BCL2 mRNA and protein levels increase in response to E2 stimulation in a PKA-dependent manner (Grimaldi et al, 2002; Yune et al, 2008). Levels of phosphorylated CREB1 also increase with estrogen stimulation, however direct binding of phosphorylated CREB to the BCL2 promoter has not been demonstrated. Estrogen-dependent BCL2 expression is also dependent on Sp1 (Dong et al, 1999; Yune et al, 2008; reviewed in Ladikou and Kassi, 2017).
