Role of cyclic AMP-dependent kinase response element-binding protein in recombinant adeno-associated virus-mediated transduction of heart muscle cells.

Recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) vectors represent a promising approach to gene delivery for clinical use. Published data indicate that rAAV vector genomes persist in vivo as episomal chromatin in the skeletal muscle of nonhuman primates. In this study, we assessed the interconnection between the transcription factor cyclic AMP response element-binding protein (CREB) and recombinant AAV serotype 2 vector genomes after transduction in vitro and in vivo. rAAV-mediated myocyte transduction was potently blocked in the hearts of mice expressing CREB-S133A, which is a CREB-S133A dominant-negative mutant. Isoproterenol, a strong CREB activator, prominently increased rAAV transduction and the increase was abrogated by silencing the CREB gene with small interfering RNA. In addition, rAAV infection of muscle cells mildly but significantly induced CREB protein phosphorylation at serine-133, and was capable of stimulating CREB-dependent transcription from a reporter plasmid. Using chromatin immunoprecipitation and immunoblotting assays, both CREB and p300 were found to physically associate with two different rAAV genomes. Accordingly, CREB/p300 appears to have a role in rAAV transduction to establish active vector transcription in heart muscle cells.
