TAK1 mediates an activation signal from toll-like receptor(s) to nuclear factor-kappaB in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated macrophages.

abstract：:We have previously shown that Rap1 as well as its guanine nucleotide exchange factor Epac1 increases cell-cell junction formation. Here, we show that activation of Epac1 with the exchange protein directly activated by cAMP (Epac)-specific cAMP analog 8CPT-2'O-Me-cAMP (007) resulted in a tightening of the junctions and...
