2 Pancreatic Cancer 2016 statistics: 53,070 Americans will be diagnosed 41,780 Americans will die There was an increase in 7% for estimated deaths 5-year survival rate of just 8% Risk factors: Smoking Poor diet Exposure to pesticides, dyes, and chemicals

3 Cyclic AMP Second messenger generated from ATP, reaction catalyzed by adenylyl cyclases Implicated in the differentiation and progression of several normal and malignant cell types Has controversial effects on cell proliferation in cancer cells

4 Adenylyl Cyclase Adenylyl cyclases (AC) are enzymes which increase the levels of camp when activated. Ten isoforms of AC exist, nine are transmembrane and only one is soluble. Gαs Gαi ACs Forskolin (FSK) ATP camp

10 Pathways implicated in the effects of camp There are currently two pathways implicated in the effect of camp: Protein Kinase A (PKA) Exchange protein directly activated by camp (EPAC) ATP ACs camp Forskolin (FSK) EPAC PKA

11 Hypothesis Because PKA and EPAC are known effectors of camp, our hypothesis is that: both PKA and EPAC are involved in the inhibitory effect of FSK/AC1/cAMP pathway on cell proliferation of pancreatic cancer cells.

12 Objective To identify the downstream mediators implicated in effect of the FSK/AC1/cyclic AMP pathway, given that this particular pathway cause an inhibition on proliferation of pancreatic adenocarcinoma epithelial HPAC cell line.

13 Methods Plasmid: pcmv-sport6 ADCY1 Transfection reagent: Lipofectamine P3000 ACs Forskolin (FSK) Western Blotting To test exogen AC1 expression ATP camp determination using EIA kit from Cayman To test the enzymatic activity of exogen AC1 Vybrant MTT Cell Proliferation Assay Kit To determine the cell proliferation camp H-89 FSK (20 µm) To activate AC isoforms, except AC9 Inhibitors: H89 (10 µm) and ESI-09 (15 nm) To inhibit PKA and EPAC activity, respectively. ESI EPAC PKA

14 Results

15 AC1 is over expressed in HPAC cells using ADCY1 plasmid Western Blotting camp determination ** AC1 tubulin control ADCY1 * 6-well plate

16 PKA is the downstream effector implicated in the FSK/AC1/cAMP inhibitory effect on HPAC cells Rate of Cell Proliferation Fold of increase

17 Conclusion AC1 was overexpressed successfully using ADCY1 plasmid FSK inhibited cell proliferation in HPAC cells as previously found. The overexpression of AC1 enhanced the inhibitory effect of FSK on cell proliferation. The inhibitory effect of FSK/AC1/cAMP pathway was counteracted in presence of the PKA inhibitor H-89. The inhibitory effect of FSK/AC1/cAMP pathway was not modified in presence of the Epac inhibitor ESI. Through the overexpression of the ADCY1 plasmid and the use of chemical inhibitors, we are able to conclude that Protein Kinase A is the main mediator of the inhibitory effect of FSK/AC1/cAMP pathway on proliferation of pancreatic cancer cells. FSK AC1 camp PKA

GPCR. 2. Briefly describe the steps in PKA activation by a GPCR signal. You are encouraged to include a sketch. Biochemical Signaling Many of the most critical biochemical signaling pathways originate with an extracellular signal being recognized by a GPCR or a RTK. In this activity, we will explore these two signaling
