The mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) acts as a ligand-dependent transcription factor modulating specific gene expression in sodium-transporting epithelia. Physiological evidence suggest a cross-talk between the cAMP- and aldosterone-signaling pathways. We provide evidence that protein kinase A (PKA), a major mediator of signal transduction pathways, modulates transcriptional activity of the human MR (hMR). Using transient transfection assays in HepG2 cells, we show that 8-bromo-cAMP, a protein kinase A activator, stimulates glucocorticoid response element (GRE)-containing promoters in a ligand-independent manner. This effect was strictly MR dependent since no activation of the reporter gene was observed in the absence of cotransfected hMR expression plasmid. Furthermore, a synergistic activation was achieved when cells were treated with both aldosterone and cAMP. This synergistic effect was also observed in the CV1 and the stable hMR-expressing M cells but was dependent on the promoter used. In particular, synergism was less pronounced in promoters containing several GREs. We show that (protein kinase-inhibiting peptide (PKI), the peptide inhibitor of PKA, prevented both cAMP and aldosterone induction, which indicates that a functional cAMP pathway is required for stimulation of transcription by aldosterone. Using MR-enriched baculovirus extracts in gel shift assays, we have shown that the binding of the MR to a GRE-containing oligonucleotide was enhanced by PKA. Increased DNA binding of hMR is likely to reflect an increase in the number of active receptors, as measured by Scatchard analysis. Using a truncated MR, we show that the N-terminal domain is required for the effect. Finally, the N-terminal truncated MR was not directly phosphorylated by PKA in vitro. We conclude that PKA acts indirectly, probably by relieving the effect of an MR repressor.
