The extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and Akt have been reported to be activated by ischemia/reperfusion in vivo. However, the signaling pathways involved in activation of these kinases and their potential roles were not fully understood in the postischemic kidney. In the present study, we observed that these kinases are activated by hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R), an in vitro model of ischemia/reperfusion, in opossum kidney (OK) cells and elucidated the signaling pathways of these kinases. ERK and Akt were transiently activated during the early phase of reoxygenation following 4-12h of hypoxia. The ERK activation was inhibited by U0126, a specific inhibitor of ERK upstream MAPK/ERK kinase (MEK), but not by LY294002, a specific inhibitor of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), whereas Akt activation was blocked by LY294002, but not by U0126. Inhibitors of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) (AG 1478), Ras and Raf, as well as antioxidants inhibited activation of ERK and Akt, while the Src inhibitor PP2 had no effect. PI3K/Akt activation was shown to be associated with up-regulation of X chromosome-linked inhibitor of apoptosis (XIAP), but not survivin. Reoxygenation following 4-h hypoxia-stimulated cell proliferation, which was dependent on ERK and Akt activation and was also inhibited by antioxidants and AG 1478. Taken together, these results suggest that H/R induces activation of MEK/ERK and PI3K/Akt/XIAP survival signaling pathways through the reactive oxygen species-dependent EGFR/Ras/Raf cascade. Activation of these kinases may be involved in the repair process during ischemia/reperfusion. 相似文献

Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and its downstream signaling targets are implicated in the process of apoptosis induced by external stimuli, in several mammalian systems. In this report, we demonstrate, that medfly (Ceratitis capitata) hemocytes do undergo apoptosis during larval development. In particular, we show using Western blot, ELISA and flow cytometry analysis, that FAK expression silencing in transfected by FAK double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) hemocytes, enhances twofold hemocyte apoptosis, by signaling through Src, MEK/ERK, and PI-3K/Akt signaling pathways. FAK expression silencing, in response to FAK dsRNA treatment, blocks partially the phosphorylation of its downstream targets. Pre-incubation of hemocytes, with specific inhibitors of FAK downstream signaling molecules, demonstrated that all these inhibitors reduced hemocyte viability and enhanced the magnitude of apoptosis about threefold. This data suggest that these pathways contribute to hemocyte survival and/or death during development. The expression and phosphorylation of FAK, Src, PI-3K p85a, Akt, and ERK signaling molecules appear to be dependent upon developmental stages. The expression and phosphorylation of the above signaling molecules, in annexin-positive and annexin-negative hemocytes is also distinct. The maximum expression and phosphorylation of FAK, Src, PI-3K p85a, Akt, and ERK appeared in annexin-positive hemocytes, in both early and late apoptotic hemocytes. The novel aspect of this report is based on the fact that hemocytes attempt to suppress apoptosis, by increasing the expression/phosphorylation of FAK and, hence its downstream targets signaling molecules Src, ERK, PI-3K p85a, and Akt. Evidently, the basic survival pathways among insects and mammals appear to remain unchanged, during evolution. 相似文献
