Abstract
Pancreatic adenocarcinomas (PDAC) often possess mutations in K-Ras that stimulate the ERK pathway. Aberrantly high ERK activation triggers oncogene-induced senescence, which halts tumor progression. Here we report that low-grade pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia displays very high levels of phospho-ERK consistent with a senescence response. However, advanced lesions that have circumvented the senescence barrier exhibit lower phospho-ERK levels. Restoring ERK hyperactivation in PDAC using activated RAF leads to ERK-dependent growth arrest with senescence biomarkers. ERK-dependent senescence in PDAC was characterized by a nucleolar stress response including a selective depletion of nucleolar phosphoproteins and intranucleolar foci containing RNA polymerase I designated as senescence-associated nucleolar foci (SANF). Accordingly, combining ribosome biogenesis inhibitors with ERK hyperactivation reinforced the senescence response in PDAC cells. Notably, comparable mechanisms were observed upon treatment with the platinum-based chemotherapy regimen FOLFIRINOX, currently a first-line treatment option for PDAC. We thus suggest that drugs targeting ribosome biogenesis can improve the senescence anticancer response in pancreatic cancer.

Abstract
Cellular senescence is characterized by an irreversible cell cycle arrest that, when bypassed by mutation, contributes to cellular immortalization. Activated oncogenes induce a hyperproliferative response, which might be one of the senescence cues. We have found that expression of such an oncogene, Akt, causes senescence in primary mouse hepatoblasts in vitro. Additionally, AKT-driven tumors undergo senescence in vivo following p53 reactivation and show signs of differentiation. In another in vivo system, i.e., liver fibrosis, hyperproliferative signaling through AKT might be a driving force of the senescence in activated hepatic stellate cells. Senescent cells up-regulate and secrete molecules that, on the one hand, can reinforce the arrest and, on the other hand, can signal to an innate immune system to clear the senescent cells. The mechanisms governing senescence and immortalization are overlapping with those regulating self-renewal and differentiation. These respective control mechanisms, or their disregulation, are involved in multiple pathological conditions including fibrosis, wound healing, and cancer. Understanding extracellular cues that regulate these processes may enable new therapies for these conditions.

Abstract
Initial sweet taste transduction is expected to occur in the subsecond time range. We demonstrate a rapid and transient (75-250 ms) increase of cGMP (but not cAMP) level in rat intact circumvallate taste cells after stimulation by sucrose. This rapid increase does not occur in nonsensory epithelial cells. Pretreatment with a nonspecific phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitor (IBMX), a specific cAMP-PDE4 inhibitor (denbufylline), or an adenylyl cyclase activator (forskolin) all increased basal cAMP and abolished the sucrose-stimulated cGMP increase at 150 ms. Pretreatment with a soluble guanylyl cyclase inhibitor (1H-[1,2,4]oxadiazolo[4, 3-a]quinoxalin-1-one) reduced, whereas a specific cGMP-PDE inhibitor (zaprinast) abolished, the sucrose-stimulated cGMP increase. It is proposed that cGMP is involved in the initial stage of sugar taste transduction and that cGMP is more significant than cAMP at this stage. Activation of soluble guanylyl cyclase and inhibition of cGMP-PDE may be involved in the transient elevation of cGMP in response to sucrose stimulation. Moreover, it appears that cAMP level must remain low for sucrose to stimulate an increase in cGMP.

Abstract
Some amphipathic bitter tastants and non-sugar sweeteners are direct activators of G proteins and stimulate transduction pathways in cells not related to taste. We demonstrate that the amphipathic bitter tastants quinine and cyclo(Leu-Trp) and the non-sugar sweetener saccharin translocate rapidly through multilamellar liposomes. Furthermore, when rat circumvallate (CV) taste buds were incubated with the above tastants for 30 s, their intracellular concentrations increased by 3.5- to 7-fold relative to their extracellular concentrations. The time course of this dramatic accumulation was also monitored in situ in rat single CV taste buds under a confocal laser-scanning microscope. Tastants were clearly localized to the taste cell cytosol. It is proposed that, due to their rapid permeation into taste cells, these amphipathic tastants may be available for activation of signal transduction components (e. g., G proteins) directly within the time course of taste sensation. Such activation may occur in addition to the action of these tastants on putative G protein-coupled receptors. This phenomenon may be related to the slow taste onset and lingering aftertaste typically produced by many bitter tastants and non-sugar sweeteners.

Abstract
We have used a homology based approach to identify G protein-coupled receptors preferentially expressed in retinal and taste cells. Rat and bovine sequences encoding a novel G protein-coupled receptor have been isolated. Analysis indicates that while the protein sequence is most similar to the receptors for somatostatin and opiates, it is unlikely to be a subtype of these receptors. Northern and RNase protection analysis indicates that the gene is preferentially expressed in neural and sensory tissues.
