Macrophages are central mediators of the innate immune system that can be differentiated from monocytes upon exposure to cytokines. While increased cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) levels are known to inhibit many lipopolysaccharide-elicited macrophage inflammatory responses, the effects of elevated cAMP on monocyte/macrophage differentiation are not as well understood. We show here that during differentiation, cAMP agonists can cause a large increase in the mRNA and protein levels of sever ...[more]
