Identification of signal transduction pathways that modulate dibutyryl cyclic adenosine monophosphate activation of stanniocalcin gene expression in neuroblastoma cells.

Abstract：

:Stanniocalcin (STC) is a new mammalian polypeptide hormone and appears to be a regulator of neuronal function. We have already shown that the induction of STC mRNA and protein expression by cAMP is integral to neuroblastoma cell differentiation, particularly neurite outgrowth. In this study, we examined the cAMP pathway in greater detail. Some common neuritogenic agents, euxanthone (PW1) and trans-retinoic acid (RA), were studied for possible interactions with the dibutyryl cAMP (dbcAMP)-mediated response. Our results showed that STC mRNA induction by dbcAMP was mediated by protein kinase A-cAMP response element binding protein (CREB) pathway, accompanied with phosphorylation of CREB and a reduction of p50, p65, and phosphorylated inhibitor kappaBalpha levels. Using a synthetic peptide nuclear factor-kappaB SN50, stimulation of dbcAMP-mediated STC expression was observed; indicating the nuclear translocation of nuclear factor kappaB might possibly repress STC expression. dbcAMP-induced STC mRNA expression was enhanced by PW1. In contrast, RA had highly suppressive effects. Cotreatment of cell with PW1 and cAMP provoked an increase in phosphorylated CREB (pCREB). Conversely, cotreatment with RA suppressed pCREB. The results highlighted the importance of phosphorylation of CREB in mediating STC gene expression. Taking a step further to dissect the possible regulatory pathways involved, with the aid of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate or ionomycin, additive effects on STC gene expression were observed. The induction was aided by further elevation of pCREB, which was completely abolished by Gö 6976, a Ca2+-dependent protein kinase C (PKC) alpha and PKCbeta1 inhibitor. Our results indicated that cross-talk with PKC and/or Ca2+ signaling pathways might sensitize cAMP-mediated effects, on CREB phosphorylation and STC gene expression.
