Cyclic adenosine monophosphate response element (CRE) binding protein (CREB) is a nuclear transcription factor that regulates the transcription of several genes containing the CRE sites in their promoters. CREB is activated by phosphorylation on a key serine residue, Ser 311, in response to a wide variety of extracellular stimuli including angiotensin II (Ang II). Ang II is an important vasoactive peptide and mitogen for vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) that in addition to regulating the contractile response in VSMC also plays an important role in phenotypic switch of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) from contractile to a synthetic state. The synthetic VSMC are known to exhibit proliferative and migratory properties due to hyperactivation of Ang II-induced signaling events. Ang II has been shown to induce CREB phosphorylation/activation and transcription of genes implicated in proliferation, growth and migration. Here, we have highlighted some key studies that have demonstrated an important role of CREB in Ang II-mediated gene transcription, proliferation, hypertrophy and migration of VSMC.
