Although mutations in intermediate filament proteins cause many human disorders, the detailed pathogenic mechanisms and the way these mutations affect cell metabolism are unclear. In this study, selected keratin mutations were analysed for their effect on the epidermal stress response. Expression profiles of two keratin-mutant cell lines from epidermolysis bullosa simplex patients (one severe and one mild) were compared to a control keratinocyte line before and after challenge with hypo-osmotic shock, a common physiological stress that transiently distorts cell shape. Fewer changes in gene expression were found in cells with the severely disruptive mutation (55 genes altered) than with the mild mutation (174 genes) or the wild type cells (261 genes) possibly due to stress response pre-activation in these cells. We identified 16 immediate-early genes contributing to a general cell response to hypo-osmotic shock, and 20 genes with an altered expression pattern in the mutant keratin lines only. A number of dual-specificity phosphatases (MKP-1, MKP-2, MKP-3, MKP-5 and hVH3) are differentially regulated in these cells, and their downstream targets p-ERK and p-p38 are significantly up-regulated in the mutant keratin lines. Our findings strengthen the case for the expression of mutant keratin proteins inducing physiological stress, and this intrinsic stress may affect the cell responses to secondary stresses in patients' skin. 相似文献

Functions and regulations of fibroblast growth factor signaling during embryonic development 总被引:15,自引:0,他引:15
Fibroblast growth factors (FGF) are secreted molecules which function through the activation of specific tyrosine kinases receptors, the FGF receptors that transduce the signal by activating different pathways including the Ras/MAP kinase and the phospholipase-C gamma pathways. FGFs are involved in the regulation of many developmental processes including patterning, morphogenesis, differentiation, cell proliferation or migration. Such a diverse set of activities requires a tight control of the transduction signal which is achieved through the induction of different feedback inhibitors such as the Sproutys, Sef and MAP kinase phosphatase 3 which are responsible for the attenuation of FGF signals, limiting FGF activities in time and space. 相似文献

The ability of heparin to block proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells has been well documented. It is clear that heparin treatment can decrease the level of ERK activity in vascular smooth muscle cells that are sensitive to heparin. In this study, the mechanism by which heparin induces decreases in ERK activity was investigated by evaluating the dual specificity phosphatase, MKP‐1, in heparin treated cells. Heparin induced MKP‐1 synthesis in a time and concentration dependent manner. The time‐course of MKP‐1 expression correlated with the decrease in ERK activity. Over the same time frame, heparin treatment did not result in decreases in MEK‐1 activity which could have, along with constitutive phosphatase activity, accounted for the decrease in ERK activity. Antibodies against a heparin receptor also induced the synthesis of MKP‐1 along with decreasing ERK activity. Blocking either phosphatase activity or synthesis also blocked heparin‐induced decreases in ERK activity. Consistent with a role for MKP‐1, a nuclear phosphatase, heparin treated cells exhibited decreases in nuclear ERK activity more rapidly than cells not treated with heparin. The data support MKP‐1 as a heparin‐induced phosphatase that dephosphorylates ERK, decreasing ERK activity, in vascular smooth muscle cells. J. Cell.
