cAMP induces autophagy via a novel pathway involving ERK, cyclin E and Beclin 1

Abstract excerpt

Autophagy plays an important role in cellular remodelling during differentiation and development, however little is known about its regulation in stem cells. Here we show that cAMP, a well-known differentiation factor for mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), is also a potent inducer of autophagy in these cells. We have previously shown that activation of the cAMP-signaling pathway inhibits proliferation of MSCs despite...
