ERK5 activity is increased by agents known to
activate receptor tyrosine kinases, G-protein coupled receptors, and
stress response pathways. We now find a role for cAMP in the regulation of ERK5. ERK5 is activated by forskolin, isoproterenol, and epinephrine in NIH3T3 cells and C2C12 myoblasts. ERK1/2 are also activated by cAMP
in NIH3T3 cells, but not in C2C12 myoblasts, demonstrating differential
regulation of ERK5 and ERK1/2 by cAMP. We examined the effect of cell
context on activation of ERK5 and discovered ERK5 activity is
inhibited, rather than activated, by cAMP in confluent, serum-deprived
NIH3T3 cells and C2C12 myoblasts. Our results suggest that regulation
of MAP kinase pathways by cAMP is not only dictated by cell type, but
also by cell context.
