Description

ADCY5 belongs to the family of enzymes responsible for the synthesis of cAMP. ADCY5 activity is an important physiological mechanism for mediating enhanced exercise performance [4342]. ADCY5 appears to have some impact on murine ageing and possibly on human ageing.

Knockout mice are protected from ageing-induced cardiomyopathy and susceptibility to fractures of ageing, and have an increased median lifespan of approximately 30%. Cells from these animals are also more resistant to oxidative stress [1845]. Moreover, knockout mice eat more but weight less and accumulate less fat compared to wild-type. Putting mice under caloric restriction results in weight loss, metabolic deterioration and premature death. While pathological mechanisms cannot be excluded, these results suggest Adcy5 may be involved in caloric restriction [3290]. In keeping with its role in exercise performance transgenic overexpression of ADCY5 in cardiomyocytes of the heart (AC5-Tg) improves baseline cardiac function but impairs the ability of the heart to withstand stress [3581]. In contradiction to this ADCY5 knockout mice have also been shown to have enhanced exercise performance, though this effect was found to be limited to skeletal muscle. In relation to its role in longevity, exercise performance was also improved in ADCY5 knock-out mice. This effect was blocked when SIRT1, MEK or SOD2 inhibitors were used [4342]. Additionally, ADCY5 knockout delays age-related tumor incidence significantly and protects against mammary tumor development in AC5KO × MMTV-HER-2 neu mice, and B16F10 melanoma tumor growth [3580], which could explain why AC5KO is a model of longevity.
