Hydrogen peroxide activation of Ca(2+)-independent phospholipase A(2) in uterine stromal cells 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Birbes H Gothié E Pageaux JF Lagarde M Laugier C 《Biochemical and biophysical research communications》2000,276(2):613-618
In rat uterine stromal cells (U(III) cells), an oxidative stress induced by H(2)O(2) caused a dose-dependent release of arachidonic acid (AA) that was independent of intracellular Ca(2+) concentration and was not inhibited by Ca(2+)-dependent phospholipase A(2) (cPLA(2)) inhibitors, nor by protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitors or by PKC down-regulation. H(2)O(2) treatment did not impair AA esterification but significantly increased Ca(2+)-independent PLA(2) (iPLA(2)) activity. Since iPLA(2) specific inhibitor bromoenollactone almost completely suppressed the release of AA induced by H(2)O(2), we conclude that iPLA(2) activity represents the major mechanism by which H(2)O(2) increases the availability of non-esterified AA in U(III) cells. Moreover, PKC inhibitors sphingosine and calphostin C markedly potentiated the release of AA trigger by H(2)O(2), suggesting a regulatory mechanism of iPLA(2) by PKC that remains to be clarified. 相似文献

We investigated the possible involvement of group VI Ca2+-independent phospholipase A2 (iPLA2) in arachidonic acid (AA) liberation in zymosan-stimulated macrophage-like P388D1 cells. Zymosan-induced AA liberation was markedly inhibited by methyl arachidonoyl fluorophosphonate, a dual inhibitor of group IV cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) and iPLA2. We found that a relatively specific iPLA2 inhibitor, bromoenol lactone, significantly decreased the zymosan-induced AA liberation in parallel with the decrease in iPLA2 activity, without an effect on diacylglycerol formation. Consistent with this, attenuation of iPLA2 activity by a group VI iPLA2 antisense oligonucleotide resulted in a decrease in zymosan-induced prostaglandin D2 generation. These findings suggest that zymosan-induced AA liberation may be, at least in part, mediated by iPLA2. A protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor diminished zymosan-induced AA liberation, while a PKC activator, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), enhanced the liberation. Bromoenol lactone suppressed the PMA-enhanced AA liberation without any effect on PMA-induced PKC activation. Down-regulation of PKCalpha on prolonged exposure to PMA also decreased zymosan-induced AA liberation. Under these conditions, the remaining AA liberation was insensitive to bromoenol lactone. Furthermore, the PKC depletion suppressed increases in iPLA2 proteins and the activity in the membrane fraction of zymosan-stimulated cells. In contrast, the zymosan-induced increases in iPLA2 proteins and the activity in the fraction were facilitated by simultaneous addition of PMA. Although intracellular Ca2+ depletion prevented zymosan-induced AA liberation, the translocation of PKCalpha to membranes was also inhibited. Taken together, we propose that zymosan may stimulate iPLA2-mediated AA liberation, probably through a PKC-dependent mechanism. 相似文献

Role of Ca2+-independent phospholipase A2 on arachidonic acid release induced by reactive oxygen species 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Previous studies have shown that reactive oxygen species (ROS) enhance arachidonic acid (AA) release and the subsequent AA metabolism in macrophages. The purpose of this study was determined the implication of phospholipases A2 (PLA2s) in these events. Our results show that oxidative stress induced by exogenous adding of hydrogen peroxide or superoxide anion in macrophage RAW 264.7 and mouse peritoneal macrophage cultures caused a marked enhancement of calcium-independent PLA2 (iPLA2) activity,whereas the increment of secreted PLA2 (sPLA2) and calcium-dependent cytosolic PLA2 (cPLA2) activities were slight. This increase of iPLA2 activity by ROS was rapid and dose-dependent. ROS also induced a significant [3H] arachidonic acid (AA) release. The iPLA2 selective inhibitor, bromoenol lactone, almost completely suppressed the mobilization of [3H]AA induced by ROS whereas antisense oligonucleotide against cPLA2 did not have any appreciable effect. Thus, our data show that iPLA2 activity is involved in the mechanism by which ROS increases the availability of free AA in macrophages RAW 264.7. Moreover, the protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor, calphostin C, and calcium chelators had no effect on the [3H]AA release induced by ROS, suggesting this is a regulatory role of iPLA2. 相似文献

Interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) and interleukin-1 (IL-1) play an important role in the modulation of acute and chronic airway inflammation. Both IFN-gamma and IL-1 are known to increase the release of arachidonic acid (AA) from airway epithelial cells, suggesting that AA metabolites may mediate the cytokine-induced inflammation. This study was designed to examine the direct effect of IFN-gamma and IL-alpha on the phosphorylation of 85-kDa cytosolic phospholipase A(2) (cPLA(2)) and AA release in primary normal human bronchial epithelial (NHBE) cells. Treatment with IFN-gamma and IL-1alpha for 15 min induced a rapid increase of AA release from NHBE cells, which was blocked by the cPLA(2) inhibitor MAFP (p<0.05) but not by the sPLA(2) inhibitor LY311727 or iPLA(2) inhibitor HELSS. Immunoprecipitation and Western blot analysis showed that both IFN-gamma and IL-1alpha induced a rapid phosphorylation of cPLA(2). The IFN-gamma and IL-1alpha-induced cPLA(2) phosphorylation and AA release in the NHBE cells were inhibited by the p38 MAP kinase (MAPK) inhibitor SB203580, p42/44 MAPK inhibitor PD98059 and protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor bisindolylmaleimide I. These results demonstrate the involvement of p38 and p42/44 MAPKs as well as PKC in the IFN-gamma and IL-1alpha-induced cPLA(2) phosphorylation and AA release in human airway epithelial cells. 相似文献

Participation of protein kinase C alpha isoform and extracellular signal-regulated kinase in neurite outgrowth of GT1 hypothalamic neurons 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
In the present study, we investigated the selective role of protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms on neurite outgrowth of the GT1 hypothalamic neurons using several PKC isoform-selective inhibitors and transfection-based expression of enhanced green fluorescence protein (EGFP)-fused PKC isoforms. 12-O-Tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) induced neurite outgrowth and growth cone formation, effects that were blocked by GF 109203X (a PKC inhibitor), safingolTM(a PKCalpha-selective inhibitor), but not by rottlerinTM (a PKCdelta-selective inhibitor), indicating that PKCalpha may be selectively involved in neurite outgrowth and cytoskeletal changes of filamentous actin and beta-tubulin. To define the differential localization of PKC isoforms, EGFP-tagged PKCalpha, PKCgamma, and PKCdelta were transfected into GT1 neuronal cells. TPA treatment induced relocalization of PKCalpha-EGFP to growth cones and cell-cell adhesion sites, PKCgamma-EGFP to the nucleus, and PKCdelta-EGFP to the membrane ruffle, respectively. An EGFP chimera of the catalytic domain of PKCalpha (PKCalpha-Cat-EGFP), the expression of which was inducible by doxycycline, was employed to directly ascertain the effect of PKCalpha enzymatic activity on neurite outgrowth of GT1 cells. Transient transfection of PKCalpha-Cat-EGFP alone increased the neurite-outgrowth and doxycycline treatment further augmented the number of neurite-containing cells. We also examined the involvement of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) MAP kinase in TPA-induced neurite outgrowth. TPA treatment increased phosphorylated ERK MAP kinase, but not p38 MAP kinase. Specific inhibition of PKCalpha with safingol blocked the phosphorylation of ERK induced by TPA. More importantly, both neurite outgrowth and phosphorylation of ERK by TPA were blocked by PD 098059, a specific inhibitor of MEK (MAP kinase/ERK kinase-1), but not by SB203580, a specific inhibitor of p38 MAP kinase. These results demonstrate that PKCalpha isoform-specific activation is involved in neurite outgrowth of GT1 hypothalamic neuronal cells via ERK, but not the p38 MAP kinase signal pathway. 相似文献

We reported that protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitors increase the release of arachidonic acid induced by fluoroaluminate (AlF4-), an unspecific G-protein activator, in intact human platelets. Now we demonstrate that this effect is independent of the extracellular Ca2+ concentration and that AlF4(-)-induced release of AA is abolished by BAPTA, an intracellular Ca2+ chelator, even in the presence of GF 109203X, a specific and potent PKC inhibitor. This compound also blocks the liberation of the secretory phospholipase A2 in the extracellular medium, indicating that this enzyme is not involved in the potentiation of arachidonic acid by PKC inhibitors. On the other hand, the latter effect is completely abolished by treatment of platelets with AACOCF3, a specific inhibitor of cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2). These observations indicate that cPLA2 is responsible for the AlF4(-)-induced release of arachidonic acid by a mechanism that is down-regulated by PKC. 相似文献

Helicobacter pylori initiates an inflammatory response and gastric diseases, which are more common in patients infected with H. pylori strains carrying the pathogenicity island, by colonizing the gastric epithelium. In the present study we investigated the mechanism of prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) synthesis in response to H. pylori infection. We demonstrate that H. pylori induces the synthesis of PGE(2) via release of arachidonic acid predominately from phosphatidylinositol. In contrast to H. pylori wild type, an isogenic H. pylori strain with a mutation in the pathogenicity island exerts only weak arachidonic acid and PGE(2) synthesis. The H. pylori-induced arachidonic acid release was abolished by phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) inhibitors and by pertussis toxin (affects the activity of G alpha(i)/G alpha(o)). The role of phospholipase C, diacylglycerol lipase, or phospholipase D was excluded by using specific inhibitors. An inhibitor of the stress-activated p38 kinase (SB202190), but neither inhibitors of protein kinase C nor an inhibitor of the extracellular-regulated kinase pathway (PD98059), decreased the H. pylori-induced arachidonic acid release. H. pylori-induced phosphorylation of p38 kinase and cytosolic PLA(2) was blocked by SB202190. These results indicate that H. pylori induces the release of PGE(2) from epithelial cells by cytosolic PLA(2) activation via G alpha(i)/G alpha(o) proteins and the p38 kinase pathway. 相似文献

Signal pathways involved in the regulation of prostaglandin E synthase-1 in human gingival fibroblasts 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-1 (mPGES-1) is the terminal enzyme regulating the synthesis of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in inflammatory conditions. In this study we investigated the regulation of mPGES-1 in gingival fibroblasts stimulated with the inflammatory mediators interleukin-1 beta (IL-1beta) and tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha). The results showed that IL-1beta and TNFalpha induce the expression of mPGES-1 without inducing the expression of early growth response factor-1 (Egr-1). Treatment of the cells with the PLA2 inhibitor 4-bromophenacyl bromide (BPB) decreased the cytokine-induced mPGES-1 expression accompanied by decreased PGE2 production whereas the addition of arachidonic acid (AA) upregulated mPGES-1 expression and PGE2 production. The protein kinase C (PKC) activator PMA did not upregulate the expression of mPGES-1 in contrast to COX-2 expression and PGE2 production. In addition, inhibitors of PKC, tyrosine and p38 MAP kinase markedly decreased the cytokine-induced PGE2 production but not mPGES-1 expression. Moreover, the prostaglandin metabolites PGE2 and PGF2alpha induced mPGES-1 expression as well as upregulated the cytokine-induced mPGES-1 expression indicating positive feedback regulation of mPGES-1 by prostaglandin metabolites. The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPARgamma) ligand, 15-deoxy-Delta12,14-prostaglandin J2 (15d-PGJ2), decreased mPGES-1 expression but not COX-2 expression or PGE2 production. The results indicate that the inflammatory-induced mPGES-1 expression is regulated by PLA2 and 15d-PGJ2 but not by PKC, tyrosine kinase or p38 MAP kinase providing new insights into the regulation of mPGES-1. 相似文献

Adhesion of metastatic human mammary carcinoma MDA-MB-435 cells to the basement membrane protein collagen type IV can be activated by treatment with arachidonic acid. We initially observed that this arachidonic acid-mediated adhesion was inhibited by the tyrosine kinase inhibitor genistein. Therefore, we examined the role of the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase family tyrosine phosphorylation-regulated pathways in arachidonic acid-stimulated cell adhesion. Arachidonic acid stimulated the phosphorylation of p38, the activation of MAP kinase-activated protein kinase 2 (MAPKAPK2, a downstream substrate of p38), and the phosphorylation of heat shock protein 27 (a downstream substrate of MAP kinase-activated protein kinase 2). Treatment with the p38 inhibitor PD169316 completely and specifically inhibited arachidonic acid-mediated cell adhesion to collagen type IV. p38 activity was specifically associated with arachidonic acid-stimulated adhesion; this was demonstrated by the observation that 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate-activated cell adhesion was not blocked by inhibiting p38 activity. Extracellular signal-regulated protein kinases (ERKs) 1 and 2 were also activated by arachidonic acid; however, cell adhesion to collagen type IV was not highly sensitive to PD98059, an inhibitor of MAP kinase kinase/ERK kinase 1 (MEK1) that blocks activation of the ERKs. c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase was not activated by arachidonic acid treatment of these cells. Together, these data suggest a novel role for p38 MAP kinase in regulating adhesion of breast cancer cells to collagen type IV. 相似文献

A requirement for calcium-independent phospholipase A2 in thrombin-induced arachidonic acid release and growth in vascular smooth muscle cells 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Thrombin is a potent mitogen for vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC). To understand its mitogenic signaling events, we have studied the role of calcium-independent phospholipase A2 (iPLA2). Without affecting its levels, thrombin increased iPLA2 activity in a time-dependent manner in VSMC. Thrombin also induced arachidonic acid release and DNA synthesis by about 2-fold as compared with control. Down-regulation of iPLA2 activity by its specific inhibitor, bromoenol lactone, or its expression by antisense oligonucleotides, significantly reduced thrombin-induced arachidonic acid release and DNA synthesis in VSMC. To learn the mechanism of thrombin-stimulated iPLA2 activity, we next tested the role of p38 MAPK. Thrombin stimulated p38 MAPK phosphorylation and activity in a time-dependent manner in VSMC. Inhibition of p38 MAPK activity by SB203580 and SB202190 resulted in decreased iPLA2 activity, arachidonic acid release, and DNA synthesis induced by thrombin in VSMC. Together, these results for the first time demonstrate that iPLA2 plays a role in thrombin-induced arachidonic acid release and growth in VSMC and that these responses are mediated by p38 MAPK. 相似文献

Endothelin-1 induces vascular endothelial growth factor synthesis in osteoblasts: involvement of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
We previously reported that endothelin-1 (ET-1) stimulates p44/p42 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase and p38 MAP kinase in osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells. In the present study, we investigated the effect of ET-1 on the synthesis of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in these cells. ET-1 significantly stimulated VEGF secretion time-dependently 18 hours after the stimulation. The stimulatory effect was dose-dependent in the range between 0.1 nM and 0.1 micro;M. BQ123, an antagonist of endothelin(A) (ET(A)) receptor, inhibited the ET-1-induced VEGF secretion. The ET-1-induced VEGF secretion was suppressed by SB203580 and PD169316, inhibitors of p38 MAP kinase, but not PD98059, an inhibitor of the upstream kinase that activates p44/p42 MAP kinase. 12-O-Tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), a protein kinase C (PKC)-activating phorbol ester, stimulated VEGF secretion. Calphostin C, a specific PKC inhibitor, suppressed the VEGF secretion by ET-1. TPA-induced VEGF secretion was suppressed by SB203580. Taken together, our results strongly suggest that ET-1 stimulates VEGF synthesis via ET(A) receptor in osteoblasts and that p38 MAP kinase is involved at a point downstream from PKC in the VEGF synthesis. 相似文献

p42/p44 mitogen-activated protein kinase activation is involved in prostaglandin F2alpha-induced interleukin-6 synthesis in osteoblasts. 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Prostaglandin F2alpha (PGF2alpha) significantly induced p42/p44 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase activity in osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells. PD98059, a selective inhibitor of MAP kinase kinase, inhibited PGF2alpha-induced interleukin-6 (IL-6) synthesis as well as PGF2alpha-induced p42/p44 MAP kinase activation. PD98059 suppressed the IL-6 synthesis induced by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), a protein kinase C (PKC) activator, or NaF, an activator of heterotrimeric GTP-binding protein, as well as the p42/p44 MAP kinase activation by TPA or NaF. Calphostin C, a highly potent and specific inhibitor of PKC, inhibited the PGF2alpha-induced p42/p44 MAP kinase activity. These results strongly suggest that PKC-dependent p42/p44 MAP kinase activatioin is involved in PGF2alpha-induced IL-6 synthesis in osteoblasts. 相似文献

We investigated the mechanism of phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) activation in response to the P2 receptor agonist ATP in rat thyroid FRTL-5 cells. The PLA(2) activity was determined by measuring the release of [(3)H]-arachidonic acid (AA) from prelabeled cells. ATP evoked a dose- and time-dependent AA release. This release was totally inhibited by pertussis toxin (PTX) treatment, indicating the involvement of a G(i)/G(o) protein. The AA release was also diminished by chelating extracellular Ca(2+) with EGTA or by inhibiting influx of Ca(2+) using Ni(2+). Although the activation of protein kinase C (PKC) by 12-phorbol 13-myristate acetate (PMA) alone did not induce any AA release, the ATP-evoked AA release was significantly reduced when PKC was inhibited by GF109203X or by a long incubation with PMA to downregulate PKC. Both the ATP-evoked AA release and the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAP kinase) phosphorylation were decreased by the MAP kinase kinase (MEK) inhibitor PD98059. Furthermore, the ATP-evoked MAP kinase phosphorylation was also inhibited by GF109203X and by downregulation of PKC, suggesting a PKC-mediated activation of MAP kinase. Inhibiting Src-like kinases by PP1 attenuated both the MAP kinase phosphorylation and the AA release. These results suggest that these kinases are involved in the regulation of MAP kinase and PLA(2) activation. Elevation of intracellular cAMP by TSH or by dBucAMP did not induce a phosphorylation of MAP kinase. Furthermore, neither the ATP-evoked AA release nor the MAP kinase phosphorylation were attenuated by TSH or dBucAMP. Taken together, our results suggest that ATP regulates the activation of PLA(2) by a G(i)/G(o) protein-dependent mechanism. Moreover, Ca(2+), PKC, MAP kinase, and Src-like kinases are also involved in this regulatory process. 相似文献

We previously reported that prostaglandin F(2alpha) (PGF(2alpha)) activates both phosphoinositide-hydrolyzing phospholipase C and phosphatidylcholine-hydrolyzing phospholipase D in osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells and then induces the activation of protein kinase C (PKC). In this study, we investigated the effect of PGF(2alpha) on the induction of heat shock protein 27 (HSP27), a low-molecular-weight heat shock protein, in these cells. PGF(2alpha) significantly induced the accumulation of HSP27 dose-dependently within the range of 10 nM to 10 microM. PGF(2alpha) stimulated the increase in the levels of mRNA for HSP27. A total of 10 nM 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), an activator of PKC, induced the accumulation of HSP27. The stimulative effect of PGF(2alpha) was reduced in the PKC down-regulated cells. Calphostin C, a specific inhibitor of PKC, suppressed the PGF(2alpha)-induced HSP27 accumulation as well as that induced by TPA. HSP27 induction by PGF(2alpha) was reduced by U-73122, a phospholipase C inhibitor, or propranolol, a phosphatidic acid phosphohydrolase inhibitor. PGF(2alpha) and TPA stimulated p42/p44 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase. PD98059, an inhibitor of the upstream kinase that activates p42/p44 MAP kinase, suppressed the induction of HSP27 stimulated by PGF(2alpha) or TPA. PD98059 and calphostin C reduced the levels of mRNA for HSP27 increased by PGF(2alpha). These results indicate that PGF(2alpha) stimulates the induction of HSP27 via p42/p44 MAP kinase activation, which depends on upstream PKC activation in osteoblasts. 相似文献

We investigated whether GABA activates phospholipase A2 (PLA2) during acrosomal exocytosis, and if the MEK-ERK1/2 pathway modulates PLA2 activation initiated by GABA, progesterone or zona pellucida (ZP). In guinea pig spermatozoa prelabelled with [14C]arachidonic acid or [14C]choline chloride, GABA stimulated a decrease in phosphatidylcholine (PC), and release of arachidonic acid and lysoPC, during exocytosis. These lipid changes are indicative of PLA2 activation and appear essential for exocytosis since inclusion of aristolochic acid (a PLA2 inhibitor) abrogated them, along with exocytosis. GABA activation of PLA2 seems to be mediated, at least in part, by diacylglycerol (DAG) and protein kinase C since inclusion of the DAG kinase inhibitor R59022 enhanced PLA2 activity and exocytosis stimulated by GABA, whereas exposure to staurosporine decreased both. GABA-, progesterone- and ZP-induced release of arachidonic acid and exocytosis were prevented by U0126 and PD98059 (MEK inhibitors). Taken together, our results suggest that PLA2 plays a fundamental role in agonist-stimulated exocytosis and that MEK-ERK1/2 are involved in PLA2 regulation during this process. 相似文献

Repeated intermittent treatment with amphetamine (AMPH) induces both neurite outgrowth and enhanced AMPH-stimulated dopamine (DA) release in PC12 cells. We investigated the role of protein kinases in the induction of these AMPH-mediated events by using inhibitors of protein kinase C (PKC), mitogen activated protein kinase (MAP kinase) or protein kinase A (PKA). PKC inhibitors chelerythrine (100 nm and 300 nm), Ro31-8220 (300 nm) and the MAP kinase kinase inhibitor, PD98059 (30 micro m) inhibited the ability of AMPH to elicit both neurite outgrowth and the enhanced AMPH-stimulated DA release. The direct-acting PKC activator, 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol 13-acetate (TPA, 250 nm) mimicked the ability of AMPH to elicit neurite outgrowth and enhanced DA release. On the contrary, a selective PKA inhibitor, 100 micro m Rp-8-Br-cAMPS, blocked only the development of AMPH-stimulated DA release but not the neurite outgrowth. Treatment of the cells with acute AMPH elicited an increase in the activity of PKC and MAP kinase but not PKA. These results demonstrated that AMPH-induced increases in MAP kinase and PKC are important for induction of both the enhancement in transporter-mediated DA release and neurite outgrowth but PKA was only required for the enhancement in AMPH-stimulated DA release. Therefore the mechanisms by which AMPH induces neurite outgrowth and the enhancement in AMPH-stimulated DA release can be differentiated. 相似文献

We found previously that stimulation of c-fos and c-myc mRNA expression are early events in hydrogen peroxide-induced growth in rat aortic smooth muscle (RASM) cells. In the present study, we investigated the role of phospholipase A2 (PLA2) and protein kinase C (PKC) in mediating hydrogen peroxide-induced c-fos mRNA expression in RASM cells. Mepacrine and p-bromophenacylbromide, potent inhibitors of PLA2 activity, blocked hydrogen peroxide-induced c-fos mRNA expression. Arachidonic acid, a product of PLA2 activity, stimulated the expression of c-fos mRNA with a time course similar to that of hydrogen peroxide. PKC down-regulation attenuated both hydrogen peroxide and arachidonic acid-induced c-fos mRNA expression by 50%. Nordihydroguaiaretic acid (a lipoxygenase-cytochrome P450 monooxygenase inhibitor) significantly inhibited both hydrogen peroxide and arachidonic acid-induced c-fos mRNA expression, whereas indomethacin (a cyclooxygenase inhibitor) had no effect. Together, these findings indicate that 1) hydrogen peroxide-induced c-fos mRNA expression is mediated by PLA2-dependent arachidonic acid release, 2) both PKC-dependent and independent mechanisms are involved in hydrogen peroxide-induced expression of c-fos mRNA and 3) arachidonic acid metabolism via the lipoxygenase-cytochrome P450 monooxygenase pathway appears to be required for hydrogen peroxide-induced expression of c-fos mRNA. 相似文献

We previously showed that prostaglandin D(2) (PGD(2)) stimulates activation of protein kinase C (PKC). We investigated whether PGD(2) stimulates the induction of heat shock protein (HSP) 27 and HSP70 in osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells and the mechanism underlying the induction. PGD(2) increased the levels of HSP27 while having little effect on HSP70 levels. PGD(2) stimulated the accumulation of HSP27 dose dependently in the range between 10 nM and 10 microM. PGD(2) induced an increase in the levels of mRNA for HSP27. The PGD(2)-stimulated accumulation of HSP27 was reduced by staurosporine or calphostin C, inhibitors of PKC. PGD(2) induced the phosphorylation of p44/p42 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase and p38 MAP kinase. The HSP27 accumulation induced by PGD(2) was significantly suppressed by PD98059, an inhibitor of the upstream kinase of p44/p42 MAP kinase, or SB203580, an inhibitor of p38 MAP kinase. Calphostin C suppressed the PGD(2)-induced phosphorylation of p44/p42 MAP kinase and p38 MAP kinase. PD98059 or SB203580 suppressed the PGD(2)-increased levels of mRNA for HSP27. These results strongly suggest that PGD(2) stimulates HSP27 induction through p44/p42 MAP kinase activation and p38 MAP kinase activation in osteoblasts and that PKC acts at a point upstream from both the MAP kinases. 相似文献

In the present paper, the effect of sphingosine 1-phosphate (Sph-1-P) on arachidonic acid mobilization in A549 human lung adenocarcinoma cells was investigated. Sph-1-P provoked a rapid and relevant release of arachidonic acid which was similar to that elicited by bradykinin, well-known pro-inflammatory agonist. The Sph-1-P-induced release of arachidonic acid involved Ca(2+)-independent phospholipase A(2) (iPLA2) activity, as suggested by the dose-dependent inhibition exerted by the rather specific inhibitor bromoenol lactone. The Sph-1-P-induced release of arachidonic acid was pertussis toxin-sensitive, pointing at a receptor-mediated mechanism, which involves heterotrimeric Gi proteins. The action of Sph-1-P was totally dependent on protein kinase C (PKC) catalytic activity and seemed to involve agonist-stimulated phospholipase D (PLD) activity. This study represents the first evidence for Sph-1-P-induced release of arachidonic acid which occurs through a specific signaling pathway involving Gi protein-coupled receptor(s), PKC, PLD and iPLA2 activities. 相似文献
