Abstract excerpt
The precise mechanistic role of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase (cAMP-PK) in cAMP-mediated gene induction remains unclear. Renal epithelial cell mutants were compared to the LLC-PK1 parental cell line for induction of the cAMP-responsive urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) gene, as quantitated by the technique of mRNA solution hybridization. The FIB4 and FIB6 mutants, which possess less than 10% parental...
