The activation of phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase and Akt/protein kinase B (PKB) by tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha and their roles on stimulation of protein synthesis were investigated in cultured neonatal rat cardiac myocytes. Treatment of cells with TNF-alpha resulted in enlargement of cell surface area and stimulation of protein synthesis without affecting myocyte viability. TNF-alpha induced marked activation of PI3-kinase and Akt/PKB, and the activation of PI3-kinase and Akt/PKB was rapid (maximal at 10 and 15 min, respectively) and concentration dependent. Akt/PKB activation by TNF-alpha was inhibited by a PI3-kinase-specific inhibitor LY-294002 and adenovirus-mediated expression of a dominant negative mutant of PI3-kinase, indicating that TNF-alpha activates Akt/PKB through PI3-kinase activation. Furthermore, TNF-alpha-induced protein synthesis was inhibited by pretreatment with LY-294002 and expression of a dominant negative mutant of PI3-kinase or Akt/PKB. These results indicate that activation of the PI3-kinase-Akt/PKB pathway plays an essential role in protein synthesis induced by TNF-alpha in cardiac myocytes. 相似文献

Zinc pyrithione salvages reperfusion injury by inhibiting NADPH oxidase activation in cardiomyocytes
Kasi V Bodiga S Kommuguri UN Sankuru S Bodiga VL 《Biochemical and biophysical research communications》2011,(2):270-275
Zinc pyrithione (ZPT), has a strong anti-apoptotic effect when administered just before reperfusion. Because oxidative stress has been proposed to contribute to myocardial reperfusion injury, we tested whether ZPT can reduce the production of reactive oxygen species during reoxygenation in cultured neonatal rat cardiac myocytes and evaluated the role of NADPH oxidase in hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) injury. The cells were subjected to 8 h of simulated ischemia, followed by either 30 min or 16 h of reoxygenation. ZPT when started just before reoxygenation significantly reduced superoxide generation, LDH release and improved cell survival compared to H/R. Attenuation of the ROS production by ZPT paralleled its capacity to prevent pyknotic nuclei formation. In addition, ZPT reversed the H/R-induced expression of NOX2 and p47phox phosphorylation indicating that ZPT directly protects cardiomyocytes from reperfusion injury by a mechanism that attenuates NADPH oxidase mediated intracellular oxidative stress. 相似文献

The ErbB2/ErbB3 heregulin co-receptor has been shown to couple to phosphoinositide (PI) 3-kinase in a heregulin-dependent manner. The recruitment and activation of PI 3-kinase by this co-receptor is presumed to occur via its interaction with phosphorylated Tyr-Xaa-Xaa-Met (YXXM) motifs occurring in the ErbB3 C terminus. In this study, mutant ErbB3 receptor proteins expressed in COS7 cells were used to investigate PI 3-kinase-dependent signaling pathways activated by the ErbB2/ErbB3 co-receptor. We observed that a mutant ErbB3 protein with each of its six YXXM motifs containing a Tyr --> Phe substitution was unable to bind either the p85 regulatory or p110 catalytic subunit of PI 3-kinase. However, restoration of a single YXXM motif was sufficient to mediate association with the PI 3-kinase holoenzyme, although at a lower level than wild-type ErbB3. When ErbB3 YXXM motifs were restored in pairs, evidence for cooperativity between two, those incorporating Tyr-1273 and Tyr-1286, was observed. Interestingly, we have shown that an apparent association of PI 3-kinase activity with ErbB2/Neu was due to the residual presence of ErbB3 in ErbB2 immunoprecipitates. The necessity of ErbB3 association with PI 3-kinase for downstream signaling to the effector kinase Akt was also investigated. Here, the heregulin-dependent translocation of Akt to the plasma membrane and its subsequent activation was observed in intact NIH-3T3 fibroblasts. Recruitment of PI 3-kinase to ErbB3 was required for both activities, and it appeared that ErbB2 activation alone was not sufficient to activate PI 3-kinase signaling in these cells. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to determine whether exogenous zinc prevents cardiac reperfusion injury by targeting the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) via glycogen synthase kinase-3beta (GSK-3beta). The treatment of cardiac H9c2 cells with ZnCl2 (10 microM) in the presence of zinc ionophore pyrithione for 20 min significantly enhanced GSK-3beta phosphorylation at Ser9, indicating that exogenous zinc can inactivate GSK-3beta in H9c2 cells. The effect of zinc on GSK-3beta activity was blocked by the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor LY-294002 but not by the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitor rapamycin or the PKC inhibitor chelerythrine, implying that PI3K but not mTOR or PKC accounts for the action of zinc. In support of this interpretation, zinc induced a significant increase in Akt but not mTOR phosphorylation. Further experiments found that zinc also increased mitochondrial GSK-3beta phosphorylation. This may indicate an involvement of the mitochondria in the action of zinc. The effect of zinc on mitochondrial GSK-3beta phosphorylation was not altered by the mitochondrial ATP-sensitive K+ channel blocker 5-hydroxydecanoic acid. Zinc applied at reperfusion reduced cell death in cells subjected to simulated ischemia/reperfusion, indicating that zinc can prevent reperfusion injury. However, zinc was not able to exert protection in cells transfected with the constitutively active GSK-3beta (GSK-3beta-S9A-HA) mutant, suggesting that zinc prevents reperfusion injury by inactivating GSK-3beta. Cells transfected with the catalytically inactive GSK-3beta (GSK-3beta-KM-HA) also revealed a significant decrease in cell death, strongly supporting the essential role of GSK-3beta inactivation in cardioprotection. Moreover, zinc prevented oxidant-induced mPTP opening through the inhibition of GSK-3beta. Taken together, these data suggest that zinc prevents reperfusion injury by modulating the mPTP opening through the inactivation of GSK-3beta. The PI3K/Akt signaling pathway is responsible for the inactivation of GSK-3beta by zinc. 相似文献

Previously, we have demonstrated that the two mitogenic growth factors epidermal growth factor and IGF-I can activate Akt and estrogen receptor-alpha (ERalpha) in the hormone-dependent breast cancer cell line, MCF-7. In this report we now show that estradiol can also rapidly activate phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-K)/Akt and that this effect is mediated by the ErbB2 signaling pathway. Treatment of cells with estradiol resulted in phosphorylation of Akt and a 9-fold increase in Akt activity in 10 min. Akt activation was blocked by wortmannin and LY 294,002, two inhibitors of PI 3-K; by genistein, a protein tyrosine kinase inhibitor and an ER agonist; by AG825, a selective ErbB2 inhibitor; and by the antiestrogens ICI 182,780 and 4-hydroxy-tamoxifen; but not by rapamycin, an inhibitor of the ribosomal protein kinase p70S6K; nor by AG30, a selective epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitor. Akt activation by estradiol was abrogated by an arginine-to-cysteine mutation in the pleckstrin homology domain of Akt (R25C). Growth factors also activated Akt in the ER-negative variant of MCF-7, MCF-7/ADR, but estradiol did not induce Akt activity in these cells. Transient transfection of ERalpha into these cells restored Akt activation by estradiol, suggesting that estradiol activation of Akt requires the ERalpha. Estradiol did not activate Akt in MCF-7 cells stably transfected with an anti-ErbB2-targeted ribozyme, further confirming a role for ErbB2. In vitro kinase assays using immunoprecipitation and anti-Akt1, -Akt2, and -Akt3-specific antibodies demonstrated that Akt1 is activated by estradiol in MCF-7 cells whereas Akt3 is the activated isoform in ER-negative MDA-MB231 cells, implying that selective activation of Akt subtypes plays a role in the actions of estradiol. Taken together, our data suggest that estradiol, bound to membrane ERalpha, interacts with and activates an ErbB dimer containing ErbB2, inducing activation of PI 3-K/Akt. 相似文献

Cerebral ischemia increases neural progenitor cell proliferation and neurogenesis. However, the precise molecular mechanism
is poorly understood. The present study was undertaken to determine roles of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and
phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt and their signaling pathways in neural progenitor cells exposed to hypoxia/reoxygenation
(H/R), an in vitro model of ischemia/reperfusion. Neural progenitor cells were isolated from postnatal mouse brain. ERK and
Akt were transiently activated during the early phase of reoxygenation following 4-h of hypoxia. The ERK activation was inhibited
by U0126, a specific inhibitor of MEK, but not by LY294002, a specific inhibitor of PI3K, whereas the Akt activation was blocked
by LY294002, but not by U0126. Reoxygenation following 4-h hypoxia stimulated cell proliferation, which was dependent on ERK
and Akt activation. Inhibitors of growth factor receptor (AG1478) and Src (PP2) and the antioxidant N-acetylcysteine did not affect activation of ERK and Akt, while the Ras and Raf inhibitors inhibited activation of ERK, but
not Akt. PKC inhibitors inhibited both ERK and Akt activation. Taken together, these results suggest that H/R induces activation
of MEK/ERK and PI3K/Akt survival signaling pathways through a PKC-dependent mechanism. These pathways may be responsible for
the repair process during ischemia/reperfusion. 相似文献

Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) reduce infarction of the myocardium after ischemia-reperfusion injury to rodent and dog hearts mainly by opening sarcolemmal and mitochondrial potassium channels. Other mediators for the action of EET have been proposed, although no definitive pathway or mechanism has yet been reported. Using cultured cells from two rodent species, immortalized myocytes from a mouse atrial lineage (HL-1) and primary myocytes derived from neonatal rat hearts, we observed that pretreatment with EETs (1 microM of 14,15-, 11,12-, or 8,9-EET) attenuated apoptosis after exposure to hypoxia and reoxygenation (H/R). EETs also preserved the functional beating of neonatal myocytes in culture after exposure to H/R. We demonstrated that EETs increased the activity of the prosurvival enzyme phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K). In fact, cardiomyocytes pretreated with EET and exposed to H/R exhibited antiapoptotic changes in at least five downstream effectors of PI3K, protein kinase B (Akt), Bcl-x(L)/Bcl-2-associated death promoter, caspases-9 and -3 activities, and the expression of the X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis, compared with vehicle-treated controls. The PI3K/Akt pathway is one of the strongest intracellular prosurvival signaling systems. Our studies show that EETs regulate multiple molecular effectors of this pathway. Understanding the targets of action of EET-mediated protection will promote the development of these fatty acids as therapeutic agents against cardiac ischemia-reperfusion. 相似文献

In liver resection and transplantation ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is one of the main causes of organ dys- or nonfunction. The aim of the present study was to determine whether alpha-lipoic acid (LA) is able to attenuate IRI. Rat livers were perfused with Krebs-Henseleit buffer with or without LA (+/-wortmannin), followed by ischemia (1 h, 37 degrees C) and reperfusion (90 min). Efflux of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) and hepatic ATP content were determined enzymatically. Activation of NF-kappaB and activating protein 1 (AP-1) was examined by EMSA, and protein phosphorylation was examined by Western blot. Caspase-3-like activity served as an indicator for apoptotic processes. Animals treated intravenously with 500 micromol LA were subjected to 90 min of partial no-flow ischemia followed by reperfusion for up to 7 days. Preconditioning with LA significantly reduced LDH and PNP efflux during reperfusion in isolated perfused rat livers. ATP content was significantly increased in LA-treated livers. Postischemic activation of NF-kappaB and AP-1 was significantly reduced in LA-pretreated organs. Preconditioning with LA significantly enhanced Akt phosphorylation. It showed neither effect on endothelial nitric oxide synthase nor on Bad phosphorylation. Importantly, simultaneous administration of wortmannin, an inhibitor of the phosphatidylinositol (PI)3-kinase/Akt pathway, blocked the protective effect of LA on IRI, demonstrating a causal relationship between Akt activation and hepatoprotection by LA. Interestingly, despite activation of Akt, LA did not reduce postischemic apoptotic cell death. The efficacy of LA treatment in vivo was shown by reduced GST plasma levels and improved liver histology of animals pretreated with LA. This study shows for the first time that the PI3-kinase/Akt pathway plays a central protective role in IRI of the rat liver and that LA administration attenuates IRI via this pathway. 相似文献

CT-1 mediated cardioprotection against ischaemic re-oxygenation injury is mediated by PI3 kinase, Akt and MEK1/2 pathways. 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Cardiotrophin-1 protects cardiac myocytes from ischaemic re-oxygenation (IR) injury. CT-1 activates MEK1/2,p42/44MAPK as well as the phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-OH kinase (PI3) protein kinase B (PKB/Akt) pathway. In this study we investigate the signalling pathways that mediate the anti-apoptotic cell survival effect of CT-1 in IR. Dominant negative gene based inhibitors of MEK1/2, PI3-kinase and Akt inhibited CT-1 mediated cardioprotection in re-oxygenation as did chemical inhibitors of the PI3-kinase pathway. Hence the PI3-kinase/Akt pathway is required in addition to MEK1/2 to mediate CT-1 cardioprotection in IR. 相似文献

We previously reported that hypoxia followed by reoxygenation (hypoxia/reoxygenation) rapidly activated intracellular signaling such as mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) including extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (ERK) 1/2, p38MAPK, and stress-activated protein kinases (SAPKs). To investigate the humoral factors which mediate cardiac response to hypoxia/reoxygenation, we analyzed the conditioned media from cardiac myocytes subjected to hypoxia/reoxygenation by two-dimensional electrophoresis and mass spectrometry. We identified cyclophilin A (CyPA) as one of the proteins secreted from cardiac myocytes in response to hypoxia/reoxygenation. Hypoxia/reoxygenation induced the expression of CyPA and its cell surface receptor CD147 on cardiac myocytes in vitro. This was also confirmed by ischemia/reperfusion in vivo. Recombinant human (rh) CyPA activated ERK1/2, p38MAPK, SAPKs, and Akt in cultured cardiac myocytes. Furthermore, CyPA significantly increased Bcl-2 in cardiac myocytes. These data strongly suggested that CyPA is released from cardiac myocytes in response to hypoxia/reoxygenation and may protect cardiac myocytes from oxidative stress-induced apoptosis. 相似文献

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by the deposition of beta-amyloid protein (Aβ) and extensive neuronal cell death. Apoptosis plays a crucial role in loss of neurons in AD. Neuregulin1 (NRG1) has been found to protect neurons from oxygen glucose deprivation induced apoptosis and hypoxia ischemia induced apoptosis. However, the relationship between NRG1 and apoptosis related protein expression in AD and its mechanism remain uncertain. The present study explores the effects of NRG1 on Aβ-induced apoptosis in AD. In this study, extracellular domain of NRG1beta1 (NRG1β1-ECD) promoted the expression of p-ErbB4 receptor, p-Akt and increased the level of Bcl-2 both in APP/PS1 transgenic mice and in vitro. In primary culture of neurons, the level of Bcl-2 protein decreased significantly after Aβ treatment. These changes were inhibited by pretreatment of neurons with NRG1β1-ECD. A specific inhibitor of PI3-kinase/Akt pathway, wortmannin, significantly abrogated the effects of NRG1β1-ECD on p-Akt and Bcl-2 levels. Furthermore, the expression of PI3-kinase/Akt by NRG1β1-ECD was ErbB4-dependent. Our data demonstrated that NRG1β1-ECD might serve as an obvious neuroprotection in AD, and the possible protective mechanism occurs most likely via ErbB4-dependent activation of PI3-kinase/Akt pathway. 相似文献

Activation of cytoskeleton regulator Rho-kinase during ischemia–reperfusion (I/R) plays a major role in I/R injury and apoptosis.
Since Rho-kinase is a negative regulator of the pro-survival phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-kinase)/Akt pathway, we hypothesized
that inhibition of Rho-kinase can prevent I/R-induced endothelial cell apoptosis by maintaining PI3-kinase/Akt activity and
that protective effects of Rho-kinase inhibition are facilitated by prevention of F-actin rearrangement. Human umbilical vein
endothelial cells were subjected to 1 h of simulated ischemia and 1 or 24 h of simulated reperfusion after treatment with
Rho-kinase inhibitor Y-27632, PI3-kinase inhibitor wortmannin, F-actin depolymerizers cytochalasinD and latrunculinA and F-actin
stabilizer jasplakinolide. Intracellular ATP levels decreased following I/R. Y-27632 treatment reduced I/R-induced apoptosis
by 31% (P < 0.01) and maintained Akt activity. Both effects were blocked by co-treatment with wortmannin. Y-27632 treatment prevented
the formation of F-actin bundles during I/R. Similar results were observed with cytochalasinD treatment. In contrast, latrunculinA
and jasplakinolide treatment did not prevent the formation of F-actin bundles during I/R and had no effect on I/R-induced
apoptosis. Apoptosis and Akt activity were inversely correlated (R
2 = 0.68, P < 0.05). In conclusion, prevention of F-actin rearrangement by Rho-kinase inhibition or by cytochalasinD treatment attenuated
I/R-induced endothelial cell apoptosis by maintaining PI3-kinase and Akt activity. 相似文献

Oxidative stress plays a critical role in cardiac injuries during ischemia/reperfusion. Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) promotes cell survival in a number of cell types, but the effect of IGF-1 on the oxidative stress has not been elucidated in cardiac muscle cells. Therefore, we examined the role of IGF-1 signaling pathway in cell survival against H2O2-induced apoptosis in H9c2 cardiac myoblasts. H2O2 treatment induced apoptosis in H9c2 cells, and pretreatment of cells with IGF-1 suppressed apoptotic cell death. The antiapoptotic effect of IGF-1 was blocked by LY294002 (an inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase) and by PD98059 (an inhibitor of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)). The protective effect of IGF-1 was also blocked by rapamycin (an inhibitor of p70 S6 kinase). Furthermore, H9c2 cells stably transfected with constitutively active PI 3-kinase (H9c2-p110*) and Akt (H9c2-Gag-Akt) constructs were more resistant to H2O2 cytotoxicity than control cells. Although H2O2 activates both p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), IGF-1 inhibited only JNK activation. Activated PI 3-kinase (H9c2-p110*) and pretreatment of cells with IGF-1 down-regulated Bax protein levels compared to control cells. Taken together, our results suggest that IGF-1 transmits a survival signal against oxidative stress-induced apoptosis in H9c2 cells via PI 3-kinase and ERK-dependent pathways and the protective effect of IGF-1 is associated with the inhibition of JNK activation and Bax expression. 相似文献

Ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is a common clinical condition that results in apoptosis and oxidative stress injury. Thyroid hormone was previously reported to elicit cardiac myocyte hypertrophy and promote cardiac function after cardiac injury. We used an in vivo mouse model of I/R injury and in vitro primary cardiomyocyte culture assays to investigate the effects of thyroid hormone on cardiomyocytes during hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) injury. The results showed that T3 pretreatment in vivo significantly improved left ventricular function after I/R injury. In vitro, T3 pretreatment decreased cell apoptosis rate, inhibited caspase-3 activity and decreased the Bax/Bcl-2 ration induced by H/R injury. T3 pretreatment significantly attenuated the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential. Furthermore, it was observed that T3 diminished the expression of NCX1 protein and decreased SERCA2a protein expression in H/R-induced cardiomyocytes, and T3 prevented intracellular Ca2+ increase during H/R injury. Also, T3 increased the expression of IGF-1, and PI3K/Akt signalling in cardiomyocytes under H/R-induced injury, and that the protective effect of T3 against H/R-induced injury was blocked by the PI3K inhibitor LY294002. IGF-1 receptor (IGF-1R) inhibitor GSK1904529A significantly inhibited the expression of IGF-1R and PI3K/Akt signalling. In summary, T3 pretreatment protects cardiomyocytes against H/R-induced injury by activating the IGF-1-mediated PI3K/Akt signalling pathway. 相似文献

Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) has chemoprotective properties in experimental cancer models, and in vitro studies have shown that CLA inhibits HT-29 colon cancer cell growth. ErbB2 and ErbB3 have been implicated in the development of colon cancer, and both proteins are expressed at high levels in the HT-29 cell line. Activation of ErbB2/ErbB3 heterodimers is regulated by the ErbB3 ligand heregulin. To examine CLA regulation of HT-29 cell proliferation and apoptosis and the influence of CLA on the ErbB3 signaling pathway, HT-29 cells were cultured in the presence of CLA and/or heregulin. CLA inhibited DNA synthesis and induced apoptosis of HT-29 cells. Although the addition of heregulin-alpha led to an increase in cell number, it was not able to counteract the negative growth regulatory effect of CLA. Immunoprecipitation/Western blot studies revealed that CLA inhibited heregulin-alpha-stimulated phosphorylation of ErbB2 and ErbB3, recruitment of the p85 subunit of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3-kinase) to the ErbB3 receptor, ErbB3-associated PI3-kinase activities, and phosphorylation of Akt. CLA decreased ErbB2 and ErbB3 mRNA and protein levels in a dose-dependent manner. In conclusion, we demonstrate that CLA inhibits cell proliferation and stimulates apoptosis in HT-29 cells and that this may be mediated by its ability to downregulate ErbB3 signaling and the PI3-kinase/Akt pathway. 相似文献

Association of PI3K-Akt signaling pathway with digitalis-induced hypertrophy of cardiac myocytes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Our previous studies on cardiac myocytes showed that positive inotropic concentrations of the digitalis drug ouabain activated signaling pathways linked to Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase through Src and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and led to myocyte hypertrophy. In view of the known involvement of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)-Akt pathways in cardiac hypertrophy, the aim of the present study was to determine whether these pathways are also linked to cardiac Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase and, if so, to assess their role in ouabain-induced myocyte growth. In a dose- and time-dependent manner, ouabain activated Akt and phosphorylation of its substrates mammalian target of rapamycin and glycogen synthase kinase in neonatal rat cardiac myocytes. Akt activation by ouabain was sensitive to PI3K inhibitors and was also noted in adult myocytes and isolated hearts. Ouabain caused a transient increase of phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate content of neonatal myocytes, activated class IA, but not class IB, PI3K, and increased coimmunoprecipitation of the alpha-subunit of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase with the p85 subunit of class IA PI3K. Ouabain-induced activation of ERK1/2 was prevented by Src, EGFR, and MEK inhibitors, but not by PI3K inhibitors. Activation of Akt by ouabain, however, was sensitive to inhibitors of PI3K and Src, but not to inhibitors of EGFR and MEK. Similarly, ouabain-induced myocyte hypertrophy was prevented by PI3K and Src inhibitors, but not by an EGFR inhibitor. These findings 1) establish the linkage of the class IA PI3K-Akt pathway to Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase and the essential role of this linkage to ouabain-induced myocyte hypertrophy and 2) suggest cross talk between these PI3K-Akt pathways and the signaling cascades previously identified to be associated with cardiac Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase. 相似文献

ErbB2/HER2 and ErbB3/HER3, two members of the ErbB/HER family, together constitute a heregulin coreceptor complex that elicits a potent mitogenic and transforming signal. Among known intracellular effectors of the ErbB2/ErbB3 heregulin coreceptor are mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and phosphoinositide (PI) 3-kinase. Activation of the distinct MAPK and PI 3-kinase signaling pathways by the ErbB2/ErbB3 coreceptor in response to heregulin and their relative contributions to the mitogenic and transformation potentials of the activated coreceptor were investigated here. To this end, cDNAs encoding the wild-type ErbB3 protein (ErbB3-WT) and ErbB3 proteins with amino acid substitutions in either the Shc-binding site (ErbB3-Y1325F), the six putative PI 3-kinase-binding sites (ErbB3-6F), or both (ErbB3-7F) were generated and expressed in NIH-3T3 cells to form functional ErbB2/ErbB3 heregulin coreceptors. While the coreceptor incorporating ErbB3-WT activated both the MAPK and the PI 3-kinase signaling pathways, those incorporating ErbB3-Y1325F or ErbB3-6F activated either PI 3-kinase or MAPK, respectively. The ErbB2/ErbB3-7F coreceptor activated neither. Elimination of either signaling pathway lowered basal and eliminated heregulin-dependent expression of cyclin D1, which was in each case accompanied by an attenuated mitogenic response. Selective elimination of the PI 3-kinase pathway severely impaired the ability of heregulin to transform cells expressing the coreceptor, whereas attenuation of the MAPK pathway had a lesser effect. Thus, while both pathways contributed in a roughly additive manner to the mitogenic response elicited by the activated ErbB2/ErbB3 coreceptor, the PI 3-kinase pathway predominated in the induction of cellular transformation. 相似文献

The role of signaling pathways including the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) during viral infection has gained much recent attention. Our laboratory reported on an important regulatory role for extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK1/2), subfamily members of the MAPKs, during coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) infection. However, the role of the PI3K pathway in CVB3 infection has not been well characterized. CVB3 is the most common known viral infectant of heart muscle that directly injures and kills infected cardiac myocytes during the myocarditic process. In the present study, we investigated the role of protein kinase B (PKB) (also known as Akt), a general downstream mediator of survival signals through the PI3K cascade, in regulating CVB3 replication and virus-induced apoptosis in a well-established HeLa cell model. We have demonstrated that CVB3 infection leads to phosphorylation of PKB/Akt on both Ser-473 and Thr-308 residues through a PI3K-dependent mechanism. Transfection of HeLa cells with a dominant negative mutant of Akt1 or pretreatment of wild-type HeLa cells with the specific PI3K inhibitor LY294002 significantly suppresses viral RNA expression, as reflected in diminished viral capsid protein expression and viral release. Dominant negative Akt1 and LY294002 also increase apoptosis in infected cells, which can be reversed by addition of the general caspase inhibitor benzyloxycarbonyl-Val-Ala-Asp-fluoromethylketone (zVAD.fmk). Interestingly, blocking of apoptosis by zVAD.fmk does not reverse the viral RNA translation blockade, indicating that the inhibitory effect of dominant negative Akt1 on viral protein expression is not caspase dependent. In addition, we showed that the attachment of virus to its receptor-coreceptor complex is not sufficient for PKB/Akt activation and that postentry viral replication is required for Akt phosphorylation. Taken together, these data illustrate a new and imperative role for Akt in CVB3 infection in HeLa cells and show that the PI3K/Akt signaling is beneficial to CVB3 replication. 相似文献

We have recently reported that Trypanosoma cruzi infection protects cardiomyocytes against apoptosis induced by growth factor deprivation. Cruzipain, a major parasite antigen, reproduced this survival effect by a Bcl-2-dependent mechanism. In this study, we have investigated the molecular mechanisms of cruzipain-induced cardiomyocyte protection. Neonatal BALB/c mouse cardiac myocytes were cultured under minimum serum conditions in the presence of cruzipain or T. cruzi (Tulahuen strain). Some cultures were pretreated with the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor Ly294002 or specific inhibitors of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family members such as the mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK1) inhibitor PD098059, Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) inhibitor SP600125, p38 MAPK inhibitor SB203580. Inhibition of PI3K and MEK1 but not JNK or p38 MAPK increased the apoptotic rate of cardiomyocytes treated with cruzipain. Phosphorylation of Akt, a major target of PI3K, and ERK1/2, MEK1-targets, was achieved at 15 min and 5 min, respectively. In parallel, these kinases were strongly phosphorylated by T. cruzi infection. In cultures treated with cruzipain, cleavage of caspase 3 was considerably diminished after serum starvation; Bcl-2 overexpression was inhibited by PD098059 but not by Ly294002, whereas Bad phosphorylation and Bcl-xL expression were increased and differentially modulated by both inhibitors. The results suggest that cruzipain exerts its anti-apoptotic property in cardiac myocytes at least by PI3K/Akt and MEK1/ERK1/2 signaling pathways. We further identified a differential modulation of Bcl-2 family members by these two signaling pathways. 相似文献
