摘要
cAMP is known to participate in the regulation of apoptosis in leukocytes. Depending on the cell type, pro- and antiapoptotic effects of cAMP have been described. Thus far, most of the cAMP-dependent effects have been attributed to the activation of PKA. However, Epac proteins (direct cAMP targets and guanine nucleotide exchange factors for Ras-like GTPases) have been shown recently to contribute to cAMP-dependent regulation of apoptosis. Therefore, we investigated the effects of the selective Epac activators 8-pCPT and Sp on apoptosis in human leukocytic cells (U937, HL-60, primary human mononuclear cells). We report here that Epac activation inhibits leukocyte apoptosis significantly. J. Leukoc. Biol. 86: 847-849; 2009.
