TetR hybrid transcription factors report cell signaling and are inhibited by doxycycline
We developed a bigenic reporter system composed of a hybrid transcription factor that combines the regulatory and activation domains of either Elk-1 or cyclic AMP-responsive element binding protein (CREB) with the DNA binding, dimerization, and ...

A Novel Small-Molecule Inhibitor Targeting CREB-CBP Complex Possesses Anti-Cancer Effects along with Cell Cycle Regulation, Autophagy Suppression and Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress. [PDF]
Lung adenocarcinoma, the most common subtype of lung cancer, is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Despite attempts for the treatment of lung cancer which have been accumulating, promising new therapies are still needed.

The cGMP-dependent protein kinase II Is an inhibitory modulator of the hyperpolarization-activated HCN2 channel [PDF]
Opening of hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) channels is facilitated by direct binding of cyclic nucleotides to a cyclic nucleotide-binding domain (CNBD) in the C-terminus. Here, we show for the first time that in the HCN2 channel

In the framework of space flight, the risk of radiation carcinogenesis is considered a “red” risk due to the high likelihood of occurrence as well as the high potential impact on the quality of life in terms of disease-free survival after space missions.

Crossroads between drug and energy metabolism : role of constitutive androstane receptor and AMP-activated kinase [PDF]
Phenobarbital (PB) is a prototype inducer of genes encoding drug metabolizing enzymes including the cytochromes P450 (CYPs). Additionally, phenobarbital was found to repress genes that encode enzymes involved in gluconeogenesis such as ...

Neuropathic pain, a distressing and debilitating disorder, is still poorly managed in clinic. Opioids, like morphine, remain the mainstay of prescribed medications in the treatment of this disorder, but their analgesic effects are highly unsatisfactory ...

CREB Regulates AChE-R-Induced Proliferation of Human Glioblastoma Cells
The cyclic adenosine monophosphate (AMP) response element-binding protein, CREB, often modulates stress responses. Here, we report that CREB suppresses the glioblastoma proliferative effect of the stress-induced acetylcholinesterase variant, AChE-R.

Cyclic AMP increases COX-2 expression via mitogen-activated kinase in human myometrial cells [PDF]
Cyclic AMP (cAMP) is the archetypal smooth muscle relaxant, mediating the effects of many hormones and drugs. However, recently PGI2, acting via cAMP/PKA, was found to increase contraction-associated protein expression in myometrial cells and to promote ...

Airway epithelial cGAS inhibits LPS-induced acute lung injury through CREB signaling
Increased levels of cytosolic DNA in lung tissues play an important role in acute lung injury. However, the detailed mechanisms involved remain elusive.

Analysis of cyclic di-GMP signaling components in "caulobacter crescentus" behavior and cell cycle control [PDF]
Cell cycle progression and polar morphogenesis in Caulobacter crescentus are coordinated by the interplay of multiple proteins in time and space. One major regulatory factor is the second messenger cyclic di-GMP (c-di-GMP) therefore especially the ...
