Pituitary adenylyl cyclase-activating peptide (PACAP) stimulates calcium transients and catecholamine secretion in adrenal chromaffin and PC12 cells. The PACAP type 1 receptor in these cells couples to both adenylyl cyclase and phospolipase C pathways, but although phospolipase C has been implicated in the response to PACAP, the role of adenylyl cyclase is unclear. In this study, we show that PACAP38 stimulates Ca(2+) influx in PC12 cells by activating a cation current that depends upon the dual activation of both the PLC and adenylyl cyclase signaling pathways but does not involve protein kinase C. In activating the current, PACAP38 has to overcome an inhibitory effect of Ras. Thus, in cells expressing a dominant negative form of Ras (PC12asn17-W7), PACAP38 induced larger, more rapidly activating currents. This effect of Ras could be overidden by intracellular guanosine-5'-O-3-(thio)triphosphate (GTPgammaS), suggesting that it was mediated by inhibition of downstream G proteins. Ras may also inhibit the current through a G protein-independent mechanism, because cAMP analogues activated the current in PC12asn17-W7 cells, provided GTPgammaS was present, but not in PC12 cells expressing wild type Ras. We conclude that coupling of PACAP to both adenylyl cyclase and phospholipase C is required to activate Ca(2+) influx in PC12 cells and that tonic inhibition by Ras delays and limits the response. 相似文献

Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) serves as a co-stimulatory receptor for human T cells by enhancing T cell receptor (TCR)-induced cytokine production and proliferation. However, it is unknown where signals from the TCR and TLR2 converge to enhance T cell activation. To address this gap, we examined changes in TCR-induced signaling following concurrent TLR2 activation in human T cells. Both proximal TCR-mediated signaling and early NFκB activation were not enhanced by TCR andTLR2 co-activation, potentially due to the association of TLR2 with TLR10. Instead, TLR2 co-induction did augment Akt and Erk1/Erk2 activation in human T cells. These findings demonstrate that TLR2 activates distinct signaling pathways in human T cells and suggest that alterations in expression of TLR2 co-receptors may contribute to aberrant T cell responses. 相似文献

Nitric oxide signaling is crucial for effecting long lasting changes in cells, including gene expression, cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, and differentiation. We have determined the temporal order of gene activation induced by NO in mammalian cells and have examined the signaling pathways that mediate the action of NO. Using microarrays to study the kinetics of gene activation by NO, we have determined that NO induces three distinct waves of gene activity. The first wave is induced within 30 min of exposure to NO and represents the primary gene targets of NO. It is followed by subsequent waves of gene activity that may reflect further cascades of NO-induced gene expression. We verified our results using quantitative real time PCR and further validated our conclusions about the effects of NO by using cytokines to induce endogenous NO production. We next applied pharmacological and genetic approaches to determine the signaling pathways that are used by NO to regulate gene expression. We used inhibitors of particular signaling pathways, as well as cells from animals with a deleted p53 gene, to define groups of genes that require phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, protein kinase C, NF-kappaB, p53, or combinations thereof for activation by NO. Our results demonstrate that NO utilizes several independent signaling pathways to induce gene expression. 相似文献

Energy homeostasis is regulated by peripheral signals, such as leptin, and by several orexigenic and anorectic neuropeptides. Recently, we reported that the orexigenic neuropeptide melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) stimulates leptin production by rat adipocytes and that the MCH receptor (MCH-R1) is present on these cells. Here, we show that MCH-R1 is present on murine 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Treatment of 3T3-L1 adipocytes with 1 micromolar MCH for up to 2 h acutely downregulated MCH-R1, indicating a mechanism of ligand-induced receptor downregulation. Potential signaling pathways mediating MCH-R1 action in adipocytes were investigated. Treatment of 3T3-L1 adipocytes with 1 micromolar MCH rapidly induced a threefold and a fivefold increase in p44/42 MAPK and pp70 S6 kinase activities, respectively. In addition, 3T3-L1 adipocytes transiently transfected with a murine leptin-luciferase promoter construct showed a fourfold and a sixfold increase in leptin promoter-reporter gene expression at 1 h and 4 h, respectively, in response to MCH. Activity decreased to basal levels at 8 h. Furthermore, MCH-stimulated leptin promoter-driven luciferase activity was diminished in the presence of the MAP/ERK kinase inhibitor PD-98059 and in the presence of rapamycin, an inhibitor of pp70 S6 kinase activation. These results provide further evidence for a functional MCH signaling pathway in adipocytes. 相似文献

Platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1) inhibits platelet response to collagen and may also inhibit two other major platelet agonists ADP and thrombin although this has been less well explored. We hypothesized that the combined effect of inhibiting these three platelet activating pathways may act to significantly inhibit thrombus formation. We demonstrate a negative relationship between PECAM-1 surface expression and platelet response to cross-linked collagen related peptide (CRP-XL) and ADP, and an inhibitory effect of PECAM-1 clustering on platelet response to CRP-XL, ADP and thrombin. This combined inhibition of multiple signaling pathways results in a marked reduction in thrombus formation. 相似文献

The mechanisms of peroxynitrite-induced apoptosis are not fully understood. We report here that peroxynitrite-induced apoptosis of PC12 cells requires the simultaneous activation of p38 and JNK MAP kinase, which in turn activates the intrinsic apoptotic pathway, as evidenced by Bax translocation to the mitochondria, cytochrome c release to the cytoplasm and activation of caspases, leading to cell death. Peroxynitrite induces inactivation of the Akt pathway. Furthermore, overexpression of constitutively active Akt inhibits both peroxynitrite-induced Bax translocation and cell death. Peroxynitrite-induced death was prevented by overexpression of Bcl-2 and by cyclosporin A, implicating the involvement of the intrinsic apoptotic pathway. Selective inhibition of mixed lineage kinase (MLK), p38 or JNK does not attenuate the decrease in Akt phosphorylation showing that inactivation of the Akt pathway occurs independently of the MLK/MAPK pathway. Together, these results reveal that peroxynitrite-induced activation of the intrinsic apoptotic pathway involves interactions with the MLK/MAPK and Akt signaling pathways. 相似文献

TRB3 is a pseudokinase whose expression is regulated during stress response and changing of nutrient status. TRB3 negatively regulates Akt activation and noticeably, TRB3 expression is induced by insulin. Here, we sought to determine the dynamic relationship between TRB3 expression and Akt activation. We find that insulin induces TRB3 expression in cell type dependent manner such that in hepatic cells and adipocytes but not Beta cells and muscle cells. In Fao hepatoma cells, induction of TRB3 expression by insulin restrains Akt activation and renders Akt refractory to further activation. In addition, we have also analyzed the roles of PI3K and its downstream kinases Akt and atypical PKC in TRB3 expression. Induction of TRB3 expression by insulin requires PI3K. However, inactivation of Akt enhances TRB3 expression whereas inhibition of PKCzeta expression impairs TRB3 expression induced by insulin. Our data demonstrated that PI3K conveys both negative and positive signals to TRB3 expression. We suggest that insulin-induced TRB3 expression functions as an indicator how multiple insulin-induced signal transduction pathways are balanced. 相似文献

Mutations in the expanded gene act as hyperplastic tumor suppressors, interfere with cell competition and elevate Dpp signaling. Unlike Dpp overexpression, ex causes few patterning defects. Our data suggest that patterning effects are partly masked by antagonistic roles of other signaling pathways that are also activated. ex causes proliferation of cells in the posterior eye disc that are normally postmitotic. ex mutations elevate Wg signaling, but Dpp signaling antagonizes patterning effects of Wg. By contrast, if Dpp signaling is blocked in ex mutant cells, the elevated Wg signaling preserves an immature developmental state and prevents retinal differentiation. An effect of ex mutations on vesicle transport is suggested by evidence for altered sterol distribution. Mutations in ft show effects on proliferation, Wg signaling and sterols very similar to those of ex mutations. During disc growth, ex was largely epistatic to ft, and the Warts pathway mutation hippo largely epistatic to ex. Our data suggest that ft and ex act partially through the Warts pathway. 相似文献

The beta(2)-integrins on leukocytes can serve as a signaling unit during cell adhesion and locomotion, and to further clarify this important property we investigated the possible mechanisms of beta(2)-integrin-induced activation of PtdIns 3-kinase. It has previously been demonstrated that clustering of beta(2)-integrins activates p21(ras) by a tyrosine kinase-dependent pathway, and here we show that active p21(ras) interacts with its downstream target, PtdIns 3-kinase. Engagement of beta(2)-integrins also activates the tyrosine kinases p58(c-fgr) and p59/61(hck) and causes them to associate with the p85 subunit of PtdIns 3-kinase. These findings suggest a mechanism whereby p58(c-fgr) and p59/61(hck) are directly involved in the activation of PtdIns 3-kinase. No coupling between p58(c-fgr) and p59/61(hck) could be detected; hence these kinases probably trigger independent but parallel signals to PtdIns 3-kinase. The effect of beta(2)-integrin clustering on PtdIns 3-kinase activity was monitored as the activation of protein kinase B (PKB). Stimulation of PKB by beta(2)-integrins was abolished by genistein and wortmannin but not by using methyl transferase inhibitors to abrogate the influence of p21(ras)-related proteins. Thus, even if PtdIns 3-kinase is not activated by p21(ras), it can maintain full enzyme activity due to the mentioned interaction with p58(c-fgr) or p59/61(hck). These tyrosine kinases apparently activate similar pathways that operate in parallel and therefore have the potential to substitute for each other in mediating adhesion and regulating cell locomotion. 相似文献
