Abstract excerpt
Prodynorphin transcription has been postulated as an important molecular mechanism involved in adaptation/repair processes. Expression of prodynorphin is modulated according to the levels of the second messengers cAMP and Ca(2+). In the neuroblastoma cell lines, the increase of prodynorphin mRNA levels is coupled to an elevation of intracellular cAMP levels. Promoter analyses have revealed that the DRE site, a...
