Abstract
Increase of cytosolic free calcium played a pivotal role in apoptotic cells induced by trichosanthin. However, little is known about the influence of cytosolic calcium increase on adenylyl cyclase activity and intracellular cAMP signaling pathway in HeLa cells. The present study showed that an influx of extracellular Ca2+ initiated by trichosanthin was required for the suppression of adenylyl cyclase activity and decrease of intracellular cAMP level. Furthermore, this inhibition was abolished by activation of PKC rather than PKA. Therefore, our results suggested that increase of cytosolic calcium induced by trichosanthin inhibits cAMP levels via suppression of adenylyl cyclase activity.Entities:
