cAMP positively and negatively regulates hepatocyte proliferation but its molecular targets are still unknown.
Cyclin A2
is a major regulator of the cell cycle progression and its synthesis is required for progression to S phase. We have investigated whether cyclin A2 and cyclin A2-associated kinase might be one of the targets for the cAMP transduction pathway during progression of hepatocytes through G1 and G1/S. We show that stimulation of primary cultured hepatocytes by
glucagon
differentially modulated the expression of G1/S cyclins.
Glucagon
indeed upregulated cyclin A2 and cyclin A2-associated kinase while cyclin E-associated kinase was unmodified. In conclusion, our study identifies cyclin A2 as an important effector of the cAMP transduction network during hepatocyte proliferation.
