| Research Abstract |
The signal pathway of the light-induced gene expression in retinal cells was investigated. Flashing light induced c-fos and somatostatin in the cells of the inner border of the inner nuclear layr (INL) and the ganglion nuclear layr (GNL). As both c-fos and somatostatin genes have cAMP responsive element (CRE) in their promoters, CREB phosphorylation in retinal cells was examined with phospho-CREB specific antibody. One min exposure to flashing light induced maximum phosphorylation of CREB showing close correlation with c-fos and somatostatin mRNA expression in the same portion of the retina. Administration of L-type Ca^<2+> channel activator Bay K 8644 also induced CREB phosphorylation and c-fos and somatostatin expression in the rat retina. The distribution of calmodulin kinase II immunoreactive retina cells was in good accordance with the phospho-CREB immunoreactivity. Thus we propose that transcriptional response to light stimulation is regulated via CREB phosphorylation catalyzed by Ca^<2+>/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase in neural retina.
