title: Involvement of cyclic adenosine monophosphate-dependent protein kinase isozymes in tissue plasminogen activator secretion by rat Sertoli cells stimulated with follicle-stimulating hormone in vitro.
abstract: This study was undertaken to investigate, in freshly isolated rat Sertoli cells, the physiological function of the type I and type II cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-dependent protein kinase isozymes in tissue-type plasminogen activator secretion and the regulation of this cAMP process by follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). Follicle-stimulating hormone-induced tissue-type plasminogen activator secretion depends upon intracellular cAMP levels. The changes in cAMP amounts required to activate maximally the tissue-type plasminogen activator secretion are extremely small, a cAMP threshold having to be reached for triggering the tissue-type plasminogen activator output. Intact Sertoli cells were incubated with combinations of cAMP analogs specific for each cAMP-dependent protein kinase type and complementary in their cAMP binding site on the cAMP-dependent protein kinase regulatory subunits: 8-aminohexylamino-cAMP = type 1, site 1; 8-thiomethyl-cAMP = type II, site 1 and N6-benzoyl-cAMP = types I/II, site 2. This allowed us to activate selectively each cAMP-dependent protein kinase type in a synergistic manner and then to evaluate their respective influence in the specific tissue-type plasminogen activator response. We establish that both of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase types are present and functional; the activity of the type I isozyme is preponderant (60%) in the cAMP-dependent tissue-type plasminogen activator secretion. Likewise, when these cAMP analogs were coupled with endogenously generated cAMP by FSH or forskolin, both of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase types were involved in the tissue-type plasminogen activator production.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
