摘要
In eukaryotic cells, a multiplicity of extra-cellular signals can activate a unique signal transduction system that at the nuclear level will turn on a variety of target genes, eliciting thus diverse responses adapted to the initial signal. How distinct signals can converge on a unique signalling pathway that will nevertheless produce signal-specific responses provides a theoretical paradox that can be traced back early in evolution. In bilaterians, the CREB pathway connects diverse extra-cellular signals via cytoplasmic kinases to the CREB transcription factor and the CBP co-activator, regulating according to the context, cell survival, cell proliferation, cell differentiation, pro-apoptosis, long-term memory, hence achieving a "hub" function for cellular and developmental processes. In hydra, the CREB pathway is highly conserved and activated during early head regeneration through RSK-dependent CREB phosphorylation. We show here that the CREB transcription factor and the RSK kinase are co-expressed in all three hydra cell lineages including dividing interstitial stem cells, proliferating nematoblasts, proliferating spermatogonia and spermatocytes, differentiating and mature neurons as well as ectodermal and endodermal myoepithelial cells. In addition, CREB gene expression is specifically up-regulated during early regeneration and early budding. When the CREB function was chemically prevented, the early Post-amputation induction of the HyBraI gene was no longer observed and head regeneration was stacked. Thus, in hydra, the CREB pathway appears already involved in multiple tasks, such as reactivation of developmental programs in an adult context, self-renewal of stem cells, proliferation of progenitors and neurogenesis. Consequently, the hub function played by the CREB pathway was established early in animal evolution and might have contributed to the formation of an efficient oral pole through the integration of the neurogenic and patterning functions.
