IL-1beta inhibits isoproterenol (ISO)-induced relaxation of cultured human airway smooth muscle (HASM) cells. The purpose of this study was to determine whether IL-1beta can also suppress ISO-induced cAMP response element (CRE)-dependent gene expression. ISO (10 microM) caused a marked increase in CRE-binding protein (CREB) phosphorylation, which was attenuated by IL-1beta (2 ng/ml). This effect of IL-1beta was abolished by the cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitor indomethacin. To examine CRE-driven gene expression, we transiently transfected HASM cells with a construct containing CRE upstream of a luciferase reporter gene. ISO (6 h) caused a sixfold increase in luciferase activity. IL-1beta (24 h) alone also increased luciferase activity, although to a lesser extent (2-fold). However, the ability of ISO to elicit luciferase expression was markedly reduced in cells treated with IL-1beta. Indomethacin, the MEK and p38 inhibitors U-0126 and SB-203580, the protein kinase A inhibitor H-89, and dexamethasone each completely abolished the ability of IL-1beta to induce CRE-driven gene expression but only slightly increased the ability of ISO to induce CRE-driven gene expression in IL-1beta-treated cells. IL-1beta also attenuated dibutyryl cAMP-induced CRE-driven gene expression, but not dibutyryl cAMP-induced CREB phosphorylation. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (10 ng/ml) also attenuated ISO-induced CRE-driven gene expression, even though it was without effect on ISO-induced cAMP formation or ISO-induced CREB phosphorylation. The results suggest that IL-1beta and tumor necrosis factor-alpha may attenuate the ability of beta-agonists to induce expression of genes with CRE in their regulatory regions at least in part through events downstream of CREB phosphorylation. 相似文献

The death of midbrain dopaminergic neurons in sporadic Parkinson disease is of unknown etiology but may involve altered growth factor signaling. The present study showed that leptin, a centrally acting hormone secreted by adipocytes, rescued dopaminergic neurons, reversed behavioral asymmetry, and restored striatal catecholamine levels in the unilateral 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) mouse model of dopaminergic cell death. In vitro studies using the murine dopaminergic cell line MN9D showed that leptin attenuated 6-OHDA-induced apoptotic markers, including caspase-9 and caspase-3 activation, internucleosomal DNA fragmentation, and cytochrome c release. ERK1/2 phosphorylation (pERK1/2) was found to be critical for mediating leptin-induced neuroprotection, because inhibition of the MEK pathway blocked both the pERK1/2 response and the pro-survival effect of leptin in cultures. Knockdown of the downstream messengers JAK2 or GRB2 precluded leptin-induced pERK1/2 activation and neuroprotection. Leptin/pERK1/2 signaling involved phosphorylation and nuclear localization of CREB (pCREB), a well known survival factor for dopaminergic neurons. Leptin induced a marked MEK-dependent increase in pCREB that was essential for neuroprotection following 6-OHDA toxicity. Transfection of a dominant negative MEK protein abolished leptin-enhanced pCREB formation, whereas a dominant negative CREB or decoy oligonucleotide diminished both pCREB binding to its target DNA sequence and MN9D survival against 6-OHDA toxicity. Moreover, in the substantia nigra of mice, leptin treatment increased the levels of pERK1/2, pCREB, and the downstream gene product BDNF, which were reversed by the MEK inhibitor PD98059. Collectively, these data provide evidence that leptin prevents the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons by 6-OHDA and may prove useful in the treatment of Parkinson disease. 相似文献

Transducer of regulated CREB activity (TORC) proteins promote transactivation by the cAMP response element binding protein (CREB) and mediate effects of cAMP agonists on gene expression. Koo et al. now report that TORC phosphorylation and nuclear/cytoplasmic shuttling play a key role in the regulation of gluconeogenesis by cAMP. Control of TORC phosphorylation and function may integrate the effects of multiple factors involved in metabolic control, including cAMP agonists, insulin, and AMP kinases. TORCs, and kinases affecting TORC function, are promising new therapeutic targets for the treatment of diabetes mellitus. 相似文献

Previous work demonstrated that cystic fibrosis (CF) cells exhibit an increase in cAMP-mediated signaling as a characteristic response to lost CFTR function. Evidence for increased cAMP-mediated signaling in CF included increased phosphorylation of the cAMP response element binding protein (CREB) and elevated β-arrestin-2 (βarr2) expression. However, subsequent studies reveal that CREB activation in CF cells is independent of protein kinase-A (PKA). The goal of this study is to test the hypothesis that elevated βarr2 expression leads to increased CREB activation in a PKA-independent mechanism. βarr2-GFP expressing tracheal epithelial cells (βarr2-GFP) exhibit an increase of pCREB content and subsequent CRE activation compared to GFP expressing control cells. βarr2 activation of the ERK cascade represents a candidate mechanism leading to CREB activation. ERK exhibits increased activation in βarr2-GFP cells compared to cont-GFP cells, and ERK inhibition diminishes CRE activation in both GFP and βarr2-GFP cells. To test directly whether CREB regulation in CF is βarr2-dependent, nasal epithelium excised from wt mice (Cftr +/+; βarr2 +/+), CF mice (Cftr -/-; βarr2 +/+), and DKO mice (Cftr -/-; βarr2 -/-) were analyzed for pCREB protein content. Removal of βarr2 expression from CF mice reduces both pCREB and pERK content to wt levels. These data indicate that CF-related CREB regulation is mediated directly through βarr2 expression via the ERK pathway. 相似文献
