Abstract Purpose: Protein kinase A (PKA) affects cell proliferation in many cell types and is a potential target for cancer treatment. PKA activity is stimulated by cAMP and cAMP analogs. One such substance, 8-Cl-cAMP, and its metabolite 8-Cl-adenosine (8-Cl-ADO) are known inhibitors of cancer cell proliferation; however, their mechanism of action is controversial. We have investigated the antiproliferative effects of 8-Cl-cAMP and 8-CL-ADO on human thyroid cancer cells and determined PKA’s involvement. Experimental Design: We employed proliferation and apoptosis assays and PKA activity and cell cycle analysis to understand the effect of 8-Cl-ADO and 8-Cl-cAMP on human thyroid cancer and HeLa cell lines. Results: 8-Cl-ADO inhibited proliferation of all cells, an effect that lasted for at least 4 d. Proliferation was also inhibited by 8-Cl-cAMP, but this inhibition was reduced by 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine; both drugs stimulated apoptosis, and 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine drastically reduced 8-Cl-cAMP-induced cell death. 8-Cl-ADO induced cell accumulation in G1/S or G2/M cell cycle phases and differentially altered PKA activity and subunit levels. PKA stimulation or inhibition and adenosine receptor agonists or antagonists did not significantly affect proliferation. Conclusions: 8-Cl-ADO and 8-Cl-cAMP inhibit proliferation, induce cell cycle phase accumulation, and stimulate apoptosis in thyroid cancer cells. The effect of 8-Cl-cAMP is likely due to its metabolite 8-Cl-ADO, and PKA does not appear to have direct involvement in the inhibition of proliferation by 8-Cl-ADO. 8-Cl-ADO may be a useful therapeutic agent to be explored in aggressive thyroid cancer.
