We have analysed the effect of mitogenic lectins on c-Fos and c-Jun protein levels as well as on activator protein-1 (AP-1) binding and enhancer activity in Jurkat T-cells. Both c-Fos and c-Jun protein levels were increased after Con A and PHA stimulation. Since T-cell stimulation increases both intracellular Ca2+ and cAMP levels and activates protein kinase C (PKC), the possible involvement of these intracellular messengers in c-Fos and c-Jun induction was tested. PMA, which directly activates PKC, mimicked the effect of the lectins on c-Fos and c-Jun, but elevation of either intracellular Ca2+ or cAMP levels had little or no effect. The mitogen-induced increase of c-Fos and c-Jun immunoreactivity was inhibited by H-7, a kinase inhibitor with relatively high specificity for PKC, and less efficiently by H-8, a structurally related kinase inhibitor less active on PKC, but more active on cyclic nucleotide-dependent kinases. Con A stimulation was found to increase both binding of AP-1 to the AP-1 consensus sequence, TRE, and AP-1 enhancer activity, in Jurkat cells. PMA was also found to increase the AP-1 enhancer activity, whereas elevation of Ca2+ or cAMP had only minor effects. We conclude that stimulation with mitogenic lectins is sufficient to increase both c-Fos and c-Jun protein levels, AP-1 binding and AP-1 enhancer activity in Jurkat cells and that they act via mechanisms that could involve the activation of PKC. 相似文献

Emerging evidence has suggested a critical role for activator protein-1 (AP)-1 in regulating various cellular functions. The goal of this study was to investigate the effects of Helicobacter pylori and mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) on AP-1 subcomponents expression and AP-1 DNA-binding activity in gastric epithelial cells. We found that H. pylori infection resulted in a time- and dose-dependent increase in the expression of the proteins c-Jun, JunB, JunD, Fra-1, and c-Fos, which make up the major AP-1 DNA-binding proteins in AGS and MKN45 cells, while the expression levels of Fra-2 and FosB remained unchanged. Helicobacter pylori infection and MAPK inhibition altered AP-1 subcomponent protein expression and AP-1 DNA-binding activity, but did not change the overall subcomponent composition. Different clinical isolates of H. pylori showed various abilities to induce AP-1 DNA binding. Mutation of cagA, cagPAI, or vacA, and the nonphosphorylateable CagA mutant (cagA(EPISA)) resulted in less H. pylori-induced AP-1 DNA-binding activity, while mutation of the H. pylori flagella had no effect. extracellular signal-related kinase (ERK), p38, and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) each selectively regulated AP-1 subcomponent expression and DNA-binding activity. These results provide more insight into how H. pylori and MAPK modulate AP-1 subcomponents in gastric epithelial cells to alter the expression of downstream target genes and affect cellular functions. 相似文献
