摘要
The cAMP response element binding protein, CREB, is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signal-activated transcription factor implicated in the control of many biological processes. In the current study, we constructed a cAMP response element (CRE)-driven luciferase assay system for GPCR characterization in insect cells. Our results indicated that Gs-coupled Bombyx adipokinetic hormone receptor (AKHR) and corazonin receptor could effectively initiate CRE-driven luciferase transcription, but forskolin, a reagent widely used to activate adenylyl cyclase in mammalian systems, failed to induce luciferase activity in insect cells co-transfected with a CRE-driven reporter construct upon agonist treatment. Further investigation revealed that the specific protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitors exhibited stimulatory effects on CRE-driven reporter transcription, and blockage of Ca2+ signals and inhibition of Ca2+-dependent calcineurin resulted in a significant decrease in the luciferase activity. Taken together, these results suggest that PKC likely acts as a negative regulator to modulate CREB activation; in contrast, Ca2+ signals and Ca2+-dependent calcineurin, in addition to PICA, essentially contribute to the positive regulation of CREB activity. This study presents evidence to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanism by which CREB activation is regulated in insects. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
