Abstract

Earlier studies from our laboratory demonstrated an insulin-mediated increase in cAMP-response element binding protein (CREB) phosphorylation. In this report, we show that insulin stimulates both CREB phosphorylation and transcriptional activation in HepG2 and 3T3-L1 cell lines, models of insulin-sensitive tissues. Insulin stimulated the phosphorylation of CREB at serine 133, the protein kinase A site, and mutation of serine 133 to alanine blocked the insulin effect. Many of the signaling pathways known to be activated by insulin have been implicated in CREB phosphorylation and activation. The ability of insulin to induce CREB phosphorylation and activity was efficiently blocked by PD98059, a potent inhibitor of mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK1), but not significantly by rapamycin or wortmannin. Likewise, expression of dominant negative forms of Ras or Raf-1 completely blocked insulin-stimulated CREB transcriptional activity. Finally, we demonstrate an essential role for CREB in insulin activation of fatty-acid synthase and fatty acid binding protein (FABP) indicating the potential physiologic relevance of insulin regulation of CREB. In summary, insulin regulates CREB transcriptional activity in insulin-sensitive t...Continue Reading
