Objective-To determine the mechanism by which expression of the murine ABCA1 gene is highly induced by cAMP analogues. Methods and Results-ABCA1 mRNA turnover cannot account for its induction by cAMP. Thus cAMP induction of ABCA1 mRNA occurs at a transcriptional level. Shotgun cloning DNA fragments from the murine ABCA1 locus identified a strong cAMP responsive enhancer located in the first intron, which led to 25-to 100-fold cAMP-mediated induction of reporter gene activity. Deletions and mutations of this enhancer led to the identification a cAMP-responsive element (CRE) that was essential for the cAMP induction. Furthermore, the capacity of this CRE site to mediate the cAMP induction required the presence of a STAT3/4 element located 81 bp away. A dominant-negative CREB expression vector inhibited the cAMP induction of ABCA1, demonstrating that CREB was required for cAMP induction of ABCA1 expression in RAW264.7 cells. Conclusion-Phospho-CREB1 controls the cAMP-mediated induction of murine ABCA1 gene expression through a CRE site acting in cooperation with a nearby STAT element. This CRE site is not conserved in the human ABCA1 gene, explaining why human ABCA1 is not strongly stimulated by cAMP analogs.
