Abstract

We previously showed that cAMP can inhibit DNA damage-induced wild type p53 accumulation in human pre-B NALM-6 cells, leading to a profound reduction of their apoptotic response. Here, we provide evidence for the potentiation of DNA damage-induced NF-kappaB activation by cAMP. We found that inhibition of NF-kappaB activation prevents the inhibitory effect of cAMP on doxorubicin-induced apoptosis. Moreover, cAMP exerts its inhibitory effect on doxorubicin-induced apoptosis in a PKA-independent manner. The present study also shows that elevation of cAMP prolongs the phosphorylation of IkappaB and subsequent activation of NF-kappaB in doxorubicin treated NALM-6 cells in a proteasome-dependent manner. Taken together, our results demonstrate that cAMP abrogates the balance between apoptotic and antiapoptotic transcription factors that are hallmarks of DNA damage signaling.

BCL-2 Family Proteins

BLC-2 family proteins are a group that share the same homologous BH domain. They play many different roles including pro-survival signals, mitochondria-mediated apoptosis and removal or damaged cells. They are often regulated by phosphorylation, affecting their catalytic activity. Here is the latest research on BCL-2 family proteins.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
