Cyclic AMP regulates somatostatin mRNA accumulation in primary diencephalic cultures and in transfected fibroblast cells

Abstract: Although the factors controlling the secretion of the neuropeptide somatostatin have been extensively studied, little is known about the mechanisms that control somatostatin biosynthesis. Somatostatin secretion is regulated by numerous agents that increase intracellular levels of cAMP. We sought to determine whether cAMP also regulates somatostatin mRNA accumulation. We found that forskolin elicited an increase in somatostatin secretion and mRNA levels in primary cultures of rat diencephalic cells. Another sec… Show more

“…Total RNA was isolated from untreated cells or from cells treated with forskolin, TSA (100 ng/ml), 15 mM sodium butyrate, or 100 nM trapoxin. Northern blot analysis was performed as described previously, using either an antisense RNA probe to rat somatostatin or an ␣-tubulin cDNA probe (18).…”

“…On the other hand, we previously showed that cAMP increased SRIH biosynthesis in experiments conducted with rat hypothalamic neurons or in NIH-3T3 fibroblast cells transfected with the rat SRIH gene (Montminy et al 1986). Within the SRIH gene, a cAMP-responsive element has also been detected (Montminy et al 1986).…”

“…In addition, tissue-specific promoter elements consisting of TAAT motifs that operate in concert with CRE to provide high-level constitutive activity are reiterated three times over a 500-nucleotide region (150). Many of the agents that influence SST secretion are also capable of altering SST gene expression ( (1,131,153,205). cAMP is a potent activator of both gene transcription and secretion of SST and has emerged as the most prominent signaling pathway for regulating SST function.…”
