Studiesin vivohave suggested the involvement of CREB-regulated transcription coactivator (CRTC)2 on ACTH-induced transcription of the key steroidogenic protein, Steroidogenic Acute Regulatory (StAR). The present study uses two ACTH-responsive adrenocortical cell lines, to examine the role of CRTC onStartranscription. Here we show that ACTH-inducedStarprimary transcript, or heteronuclear RNA (hnRNA), parallels rapid increases in nuclear levels of the 3 isoforms of CRTC; CRTC1, CRTC2 and CRTC3. Furthermore, ACTH promotes recruitment of CRTC2 and CRTC3 by theStarpromoter and siRNA knockdown of either CRTC3 or CRTC2 attenuates the increases in ACTH-inducedStarhnRNA. Using pharmacological inhibitors of PKA, MAP kinase and calcineurin, we show that the effects of ACTH onStartranscription and CRTC nuclear translocation depend predominantly on the PKA pathway. The data provides evidence that CRTC2 and CRTC3, contribute to activation ofStartranscription by ACTH, and that PKA/CRTC-dependent pathways are part of the multifactorial mechanisms regulatingStartranscription.
