In contrast to all transmembrane adenylyl cyclases except ADCY9, the cytosolic soluble adenylyl cyclase (ADCY10) is insensitive to forskolin stimulation and is uniquely modulated by calcium and bicarbonate ions. In the present paper, we focus on ADCY10 localization and a kinetic analysis of intracellular cAMP accumulation in response to human LH in the absence or presence of four different ADCY10 inhibitors (KH7, LRE1, 2-CE and 4-CE) in MTLC-1 cells. ADCY10 was immuno-detected in the cytoplasm of MLTC-1 cells and all four inhibitors were found to inhibit LH-stimulated cAMP accumulation and progesterone level in MLTC-1 and testosterone level primary Leydig cells. Interestingly, similar inhibitions were also evidenced in mouse testicular Leydig cells. In contrast, the tmAC-specific inhibitors ddAdo3′ and ddAdo5′, even at high concentration, exerted weak or no inhibition on cAMP accumulation, suggesting an important role of ADCY10 relative to tmACs in the MLTC-1 response to LH. The strong synergistic effect of HCO3− under LH stimulation further supports the involvement of ADCY10 in the response to LH.

OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: Our objective is to study the role of soluble adenylyl cyclase in the melanocyte regulation of pigment in response to ultraviolet radiation. Melanocytes are specialized cells that produce melanin in organelles called melanosomes, and melanin determines the pigmentation of hair and skin. cAMP is a master regulator of pigmentation and transmembrane class of adenylyl cyclases are essential for expression of important enzymes involved in melanogenesis. However, pigmentation is also controlled by melanosomal pH, which regulates melanogenesis, tyrosinase activity, and melanosome maturation. The relationship between melanosomal pH and cAMP has been elusive. Soluble adenylyl cyclase is a noncanonical source of cAMP that is not responsive to G proteins but rather functions as a pH sensor. We recently demonstrated that loss of soluble adenylyl cyclase (sAC) activity leads to increased melanosomal pH as well as increased pigmentation in cells and hair. We expanded our research to investigate the role of sAC in the intrinsic response of melanocytes to ultraviolet radiation. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We utilized sACfl/fl (wild type) and sACKO mouse melanocytes and compared their change in pigmentation in response to ultraviolet radiation. Melanin was used as a measure of pigmentation. We irradiated these cells at differing doses of UVB (0, 1, 2, or 3 mJ/cm2) daily for 3 days. After UVB treatment, cells were observed and the surviving cell numbers were determined. Cells were then analyzed for melanin content using spectroscopy. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: We found that while both sACfl/fl and sACKO cells had increased melanin content in response to UVB, the melanin content of sACKO cells increased more compared with sACfl/fl cells (p=0.001 at daily dose of 3 mJ/cm2). In addition, sACKO cells required less UVB dose to induce a response. We also observed that sACKO cells show increased cell death compared with sACfl/fl cells. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: Although both sACfl/fl and sACKO cells can induce melanin production in response to UV, our results suggest that sACKO cells are more sensitive. We believe that this increased response in sACKO cells is due to increased melanosomal pH. In addition, sACKO cells show increased cell death, suggesting that sAC is important in the damage response secondary to UV exposure. UV plays a wide range of roles in skin biology such as contributing to cancer risk and pigmentation. Since pigmentation is essential for the protection of the skin from UV insult, further investigation of possible mechanisms in which sAC can influence pigmentation in response to UV is warranted.

Different Types

AbstractCyclic AMP is produced in cells by two very different types of adenylyl cyclases: the canonical transmembrane adenylyl cyclases (tmACs, ADCY1∼9) and the evolutionarily more conserved soluble adenylyl cyclase (sAC, ADCY10). While the role and regulation of tmACs is well documented, much less is known of sAC in cellular metabolism. We demonstrate here that sAC is an acute regulator of glycolysis, oxidative phosphorylation and glycogen metabolism, tuning their relative bioenergetic contributions. Suppression of sAC activity leads to aerobic glycolysis, enhanced glycogenolysis, decreased oxidative phosphorylation, and an elevated cytosolic NADH/NAD+ ratio, resembling the Warburg phenotype. Importantly, we found that glycogen metabolism is regulated in opposite directions by cAMP depending on its location of synthesis and downstream effectors. While the canonical tmAC-cAMP-PKA axis promotes glycogenolysis, we identify a novel sAC-cAMP-Epac1 axis that suppresses glycogenolysis. These data suggest that sAC is an autonomous bioenergetic sensor that suppresses aerobic glycolysis and glycogenolysis when ATP levels suffice. When the ATP level falls, diminished sAC activity induces glycogenolysis and aerobic glycolysis to maintain energy homeostasis.

Cell Retraction

Soluble adenylyl cyclase toxins, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa exoY, generate a cAMP pool that retracts cell borders. However, the cytoskeletal basis by which this cAMP signal retracts cell borders is not known. We sought to determine whether activation of chimeric, soluble adenylyl cyclase I/II (sACI/II) reorganizes either microtubules or peripheral actin. Endothelial cells were stably transfected with either green fluorescent protein-labeled α-tubulin or β-actin, and then infected with adenovirus to express sACI/II. Forskolin, which stimulates both the endogenously expressed transmembrane adenylyl cyclases and sACI/II, induced cell retraction accompanied by the reorganization of peripheral microtubules. However, cortical filamentous-actin (f-actin) did not reorganize into stress fibers, and myosin light-chain-20 phosphorylation was decreased. Isoproterenol, which activates endogenous adenylyl cyclases but does not activate sACI/II, did not induce endothelial cell gaps and did not influence microtubule or f-actin architecture. Thus, sACI/II generates a cAMP signal that reorganizes microtubules and induces cell retraction, without inducing f-actin stress fibers. These findings illustrate that endothelial cell gap formation can proceed without f-actin stress fiber formation, and provide mechanistic insight how bacterial adenylyl cyclase toxins reorganize the cytoskeleton to induce cell rounding.

Abstract. We have established a relatively simple and sensitive system for measuring T3 as well as cAMP secretion using cryopreserved human thyroid cells in culture. We defined optimal culture conditions and characterized the system. T3 secretion from human thyrocytes (only 1 × 105 cells/well) could be stimulated in a time- and dose-dependent fashion by both TSH (doses as low as 10 mU/l) and thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulin to levels 5- to 10-fold above baseline. The response to the thyroid stimulating agents was preserved for at least 3 weeks. Experiments with inhibitors of iodothyronine synthesis (propylthiouracil and methimazole) indicated that the bulk of the TSH-stimulated T3 secretion measured apparently derives from de novo iodothyronine biosynthesis rather than preformed T3. We utilized the system to investigate some aspects in the regulation of human thyrocyte T3 and cAMP secretion. Maximum stimulation of the thyroid hormone was achieved at TSH doses capable of evoking a further rise in levels of cAMP. A rise in cAMP accumulation was observed as early as 15 min following exposure to TSH, whereas it took 1–4 days to detect a significant increase in T3 secretion. Within 6 h of incubation, the bulk of TSH-stimulated intracellular cAMP was found released into the medium. l-methyl-3-isobutylxanthine (MIX) caused a dose-related decrease (beyond 0.1 mmol/l MIX) in TSH-stimulated T3 secretion which contrasted with a concomitant expected increase in cAMP accumulation. Hence, as also observed in adrenal and testicular tissue, xanthines at high concentration seem to exhibit a dual action: potentiation of cAMP accumulation by inhibiting phosphodiesterase activity and a concomitant reduction of hormone formation.

Adenylyl cyclase, E.C. 4.6.1.1, converts ATP to cyclic AMP and pyrophosphate. Mammalian membrane-delimited adenylyl cyclases (nomenclature as approved by the NC-IUPHAR Subcommittee on Adenylyl cyclases [9]) are typically made up of two clusters of six TM domains separating two intracellular, overlapping catalytic domains that are the target for the nonselective activators Gαs (the stimulatory G protein α subunit) and forskolin (except AC9, [21]). adenosine and its derivatives (e.g. 2',5'-dideoxyadenosine), acting through the P-site,are inhibitors of adenylyl cyclase activity [27]. Four families of membranous adenylyl cyclase are distinguishable: calmodulin-stimulated (AC1, AC3 and AC8), Ca2+- and Gβγ-inhibitable (AC5, AC6 and AC9), Gβγ-stimulated and Ca2+-insensitive (AC2, AC4 and AC7), and forskolin-insensitive (AC9) forms. A soluble adenylyl cyclase (AC10) lacks membrane spanning regions and is insensitive to G proteins.It functions as a cytoplasmic bicarbonate (pH-insensitive) sensor [5].

Differentiation of Ob1771 preadipocytes to adipocytes was characterized by morphological changes and elevated expression of the specific marker enzyme, glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. A differentiation response substantially more complete and rapid than that obtained with insulin and 3,5,3′-triiodothyronine was observed with established inhibitors of adenylyl cyclases: 2′,5′-dideoxyadenosine (2′,5′-dd-Ado), 9-(cyclopentyl)adenine (9-CP-Ade), and 9-(arabinofuranosyl)adenine (9-Ara-Ade), coincident with decreased cellular cAMP levels. These ligands inhibit adenylyl cyclases noncompetitively, via a domain referred to as the P-site because of its requirement for an intact purine moiety. Differentiation was not induced by inosine, a nucleoside known not to act at the P-site, or by N 6-(2-phenylisopropyl)adenosine or 1,3-diethyl-8-phenylxanthine, agonist and antagonist, respectively, for adenosine A1 receptors. Also ineffective were IBMX or forskolin, agents that can raise intracellular cAMP levels. Potency of the differentiation response followed the order 2′,5′-dd-Ado (1–20 μM) > 9-CP-Ade (10–100 μM) = 9-Ara-Ade (10–100 μM) >> inosine, consistent with their potencies to inhibit adenylyl cyclases. The data suggest that inhibition of adenylyl cyclase via the P-site and the consequent reduction in cell cAMP levels facilitate the induction of differentiation in Ob1771 cells. The findings raise the question whether the known endogenous P-site ligands participate in the differentiation response induced by hormones.

CFTR channels conduct HCO3− in addition to Cl− in airway epithelial cells. A defective HCO3−-transporting function of CFTR may underlie the pathogenesis of cystic fibrosis. In the present study, we have investigated whether a HCO3−-sensitive soluble adenylyl cyclase (sAC) is functionally coupled with CFTR and thus forms an autoregulatory mechanism for HCO3− transport in human airway epithelial Calu-3 cells. A reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction showed that transcripts of both full-length and truncated sACs are present in Calu-3 cells. Truncated sAC protein is the predominant, if not the only, isoform expressed in Calu-3 cells. HCO3− stimulated a modest increase in cAMP production, and the increase was sensitive to 2-hydroxyestradiol (2-HE), a sAC inhibitor, but not to SQ22,536, a blocker of conventional transmembrane adenylyl cyclases. These results suggest that sAC is functional in Calu-3 cells. Adding 25 mM HCO3− to the bath stimulated CFTR-mediated whole cell currents in the absence, but not in the presence, of 2-HE. In cell-attached membrane patches, 25 or 50 mM HCO3− in the bath markedly increased the product of channel number and open probability of CFTR, and this activation was attenuated by 2-HE. These findings demonstrate that sAC signaling pathway is involved in the regulation of CFTR function in human airway epithelium and thereby provides a link between the level of intracellular HCO3−/CO2 and the modulation of HCO3−-conductive CFTR function by cAMP/PKA.
