Synergistic increase in c-fos expression by simultaneous activation of the ras/raf/map kinase-and protein kinase A signaling pathways is mediated by the c-fos AP-1 …

Expression of the c-fos proto-oncogene is induced by numerous stimuli some of which are
transmitted through the Ras/Raf/MAP kinase or the cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA)
pathways. The effect of cell-specific interactions between these pathways on c-fos
expression was investigated by exposing quiescent NIH3T3 cells to serum, forskolin, or a
combination. Co-stimulation with serum and forskolin resulted in a more than additive
increase in c-fos transcription. Synergistic increase in c-fos promoter activity was also …
