摘要
Although increases in intracellular cAMP can stimulate estrogen receptor-alpha (ERalpha) activity in the absence of exogenous hormone, no studies have addressed whether ERbeta can be similarly regulated. In transient transfections, forskolin plus 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX), which increases intracellular cAMP, stimulated the transcriptional activities of both ERalpha and ERbeta. This effect was blocked by the protein kinase A inhibitor H89 (N-(2-(p-bromocinnamylamino)-ethyl)-5-isoquinolinesulfonamide) and was dependent on an estrogen response element. A 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate response element (TRE) located 5' to the estrogen response element was necessary for cAMP-dependent activation of gene expression by ERbeta but not ERalpha, indicating that the former subtype requires a functional interaction with TRE-interacting factor(s) to stimulate transcription. Both p160 and CREB-binding protein coactivators stimulated cAMP-induced ERalpha and ERbeta transcriptional activity. However, mutation of the two cAMP-inducible SRC-1 phosphorylation sites important for cAMP activation of chicken progesterone receptor or all seven known SRC-1 phosphorylation sites did not specifically impair cAMP activation of ERalpha. The E/F domains of ERa are sufficient for activation by forskolin/IBMX, and this is accompanied by an increase in receptor phosphorylation. In contrast, cAMP signaling reduces the phosphorylation of the corresponding region of ERbeta, and this correlates with the lack of forskolin/IBMX stimulated transcriptional activity. Our data suggest that cAMP activation of ERalpha transcriptional activity is associated with receptor instead of SRC-1 phosphorylation. Moreover, differences in the cofactor requirements, domains of ERalpha and ERbeta sufficient for forskolin/IBMX activation, and the effect of cAMP on receptor phosphorylation indicate that this signaling pathway utilizes distinct mechanisms to stimulate ERalpha and ERbeta transcriptional activity.
