This function is mediated via the activation of the cAMP/PKA/CREB (cAMP-responsive element binding protein) and the transactivation of the EGF-R (epidermal growth factor receptor) leading to the activation of phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI3K), protein kinase C(PKC), Akt-protein kinase B (AKT/PKB), extracellular regulated kinase (ERK1/2 or mitogen-activated protein kinase [MAPK]) signaling pathways and to the up-regulation of the expression of the cell cycle regulator cyclinD1 (Figure 3)
