Effects of forskolin on cyclic nucleotide production and Ca2+ influx in unidentified single anterior pituitary cells from PKA mice models. A, top: basal and forskolin (5 μM)-stimulated cAMP intracellular accumulation (right) and release (left) in pituitary cells from normal (open bars), Prkar1a+/−Prkaca+/− (gray bars), and Prkar1a+/− mice (black bars); means ± SE from 6 determinations. *Significant differences between normal and Prkar1a+/− cells. A, bottom: Western blot analysis of adenylyl cyclase (AC)5/6 expression in mouse and rat pituitary cells. B: forskolin stimulates Ca2+ influx in anterior pituitary cells from Prkar1a+/−Prkaca+/− but not Prkar1a+/− animals. Traces shown are representative of 5 similar experiments with ≥10 recordings/experiment.
