Role of cAMP response element binding protein in cardiovascular remodeling: good, bad, or both?
نویسنده
چکیده
The cAMP response element binding protein (CREB) is a ubiquitously expressed nuclear transcription factor that is activated by various extracellular stimuli. CREB is known to regulate the expression of genes important to cell proliferation, differentiation, adaptation, and survival in many cell types. Loss of CREB function by transgenic overexpression of dominant negative CREB or targeted deletion of the CREB gene revealed that CREB is involved in the differentiation of T lymphocytes, production of growth hormone, and the long-term potentiation of neuronal memory. The role of CREB in cardiovascular system is incompletely characterized and several controversies remain. A growing body of recent evidence, however, has suggested that CREB plays an important role in the cardiovascular remodeling process, including inflammation, cell migration, and apoptosis. Thus, CREB may be a possible target for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis, restenosis, and reperfusion injury.

متن کاملElevation of cAMP Levels Inhibits Doxorubicin-Induced Apoptosis in Pre- B ALL NALM- 6 Cells Through Induction of BAD Phosphorylation and Inhibition of P53 Accumulation
Recognition of the molecular mechanisms of cAMP action against DNA damage-induced apoptosis can be useful to improve the efficacy of DNA damaging therapeutic agents. Considering the critical role of bcl-2-associated death promoter (BAD) and p53 proteins in DNA damage -induced apoptosis, the aim of this study was to assess the effect of cAMP-elevating agents on these proteins in doxorubicin-trea...

Elevated cAMP levels in B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL) cells attenuate the doxorubicin-induced p53 accumulation and protect cells against apoptosis. cAMP responsive element binding protein (CREB) is a cAMP-stimulated transcription factor that regulates genes whose deregulated expression cooperatein oncogenesis. In the present study, we investigated the role of CREB on i...

متن کاملThyroid hormone inhibits vascular remodeling through suppression of cAMP response element binding protein activity.
OBJECTIVE Although accumulating evidences suggest that impaired thyroid function is a risk for ischemic heart disease, the molecular mechanism of anti-atherosclerotic effects of thyroid hormone is poorly defined. We examined whether thyroid hormone affects signaling pathway of angiotensin II (Ang II), which is critically involved in a broad aspect of cardiovascular disease process. METHODS AN...
