LPS induces in bone marrow macrophages the transient expression of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) phosphatase-1 (MKP-1). Because MKP-1 plays a crucial role in the attenuation of different MAPK cascades, we were interested in the characterization of the signaling mechanisms involved in the control of MKP-1 expression in LPS-stimulated macrophages. The induction of MKP-1 was blocked by genistein, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, and by two different protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitors (GF109203X and calphostin C). We had previously shown that bone marrow macrophages express the isoforms PKC beta I, epsilon, and zeta. Of all these, only PKC beta I and epsilon are inhibited by GF109203X. The following arguments suggest that PKC epsilon is required selectively for the induction of MKP-1 by LPS. First, in macrophages exposed to prolonged treatment with PMA, MKP-1 induction by LPS correlates with the levels of expression of PKC epsilon but not with that of PKC beta I. Second, G?6976, an inhibitor selective for conventional PKCs, including PKC beta I, does not alter MKP-1 induction by LPS. Last, antisense oligonucleotides that block the expression of PKC epsilon, but not those selective for PKC beta I or PKC zeta, inhibit MKP-1 induction and lead to an increase of extracellular-signal regulated kinase activity during the macrophage response to LPS. Finally, in macrophages stimulated with LPS we observed significant activation of PKC epsilon. In conclusion, our results demonstrate an important role for PKC epsilon in the induction of MKP-1 and the subsequent negative control of MAPK activity in macrophages. 相似文献

We have previously found that hypoxia stimulates proliferation of vascular fibroblasts through Galphai-mediated activation of ERK1/2. Here, we demonstrate that hypoxia also activates the atypical protein kinase Czeta (PKCzeta) isozyme and stimulates the expression of ERK1/2-specific phosphatase, MAP kinase phosphatase-1 (MKP-1), which attenuates ERK1/2-mediated proliferative signals. Replication repressor activity is unique to PKCzeta because the blockade of classical and novel PKC isozymes does not affect fibroblast proliferation. PKCzeta is phosphorylated upon prolonged (24 h) exposure to hypoxia, whereas ERK1/2, the downstream kinases, are maximally activated in fibroblasts exposed to acute (10 min) hypoxia. However, PKCzeta blockade results in persistent ERK1/2 phosphorylation and marked increase in hypoxia-induced replication. Similarly prolonged ERK1/2 phosphorylation and increase in hypoxia-stimulated proliferation are also observed upon blockade of MKP-1 activation. Because of the parallel suppressive actions of PKCzeta and MKP-1 on ERK1/2 phosphorylation and proliferation, the role of PKCzeta in the regulation of MKP-1 expression was evaluated. PKCzeta attenuation reduces MKP-1 expression, whereas PKCzeta overexpression increases MKP-1 levels. In conclusion, our results indicate for the first time that hypoxia activates PKCzeta, which acts as a terminator of ERK1/2 activation through the regulation of downstream target, MKP-1 expression and thus serves to limit hypoxia-induced proliferation of fibroblasts. 相似文献

UV-induced signal transduction may be involved in tumor promotion and induction of apoptosis. The role of protein kinase C (PKC) in UVB-induced signal transduction is not well understood. This study showed that UVB markedly induced translocation of membrane-associated PKCepsilon and PKCdelta, but not PKCalpha, from cytosol to membrane. Dominant negative mutant (DNM) PKCepsilon or PKCdelta inhibited UVB-induced translocation of PKCepsilon and PKCdelta, respectively. UVB-induced activation of extracellular signal-regulated protein kinases (Erks) and c-Jun NH2-terminal kinases (JNKs) was strongly inhibited by DNM PKCepsilon and PKCdelta, whereas the DNM of PKCalpha was less effective on the UVB-induced phosphorylation of Erks and JNKs. Among the PKC inhibitors used only rottlerin, a selective inhibitor of PKCdelta, markedly inhibited the UVB-induced activation of Erks and JNKs, but not p38 kinases. Safingol, a selective inhibitor for PKCalpha, did not show any inhibitory effect on UVB-induced mitogen-activated protein kinase activation. GF109203X is a stronger inhibitor of classical PKC than novel PKC. Lower concentrations of GF109203X (<10 microM) had no effect on UVB-induced activation of Erks or JNKs. However, at higher concentrations (over 20 microM), GF109203X inhibited UVB-induced activation of JNKs, Erks, and even p38 kinases. Meanwhile, rottlerin and GF109203X markedly inhibited UVB-induced apoptosis of JB6 cells, whereas safingol had little inhibitory effect. DNM-Erk2 cells and PD98059, a selective inhibitor for mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1 that directly activates Erks, inhibited UVB-induced apoptosis. DNM-JNK1 cells also blocked UVB-induced apoptosis, whereas SB202190, a specific inhibitor for p38 kinases, did not produce the inhibitory effect. These data demonstrate that PKCdelta and PKCepsilon, but not PKCalpha, mediate UVB-induced signal transduction and apoptosis in JB6 cells through activation of Erks and JNKs. 相似文献

Macrophages are key regulators of immune responses. In the absence of an activating signal, murine bone marrow-derived macrophages undergo proliferation in response to their specific growth factor, namely M-CSF. The addition of bacterial LPS results in macrophage growth arrest and their engagement in a proinflammatory response. Although participation of ERKs is required for both macrophage proliferation and activation, ERK phosphorylation follows a more delayed pattern in response to activating agents. In primary macrophages, mitogen kinase phosphatase-1 (MKP-1) is a key regulator of the time course of MAPK activity. Here we showed that MKP-1 expression is dependent on Raf-1 activation. The time course of Raf-1 activation correlated with that of ERK-1/2. However, whereas ERK phosphorylation in response to M-CSF is Raf-1 dependent, in response to LPS, an alternative pathway directs the activation of these kinases. Inhibition of Raf-1 activity increased the expression of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors and growth arrest. In contrast, no effect was observed in the expression of proinflammatory cytokines and inducible NO synthase following LPS stimulation. The data reported here reveal new insights into how signaling determines opposing macrophage functions. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to determine the pathway(s) by which ethanol activates mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling and to determine the role of Ca2+ in the signaling process. MAPK signaling was determined by assessing MAPK activity, measuring phosphorylated extracellular signaling-regulated kinase (pp 44 ERK-1 and pp 42 ERK-2) expression and ERK activity by measuring ERK-2-dependent phosphorylation of a synthetic peptide as a MAPK substrate in rat vascular smooth muscle cells. Ethanol activated extracellular signal-regulated kinase expression (ERK 1 and 2) could be observed when vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) were stimulated for 5 min or less, but was inhibited when cells are treated for 10 min or more with 1-16 mM of ethanol. Maximum ethanol-induced MAPK activity was observed within 5 min with 4 or 8 mM. Ethanol stimulated MAPK activity was blocked by the protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor (GF109203X) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor antagonist (PD153035) by 41 +/- 24 and 34 +/- 12.3%, respectively. The calcium channel blocker, diltiazem and the chelating agent, BAPTA, reduced the activation of MAPK activity by ethanol, significantly. The data demonstrate that ethanol-stimulated MAPK expression is mediated partially through both the EGF-receptor and PKC intermediates and that activation through the PKC intermediate is calcium-dependent. 相似文献

This study characterized the upstream signalling molecules involved in extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) 1/2 activation and determined their effects on differential tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha expression by monocytes/macrophages infected with virulent or avirulent mycobacteria. The avirulent Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) strain H37Ra (MTBRa) induced higher levels of activation of ERK 1/2 and the upstream MAPK kinase (MEK)1 and, subsequently, higher levels of TNF-alpha expression in human primary monocytes and monocyte-derived macrophages, as compared with MTB strain H37Rv (MTBRv). The MTB-induced activation of ERK 1/2 was not dependent on Ras or Raf. However, inhibition of the activity of atypical protein kinase C (PKC) zeta decreased the in vitro phosphorylation of MEK, ERK 1/2 activation and subsequent TNF-alpha induction caused by MTBRv or MTBRa. Toll-like receptor (TLR) 2 was found to play a major role in MTB-induced TNF-alpha expression and PKCzeta phosphorylation. Co-immunoprecipitation experiments showed that PKCzeta interacts physically with TLR2 after MTB stimulation. Moreover, PKCzeta phosphorylation was increased more in macrophages following MTBRa, versus MTBRv, infection. This is the first demonstration that PKCzeta interacts with TLR2 to play an essential role in MTB-induced ERK 1/2 activation and subsequent TNF-alpha expression in monocytes/macrophages. 相似文献

The spin trap alpha-phenyl-N-tert-butylnitron (PBN) is widely used for studies of the biological effects of free radicals. We previously reported the protective effects of PBN against ischemia-reperfusion injury in gerbil hippocampus by its activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and suppression of both stress-activated protein kinase and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase. In the present study, we found that PBN induced neurite outgrowth accompanied by ERK activation in PC12 cells in a dose-dependent manner. The induction of neurite outgrowth was inhibited significantly not only by transient transfection of PC12 cells with dominant negative Ras, but also by treatment with mitogen-activated protein kinase/ERK kinase inhibitor PD98059. The activation of receptor tyrosine kinase TrkA was not involved in PBN-induced neurite outgrowth. A protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor, GF109203X, was found to inhibit neurite outgrowth. The activation of PKCepsilon was observed after PBN stimulation. PBN-induced neurite outgrowth and ERK activation were counteracted by the thiol-based antioxidant N-acetylcysteine. From these results, it was concluded that PBN induced neurite outgrowth in PC12 cells through activation of the Ras-ERK pathway and PKC. 相似文献

Acute mu and kappa opioids activate the ERK/MAPK phosphorylation cascade that represents an integral part of the signaling pathway of growth factors in astrocytes. By this cross-talk, opioids may impact neural development and plasticity among other basic neurobiological processes in vivo. The mu agonist, [D-ala2,mephe4,glyol5]enkephalin (DAMGO), induces a transient stimulation of ERK phosphorylation, whereas kappa agonist, U69,593, engenders sustained ERK activation. Here we demonstrate that acute U69,593 and DAMGO stimulate ERK phosphorylation by utilization of different secondary messengers and protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms upstream of the growth factor pathway. Immortalized astrocytes transfected with either antisense calmodulin (CaM), a mutant mu opioid receptor that binds CaM poorly or a dominant negative mutant of PKCepsilon were used as a model system to study mu signaling. Evidence was gained to implicate CaM and PKCepsilon in DAMGO stimulation of ERK. DAMGO activation of PKCepsilon and/or ERK was insensitive to selective inhibitors of Ca2+ mobilization, but it was blocked upon phospholipase C inhibition. These results suggest a novel mechanism wherein, upon DAMGO binding, CaM is released from the mu receptor and activates phospholipase C. Subsequently, phospholipase C generates diacylglycerides that activate PKCepsilon. In contrast, U69,593 appears to act via phosphoinositide 3-kinase, PKCzeta, and Ca2+ mobilization. These signaling components were implicated based on studies with specific inhibitors and a dominant negative mutant of PKCzeta. Collectively, our findings on acute opioid effects suggest that differences in their mechanism of signaling may contribute to the distinct outcomes on ERK modulation induced by chronic mu and kappa opioids. 相似文献

Stimulation of cells with G-CSF activates multiple signaling cascades, including the serine/threonine kinase Akt pathway. We show in this study that G-CSF-induced activation of Akt in myeloid 32D was specifically inhibited by treatment with PMA, a protein kinase C (PKC) activator. PMA treatment also rapidly attenuated sustained Akt activation mediated by a carboxy truncated G-CSF receptor, expressed in patients with acute myeloid leukemia evolving from severe congenital neutropenia. The inhibitory effect of PMA was abolished by pretreatment of cells with specific PKC inhibitor GF109203X, suggesting that the PKC pathway negatively regulates Akt activation. Ro31-8820, a PKCepsilon inhibitor, also abrogated PMA-mediated inhibition of Akt activation, whereas rottlerin and Go6976, inhibitors of PKCdelta and PKCalphabetaI, respectively, exhibited no significant effects. Furthermore, overexpression of the wild-type and a constitutively active, but not a kinase-dead, forms of PKCepsilon markedly attenuated Akt activation, and inhibited the proliferation and survival of cells in response to G-CSF. The expression of PKCepsilon was down-regulated with G-CSF-induced terminal granulocytic differentiation. Together, these results implicate PKCepsilon as a negative regulator of Akt activation stimulated by G-CSF and indicate that PKCepsilon plays a negative role in cell proliferation and survival in response to G-CSF. 相似文献

Epidermal growth factor (EGF) protects the intestinal epithelial tight junctions from acetaldehyde-induced insult. The role of phospholipase Cgamma (PLCgamma) and protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms in the mechanism of EGF-mediated protection of tight junction from acetaldehyde was evaluated in Caco-2 cell monolayers. EGF-mediated prevention of acetaldehyde-induced decrease in transepithelial electrical resistance and an increase in inulin permeability, and subcellular redistribution of occludin and ZO-1 was attenuated by reduced expression of PLCgamma1 by short hairpin RNA. EGF induced a rapid activation of PLCgamma1 and PLC-dependent membrane translocation of PKCepsilon and PKCbetaI. Inhibition of PKC activity or selective interference of membrane translocation of PKCepsilon and PKCbetaI by RACK interference peptides attenuated EGF-mediated prevention of acetaldehyde-induced increase in inulin permeability and redistribution of occludin and ZO-1. BAPTA-AM and thapsigargin blocked EGF-induced membrane translocation of PKCbetaI and attenuated EGF-mediated prevention of acetaldehyde-induced disruption of tight junctions. EGF-induced translocation of PKCepsilon and PKCbetaI was associated with organization of F-actin near the perijunctional region. This study shows that PLCgamma-mediated activation of PKCepsilon and PKCbetaI and intracellular calcium is involved in EGF-mediated protection of tight junctions from acetaldehyde-induced insult. 相似文献

As lead has been shown to activate protein kinase C (PKC), and gliomas are reported to be highly dependent on PKC for their proliferation, this study was undertaken to investigate whether lead may act as a mitogen in human astrocytoma cells, and to determine the role of PKC in this effect. Lead acetate (from 100 nM to 100 microM) induced a concentration- and time-dependent increase in DNA synthesis, as measured by incorporation of [methyl-3H]thymidine into cell DNA, without causing any cytotoxicity. Flow cytometric analysis showed that lead was able to stimulate the cell cycle transition from the G0/G1 phase to the S/G2 phase, resulting in increased percentage of cells in the latter phase. Western blot analyses showed that lead induced translocation of PKCalpha, but not of PKCepsilon or PKCzeta, from the cytosolic to the particulate fraction, with a concomitant increase in PKC enzyme activity. Prolonged exposure to lead caused down-regulation of PKCalpha, but not of PKCepsilon. The effect of lead on DNA synthesis was mediated through PKC as evidenced by the finding that two PKC inhibitors, GF 109203X and staurosporine, as well as down-regulation of PKC through prolonged treatment with 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate, blocked lead-induced DNA synthesis. Further experiments using a pseudosubstrate peptide targeting classical PKCs and selective down-regulation of specific PKC isoforms indicated that the effect of lead on DNA synthesis was mediated by PKCalpha. Altogether, these results suggest that lead stimulates DNA synthesis in human astrocytoma cells by a mechanism that involves activation of PKCalpha. 相似文献

The multi-site phosphorylation of the protein kinase C (PKC) superfamily plays an important role in the regulation of these enzymes. One of the key phosphorylation sites required for the activation of all PKC isoforms lies in the T-loop of the kinase domain. Recent in vitro and transfection experiments indicate that phosphorylation of this residue can be mediated by the 3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase-1 (PDK1). In this study, we demonstrate that in embryonic stem (ES) cells lacking PDK1 (PDK1-/- cells), the intracellular levels of endogenously expressed PKCalpha, PKCbetaI, PKCgamma, PKCdelta, PKCepsilon, and PKC-related kinase-1 (PRK1) are vastly reduced compared to control ES cells (PDK1+/+ cells). The levels of PKCzeta and PRK2 protein are only moderately reduced in the PDK1-/- ES cells. We demonstrate that in contrast to PKCzeta expressed PDK1+/+ ES cells, PKCzeta in ES cells lacking PDK1 is not phosphorylated at its T-loop residue. This provides the first genetic evidence that PKCzeta is a physiological substrate for PDK1. In contrast, PRK2 is still partially phosphorylated at its T-loop in PDK1-/- cells, indicating the existence of a PDK1-independent mechanism for the phosphorylation of PRK2 at this residue. 相似文献

Parathyroid hormone-mediated regulation of Na+-K+-ATPase requires ERK-dependent translocation of protein kinase Calpha 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Parathyroid hormone (PTH) inhibits Na+-K+-ATPase activity by serine phosphorylation of the alpha1 subunit through protein kinase C (PKC)- and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)-dependent pathways. Based on previous studies we postulated that PTH regulates sodium pump activity through isoform-specific PKC-dependent activation of ERK. In the present work utilizing opossum kidney cells, a model of renal proximal tubule, PTH stimulated membrane translocation of PKCalpha by 102 +/- 16% and PKCbetaI by 41 +/- 7% but had no effect on PKCbetaII and PKCzeta. Both PKCalpha and PKCbetaI phosphorylated the Na+-K+-ATPase alpha1 subunit in vitro. PTH increased the activity of PKCalpha but not PKCbetaI. Coimmunoprecipitation assays demonstrated that treatment with PTH enhanced the association between Na+-K+-ATPase alpha1 subunit and PKCalpha, whereas the association between Na+-K+-ATPase alpha1 subunit and PKCbetaI remained unchanged. A PKCalpha inhibitory peptide blocked PTH-stimulated serine phosphorylation of the Na+-K+-ATPase alpha1 subunit and inhibition of Na+-K+-ATPase activity. Pharmacologic inhibition of MEK-1 blocked PTH-stimulated translocation of PKCalpha, whereas transfection of constitutively active MEK-1 cDNA induced translocation of PKCalpha and increased phosphorylation of the Na+-K+-ATPase alpha1 subunit. In contrast, PTH-stimulated ERK activation was not inhibited by pretreatment with the PKCalpha inhibitory peptide. Inhibition of PKCalpha expression by siRNA did not inhibit PTH-mediated ERK activation but significantly reduced PTH-mediated phosphorylation of the Na+-K+-ATPase alpha1 subunit. Pharmacologic inhibition of phosphoinositide 3-kinase blocked PTH-stimulated ERK activation, translocation of PKCalpha, and phosphorylation of the Na+-K+-ATPase alpha1 subunit. We conclude that PTH stimulates Na+-K+-ATPase phosphorylation and decreases the activity of Na+-K+-ATPase by ERK-dependent activation of PKCalpha. 相似文献

Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades underlie long-term mitogenic, morphogenic, and secretory activities of purinergic receptors. In HEK-293 cells, N-ethylcarboxamidoadenosine (NECA) activates endogenous A2BARs that signal through Gs and Gq/11. UTP activates P2Y2 receptors and signals only through Gq/11. The MAPK isoforms, extracellular-signal regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK), are activated by NECA and UTP. H-89 blocks ERK activation by forskolin, but weakly affects the response to NECA or UTP. ERK activation by NECA or UTP is unaffected by a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (genistein), attenuated by a phospholipase C inhibitor (U73122), and is abolished by a MEK inhibitor (PD098059) or dominant negative Ras. Inhibition of protein kinase C (PKC) by GF 109203X failed to block ERK activation by NECA or UTP, however, another PKC inhibitor, Ro 31-8220, which unlike GF 109203X, can block the zeta-isoform, and prevents UTP- but not NECA-induced ERK activation. In the presence of forskolin, Ro 31-8220 loses its ability to block UTP-stimulated ERK activation. PKA has opposing effects on B-Raf and c-Raf-1, both of which are found in HEK-293 cells. The data are explained by a model in which ERK activity is modulated by differential effects of PKC zeta and PKA on Raf isoforms. 相似文献

Selective protein kinase C isoforms are involved in endothelin-1-induced human uterine contraction at the end of pregnancy 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The role of protein kinase C (PKC) in contraction of the human myometrium induced by endothelin-1 (ET-1) was investigated at the end of pregnancy. The expression and subcellular distribution of PKC isoforms were examined by Western blot analysis using isoform-specific antibodies. At least three conventional PKC isoforms (cPKC; alpha, beta1, and beta2), two novel PKC isoforms (epsilon and delta), and an atypical PKC isoform (zeta) were detected in pregnant myometrium. Quantitative immunoblotting revealed that all these isoforms were mainly distributed in the particulate fraction. The lack of a calcium chelator to modify the particulate sequestration of cPKC suggests an interaction with an anchoring protein such as receptor-activated C kinase-1, which is evidenced in the particulate fraction of the pregnant myometrium. Of the six isoforms, only PKCbeta1, PKCbeta2, PKCdelta, and PKCzeta were translocated to the particulate fraction, and PKCepsilon to the cytoskeletal fraction, after stimulation with ET-1. Involvement of PKC in the ET-1-induced contractile response is supported by the inhibition caused by the PKC inhibitor calphostin C. However, we demonstrated that the selective cPKC isoform inhibitor, G? 6976, as well as the substantial depletion of PKCbeta1 and PKCepsilon and the partial depletion of PKCalpha and PKCdelta by a long-term treatment with phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate did not prevent ET-1-induced contraction. Accordingly, our results suggest that PKCdelta and PKCzeta activation mediated ET-1-induced contraction, whereas cPKC isoforms were not implicated in the human pregnant myometrium. 相似文献

Inhibition of osteoblast-mediated mineralization is one of the major catabolic effects of parathyroid hormone (PTH) on bone. Previously, we showed that PTH induces matrix gamma-carboxyglutamic acid (Gla) protein (MGP) expression and established that this induction is critical for PTH-mediated inhibition of osteoblast mineralization. In the present study, we focus on the mechanism through which PTH regulates MGP expression in osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells. Following transient transfection of these cells with a -748 bp murine MGP promoter-luciferase construct (pMGP-luc), PTH (10 (-7) M) induced promoter activity in a time-dependent manner with a maximal four- to six fold induction seen 6 h after PTH treatment. Both H-89 (PKA inhibitor) and U0126 (MEK inhibitor), suppressed PTH induction of MGP promoter activity as well as the MGP mRNA level. In addition, forskolin (PKA activator) stimulated MGP promoter activity and mRNA levels confirming that PKA is one of the signaling molecules required for regulation of MGP by PTH. Co-transfection of MC3T3-E1 cells with pMGP-luc and MEK(SP), a plasmid encoding the constitutively active form of MEK, led to a dose-dependent increase in MGP promoter activity. Both MGP promoter activity and MGP mRNA level were not affected by the protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor, GF109203X. However, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), a selective PKC activator induced MGP mRNA expression through activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK). Taken together, these results indicate that PTH regulates MGP via both PKA- and ERK-dependent pathways. 相似文献

We previously showed in rat renal glomerular mesangial cells, that arginine vasopressin (AVP)-stimulated cell proliferation was mediated by epidermal growth factor receptor (EGF-R) transactivation, and activation (phosphorylation) of ERK1/2 and p70S6 kinase (Ghosh et al. [2001]: Am J Physiol Renal Physiol 280:F972-F979]. In this paper, we extend these observations and show that different protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms play different roles in mediating AVP-stimulated ERK1/2 and p70S6 kinase phosphorylation and cell proliferation. AVP treatment for 0-60 min stimulated the serine/threonine phosphorylation of PKC isoforms alpha, delta, epsilon, and zeta. The activation of PKC was dependent on EGF-R and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) activation. In addition, inhibition of conventional and novel PKC isoforms by chronic (24 h) exposure to phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) inhibited AVP-induced activation of ERK and p70S6 kinase as well as EGF-R phosphorylation. Rottlerin, a specific inhibitor of PKCdelta, inhibited both ERK and p70S6 kinase phosphorylation and cell proliferation. In contrast, a PKCepsilon translocation inhibitor decreased ERK1/2 activation without affecting p70S6 kinase or cell proliferation, while a dominant negative PKCzeta (K281W) cDNA delayed p70S6 kinase activation without affecting ERK1/2. On the other hand, G?6976, an inhibitor of conventional PKC isoforms, did not affect p70S6 kinase, but stimulated ERK1/2 phosphorylation without affecting cell proliferation. Our results indicate that PKCdelta plays an important role in AVP-stimulated ERK and p70S6 kinase activation and cell proliferation. 相似文献

Parathyroid hormone (PTH) and PTH-related protein (PTHrP) activate one single receptor (PTH1R) which mediates catabolic and anabolic actions in the bone. Activation of PTH1R modulates multiple intracellular signaling responses. We previously reported that PTH and PTHrP down-regulate pERK1/2 and cyclin D1 in differentiated osteoblasts. In this study we investigate the role of MAPK phosphatase-1 (MKP-1) in PTHrP regulation of ERK1/2 activity in relation to osteoblast proliferation, differentiation and bone formation. Here we show that PTHrP increases MKP-1 expression in differentiated osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells, primary cultures of differentiated bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) and calvarial osteoblasts. PTHrP had no effect on MKP-1 expression in proliferating osteoblastic cells. Overexpression of MKP-1 in MC-4 cells inhibited osteoblastic cell proliferation. Cell extracts from differentiated MC-4 cells treated with PTHrP inactivate/dephosphorylate pERK1/2 in vitro; immunodepletion of MKP-1 blocked the ability of the extract to dephosphorylate pERK1/2; these data indicate that MKP-1 is involved in PTHrP-induced pERK1/2 dephosphorylation in the differentiated osteoblastic cells. PTHrP regulation of MKP-1 expression is partially dependent on PKA and PKC pathways. Treatment of nude mice, bearing ectopic ossicles, with intermittent PTH for 3 weeks, up-regulated MKP-1 and osteocalcin, a bone formation marker, with an increase in bone formation. These data indicate that PTH and PTHrP increase MKP-1 expression in differentiated osteoblasts; and that MKP-1 induces growth arrest of osteoblasts, via inactivating pERK1/2 and down-regulating cyclin D1; and identify MKP-1 as a possible mediator of the anabolic actions of PTH1R in mature osteoblasts. 相似文献
