Mixed lineage kinase 3 inhibits phorbol myristoyl acetate-induced DNA synthesis but not osteopontin expression in rat mesangial cells

Mixed lineage kinase 3 (MLK 3) (also called SPRK or PTK-1) is a recently described member of the family of the mixed lineage kinase subfamily of Ser/Thr protein kinases that interacts with mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways. In order to test the biological relevance and potential interaction of MLK 3 with protein kinase C-mediated signaling pathways, human MLK 3 was stably expressed in rat glomerular mesangial cells using a retroviral vector (LXSN) and the effects of phorbol myristoyl acetate (PMA) on DNA synthesis and osteopontin mRNA expression were examined. In control (vector-transfected) mesangial cells PMA increased [³H]-thymidine incorporation in a concentration-dependent manner. In mesangial cells stably expressing MLK 3, the PMA-induced increase in [³H]-thymidine incorporation was significantly reduced (> 50%). However, the PMA-induced increase in osteopontin mRNA was not affected by MLK 3 expression. To determine the mechanisms of these effects, activation of ERK2, JNK1 and p38 in response to PMA was examined in both vector and MLK 3 transfected cells. ERK2 activation was increased several fold by PMA in control cells but was attenuated significantly in MLK 3 expressing cells, suggesting that MLK 3 expression in mesangial cells can negatively regulate the ERK pathway. PMA had no significant effect on JNK and P38 activation, in either vector- or MLK 3-expressing cells. PD98059, a MEK inhibitor blocked PMA-induced DNA synthesis without affecting osteopontin expression. These results suggest that while protein kinase C activation increases cellular proliferation and osteopontin mRNA expression, over-expression of MLK 3 affects only the PKC-induced DNA synthesis, probably through inhibition of ERK. These results also indicate a novel mechanism of growth regulation by a member of the mixed-lineage kinase family that might have significant therapeutic implications in proliferative glomerulonephritis.     

Calcium ionophore A23187 reveals calcium related cellular stress as "I-Bodies": an old actor in a new role

Calcimycin (A23187) is an ionophore widely used in studies related to calcium dynamics in cells, but its fluorometric potential to reveal intracellular physiology has not been explored. Exploiting the microenvironment-induced changes in its fluorescence, we show that a brief exposure of cells to non-toxic concentrations (≤3 μM) of the ionophore results in the characteristic organization of the ionophore forming brightly fluorescent cytoplasmic bodies termed “I-Bodies”, which are closely related to stress linked disturbances/changes in calcium homeostasis. “I-Bodies” appear to be Ca²⁺ rich intracellular sites formed during stress-induced release of intracellular Ca²⁺, causing dysfunction and aggregation of mitochondria, providing scaffold for high density packing of A23187. Formation of “I-Bodies” in cells exposed to ionizing radiation and certain anticancer drugs suggest their potential in revealing alterations in calcium signaling and mitochondrial function during (related to) macromolecular damage-induced cell death. The absence of “I-Bodies” in non-malignant cells and their varying numbers in malignant cells with 5 fold increase in fluorescence imply that they can be potential biomarkers of cancer. Thus, “I-Bodies” are novel indicators of endogenous and induced stress linked to disturbances in calcium homeostasis in cells, with a potential to serve as biomarker of cancer.     

Zinc deficiency in rats decreases thrombin-stimulated platelet aggregation by lowering protein kinase C activity secondary to impaired calcium uptake

Aggregation of rat platelets, when stimulated by adenosine diphosphate (ADP) or fluoride, is impaired by zinc deficiency, and the defect is associated with a decreased uptake of external Ca²⁺. Zinc deficiency also impairs the aggregatory response of platelets to phorbol myristate acetate (PMA), an activator of protein kinase C, but low zinc status decreases the PMA response only when calcium is added to the external medium. The purpose of this study was to determine the role of protein kinase C in rat platelet function and its relationship to the zinc deficiency pathology observed in platelets stimulated by thrombin (THR). The percent of maximal aggregation and the concentration of cytosolic-free Ca²⁺ were measured in washed platelets stimulated by THR and PMA. For the protein kinase C experiments platelets were obtained from rats fed a grain-based diet, and for the thrombin experiments they were from rats fed purified diets. In the latter experiments, immature male rats were fed for 2 weeks a low zinc diet (<1 mg/kg) ad libitum or a zinc adequate (100 mg/kg) diet either ad libitum or pair-fed. Zinc deficiency impaired the aggregation of platelets stimulated by 0.045 U/mL of THR by approximately 40%, and the external calcium uptake (0.03 U/mL of THR) was decreased by approximately 30%. Staurosporine, a protein kinase C inhibitor, decreased thrombin-induced aggregation in a concentration-dependent manner, but it had no effect on the external calcium uptake. While PMA had a synergistic effect with thrombin in the stimulation of platelet aggregation, it actually decreased the cytosolic-free calcium response to thrombin. It is concluded that zinc deficiency impairs thrombin-stimulated platelet aggregation and calcium uptake and that protein kinase C activity is essential for rat platelet aggregation. Protein kinase C does not stimulate calcium uptake and must act downstream of the calcium uptake defect. A model of rat platelet activation is presented depicting impaired Ca²⁺ uptake as the primary defect in zinc deficiency.     

Phosphorylation Sites Within α4 Subunits of α4β2 Neuronal Nicotinic Receptors: A Comparison of Substrate Specificities for cAMP-Dependent Protein Kinase (PKA) and Protein Kinase C (PKC)

The present study determined whether putative phosphorylation sites within the M3/M4 cytoplasmic domain of the human 4 subunit of 42 neuronal nicotinic receptors are substrates for cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) or protein kinase C (PKC). Five peptides corresponding to predicted phosphorylation sequences were synthesized, and phosphorylation was compared with standard peptide substrates for each kinase, that is, Kemptide for PKA and glycogen synthase (GS) 1-8 for PKC. VRCRSRSI had the highest affinity for PKA, with a Km of 44.5 M; Kemptide had a Km of 7.7 M. LMKRPSVVK and KARSLSVQH were also phosphorylated by PKA, but had lower affinities of 593 M and 2896 M, respectively. LMKRPSVVK had the highest affinity for PKC with a Km of 182 M; GS 1–8 had a Km of 2.1 M. VRCRSRSI had a comparative affinity for PKC with a Km of 327 M. PCKCTCKK was not phosphorylated by PKA, but was a substrate for PKC with a Km of 1392 M, whereas PGPSCKSP was not phosphorylated by either kinase. Based on these findings, results suggest that Ser-362 and Ser-486 on the human 4 subunit may be phosphorylated by either PKA or PKC, Ser-467 is a putative PKA site, and Thr-532 represents a likely PKC substrate; Ser-421 does not appear to be phosphorylated by either kinase.     

Phosphorylation of vinculin in human platelets spreading on a solid surface.

Vinculin is a cytoskeletal protein believed to be involved in linking microfilaments to the cell membrane. It is a substrate for the Ca(2+)- and phospholipid-dependent protein kinase C. We show here that when human platelets attach and spread on a solid surface, the alpha isoforms of vinculin become phosphorylated at serine and/or threonine residues. Phosphorylation is dependent on adhesion to a surface, since suspended, unattached platelets can produce filopodia but no phosphorylation of vinculin. Phosphorylation is also dependent on actin polymerization, as it does not occur when platelets had been pretreated with cytochalasin B. Most likely, protein kinase C is responsible for the phosphorylation of vinculin, since phosphorylation also occurs when platelets are treated with a phorbol ester, which activates protein kinase C, and is blocked by treatment with a staurosporine derivative which inhibits this enzyme. These results suggest that phosphorylation plays a role in anchoring vinculin at sites of microfilament-membrane interaction.     

Cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) phosphorylates Ser362 and 467 and protein kinase C phosphorylates Ser550 within the M3/M4 cytoplasmic domain of human nicotinic receptor alpha4 subunits

Studies have suggested that the expression, translocation, and function of alpha4beta2 nicotinic receptors may be modulated by alpha4 subunit phosphorylation, but little direct evidence exists to support this idea. The objective of these experiments was to identify specific serine/threonine residues on alpha4 subunits that are phosphorylated in vivo by cAMP-dependent protein kinase and protein kinase C (PKC). To accomplish this, DNAs coding for human alpha4 subunits containing alanines in place of serines/threonines predicted to represent phosphorylation sites were constructed, and transiently transfected with the DNA coding for wild-type beta2 subunits into SH-EP1 cells. Cells were pre-incubated with (32)Pi and incubated in the absence or presence of forskolin or phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate. Immunoprecipitated alpha4 subunits were subjected to immunoblot, autoradiographic and phosphoamino acid analyses, and two-dimensional phosphopeptide mapping. Results confirmed the presence of two alpha4 protein bands, a major band of 71/75 kDa and a minor band of 80/85 kDa. Phosphoamino acid analysis of the major band indicated that only serine residues were phosphorylated. Phosphopeptide maps demonstrated that Ser362 and 467 on the M3/M4 cytoplasmic domain of the alpha4 subunit represent major cAMP-dependent protein kinase phosphorylation sites, while Ser550 also contained within this major intracellular loop is a major site for protein kinase C phosphorylation.     

Progesterone triggers rapid transmembrane calcium influx and/or calcium mobilization from endoplasmic reticulum,via a pertussis-insensitive G-protein in granulosa cells in relation to luteinization process

We investigated the early effects (5–60 s) of progesterone (1 pM–0.1 μM) on cytosolic free calcium concentration ([Ca²⁺]_i) and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP₃) formation in nonluteinized and in vitro luteinized porcine granulosa cells (pGCs). Progesterone increased [Ca²⁺]_i and InsP₃ formation within 5 s in both cell types. Progesterone induced calcium mobilization from the endoplasmic reticulum via the activation of a phospholipase C linked to a pertussis-insensitive G-protein. This process was controlled by protein kinases C and A. In contrast, only nonluteinized pGCs showed a Ca²⁺ influx via dihydropyridine-insensitive calcium channel. In both cell types, the nuclear progesterone receptor antagonist RU-38486 did not inhibit the progesterone-induced increase in [Ca²⁺]_i; progesterone immobilized on bovine serum albumin, which did not enter the cell, increased [Ca²⁺]_i within 5 s and was a full agonist, but less potent than the free progesterone; pertussis toxin did not inhibit progesterone effect on InsP₃. In conclusion, progesterone may interact with membrane unconventional receptors that belong to the class of membrane receptors coupled to a phospholipase C via a pertussis toxin-insensitive G-protein. The source of the Ca²⁺ for the progesterone-induced increase in [Ca²⁺]_i also depends on the stage of cell luteinization. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
