Abstract
The cyclic AMP (cAMP) signaling pathway is implicated in the development of alcohol use disorder. Previous studies have demonstrated that ethanol enhances the activity of adenylyl cyclase (AC) in an isoform specific manner; AC7 is most enhanced by ethanol, and regions responsible for enhancement by ethanol are located in the cytoplasmic domains of the AC7 protein. We hypothesize that ethanol modulates AC activity by directly interacting with the protein and that ethanol effects on AC can be studied using recombinant AC in vitro. AC recombinant proteins containing only the C1a or C2 domains of AC7 and AC9 individually were expressed in bacteria, and purified. The purified recombinant AC proteins retained enzymatic activity and isoform specific alcohol responsiveness. The combination of the C1a or C2 domains of AC7 maintained the same alcohol cutoff point as full-length AC7. We also find that the recombinant AC7 responds to alcohol differently in the presence of different combinations of activators including MnCl2, forskolin, and Gsα. Through a series of concentration-response experiments and curve fitting, the values for maximum activities, Hill coefficients, and EC50 were determined in the absence and presence of butanol as a surrogate of ethanol. The results suggest that alcohol modulates AC activity by directly interacting with the AC protein and that the alcohol interaction with the AC protein occurs at multiple sites with positive cooperativity. This study indicates that the recombinant AC proteins expressed in bacteria can provide a useful model system to investigate the mechanism of alcohol action on their activity.

Abstract
Previous research has indicated that the cyclic AMP (cAMP) signal transduction system plays an important role in the predisposition to and development of ethanol abuse in humans. Our laboratory has demonstrated that ethanol is capable of enhancing adenylyl cyclase (AC) activity. This effect is AC isoform-specific; type 7 AC (AC7) is most enhanced by ethanol. Therefore, we hypothesized that the expression of a specific AC isoform will play a role on the effect of ethanol on cAMP regulated gene expression. We employed NIH 3T3 cells transfected with AC7 or AC3 as a model system. To evaluate ethanol's effects on cAMP regulated gene expression, a luciferase reporter gene driven by a cAMP inducing artificial promoter was utilized. Stimulation of AC activity leads to an increase in the reporter gene activity. This increase was enhanced in the presence of ethanol in cells expressing AC7, while cells expressing AC3 did not respond to ethanol. cAMP reporter gene expression was increased in the presence of 8-bromo-cAMP; this expression was not enhanced by ethanol. These observations are consistent with our hypothesis. The basal level of CREB phosphorylation was high and did not change by cAMP stimulation or in the presence of ethanol. However, there were significant changes in the TORC3 amount in nuclei depending on stimulation conditions. The results suggest that nuclear translocation of TORC3 plays a more important role than CREB phosphorylation in the observed changes in the cAMP driven reporter gene activity. Effect of ethanol on cAMP regulated gene expression is AC isoform dependent. cAMP regulated gene expression is most enhanced by ethanol in cells expressing AC7. Gene expression increases with pharmacologically relevant ethanol concentrations. TORC3 nuclear translocation is important for cAMP reporter gene activity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In previous studies, we have shown that ethanol (EtOH) enhances the activity of stimulatory G protein (Gs)-stimulated membrane-bound adenylyl cyclase (AC). The effect is AC isoform specific, and the type 7 AC (AC7) is most responsive to EtOH. In this study, we employed a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based cyclic AMP (cAMP) sensor, Epac1-camps, to examine real-time temporal dynamics of EtOH effects on cAMP concentrations. To our knowledge, this is the first report on real-time detection of the EtOH effect on intracellular cAMP. METHODS Hela cells were transfected with Epac1-camps, dopamine (DA) receptor D1a , and 1 isoform of AC (AC7 or AC3). Fluorescent images were captured using a specific filter set for cyan fluorescent protein (CFP), yellow fluorescent protein (YFP), and FRET, respectively, and FRET intensity was calculated on a pixel-by-pixel basis to examine changes in cAMP. RESULTS During 2-minute stimulation with DA, the cytoplasmic cAMP level quickly increased and then decreased to a plateau, where the cAMP level was higher than the level prior to stimulation with DA. EtOH concentration dependently increased cytoplasmic cAMP in cells transfected with AC7, while EtOH did not have effect on cells transfected with AC3. Similar trends were observed for cAMP at the plasma membrane and in the nucleus during 2-minute stimulation with DA. Unexpectedly, when cells expressing AC7 were stimulated with DA or other Gs-coupled receptor's ligand plus EtOH for 5 seconds, EtOH reduced cAMP concentration. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that EtOH has 2 opposing effects on the cAMP-generating system in an AC isoform-specific manner, the enhancing effect on AC activity and the short-lived inhibitory effect. Thus, EtOH may have a different effect on cAMP depending on not only AC isoform but also the duration of exposure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Our previous studies showed that the activity of adenylyl cyclase (AC) was enhanced by pharmacologically relevant concentrations of ethanol, that this enhancing effect of ethanol on AC activity was AC isoform specific, and that the alcohol cutoff effect for n-alkanol potentiation of AC activity was also AC isoform specific. Therefore, we hypothesized that within the cyclic AMP-generating system, AC is the target of ethanol's action and that alcohols interact directly with the AC molecules. To characterize the interaction between alcohols and AC proteins, the effects of a series of straight chain alcohols would be very valuable in understanding alcohol action at the molecular level. To our knowledge, straight chain alcohols other than n-alkanols and 1,Omega-diols have not been used extensively to study alcohol effects on the activity of AC or other proteins important in the alcohol research field. METHODS The effects of a series of straight chain alcohols on D1A dopamine receptor-stimulated activity of AC isoforms type 6, 7, and 9 (AC6, AC7, and AC9) were examined in transfected Hela cells by a cAMP accumulation assay. RESULTS In general, all 3 AC isoforms responded to a series of straight chain alcohols in a similar manner. The order of responsiveness is as follows: monoalcohol > diol > triol and tetraol. Within monoalcohols, 1-alcohols had larger effects than 2-alcohols. Two of 3 stereoisomers of 2,3-butanediol, [D-(-)-2,3-butanediol and meso-2,3-butanediol] showed similar enhancing effects on all 3 AC isoforms. However, the third stereoisomer, L-(+)-2,3-butanediol, inhibited AC7 activity, while it stimulated AC6 and AC9. CONCLUSION The number and the position of hydroxyl groups in straight chain alcohols play an important role in the magnitude of the enhancement on AC activity. Regardless of AC isoforms, the most effective of the straight chain alcohols seems to be the 1-alcohol (n-alkanol) for a given chain length. We found that one of the stereoisomers of 2,3-butanediol had opposite effects on AC activity depending on the AC isoform. Overall, the results are consistent with the hypotheses and demonstrate that a series of straight chain alcohols can be a valuable tool to study AC-alcohol interactions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The activity of adenylyl cyclase (AC) is enhanced by pharmacologically relevant concentrations of ethanol. The enhancing effect of ethanol on AC activity is AC isoform-specific. Therefore, we hypothesized that within a cyclic AMP-generating system, AC is the target of ethanol's action and that ethanol-sensitive AC molecules contain structural elements modulated by ethanol. The structural elements are designated as "ethanol responsive domains." METHODS By using a series of chimeric mutants, we searched regions of the AC molecule that are important for the ethanol effect. These chimeric mutants were derived from 3 isoforms of AC: AC7 (type 7), the most ethanol responsive isoform; AC3 (type 3), an isoform that is far less responsive to ethanol; and AC2 (type 2), an isoform that is homologous to AC7 but less responsive to ethanol. RESULTS We identified 2 discrete regions of the AC molecule that are important for the enhancement of AC activity by ethanol. The first is the N-terminal 28-amino-acid (aa) region of the C(1a) domain. The second is the C-terminal region ( approximately 140 aa) of the AC molecule. Sequence differences in the N-terminal tail, 2 putative transmembrane domains, and the C(1b) domain are not important for ethanol's effect. CONCLUSIONS The current study with mammalian ACs provides a new class of alcohol-responsive protein and possibly a new mechanism of alcohol action on cellular function. The identification of ethanol responsive domains will facilitate the elucidation of the mechanisms by which ethanol enhances the activity of AC.

Abstract
Alcohol dependence (alcoholism) is a complex disorder attributed to the interaction of genetic and environmental factors that form a collage of "disease" predisposition, which is not identical for every alcohol-dependent individual. There is considerable evidence to demonstrate that genetic predisposition accounts for roughly half the risk in the development of alcohol dependence. Both family and population studies have identified a number of genomic regions with suggestive links to alcoholism, yet there have been relatively few definitive findings with regard to genetic determinants of alcoholism. This ambiguity can be attributed to a multitude of complications of studying complex mental disorders, such as clinical heterogeneity, polygenic determinants, reduced penetrance, and epistatic effects. Complex mental disorders are clinical manifestations described by combinations of various signs and symptoms. One approach to overcoming the ambiguity in studying the association between genetic risk factors and disease is to dissect the complex, heterogeneous disorder by using intermediate phenotypes--or endophenotypes--to generate more homogeneous diagnostic groupings than an all-encompassing definition, such as the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV)-derived term "alcohol dependence" or the commonly used term "alcoholism." The advantage of using endophenotypes is that the number of influential factors that contribute to these characteristics should be fewer and more easily identified than the number of factors affecting the heterogeneous entity of alcohol dependence (alcoholism). A variety of alcohol-related characteristics have been investigated in epidemiological, clinical, and basic research as potential endophenotypes of alcohol dependence. These include phenotypes related to alcohol metabolism, physiological and endocrine measures, neural imaging, electrophysiology, personality, drinking behavior, and responses to alcohol and alcohol-derived cues. This review summarizes the current literature, focused on human data, of promising endophenotypes for dissecting alcoholism.

Abstract
Ethanol can enhance G(salpha)-stimulated adenylyl cyclase (AC) activity. Of the nine isoforms of AC, type 7 (AC7) is the most sensitive to ethanol. The potentiation of AC7 by ethanol is dependent on protein kinase C (PKC). We designed studies to determine which PKC isotype(s) are involved in the potentiation of Galpha(s)-activated AC7 activity by ethanol and to investigate the direct phosphorylation of AC7 by PKC. AC7 was phosphorylated in vitro by the catalytic subunits of PKCs. The addition of ethanol to AC7-transfected HEK 293 cells increased the endogenous phosphorylation of AC7, as indicated by a decreased "back-phosphorylation" of AC7 by PKC in vitro. The potentiation of Galpha(s)-stimulated AC7 activity by either phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate or ethanol, in HEL cells endogenously expressing AC7, was not through the Ca(2+)-sensitive conventional PKCs. However, the potentiation of AC7 activity by ethanol or phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate was found to be reduced by the selective inhibitor of PKCdelta (rottlerin), a PKCdelta-specific inhibitory peptide (deltaV1-1), and the expression of the dominant negative form of PKCdelta. Immunoprecipitation data indicated that PKCdelta could bind and directly phosphorylate AC7. The results indicate that the potentiation of AC7 activity by ethanol involves phosphorylation of AC7 that is mediated by PKCdelta.

Abstract
In previous work, we identified genetic correlations between cAMP accumulation in the cerebellum and sensitivity to the incoordinating effects of ethanol. A genetic correlation suggests that common genes underlie the phenotypes investigated. One method for provisionally identifying genes involved in a given phenotypic measure is quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis. Using a panel of 30 BXD recombinant inbred strains of mice and the progenitors (DBA/2J and C57BL/6J), and the dowel test for ataxia, we measured the blood ethanol concentrations at the time an animal first fell from the dowel and acute functional tolerance (AFT), and investigated cAMP signaling in the cerebellum. Cyclic AMP accumulation was measured in whole-cell preparations of cerebellar minces from individual mice under basal or stimulated conditions. We conducted a genome-wide QTL analysis of the behavioral and biochemical measures with >2000 genetic markers to identify significant associations. Western blot and comparative sequencing analysis were used to compare cAMP response element binding protein (CREB) levels and protein-coding sequence, respectively. QTL analyses correlating strain means with allelic status at genetic markers identified several significant associations (p < 0.01). Analysis of variance revealed an effect of strain on behavioral and biochemical measures. There was a significant genetic correlation between initial sensitivity and basal cAMP accumulation in the cerebellum. We identified 6 provisional QTLs for initial sensitivity on four chromosomes, 6 provisional QTLs for AFT on four chromosomes, and 11 provisional QTLs for cAMP signaling on nine chromosomes. Two loci were found to overlap for measures of initial sensitivity and for cAMP signaling. Given the genetic correlation between initial sensitivity and basal cAMP accumulation, we investigated candidate genes in a QTL on chromosome 1. Comparative sequence analysis was performed, and protein levels were compared between C57 and DBA mice for Creb1. No significant differences were detected in coding sequence or protein levels for CREB. These results suggest that although ethanol sensitivity and cAMP signaling are determined by multiple genes, they may share certain genetic codetermination.

Abstract
Moderate and regularly alcohol consumption reduces death rate from coronary heart disease and thrombotic stroke. This beneficial correlation observed with several alcoholic beverages seems to be mainly due to an ethanol effect. However the particular role of microconstituants contained in red wine must be considered. The mechanism of the putative protective effect of alcohol intake is mediated through the elevation of HDL cholesterol and through the aintioxydative effect of polyphenolic compounds. In addition, alcohol acts favourably on platelets agregation, fibrinolysis and several other coagulation parameters. Despite these explanations are yet speculative and there is no causal relation between alcohol and reduced coronary death, epidemiological data are consistent with the belief that daily consumption of one or two glasses of an alcoholic beverage has salutary effect on health.
