12-O-Tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) potentiated the action of cAMP in DNA cleavage in thymocytes induced by a low concentration of adenosine receptor-site agonists such as adenosine, 2-chloroadenosine and forskolin. The enhancement of DNA cleavage by TPA was also observed in dibutyryl cAMP-treated thymocytes. On the other hand, TPA suppressed accumulation of cAMP by the adenosine receptor-site agonists. These results suggest that activation of protein kinase C inhibits cAMP production, but stimulates cAMP-triggered process to induce DNA cleavage and death of thymocytes.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).
