Signal-induced proliferation, differentiation, or stress responses of cells depend on mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades, the core modules of which consist of members of three successively acting kinase families (MAPK kinase kinase [MAP3K], MAPK kinase, and MAPK). It is demonstrated here that the MEKK3 kinase inhibits cell proliferation, a biologic response not commonly associated with members of the MAP3K family of kinases. A conditionally activated form of MEKK3 stably expressed in fibroblasts arrests these cells in early G1. MEKK3 critically blocks mitogen-driven expression of cyclin D1, a cyclin which is essential for progression of fibroblasts through G1. The MEKK3-induced block of cyclin D1 expression and of cell cycle progression may be mediated via p38 MAPK, a downstream effector of MEKK3. The MEKK3-mediated block of proliferation also reverses Ras-induced cellular transformation, suggesting possible tumor-suppressing functions for this kinase. Together, these results suggest an involvement of the MEKK3 kinase in negative regulation of cell cycle progression, and they provide the first insights into biologic activities of this kinase. 相似文献

Phosphorylation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) on tyrosine 845 by c-Src has been shown to be important for cell proliferation and migration in several model systems. This cross talk between EGFR and Src family kinases (SFKs) is one mechanism for resistance to EGFR inhibitors both in cell models and in the clinic. Here, we show that phosphorylation of tyrosine 845 on EGFR is required for proliferation and transformation using several cell models of breast cancer. Overexpression of EGFR-Y845F or treating cells with the SFK inhibitor dasatinib abrogated tyrosine 845 phosphorylation, yet had little to no effect on other EGFR phosphorylation sites or EGFR kinase activity. Abrogation of Y845 phosphorylation inhibited cell proliferation and transformation, even though extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and Akt remained active under these conditions. Importantly, cotransfection of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) kinase 3 and p38 MAPK restored cell proliferation in the absence of EGFR tyrosine 845 phosphorylation. Taken together, these data demonstrate a novel role for p38 MAPK signaling downstream of EGFR tyrosine 845 phosphorylation in the regulation of breast cancer cell proliferation and transformation and implicate SFK inhibitors as a potential therapeutic mechanism for overcoming EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor resistance in breast cancer. 相似文献

Activation and Function of the MAPKs and Their Substrates, the MAPK-Activated Protein Kinases 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Summary: The mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) regulate diverse cellular programs by relaying extracellular signals to intracellular responses. In mammals, there are more than a dozen MAPK enzymes that coordinately regulate cell proliferation, differentiation, motility, and survival. The best known are the conventional MAPKs, which include the extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2), c-Jun amino-terminal kinases 1 to 3 (JNK1 to -3), p38 (α, β, γ, and δ), and ERK5 families. There are additional, atypical MAPK enzymes, including ERK3/4, ERK7/8, and Nemo-like kinase (NLK), which have distinct regulation and functions. Together, the MAPKs regulate a large number of substrates, including members of a family of protein Ser/Thr kinases termed MAPK-activated protein kinases (MAPKAPKs). The MAPKAPKs are related enzymes that respond to extracellular stimulation through direct MAPK-dependent activation loop phosphorylation and kinase activation. There are five MAPKAPK subfamilies: the p90 ribosomal S6 kinase (RSK), the mitogen- and stress-activated kinase (MSK), the MAPK-interacting kinase (MNK), the MAPK-activated protein kinase 2/3 (MK2/3), and MK5 (also known as p38-regulated/activated protein kinase [PRAK]). These enzymes have diverse biological functions, including regulation of nucleosome and gene expression, mRNA stability and translation, and cell proliferation and survival. Here we review the mechanisms of MAPKAPK activation by the different MAPKs and discuss their physiological roles based on established substrates and recent discoveries. 相似文献

Downstream A3 receptor signalling plays an important role in the regulation of cell death and proliferation. Therefore, it is important to determine the molecular pathways involved through A3 receptor stimulation. The phosphatidylinositide-3-OH kinase (PI3K)/Akt and the Raf/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK/ERK) kinase (MEK)/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways have central roles in the regulation of cell survival and proliferation. The crosstalk between these two pathways has also been investigated. The focus of this review centres on downstream mediators of A3 adenosine receptor signalling. 相似文献

Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) kinase (MEK) kinases (MEKKs) are serine/threonine kinases that are upstream regulators of MAPKs. Here, the role of the amino-terminal (N-terminal) domain of MEKK1-4 on the regulation of different intracellular signaling pathways, apoptosis, and cell proliferation has been assessed by comparing the responses induced by the full-length (FL) MEKKs to those induced by the kinase domains only. For each MEKK, the pattern of activation of NF kappa B, the ERK MAPK pathway, and the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) MAPK pathway markedly differed between the kinase domain and the FL form. Similarly, cell proliferation and apoptosis were differently regulated by the FL MEKK and the corresponding kinase domain. Our data show that the N-terminal domain of the MEKKs determines the specificity and the strength of activation of various intracellular signaling pathways and cellular responses. 相似文献

Mitogen-activated protein kinase cascade is evolutionarily conserved signal transduction module involved in transducing extracellular signals to the nucleus for appropriate cellular adjustment. This cascade consists essentially of three components, a MAPK kinase kinase (MAPKKK), a MAPK kinase (MAPKK) and a MAPK connected to each other by the event of phosphorylation. These kinases play various roles in intra- and extra-cellular signaling in plants by transferring the information from sensors to responses. Signaling through MAP kinase cascade can lead to cellular responses including cell division, differentiation as well as responses to various stresses. MAPK signaling has also been associated with hormonal responses. In plants, MAP kinases are represented by multigene families and are involved in efficient transmission of specific stimuli and also involved in the regulation of the antioxidant defense system in response to stress signaling. In the current review we summarize and investigate the participation of MAPKs as possible mediators of various abiotic stresses in plants.Key words: abiotic stress, cross talk, mitogen-activated protein kinases, heat map, MAPK signaling, signal transduction, stress signaling 相似文献

Involvement of mitogen-activated protein kinase cascade during oocyte maturation and fertilization in mammals 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) is a family of Ser/Thr protein kinases that are widely distributed in eukaryotic cells. Studies in the last decade revealed that MAPK cascade plays pivotal roles in regulating the meiotic cell cycle progression of oocytes. In mammalian species, activation of MAPK in cumulus cells is necessary for gonadotropin-induced meiotic resumption of oocytes, while MAPK activation is not required for spontaneous meiotic resumption. After germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD), MAPK is involved in the regulation of microtubule organization and meiotic spindle assembly. The activation of this kinase is essential for the maintenance of metaphase II arrest, while its inactivation is a prerequisite for pronuclear formation after fertilization or parthenogenetic activation. MAPK cascade interacts extensively with other protein kinases such as maturation-promoting factor, protein kinase A, protein kinase C, and calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II, as well as with protein phosphatases in oocyte meiotic cell cycle regulation. The cross talk between MAPK cascade and other protein kinases is discussed. The review also addresses unsolved problems and discusses future directions. 相似文献

Involvement of 3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase-1 in the MEK/MAPK signal transduction pathway 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
The phosphatidylinositide-3-OH kinase/3-phospho-inositide-dependent protein kinase-1 (PDK1)/Akt and the Raf/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK/ERK) kinase (MEK)/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways have central roles in the regulation of cell survival and proliferation. Despite their importance, however, the cross-talk between these two pathways has not been fully understood. Here we report that PDK1 promotes MAPK activation in a MEK-dependent manner. In vitro kinase assay revealed that the direct targets of PDK1 in the MAPK pathway were the upstream MAPK kinases MEK1 and MEK2. The identified PDK1 phosphorylation sites in MEK1 and MEK2 are Ser222 and Ser226, respectively, and are known to be essential for full activation. To date, these sites are thought to be phosphorylated by Raf kinases. However, PDK1 gene silencing using small interference RNA demonstrates that PDK1 is associated with maintaining the steady-state phosphorylated MEK level and cell growth. The small interference RNA-mediated down-regulation of PDK1 attenuated maximum MEK and MAPK activities but could not prolong MAPK signaling duration. Stable and transient expression of constitutively active MEK1 overcame these effects. Our results suggest a novel cross-talk between the phosphatidylinositide-3-OH kinase/PDK1/Akt pathway and the Raf/MEK/MAPK pathway. 相似文献

Regulation of proliferation and differentiation in keratinocyte is a complex and dynamic process that involves activation of multiple signaling pathways triggered by different growth factors. Keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) is not only a potent mitogen, but differently from other growth factors, is a potent inducer of differentiation. The MAP kinase and AKT pathways are involved in proliferation and differentiation of many cell types including keratinocytes. We investigated here the role of KGF in modulating AKT and MAPK activity during differentiation of human keratinocytes. Our results show that the mechanisms of action of KGF are dose-dependent and that a sustained activation of the MAPK signaling cascade causes a negative regulation of AKT. We also demostrated increasing expression of KGFR substrates, such as PAK4 during keratinocyte differentiation parallel to the receptor upregulation. 相似文献

Using a T cell clone (2D6) capable of responding to IL-2 and IL-12, we compared the effects of NAC on IL-2 and IL-12-driven T cell proliferation. Addition of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) to 2D6 cultures did not affect IL-2 stimulated proliferation, but strikingly inhibited IL-12 stimulated proliferation. These differential NAC effects did not correlate with the patterns of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation following cytokine stimulation and its regulation by NAC. Although a p38 MAPK inhibitor downregulated both IL-2- and IL-12-induced proliferation, this effect was seen at drug concentrations one order higher than those reportedly used to specifically inhibit p38 MAPK. The results suggest the existence of distinct signalling pathways and a common, indispensable signalling molecule in IL-2- and IL-12 driven T cell proliferation. 相似文献

Zinc is an essential nutrient with remarkable importance for immunity, in particular for T-cell function. This is, at least in part, based on an involvement of zinc ions in immune cell signal transduction; dynamic changes of the intracellular free zinc concentration have recently been recognized as signaling events. Because the molecular targets of zinc signals remain incompletely understood, we investigated the impact of elevated intracellular free zinc on mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activity and MAPK-dependent cytokine production in human T-cells. p38 was activated by treatment with zinc and the ionophore pyrithione, whereas ERK1/2 and c-Jun N-terminal kinases were unaffected. In contrast, after T-cell receptor stimulation with antibodies against CD3, ERK1/2-phosphorylation was selectively suppressed by intracellular zinc. Mechanisms that had been shown to mediate zinc-effects in other cells, such as activation of the Src kinase Lck, inhibition of the protein tyrosine phosphatase CD45 or MAPK phosphatases and cyclic nucleotide/protein kinase A signaling were not involved. This indicates that the differential impact of zinc on the MAPK families in T-cells is mediated by mechanisms that differ from the ones observed in other cell types. Further investigation of the activation of p38 by zinc demonstrated that this MAPK is responsible for the zinc-mediated activation of CREB and mRNA expression of the Th1 cytokines interferon-gamma and interleukin-2. In conclusion, regulation of MAPK activity contributes to the impact of zinc on T-cell function. 相似文献

Interactions between Eph receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) and membrane-anchored ephrin ligands critically regulate axon pathfinding and development of the cardiovascular system, as well as migration of neural cells. Similar to other RTKs, ligand-activated Eph kinases recruit multiple signalling and adaptor proteins, several of which are involved in growth regulation. However, in contrast to other RTKs, activation of Eph receptors fails to promote cell proliferation or to transform rodent fibroblasts, indicating that Eph kinases may initiate signalling pathways that are distinct from those transmitted by other RTKs. Here we show that stimulation of endogenous EphA kinases with ephrin-A1 potently inhibits the Ras/MAPK cascade in a range of cell types, and attenuates activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) by receptors for platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), epidermal growth factor (EGF) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). In prostatic epithelial cells and endothelial cells, but not fibroblasts, treatment with ephrin-A1 inhibits cell proliferation. Our results identify EphA kinases as negative regulators of the Ras/MAPK pathway that exert anti-mitogenic functions in a cell-type-specific manner. 相似文献

PTTG1, a securin protein, also behaves as a transforming gene and is overexpressed in pituitary tumors. Because pituitary folliculostellate (FS) cells regulate pituitary tumor growth factors by paracrine mechanisms, epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor (EGFR)-mediated PTTG1 expression and cell proliferation was tested in pituitary FS TtT/GF cells. EGFR ligands caused up to 3-fold induction of Pttg1 mRNA expression, enhanced proliferating cell nuclear antigen, and increased entry of G0/1-arrested cells into S-phase. PTTG binding factor mRNA expression was not altered. EGF-induced Pttg1 expression and cell proliferation was abolished by preincubation of TtT/GF cells with EGFR inhibitors AG1478 and gefitinib. Phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase, protein kinase C, and MAPK, but not c-Jun N-terminal kinase and Janus activating kinase signaling regulated EGF-induced Pttg1, as well as proliferating cell nuclear antigen mRNA expression and entry into S-phase. EGF-induced EGFR and ERK1/2 phosphorylation was followed by rapid MAPK kinase/ERK kinase-dependent activation of Elk-1 and c-Fos. EGF-induced Pttg1 expression peaked at the S-G2 transition and declined thereafter. Pttg1 cell cycle dependency was confirmed by suppression of EGF-induced Pttg1 mRNA by blockade of cells in early S-phase. The results show that PTTG1 and its binding protein PTTG binding factor are expressed in pituitary FS TtT/GF cells. EGFR ligands induce PTTG1 and regulate S-phase, mediated by phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase, protein kinase C, and MAPK pathways. PTTG1 is therefore a target for EGFR-mediated paracrine regulation of pituitary cell growth. 相似文献

Endogenous production of nitric oxide by vascular endothelial growth factor down-regulates proliferation of choriocarcinoma cells 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8

The trophoblast-like choriocarcinoma cell line BeWo expresses a receptor for vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and proliferates in response to VEGF. Nitric oxide (NO) seems to play a key role in the VEGF-induced proliferation of endothelial cells but the NO mechanistic regulation of VEGF-stimulated trophoblast proliferation is presently unclear. We assessed the effect of exogenous VEGF on BeWo cell proliferation by [3H]thymidine incorporation. The VEGF-induced proliferation of BeWo cells was significantly increased by the NO synthase (NOS) inhibitor, N(omega)-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME), but was inhibited by the NO donor, sodium nitroprusside. Treatment of the cells with 10 ng/ml of VEGF increased not only eNOS expression but also NO production. The extracellular signal-regulated kinase (Erk) of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family was activated by VEGF as demonstrated by the phosphorylation of Erk in Western blots. The effects of VEGF on NO production and the expression of endothelial NOS (eNOS) were attenuated by treating BeWo cells with the selective inhibitor of MAPK kinase, PD98059. VEGF-stimulated proliferation of BeWo cells was inhibited by the tyrosine kinase inhibitor genistein but increased by PD98059. Other kinase inhibitors, including LY294002 (phosphoinositide 3-kinase inhibitor) and SB203580 (P38 MAPK inhibitor), had no effect on the proliferation of the cells and NO production. These results indicate that endogenous NO production down-regulates the VEGF-stimulated proliferation of BeWo cells and that the activation of Erk plays an important role in this mechanism. 相似文献
