The cAMP response element binding protein ( CREB) is a ubiquitously expressed nuclear transcription factor that is activated by various extracellular stimuli. CREB is known to regulate the expression of genes important to cell proliferation, differentiation, adaptation, and survival in many cell types. Loss of CREB function by transgenic overexpression of dominant negative CREB or targeted deletion of the CREB gene revealed that CREB is involved in the differentiation of T lymphocytes, production of growth hormone, and the long-term potentiation of neuronal memory. The role of CREB in cardiovascular system is incompletely characterized and several controversies remain. A growing body of recent evidence, however, has suggested that CREB plays an important role in the cardiovascular remodeling process, including inflammation, cell migration, and apoptosis. Thus, CREB may be a possible target for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis, restenosis, and reperfusion injury.
