cAMP/PKA信号通路在肾上腺肿瘤中的作用

目的：探讨cAMP/PKA信号通路在肾上腺肿瘤中的作用。方法将人肾上腺肿瘤H295R细胞随机分为对照组、实验组A及实验组B,对照组不进行处理,实验组A加入cAMP衍生物db-cAMP,实验组B加入db-cAMP及cAMP/PKA信号通路抑制剂H-89,分别检测细胞PKA活性；应用Western Blot方法检测cAMP/PKA信号通路下游CREB蛋白的磷酸化水平；CCK8实验检测细胞72 h的增殖水平；糖皮质激素分泌实验检测3组H295R的激素分泌能力。结果实验组A的PKA活性水平、CREB蛋白的磷酸化水平、细胞增殖水平、糖皮质激素分泌水平均较对照组和实验组B显著升高(P<0．05)；而实验组B与对照组比较差异无统计学意义(P<0．05)。结论 cAMP/PKA信号通路的异常活化能够促进肾上腺肿瘤的形成与功能的发挥。

Effect of cAMP/PKA Signaling Pathways on Adrenal Tumors

Objective To investigate effect of cyclic adenosine monophosphate/protein kinase a ( cAMP/PKA) signaling pathways on adrenal tumors. Methods Human H295R cells of adrenal tumor cells were randomly divided into control group, group A and B. Control group did not undergo any treatment;group A was incubated with cAMP deriva-tives db-cAMP;group B was incubated with db-cAMP and inhibitor of cAMP/PKA signaling pathway H-89. In three groups, PKA activities were detected, and phosphorylation levels of CREB protein were also detected by Western Blot method;72 h cell proliferation levels were detected by CCK8 assay, and capacities of hormone secretion were detected by glucocorticoid secretion experiment. Results Levels of PKA activity, CREB protein phosphorylation, cell proliferation and glucocorticoid secretion were significantly higher in group A than those in control group and group B (P<0. 05);there were no significant differences in the levels between group B and control group (P>0. 05). Conclusion The ab-normal activation of cAMP/PKA signaling pathways can promote formation and functional effect of adrenal tumors.
