Application

Adenosine 3′,5′-cyclic monophosphate has been used:
  • as cell culture medium supplement in embryonic spinal neurons
  • as a component of ringer solution for perfusion studies
  • to induce neuroendocrine differentiation in human lung cancer cell lines

Biochem/physiol Actions

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.

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.
