Abstract
The transcription factor c-jun is significantly reduced while c-fos becomes up regulated after cAMP elevation. However an electrophoretic mobility shift assay with the activator protein-1 motif present in the promoter of the rat NPP1 gene indicates that this motif is not involved in the cAMP-dependent inhibition of NPP1 expression. In conclusion, these results indicate that intracellular cAMP levels regulate the expression of NPP1 in rat C6 glioma cells by a signalling pathway that is different from the GFAP signal transduction pathway.
