Abstract excerpt
Cyclic AMP (cAMP) rescues cells from apoptosis stimulated by diverse insults. We examined the role of cAMP as a survival factor, and the signaling pathways through which cAMP affords protection. Rat thyroid cells were selected for these studies given the predominant role of cAMP in thyrotropin (TSH)-stimulated proliferation and as an oncogene in thyroid cells. Wistar rat thyroid (WRT) cells perished via apoptosis...
