Activation of alpha 1 adrenergic receptors not only stimulates smooth muscle contraction but also modifies gene expression. We wondered if alpha 1 adrenergic receptors could activate transcription of genes regulated by the cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB). Using Rat1 cells stably transfected with each of the three cloned human alpha 1 adrenergic receptor subtypes, norepinephrine strongly stimulated CREB phosphorylation in alpha 1A and alpha 1B but more weakly in alpha 1D-transfected cells. Norepinephrine increased the activity of a somatostatin cAMP-regulated enhancer-chloramphenicol acetyltransferase reporter in these cells. alpha 1 adrenergic receptors are known to activate protein kinase C (PKC) and increase [Ca2+ ]i. Nonetheless, neither GF109203X, a PKC inhibitor, nor BAPTA-AM, a calcium chelator, blocked phosphorylation of CREB induced by norepinephrine. In addition, alpha 1 adrenergic receptor-induced CREB phosphorylation was not mediated via the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway because norepinephrine did not stimulate mitogen-activated protein kinase activity in these cells. Activation of alpha 1 adrenergic receptors increased cAMP accumulation in these cells. Norepinephrine-induced cAMP-regulated enhancer-chloramphenicol acetyltransferase activity was inhibited either by expression of the PKA inhibitory peptide or a dominant negative PKA regulatory subunit mutant. These results demonstrate that alpha 1 adrenergic receptors activate the transcription factor CREB by a PKA-dependent pathway.
