The cAMP pathway activates p38-MAPKs in the FRTL-5 rat thyroid cell line, contributing to the increased expression of the Na+/I- symporter (NIS) mRNA. This study investigates the cAMP-dependent expression and transcriptional activity of the p38-MAPK substrate CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein-homologous protein (CHOP). CHOP is expressed in the rat thyroid gland and in confluent PCCL3 and FRTL-5 cells. In FRTL-5 cells, TSH withdrawal induced a rapid down-regulation of CHOP that could be prevented by forskolin (Fk). Moreover, TSH and Fk were able to reinduce CHOP expression. The use of pharmacological inhibitors indicated that cAMP-induced CHOP expression was dependent on protein kinase A (PKA), mammalian target of rapamycin pathway, and reactive oxygen species. Transfection of a CHOP trans- reporting system revealed strong stimulation of the transcriptional activity of CHOP by Fk, by chlorophenylthio-cAMP, and by the catalytic subunit of PKA. CHOP transcriptional activity was significantly reduced by the p38-MAPK inhibitor SB203580, by transfection of a dominant-negative variant of p38alpha-MAPK, or by mutation of two serine residues in CHOP targeted by p38-MAPKs. Finally, cAMP-induced NIS mRNA expression was higher in FRTL-5 cells stably transfected with CHOP cDNA than in control cells. Likewise, the activity of the NIS promoter was higher in cells overexpressing CHOP than in control cells. These findings suggest that the stimulation of CHOP expression and transcriptional activity by the cAMP pathway may contribute to the regulation of genes involved in thyroid cell differentiation.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.
