Abstract
- We have shown that 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3) down-regulates renin expression. To explore the molecular mechanism, we analyzed the mouse Ren-1c gene promoter by luciferase reporter assays. Deletion analysis revealed two DNA fragments from -2725 to -2647 (distal fragment) and from -117 to +6 (proximal fragment) that are sufficient to mediate the repression. Mutation of the cAMP response element (CRE) in the distal fragment blunted forskolin stimulation as well as 1,25(OH)2D3 inhibition of the transcriptional activity, suggesting the involvement of CRE in 1,25(OH)2D3-induced suppression. EMSA revealed that 1,25(OH)2D3 markedly inhibited nuclear protein binding to the CRE in the promoter. ChIP and GST pull-down assays demonstrated that liganded VDR blocked the binding of CREB to the CRE by directly interacting with CREB with the ligand-binding domain, and the VDR-mediated repression can be rescued by CREB, CBP, or p300 overexpression. These data indicate that 1,25(OH)2D3 suppresses renin gene expression at least in part by blocking the formation of CRE-CREB-CBP complex. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
