The cAMP-response element-binding protein
(CREB) is activated by phosphorylation on serine 133 and mediates the
proliferative response to a number of different signals. A mutant CREB
with a serine to alanine substitution at position 133 (CREBM1)
functions as a dominant-negative inhibitor. Transgenic mice that
express the dominant-negative CREB protein in B lymphocytes were
developed as a means to study the effects of the inhibition of CREB
function on B-cell proliferation and survival. We have shown previously that CREB up-regulates Bcl-2 expression in B cells in response to
activation signals. B cells from CREBM1 transgenic mice expressed lower
levels of Bcl-2 with and without stimulation. Proliferation of B
cells from the transgenic mice was impaired in part by lack of
induction of activator protein 1 (AP1) transcription factors. B
cells from the transgenic mice were more susceptible to induction of
apoptosis with several different agents, consistent with the decreased
expression of Bcl-2. These studies demonstrate that B-cell activation
requires phosphorylation of CREB for the proliferative response and to
protect against activation-induced apoptosis.
