Fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFR) are widely expressed in many tissues and cell types, and the temporal expression of these receptors and their ligands play important roles in the control of development. There are four FGFR family members, FGFR-1-4, and understanding the ability of these receptors to transduce signals is central to understanding how they function in controlling differentiation and development. We have utilized signal transduction by FGF-1 in PC12 cells to compare the ability of FGFR-1 and FGFR-3 to elicit the neuronal phenotype. In PC12 cells FGFR-1 is much more potent in the induction of neurite outgrowth than FGFR-3. This correlated with the ability of FGFR-1 to induce robust and sustained activation of the Ras-dependent mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways. In contrast, FGFR-3 could not induce strong sustained Ras-dependent signals. In this study, we analyzed the ability of FGFR-3 to induce the expression of sodium channels, peripherin, and Thy-1 in PC12 cells because all three of these proteins are known to be induced via Ras-independent pathways. We determined that FGFR-3 was capable of inducing several Ras-independent gene expression pathways important to the neuronal phenotype to a level equivalent of that induced by FGFR-1. Thus, FGFR-3 elicits phenotypic changes primarily though activation of Ras-independent pathways in the absence of robust Ras-dependent signals. 相似文献

The mechanism by which ligand binding to the T-cell antigen receptor triggers the T-cell activation program has long been one of the most fascinating questions in lymphocyte biology. Here, we review recent insights into the transmembrane signaling functions of this multisubunit receptor complex. 相似文献

In cultured vascular smooth muscle cells, the angiotensin II (AngII) type-1 (AT(1)) receptor generates growth-promoting signals via the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor system. This 'transactivation' mechanism now appears to be utilized by a variety of G-protein-coupled receptors in many cells. The AngII-induced EGF receptor transactivation leads to activation of downstream signaling molecules including Ras, ERK, c-fos, Akt/protein kinase B, and p70 S6 kinase. We propose three possible mechanisms may be involved in the transactivation, (i) an upstream tyrosine kinase, (ii) reactive oxygen species, and (iii) a juxtacrine activation of the EGF receptor ligand. Whether the EGF receptor signal transduction induced by AngII plays an essential role in cardiovascular remodeling remains to be investigated. 相似文献

The photocontrol of chalcone synthase gene expression was studied by means of promoter analyses, in vitro systems, photoreceptor mutants and microinjections, and pharmacological approaches. A 52 bp element of the promoter is necessary and sufficient to transfer light regulation. Chalcone synthase expression is primarily under the control of phyA and blue/UV photo receptors; the latter are functional even in the absence of phyA and phyB. Phytochromes seem to be soluble proteins and, within seconds of irradiation, light-dependent phosphorrylations were observed in membrane-depleted cytosol preparations, indicating very early processes of signal transduction. Microinjection and pharmacological experiments reveal that, in the phyA pathway, heterotrimeric G-proteins, cGMP and a genistein-sensitive protein kinase are involved, whereas the UV pathway includes several trimeric G-proteins and Ca/calmodulin-dependent steps. 相似文献

During cell signalling, information that is encoded by ligands travels from one place, the source, to another, the target, where signals are transduced by receptors. Evidence has emerged recently that uncovers a role for the endocytic pathway in the secretion of ligands at the source, their dispersion through developing target tissues and the transduction of the signals from endocytic compartments. As a result, endosomes have become the focus of attention in cell-cell communication studies. 相似文献

Signal transduction via the growth hormone receptor 总被引:18,自引:0,他引:18
Rapid progress has been made recently in the definition of growth hormone (GH) receptor signal transduction pathways. It is now apparent that many cytokines, including GH, share identical or similar signalling components to exert their cellular effects. This review provides a brief discourse on the signal transduction pathways, which have been demonstrated to be utilized by GH. The identification of such pathways provides a basis for understanding the pleiotropic actions of GH. The mechanisms by which the specific cellular effects of GH are achieved remain to be elucidated. 相似文献

The extracellular matrix ligands fibronectin and tenascin collaborate in regulating collagenase gene expression in fibroblasts. 总被引:19,自引:1,他引:19

Tenascin (TN) is a large oligomeric glycoprotein that is present transiently in the extracellular matrix (ECM) of cells and is involved in morphogenetic movements, tissue patterning, and tissue repair. It has multiple domains, both adhesive and anti-adhesive, that interact with cells and with fibronectin (FN) and other ECM macromolecules. We have studied the consequences of the interaction of TN with a FN matrix on gene expression in rabbit synovial fibroblasts. Fibroblasts plated on a mixed substrate of FN and TN, but not on FN alone, upregulated synthesis of four genes: collagenase, stromelysin, the 92-kDa gelatinase, and c-fos. Although the fibroblasts spread well on both FN and FN/TN substrates, nuclear c-Fos increased within 1 h only in cells that were plated on FN/TN. TN did not induce the expression of collagenase in cells plated on substrates of type I collagen or vitronectin (VN). Moreover, soluble TN added to cells adhering to a FN substrate or to serum proteins had no effect, suggesting that TN has an effect only in the context of mixed substrates of FN and TN. Collagenase increased within 4 h of plating on a FN/TN substrate and exhibited kinetics similar to those for induction of collagenase gene expression by signaling through the integrin FN receptor. Arg-Gly-Asp peptide ligands that recognize either the FN receptor or the VN receptor and function-perturbing anti-integrin monoclonal antibodies diminished the interaction of fibroblasts with a mixed substrate of FN, TN, and VN, but had no effect on the adhesion of fibroblasts to a substrate of FN and VN, suggesting that both receptors recognize the complex. Anti-TN68, an antibody that recognizes an epitope in the carboxyl-terminal type III repeats involved in the interaction of TN with both FN and cells, blocked the inductive effect of the FN/TN substrate, whereas anti-TNM1, an antibody that recognizes an epitope in the amino-terminal anti-adhesive region of epidermal growth factor-like repeats, had no effect. These data suggest that transient alteration of the composition of ECM by addition of proteins like TN may regulate the expression of genes involved in cell migration, tissue remodeling, and tissue invasion, in regions of tissue undergoing phenotypic changes. 相似文献
