The human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) major immediate-early (MIE) enhancer contains five functional cyclic AMP (cAMP) response elements (CRE). Because the CRE in their native context do not contribute appreciably to MIE enhancer/promoter activity in lytically infected human fibroblasts and NTera2 (NT2)-derived neurons, we postulated that they might have a role in MIE enhancer/promoter reactivation in quiescently infected cells. Here, we show that stimulation of the cAMP signaling pathway by treatment with forskolin (FSK), an adenylyl cyclase activator, greatly alleviates MIE enhancer/promoter silencing in quiescently infected NT2 neuronal precursors. The effect is immediate, independent of de novo protein synthesis, associated with the phosphorylation of ATF-1 serine 63 and CREB serine 133, dependent on protein kinase A (PKA) and the enhancer's CRE, and linked to viral-lytic-cycle advancement. Coupling of FSK treatment with the inhibition of either histone deacetylases or protein synthesis synergistically activates MIE gene expression in a manner suggesting that MIE enhancer/promoter silencing is optimally relieved by an interplay of multiple regulatory mechanisms. In contrast, MIE enhancer/promoter silence is not overcome by stimulation of the gamma interferon (IFN-gamma) signaling pathway, despite the enhancer having two IFN-gamma-activated-site-like elements. We conclude that stimulation of the cAMP/PKA signaling pathway drives CRE-dependent MIE enhancer/promoter activation in quiescently infected cells, thus exposing a potential mode of regulation in HCMV reactivation. 相似文献

The human cytomegalovirus (CMV) major immediate-early (MIE) promoter is widely used in mammalian cells for production of recombinant proteins. It is of great interest to further enhance protein production driven by the CMV promoter. Here, we report that the Tax protein of human T-lymphotropic virus stimulates the transgene expression under the control of CMV MIE promoter in HEK293 cells. At least threefold increases in transient production of recombinant proteins, including luciferase and two biopharmaceutical proteins (erythropoietin and interferon-γ), were detected. Furthermore, cyclic adenosine monophosphate (AMP)-response element binding protein 2 (CREB2) was identified as a cellular cofactor, which might be responsible for Tax transactivation of the CMV MIE promoter. Our results not only demonstrate the potential use of this novel expression strategy for improvement of recombinant protein production in HEK293 cells but also provide the molecular mechanism for Tax-mediated activation of CMV MIE promoter. 相似文献
