The effect of a temporal gradient in shear and steady shear on the activity of extracellular signal-regulated protein kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/ERK2), c-fos, and connexin43 (Cx43) in human endothelial cells was investigated. Three laminar flow profiles (16 dyn/cm(2)), including impulse flow (shear stress abruptly applied for 3 s), ramp flow (shear stress smoothly transitioned at flow onset), and step flow (shear stress abruptly applied at flow onset) were utilized. Relative to static controls, impulse flow stimulated the phosphorylation of ERK1/ERK2 8.5- to 7.5-fold, respectively at 10 min, as well as the mRNA expression of c-fos 51-fold at 30 min, and Cx43 8-fold at 90 min. These high levels of mRNA expression were sustained for at least 4 h. In contrast, ramp flow was unable to significantly induce gene expression and even inhibited the activation of ERK1/ERK2. Step flow, which contains both a sharp temporal gradient in shear stress and a steady shear component, elicited only moderate and transient responses, indicating the distinct role of these fluid shear stimuli in endothelial signal transduction. The specific inhibitor of mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase PD-98059 inhibited impulse flow-induced c-fos and Cx43 mRNA expression. Thus these findings implicate the involvement of ERK1/ERK2, c-fos, and Cx43 in the signaling pathway induced by the temporal gradient in shear. 相似文献

Protein kinase D (PKD) potentiates cellular DNA synthesis in response to G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) agonists but the mechanism(s) involved has not been elucidated. Here, we examined whether PKD overexpression in Swiss 3T3 cells regulates the activation/inactivation kinetics of the extracellular-regulated protein kinase (ERK) in response to the mitogenic GPCR agonists bombesin and vasopressin. Addition of bombesin or vasopressin to Swiss 3T3 cells overexpressing PKD induced a striking increase in the duration of MEK/ERK/RSK activation as compared with cultures of either control Swiss 3T3 cells or Swiss 3T3 cells expressing a kinase-inactive PKD mutant. In contrast, the duration of ERK activation in response to epidermal growth factor, which acts via protein kinase C/PKD-independent pathways, was not increased. Furthermore, bombesin or vasopressin promoted a striking increase in phosphorylation (at Ser-374) and accumulation of c-Fos (the c-fos proto-oncogene product) in Swiss 3T3 cells overexpressing wild-type (but not kinase-inactive) PKD. Inhibition of the sustained phase of ERK/RSK activation abrogated the increase in c-Fos accumulation and DNA synthesis induced by bombesin or vasopressin in PKD-overexpressing cells. Our results demonstrate that PKD selectively potentiates mitogenesis induced by bombesin or vasopressin in Swiss 3T3 cells by increasing the duration of MEK/ERK/RSK signaling. 相似文献

We examined the signalling pathways responsible for the Ang II induction of growth in MCF-7 human breast cancer cells. Ang II in MCF-7 cells induced: (a) the translocation from the cytosol to membrane and nucleus of atypical protein kinase C-zeta (PKC-zeta) but not of PKC-alpha, -delta, - epsilon and -eta; (b) the expression of c-fos mRNA and protein; (c) the phosphorylation of the extracellular signal-regulated protein kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2). All these effects were due to the activation of the Ang II type I receptor (AT1) since they were blocked by the AT1 antagonist losartan. The Ang II-stimulated ERK1/2 phosphorylation was blocked by (a) high doses of staurosporine, inhibitor of PKC-zeta, and by a synthetic myristoylated peptide with sequences based on the endogenous PKC-zeta pseudosubstrate region (zeta-PS); (b) PD098059, a mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase inhibitor (MAPKK/MEK); and, moreover, (c) the inhibitors of phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3K), LY294002 and wortmannin, thus indicating that PI3K may act upstream of ERK1/2. The Ang II-evoked c-fos induction was blocked only by high doses of staurosporine and by zeta-PS whilst PD098059, LY294002 and wortmannin were ineffective, thus indicating that c-fos induction is not due to ERK1/2 activity. When the epidermal growth factor-receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase activity was inhibited by the use of its inhibitor AG1478, Ang II was still able to induce ERK1/2 phosphorylation and c-fos expression, therefore proving that the transactivation of EGFR was not required for these Ang II effects in MCF-7 cells. The previously reported proliferation of MCF-7 cells induced by Ang II was blocked by PD098059 and by wortmannin in a dose-dependent manner, thereby indicating that in MCF-7 cells the PI3K and ERK pathways mediate the mitogenic signalling of AT1. Our results suggest that in MCF-7 cells Ang II activates multiple signalling pathways involving PKC-zeta, PI3K and MAPK; of these pathways only PKC-zeta appears responsible for the induction of c-fos. 相似文献

The effects of P2Y2 purinoceptor activation on c-Fos expression and the signaling pathways evoked by extracellular ATP/UTP in HeLa cells were investigated. We found that P2Y2 activation induced c-Fos protein and phosphorylated the extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2). The P2Y2-stimulated c-Fos induction was partly blocked (a) by U73122, a phospholipase C inhibitor, (b) by G?6976, a conventional PKC inhibitor, (c) by PD098059, a mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase inhibitor, and, moreover, (d) by the inhibitors of phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3K), LY294002 and wortmannin. When G?6976 and PD098059, or G?6976 and wortmannin, were combined there was a totally inhibition of P2Y2-induced c-Fos increase. Either U73122 or G?6976 did not inhibit ERK1/2 phosphorylation induced by ATP/UTP, while it was inhibited by LY294002 (or wortmannin) and by staurosporine. Additionally, wortmannin inhibited the cytosol-to-membrane translocation of PKC- epsilon induced by ATP/UTP. These data indicated that agonist-induced PI3K and downstream PKC- epsilon activation mediated the effect of ATP/UTP on ERK1/2 activation. To test the biological consequences of ERK1/2 activation, the effect of P2Y2 on cell functions were examined. P2Y2 stimulation increased cell proliferation and this effect was attenuated by PD098059 in a dose-dependent manner, thereby indicating that the ERK pathway mediates mitogenic signaling by P2Y2. In conclusion, the activation of conventional PKCs through P2Y2 receptor acts in concert with ERK and PI3K/PKC- epsilon pathways to induce c-Fos protein and HeLa cell proliferation. 相似文献

We have previously shown that HeLa cells express P2Y2 and P2Y6 receptors endogenously and determined the pathways by which the P2Y2 controls proliferation and Na+/K+ATPase activity. Our objective in this study was to investigate the hypothesis that P2Y6 also controls proliferation and Na+/K+ATPase activity; the pathways used in these actions were partially characterised. We found that P2Y6 activation controlled cell proliferation but not the activity of the Na+/K+ATPase. UDP activation of P2Y6 provoked: (a) an increase in free cytosolic calcium; (b) the activation of protein kinase C-alpha, -beta, -delta, -epsilon, and -zeta but not of PKC-iota and -eta; (c) the phosphorylation of the extracellular signal-regulated protein kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2); (d) the expression of c-Fos protein. The P2Y6 induced cell proliferation was blocked by the mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MAPKK) inhibitor PD098059, thereby indicating that the ERK pathway mediates the mitogenic signalling of P2Y6. PKC and phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitors were tested at two different time points of ERK1/2 phosphorylation (10 and 60 min). The results suggest that novel PKCs and PI3K initiate the response but both conventional and atypical PKCs are required for the maintenance of the UDP-induced phosphorylation of ERK1/2. The induction of c-Fos was greatly diminished by conventional or atypical PKC-zeta inhibition, suggesting that it may be due to PKC-alpha/beta and -zeta activity. These observations demonstrate that UDP acts as a proliferative agent in HeLa cells activating multiple signalling pathways involving conventional, novel, and atypical PKCs, PI3K, and ERK. Of these pathways, conventional and atypical PKCs appear responsible for the induction of c-Fos, while ERK is responsible for cell proliferation and depends upon both novel and atypical PKCs and PI3K activities. 相似文献

Exposure of mesangial cells to ionic Cd(2+) induces the proto-oncogene c-fos, while activating both Erk and stress-activated protein kinase (SAPK) MAP kinase pathways. While we have previously used a pharmacological inhibitor of Erk activation to implicate involvement of this pathway in the induction of c-fos by Cd(2+), the consequences of SAPK activation remained unknown. Here we use dominant negative inhibitors of the SAPK kinases, SEK1 and MKK7, to show that Cd(2+) activates SAPK through MKK7, but that partial inhibition of SAPK alone is insufficient to significantly affect the magnitude of the Cd(2+)-dependent increase in c-fos mRNA. However, inhibition of Erk and SAPK pathways together abrogates the increase, suggesting that these pathways act in concert in the induction of c-fos by this toxic metal. 相似文献

Orexin-A and orexin-B orchestrate their diverse central and peripheral effects via two G-protein coupled receptors, OX1R and OX2R, which activate multiple G-proteins. In many tissues, orexins activate extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK(1/2)) and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK); however, the mechanism by which OX2R alone mediates MAPK activation is not understood. This study describes the intracellular signalling pathways involved in OX2R-mediated ERK(1/2) and p38 MAPK activation. In HEK-293 cells stably over-expressing recombinant human OX2R, orexin-A/B resulted in a rapid, dose and time dependent increase in activation of ERK(1/2) and p38 MAPK, with maximal activation at 10 min for ERK(1/2) and 30 min for p38 MAPK. Using dominant-negative G-proteins and selective inhibitors of intracellular signalling cascades, we determined that orexin-A and orexin-B induced ERK(1/2) and p38 MAPK activation through multiple G-proteins and different intracellular signalling pathways. ERK(1/2) activation involves Gq/phospholipase C (PLC)/protein kinase C (PKC), Gs/adenylyl cyclase (AC)/cAMP/protein kinase A (PKA) and Gi cascades; however, the Gq/PLC/PKC pathway, as well as PKA is not required for OX2R-mediated p38 MAPK activation. Interestingly, orexin-B-induced ERK(1/2) activation is predominantly mediated through the Gq/PLC/PKC pathway. In conclusion, this is the first comprehensive signalling study of the human OX2R recombinant receptor, showing ERK(1/2) and p38 MAPK activation are regulated by differential signalling pathways in HEK-293 cells, and that the ERK(1/2) activation is severely affected by naturally occurring mutants associated with narcolepsy. Moreover, it is evident that the human OX2R has ligand specific effects, with orexin-B being more potent in this transfected system and this distinct modulation of the MAPKs through OX2R, may translate to the regulation of diverse biological actions of orexins. 相似文献

The hypothalamic decapeptide gonadotropin-releasing hormone stimulates mobilization of two discrete pools of calcium in clonal (alphaT3-1) and primary pituitary gonadotropes. A multidisciplinary approach was implemented to investigate the effects of discrete calcium fluctuations on the signaling pathways linking the gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor to activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases and immediate early genes. Blockade of calcium influx through nifedipine-sensitive voltage-gated calcium channels reduced buserelin-induced activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and c-Fos while activation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase and c-Jun was unaffected. Inhibition of buserelin-stimulated ERK activity by nifedipine was also observed in rat pituitary cells in primary culture. Direct activation of alphaT3-1 cell L-type calcium channels with the agonist Bay-K 8644 resulted in phosphorylation of ERK and induction of c-Fos. However, simple voltage-induced channel activation did not produce a sufficient calcium signal, since depolarization with 35 mM KCl failed to induce activation of ERK. Depletion of intracellular calcium stores with thapsigargin did not affect buserelin-induced ERK activation. An inhibitor of protein kinase C decreased calcium influx through nifedipine-sensitive calcium channels and phosphorylation of ERK induced by buserelin. Pharmacological inhibition of protein kinase C did not block Bay-K 8644-induced ERK activation. These observations suggest that calcium influx through L-type channels is required for GnRH-induced activation of ERK and c-Fos and that the influence of calcium lies downstream of protein kinase C. 相似文献

Expression of c-fos mRNA was investigated in fresh, normal peritoneal macrophages (M phi), which are terminally differentiated, nonproliferating cells. The levels of c-fos mRNA were dramatically increased by stimulation with phorbol myristate acetate (PMA), calcium ionophore, or 1-oleoyl-2-acetoyl glycerol (OAG). Induction of c-fos mRNA by all the above agents followed similar kinetics, with a peak of mRNA 30 min after stimulation. These results demonstrate that c-fos mRNA can be augmented in fresh, terminally differentiated cells. Since the stimuli increasing c-fos mRNA are direct or indirect activators of protein kinase C, our data suggest that in M phi c-fos mRNA is controlled by protein kinase C activation. PMA, calcium ionophore, and OAG were biologically active in M phi. PMA and calcium ionophore induced respiratory burst and tumoricidal activity, respectively, whereas OAG and PMA were chemotactic for M phi. Interferons beta and gamma, potent M phi activators eliciting tumoricidal activity, did not alter the levels of c-fos mRNA. These results indicate that c-fos mRNA augmentation is a stimulus-specific rather than a function-specific response connected to activation of protein kinase C. 相似文献
