The soluble form of ADCYs, ADCY10, is ubiquitously expressed in the cytoplasm and distinct organelles including cell nucleus. In contrast to its membrane-associated isoforms (ADCY1-9) which are stimulated by G-protein-coupled receptors, ADCY10 is activated by bicarbonate (HCO3-) and can form cAMP in nearly all cell compartments. ADCY10 is involved in a variety of physiological as well as pathological processes including cell cycle control in tumor cells. However, the underlying mechanism is still unclear. Here the role of ADCY10 in cell cycle control and cell proliferation is studied in endothelial cells from human umbilical veins (HUVECs). The current study reveals that ADCY10 and α-Tubulin translocate and colocalize during mitosis suggesting a role of ADCY10 in cell division. In addition, FACS analysis demonstrated that ADCY10 plays a role in cell proliferation by modulating cell cycle control. Inhibition of ADCY10 by 0 mM HCO3- or 10 μM KH7 (specific ADCY10 inhibitor) induced cell accumulation in G2 phase rather than M phase determined by decreased mitotic indicator cyclin B1 level. Thus, ADCY10 inhibition leads to decreased cell proliferation. The known cAMP effectors, Epac and PKA, were assessed as possible downstream targets of ADCY10 in cell proliferation. It was shown that ADCY10 and Epac induce cell proliferation via ERK1/2-MAPK pathway. Inhibition of Epac was associated with suppressed cell proliferation. However, an arrest of cell cycle after Epac inhibition was observed in G0/G1 phases rather than S or G2/M phases. Thus, Epac inhibition causes a different arrest of cell cycle compared to ADCY10 inhibition. Regarding PKA, it was demonstrated that deficiency of PKA might play a role in either activation or inhibition of cell proliferation. However, direct inhibition of PKA by PKI and H-89 did not lead to cell accumulation in G2. This effect might be associated with broadened roles of PKA in different pathways. In contrast, direct stimulation of PKA under ADCY10 inhibition revealed that PKA is a downstream molecule of ADCY10 as a regulator of cell cycle transition from G2 to mitotic phase. However, the underlying pathway remains to be investigated. The cell cycle transition of G2/M phase is regulated by an auto-amplification loop of cyclin B1/CDK1, which is controlled by the kinase WEE1 and the phosphatase PP2A. WEE1 content was regulated via ADCY10 but was independent of PKA or Epac. Direct inhibition of PP2A showed a suppression of cell proliferation and induced cell cycle arrest in G2. These results were in accordance with those observed after the ADCY10. Furthermore, inhibition of ADCY10 had no effect on PP2A expression level but rather affected PP2A activity and was independent of Epac and PKA. Therefore, this data provides evidence that ADCY10 controls cell proliferation and cell cycle regulation via PP2A. Taken together, ADCY10 coordinates the cell cycle progression in a complex framework. Downstream of ADCY10, Epac promotes G1/S transition, whereas PKA mediates cell cycle transition of G2/M.
