Adenosine 3′,5′-cyclic monophosphate has been used:
as cell culture medium supplement in embryonic spinal neurons[1][2]
as a component of ringer solution for perfusion studies[3]
to induce neuroendocrine differentiation in human lung cancer cell lines[4]
Biochem/physiol Actions
Naturally-occurring activator of cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA). The cAMP/PKA signaling pathway inhibits cell proliferation, induces differentiation and leads to apoptosis.
Naturally-occurring activator of cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA). cAMP is an important second messenger that is linked in many systems to neurotransmitter- or hormone-induced receptor stimulation. The cAMP/PKA signaling pathway has been shown to inhibit cell proliferation, induce differentiation and lead to apoptosis.

Striatal medium spiny neurons (MSNs) mediate many of the physiological effects of dopamine, including the regulation of feeding and motor behaviors. Dopaminergic inputs from the midbrain modulate MSN excitability through pathways that involve cAMP and protein kinase A (PKA), but
Malignant melanomas harbouring point mutations (Val600Glu) in the serine/threonine-protein kinase BRAF (BRAF(V600E)) depend on RAF-MEK-ERK signalling for tumour cell growth. RAF and MEK inhibitors show remarkable clinical efficacy in BRAF(V600E) melanoma; however, resistance to these agents remains a formidable challenge.
