The A126 cell line, in contrast to its PC12 parent, does not differentiate, accumulate nuclear cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA) catalytic subunit, or transcribe cAMP-dependent promoters in response to cAMP. Total PKA is reduced by 50% and is partly resistant to cAMP-induced dissociation in vivo. Unlike PC12, where PKAII is membrane-associated, PKAII is exclusively cytosolic in A126. Cotransfection with the RII anchor protein (AKAP75) and the PKA catalytic subunit (C-PKA) restored cAMP-induced transcription to levels found in PC12. These data indicate that membrane-bound PKAII amplifies cAMP signaling to the nucleus and suggest that cAMP-mediated responses are specified by the type and cellular localization of the PKA isoform.

Historically, plant derived natural products and their crude extracts have been used to treat a wide range of ailments across the world. Biogerontology research aims to explore the molecular basis of aging and discover new anti-aging therapeutic compounds or formulations to combat the detrimental effects of aging and promote a healthy life span. The budding yeast has been, and continues to be, an indispensable model organism in the field of biomedical research for discovering the molecular basis of aging has preserved nutritional signaling pathways (such as the target of rapamycin (TOR)-Sch9 and the Ras-AC-PKA (cAMP-dependent protein kinase) pathways, and shows two distinct aging paradigms chronological life span (CLS) and replicative life span (RLS).

Background: Bok is a poorly characterized Bcl-2 protein family member with roles yet to be clearly defined. It is clear, however, that Bok binds strongly to inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP) receptors (IPRs), which govern the mobilization of Ca from the endoplasmic reticulum, a signaling pathway required for many cellular processes. Also known is that Bok has a highly conserved phosphorylation site for cAMP-dependent protein kinase at serine-8 (Ser-8).

Background: Endometriosis is characterized by the ectopic growth of endometrial-like cells, causing chronic pelvic pain, adhesions and impaired fertility in women of reproductive age. Usually, these lesions grow in the peritoneal cavity in a hypoxic environment. Hypoxia is known to affect gene expression and protein kinase (PK) activity.
