We recently reported a diurnal and norepinephrine (NE) -induced expression of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) phosphatase-1 (MKP-1) in the rat pineal gland and postulated that this MKP-1 expression might impact adrenergic-regulated arylalkylamine- N -acetyltransferase (AA-NAT) activity via modulation of MAPKs. In this study, we investigated the effect of depletion of MKP-1 expression by using doxorubicin, a topoisomerase inhibitor that suppresses the expression of MKP-1 in other cell types and small interfering RNA targeted against Mkp1 in NE-stimulated pinealocytes. We found that both treatments were effective in inhibiting NE induction of MKP-1 expression. Moreover, both treatments also resulted in a prolonged activation of p42/44MAPK and an increase in AA-NAT induction by NE. In contrast, treatment of pinealocytes with PD98059, an inhibitor of MAPK kinase, reduced NE-stimulated AA-NAT activity. Interestingly, suppressing MKP-1 expression had no effect on the time profile of NE-stimulated p38MAPK activation. These results indicate that MKP-1 modulates the profile of AA-NAT activity by selectively shaping the activation profile of p42/44MAPK but not that of p38MAPK. 相似文献
