Cyclic AMP‐dependent protein kinase A negatively modulates adherens junction integrity and differentiation of intestinal epithelial cells
Bibliographic record
Abstract
UNLABELLED: Intestinal epithelial cell differentiation is a complex process in which many different signaling pathways are likely involved. An increase in the intracellular levels of cyclic AMP (cAMP) has been shown to inhibit enterocyte differentiation; however, the mechanisms through which cAMP/PKA signaling modulates differentiation of human intestinal epithelial cells are still not well understood. Herein, we report that: (1) treatment of Caco-2/15 cells with 8Br-cAMP repressed sucrase-isomaltase and villin protein expression and strongly attenuated morphological differentiation of enterocyte-like features in Caco-2/15 such as epithelial cell polarity and brush border formation; (2) treatment of confluent Caco-2/15 cells with 8Br-cAMP led to a strong decrease in F-actin localized at cell-cell contact sites along with a reduced amount of E-cadherin and catenins, but not of ZO-1, at cell-cell interfaces concomitant with a decreased association of these proteins with the actin cytoskeleton; (3) inhibition of PKA by H89 prevented disruption of adherens junctions by extracellular calcium depletion; (4) treatment of Caco-2/15 cells with 8Br-cAMP prevented the recruitment and activation of p85/PI-3K to E-cadherin-mediated cell-cell contacts, an important event in the assembly of adherens junctions and differentiation of these cells; (5) E-cadherin appears to be phosphorylated on serine in vivo in a PKA-dependent mechanism. CONCLUSION: Our studies show that cAMP/PKA signaling negatively regulates adherens junction integrity as well as morphological and functional differentiation of intestinal epithelial cells.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
