Abstract Erythroid colony formation in response to erythropoietin (EPO) stimulation is enhanced by costimulating the cells with prostaglandin-E2 (PGE2). The present study further analyzed the underlying mechanisms and demonstrated that EPO-mediated STAT5 transactivation in the erythroid AS-E2 cell line was enhanced 6-fold by PGE2 (10 μM), without affecting the STAT5 tyrosine phosphorylation or STAT5-DNA binding. Moreover, the PGE2-enhancing effect was independent of STAT5 serine phosphorylation. In AS-E2 cells STAT5 is constitutively phosphorylated on Ser780 (STAT5A) and EPO-dependently phosphorylated on Ser726/731 (STAT5A/STAT5B), but overexpression of STAT5 serine mutants did not affect STAT5 transactivation. In addition, PGE2 did not affect STAT5 serine phosphorylation. Instead, the stimulatory effect of PGE2 on STAT5 signaling could be mimicked by dibutyryl-cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and the phosphodiesterase inhibitor IBMX, suggesting that the effect was mediated by cAMP. Activation of the cAMP pathway resulted in cAMP-response element binding protein (CREB) phosphorylation, which was sustained in the presence of EPO plus PGE2 and transient on EPO stimulation alone. The costimulatory effect of PGE2 on EPO-mediated STAT5 transactivation was inhibited by overexpression of serine-dead CREB or protein kinase A (PKA) inhibitor (PKI), in contrast to EPO-mediated transactivation, which was PKA independent. Furthermore, CREB-binding protein (CBP)/p300 was shown to be involved in EPO-mediated STAT5 transactivation, and a CBP mutant with increased affinity for CREB resulted in an additional enhancement of the PGE2 effect. Finally, we demonstrated that the STAT5 target genes Bcl-X, SOCS2, andSOCS3 were up-regulated by costimulation with PGE2. In summary, these studies demonstrate that PGE2 enhancement of EPO-induced STAT5 transactivation is mediated by the cAMP/PKA/CREB pathway.

Abstract The molecular and intracellular signaling processes that control sleep and wake states remain largely unknown. A consistent observation is that the cyclic adenosine monophosphate (AMP) response element-binding protein (CREB), an activity-dependent transcription factor, is differentially activated during sleep and wakefulness. CREB is phosphorylated by the cyclic AMP/protein kinase A (cAMP/PKA) signaling pathway as well as other kinases, and phosphorylated CREB promotes the transcription of target genes. Genetic studies in flies and mice suggest that CREB signaling influences sleep/wake states by promoting and stabilizing wakefulness. However, it remains unclear where in the brain CREB is required to drive wakefulness. In rats, CREB phosphorylation increases in the cerebral cortex during wakefulness and decreases during sleep, but it is not known if this change is functionally relevant to the maintenance of wakefulness. Here, we used the Cre/lox system to conditionally delete CREB in the forebrain (FB) and in the locus coeruleus (LC), two regions known to be important for the production of arousal and wakefulness. We used polysomnography to measure sleep/wake levels and sleep architecture in conditional CREB mutant mice and control littermates. We found that FB-specific deletion of CREB decreased wakefulness and increased non-rapid eye movement sleep. Mice lacking CREB in the FB were unable to sustain normal periods of wakefulness. On the other hand, deletion of CREB from LC neurons did not change sleep/wake levels or sleep/wake architecture. Taken together, these results suggest that CREB is required in neurons within the FB but not in the LC to promote and stabilize wakefulness.

Abstract The role of ceramide as a second messenger is a subject of great interest, particularly since it is implicated in signaling in response to inflammatory cytokines. Ceramide induces apoptosis in both cytokine-dependent MC/9 cells and factor-independent U937 cells. Elevation of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) levels inhibits apoptosis induced by ceramide and several other treatments. One target of cAMP-mediated signaling is the transcription factor CREB (cAMP response element binding protein), and recently CREB phosphorylation at an activating site has been shown to also be mediated by a cascade involving p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), one of the stress-activated MAP kinases. Because no role for p38 MAPK in apoptosis has been firmly established, we examined the relationship between p38 MAPK and CREB phosphorylation under various conditions. Ceramide, or sphingomyelinase, like tumor necrosis factor- (TNF-) or the hematopoietic growth factor, interleukin-3 (IL-3), was shown to activate p38 MAPK, which in turn activated MAPKAP kinase-2. Each of these treatments led to phosphorylation of CREB (and the related factor ATF-1). A selective p38 MAPK inhibitor, SB203580, blocked TNF-– or ceramide-induced CREB phosphorylation, but had no effect on the induction of apoptosis mediated by these agents. The protective agents cAMP and IL-3 also led to CREB phosphorylation, but this effect was independent of p38 MAPK, even though IL-3 was shown to activate both p38 MAPK and MAPKAP kinase-2. Therefore, the opposing effects on apoptosis observed with cAMP and IL-3, compared with ceramide and TNF-, could not be explained on the basis of phosphorylation of CREB. In addition, because SB203580 had no effect of TNF- or ceramide-induced apoptosis, our results strongly argue against a role for p38 MAPK in the induction of TNF-– or ceramide-induced apoptosis.

To investigate an involvement of catecholamines and/or the cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) systems in the development of drug dependence, we examined whether phencyclidine (PCP) and morphine dependence were developed in tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) heterozygous (TH+/-) and cAMP response element binding protein (CREB) binding protein (CBP) heterozygous (CBP+/-) mice. PCP (8 mg/kg) induced place preference in wild-type mice pretreated with PCP (10 mg/kg/day for 28 days) and increased the level of cAMP in the striatum, but not in the thalamus/hypothalamus. In TH+/- and CBP+/- mice, however, we could not find PCP-induced place preference. The increased level of cAMP in the striatum was observed in CBP+/-, but not TH+/- mice. When wild-type mice pretreated with morphine (10 mg/kg) twice a day for 5 days were challenged with naloxone (5 mg/kg), they showed increased jumping, rearing, and forepaw tremor counts as a sign of withdrawal and an increased level of cAMP in the thalamus/hypothalamus, but not in the striatum. In TH+/- and CBP+/- mice, however, jumping and forepaw tremor counts were decreased compared to in wild-type mice. An increase in the level of cAMP in the thalamus/hypothalamus in CBP+/-, but not in TH+/- mice was observed. These results suggest that catecholamines and CBP are involved in the development of PCP and morphine dependence, and that changes in catecholaminergic and/or cAMP systems induced by repeated PCP and morphine treatments play an important role in the addiction to PCP and morphine.

AbstractCBP [cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) response element-binding protein (CREB)-binding protein] is one of the most researched proteins for its therapeutic function. Several studies have identified its vast functions and interactions with other transcription factors to initiate cellular signals of survival. In cancer and other diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Rubinstein-taybi syndrome, and inflammatory diseases, CBP has been implicated and hence an attractive target in drug design and development. In this review, we explore the various computational techniques that have been used in CBP research, furthermore we identified computational gaps that could be explored to facilitate the development of highly therapeutic CBP inhibitors.

Muscle Afferent

Group III/IV muscle afferents transduce nociceptive signals and modulate exercise pressor reflexes (EPRs). However, the mechanisms governing afferent responsiveness to dually modulate these processes are not well characterized. We and others have shown that ischemic injury can induce both nociception-related behaviors and exacerbated EPRs in the same mice. This correlated with primary muscle afferent sensitization and increased expression of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) in injured muscle and increased expression of GDNF family receptor α1 (GFRα1) in dorsal root ganglia (DRG). Here, we report that increased GDNF/GFRα1 signaling to sensory neurons from ischemia/reperfusion-affected muscle directly modulated nociceptive-like behaviors and increased exercise-mediated reflexes and group III/IV muscle afferent sensitization. This appeared to have taken effect through increased cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) response element binding (CREB)/CREB binding protein-mediated expression of the purinergic receptor P2X5 in the DRGs. Muscle GDNF signaling to neurons may, therefore, play an important dual role in nociception and sympathetic reflexes and could provide a therapeutic target for treating complications from ischemic injuries.

Creb Activation

ABSTRACT The cAMP response element binding protein (CREB) is a bifunctional transcription activator, exerting its effects through a constitutive activation domain (CAD) and a distinct kinase inducible domain (KID), which requires phosphorylation of Ser-133 for activity. Both CAD and phospho-KID have been proposed to recruit polymerase complexes, but this has not been directly tested. Here, we show that the entire CREB activation domain or the CAD enhanced recruitment of a complex containing TFIID, TFIIB, and RNA polymerase II to a linked promoter. The nuclear extracts used mediated protein kinase A (PKA)-inducible transcription, but phosphorylation of CRG (both of the CREB activation domains fused to the Gal4 DNA binding domain) or KID-G4 did not mediate recruitment of a complex, and mutation of the PKA site in CRG abolished transcription induction by PKA but had no effect upon recruitment. The CREB-binding protein (CBP) was not detected in the recruited complex. Our results support a model for transcription activation in which the interaction between the CREB CAD and hTAFII130 of TFIID promotes the recruitment of a polymerase complex to the promoter.
