elucidation of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) and in vivo functional characterizations of each of the components of PKA by homologous recombination gene targeting, our understanding of cAMP-mediated signal transduction has reached its pinnacle. Despite this trove of knowledge, some recent findings have emerged that suggest hitherto novel and alternative mechanisms of cAMP action that could increase the signaling bandwidth of cAMP and PKA in cell growth and transcriptional regulation. This article attempts to review some of these novel and unconventional mechanisms of cAMP and PKA signaling, and to generate further enthusiasm in investigating and validating these new frontiers of the cAMP signal transduction pathway.

Abstract
Expression of the RIalpha subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase type I is increased in human cancers in which an autocrine pathway for epidermal growth factor-related growth factors is activated. We have investigated the effect of sequence-specific inhibition of RIalpha gene expression on ovarian cancer cell growth. We report that RIalpha antisense treatment results in a reduction in RIalpha expression and protein kinase A type I, and inhibition of cell growth. The growth inhibition was accompanied by changes in cell morphology and appearance of apoptotic nuclei. In addition, EGF receptor, c-erbB-2 and c-erbB-3 levels were reduced, and the basal and EGF-stimulated mitogen-activated protein kinase activities were reduced. Protein kinase A type I and EGF receptor levels were also reduced in cells overexpressing EGF receptor antisense cDNA. These results suggest that the antisense depletion of RIalpha leads to blockade of both the serine-threonine kinase and the tyrosine kinase signaling pathways resulting in arrest of ovarian cancer cell growth.

Abstract
cAMP mediates many of the effects of vasopressin, prostaglandin E2, and beta-adrenergic agents upon salt and water transport in the renal collecting duct. The present studies examined the role of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) in mediating these effects. PKA is a heterotetramer comprised of two regulatory (R) subunits and two catalytic (C) subunits. The four PKA isoforms may be distinguished by their R subunits that have been designated RIalpha, RIbeta, RIIalpha, and RIIbeta. Three regulatory subunits, RIalpha, RIIalpha, and RIIbeta, were detected by immunoblot and ribonuclease protection in both primary cultures and fresh isolates of rabbit cortical collecting ducts (CCDs). Monolayers of cultured CCDs grown on semipermeable supports were mounted in an Ussing chamber, and combinations of cAMP analogs that selectively activate PKA type I vs. PKA type II were tested for their effect on electrogenic ion transport. Short-circuit current (Isc) was significantly increased by the PKA type II-selective analog pairs N6-monobutyryl-cAMP plus 8-(4-chlorophenylthio)-cAMP or N6-monobutyryl-cAMP plus 8-chloro-cAMP. In contrast the PKA type I-selective cAMP analog pair [N6-monobutyryl-cAMP plus 8-(6-aminohexyl)-amino-cAMP] had no effect on Isc. These results suggest PKA type II is the major isozyme regulating electrogenic ion transport in the rabbit collecting duct.

Abstract
LH and FSH regulate via cyclic adenosine 3'5' cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) and cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA), steroid biosynthesis is Leydig and Sertoli cells, respectively. Cyclic AMP also regulates a number of different cellular processes such as cell growth and differentiation, ion channel conductivity, synaptic release of neurotransmitters, and gene transcription. The principle intracellular target for cAMP in mammalian cells is the PKA. The fact that this broad specificity protein kinase mediates a number of discrete physiological responses following cAMP engagement, has raised the question of how specificity is maintained in the cAMP/PKA system. Here we describe features of this signaling pathway that may contribute to explain how differential effects of cAMP may be contributed to features of the PKA signaling pathway.

Abstract
Very low protein diets result in a desensitization of hepatic cAMP signaling in rats, which is characterized by a loss of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) activity and type I regulatory subunit (RI). Here we have tested whether more moderate protein restriction (Trial 1) or energy restriction (Trial 2) also modulates hepatic PKA quantity and activity. In trial 1, weanling rats were allowed free access to diets containing normal protein (15%, AL-NP), moderately restricted protein (12.5%, AL-MP) and low protein (7.5%, AL-LP); in trial 2, rats were allowed free access to diet containing 15% (AL-NP) or 0.5% protein (very low protein, AL-VLP) or were energy restricted by pair-feeding a diet isonitrogenous to AL-NP but at 65% of the energy intake (ER-IN) for 14 d. Body weights were lower (P < 0.05) by d 14 in all restricted groups compared with the AL-NP group. The quantity of cytosolic RI was lower (P < 0.05) in AL-LP and AL-VLP, but not in AL-MP or ER-IN, compared with AL-NP. In contrast, there was no effect of diet on RI in the particulate fraction. RII was not changed by moderate and low protein diets in either the cytosol or particulate fraction. However, type II regulatory subunit (RII) was greater in the cytosol of ER-IN and in the particulate fraction of AL-VLP (P < 0.05) compared with AL-NP. Specific activity of PKA was lower in the cytosol and particulate fraction (P < 0.05) in the AL-VLP and ER-IN groups compared with the AL-NP group. In contrast, specific activity of PKA was maintained in cytosol from AL-LP, but lower in the particulate fraction (P < 0.05) compared with AL-NP. In summary, protein restricted-diets lower RI subunit in the cytosol; however, only in rats fed very low protein diets is this loss of RI associated with lower cytosolic PKA activity. In contrast, energy restriction lowers PKA activity in the cytosol and particulate fractions, independent of signficant reduction in RI or RII subunits. Taken together, these data indicate that moderate protein and energy restrictions have differential effects on activity and quantity of PKA.

Abstract
A large number of hormones, neurotransmitters, and other signaling substances that bind to G-protein-coupled cell-surface receptors have their signals converge at one sole second messenger, cAMP. The question of how specificity can be maintained in a signal-transduction system in which many extracellular signals leading to a vast array of intracellular responses are all mediated through one second-messenger system has been the subject of thorough investigation and a great deal of speculation. An increasing number of cAK isozymes, consisting of homo- or heterodimers of R subunits (RIalpha, RIbeta, RIIalpha, RIIbeta) with associated catalytic subunits (C alpha, Cbeta, Cgamma), may, at least in part, explain this specificity. The various cAK isozymes display distinct biochemical properties, and the heterogeneous subunits of cAK reveal cell-specific expression and differential regulation at the level of gene transcription, mRNA stability, and protein stability in response to a wide range of hormones and other signaling substances. The existence of a number of anchoring proteins specific to either RIIalpha or RIIbeta, and which localize cAKII isozymes toward distinct substrates at defined subcellular loci, strongly supports the idea that specific functions can be assigned to the various cAK isozymes. The demonstration that selective activation of cAKI is necessary and sufficient for cAMP-mediated inhibition of T-cell proliferation, and the observation that T-cell activation is associated with redistribution and colocalization of cAKI to the TCR, is also compatible with the notion of isozyme-specific effects.

Abstract
The cAMP-dependent protein kinase holoenzyme is assembled from regulatory (R) and catalytic (C) subunits that are expressed in tissue-specific patterns. Despite the dispersion of the R and C subunit genes to different chromosomal loci, mechanisms exist that coordinately regulate the intracellular levels of R and C protein such that cAMP-dependent regulation is preserved. We have created null mutations in the RIbeta and RIIbeta regulatory subunit genes in mice, and find that both result in an increase in the level of RIalpha protein in tissues that normally express the beta isoforms. Examination of RIalpha mRNA levels and the rates of RIalpha protein synthesis in wild type and RIIbeta mutant mice reveals that the mechanism of this biochemical compensation by RIalpha does not involve transcriptional or translational control. These in vivo findings are consistent with observations made in cell culture, where we demonstrate that the overexpression of Calpha in NIH 3T3 cells results in increased RIalpha protein without increases in the rate of RIalpha synthesis or the level of RIalpha mRNA. Pulse-chase experiments reveal a 4-5-fold increase in the half-life of RIalpha protein as it becomes incorporated into the holoenzyme. Compensation by RIalpha stabilization may represent an important biological mechanism that safeguards cells from unregulated catalytic subunit activity.

Abstract
LS-174T human colon carcinoma cells that contain approximately equal amounts of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) isozymes, PKA-I and PKA-II, were infected with retroviral vectors coding for regulatory (R) and catalytic (C) subunits of human PKA. In cells overexpressing RII alpha, RII beta and RII beta-P (a RII beta mutant at the autophosphorylation site), PKA-II levels increased while PK-A levels decreased. PKA-I was almost completely eliminated in cells overexpressing RII beta or RII beta-P. In contrast, overexpression of either RI alpha or C alpha had little or no effect on PKA isozyme levels. Although all infectants expressed high levels of PKA subunit mRNAs in accordance with gene introduction, the R subunit protein expression was reflected in PKA isozyme levels rather than in subunit mRNA levels. Only RII beta infectants demonstrated marked growth inhibition in monolayer culture, reduced thymidine incorporation into DNA, and inability to grow in semisolid medium or in serum-free medium. Conversely, all other infectants displayed growth properties similar to uninfected parental cells. The growth-retardation properties of RII beta infectants were reflected in their altered phenotypic appearances. Our findings that the mutant RII beta-P could not mimic the growth-inhibitory effect of RII beta suggest the functional importance of the authophosphorylation site in RII beta. Our results suggest a role for RII beta in the suppression of neoplastic cell growth, and thus abnormal expression of R subunit isoforms of PKA may be involved in neoplastic transformation.

Abstract
Novel (Rp)-cAMPS analogs differed widely in ability to antagonize cAMP activation of pure cAMP-dependent protein kinase I and II and to antagonize actions of cAMP on gene expression, shape change, apoptosis, DNA replication, and protein phosphorylation in intact cells. These differences were related to different abilities of the analogs to stabilize the holoenzyme form relative to the dissociated form of cAMP kinase type I and II. (Rp)-8-Br-cAMPS and (Rp)-8-Cl-cAMPS were the most potent cAMP antagonists for isolated type I kinase and for cells expressing mostly type I kinase, like IPC-81 leukemia cells, fibroblasts transfected with type I regulatory subunit (RI), and primary hepatocytes. It is proposed that (Rp)-8-Br-cAMPS or (Rp)-8-Cl-cAMPS should replace (Rp)-cAMPS as the first line cAMP antagonist, particularly for studies in cells expressing predominantly type I kinase. The phosphorylation of endogenous hepatocyte proteins was affected oppositely by (Rp)-8-Br-cAMPS and increased cAMP, indicating that (Rp)-8-Br-cAMPS inhibited basal cAMP-kinase activity. The inhibition of basal kinase activity was accompanied by enhanced DNA replication, an effect which could be reproduced by microinjected mutant cAMP-subresponsive RI. It is concluded that the basal cAMP-kinase activity exerts a tonic inhibition of hepatocyte replication. (Rp)-8-Br-cAMPS and microinjected RI also desensitized hepatocytes toward inhibition of DNA synthesis by interleukin-1 beta. This indicates that basal cAMP-kinase activity can have a permissive role for the action of another (interleukin-1 beta) signaling pathway.

Abstract
Expression of the RI alpha subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase type I is enhanced in human cancer cell lines, in primary tumours, in cells after transformation and in cells upon stimulation of growth. We have investigated the effect of sequence-specific inhibition of RI alpha gene expression on in vivo tumour growth. We report that single injection RI alpha antisense treatment results in a reduction in RI alpha expression and inhibition of tumour growth. Tumour cells behaved like untransformed cells by making less protein kinase type I. The RI alpha antisense, which produces a biochemical imprint for growth control, requires infrequent dosing to halt neoplastic growth in vivo.

Abstract
In the present study, immunogold labeling of ultrathin sections of ejaculated sperm was used to obtain insight into the ultrastructural localization and presumable function of type II cAMP-dependent protein kinase in sperm motion. In the flagellum, a human-specific isoform of the RII alpha subunit was located on the axonemal microtubule wall, whereas a different isoform of broader specificity was present in the cytoplasm at the periphery of the coarse fibers and fibrous sheath. This isoform was also found in the mitochondria. The human-specific RII alpha subunit is likely linked to microtubules by a unique binding protein of M(r) 72 kD. These findings are in agreement with the concept of a concerted mechanism involving phosphorylation of both the axonemal microtubules and the fibrous structures for the regulation of mammalian sperm motion.

Abstract
Three separate experimental approaches, using site-selective cAMP analogs, antisense strategy and retroviral vector-mediated gene transfer, have provided evidence that two isoforms, the RI- and RII-regulatory subunits of cAMP-dependent protein kinase, have opposite roles in cell growth and differentiation; RI being growth stimulatory while RII is a growth-inhibitory and differentiation-inducing protein. As RI expression is enhanced during chemical or viral carcinogenesis, in human cancer cell lines and in primary human tumors, it is a target for cancer diagnosis and therapy. 8-Cl-cAMP and RI antisense oligodeoxynucleotide, those that effectively down-regulate RI alpha and up-regulate RII beta, provide new approaches toward the treatment of cancer. This approach to modulation of RI vs RII cAMP transducers may also be beneficial toward therapy of endocrine or cellular dysfunction-related diseases where abnormal signal transduction of cAMP is critically involved.
