The signalling pathways leading to the development of Helicobacter pylori -induced gastric cancer remain poorly understood. We tested the hypothesis that H. pylori infections involve the activation of Akt signalling in human gastric epithelial cancer cells. Immunoblot, immunofluorescence and kinase assays show that H. pylori infection of gastric epithelial cells induced phosphorylation of Akt at Ser 473 and Thr 308. Mutations in the H. pylori virulence factor OipA dramatically reduced phosphorylation of Ser 473, while the cag pathogenicity island mutants predominantly inhibited phosphorylation of Thr 308. As the downstream of Akt activation, H. pylori infection inactivated the inactivation of glycogen synthase kinase 3β at Ser 9 by its phosphorylation. As the upstream of Akt activation, H. pylori infection activated epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) at Tyr 992, phosphatidylinositol 3-OH kinase (PI3K) p85 subunit and PI3K-dependent kinase 1 at Ser 241. Pharmacologic inhibitors of PI3K or mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK), Akt knock-down and EGFR knock-down showed that H. pylori infection induced the activation of EGFR→PI3K→PI3K-dependent kinase 1→Akt→extracellular signal-regulated kinase signalling pathways, the inactivation of glycogen synthase kinase 3β and interleukin-8 production. The combined functions of cag pathogenicity island and OipA were necessary and sufficient for full activation of signalling at each level. We propose activation of these pathways as a novel mechanism for H. pylori -mediated carcinogenesis. 相似文献

Although substantial studies have begun to explore the regulation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/Akt cascade by different signalling pathways, whether protein kinase C (PKC) activity plays a crucial role remains as yet unclear. In this study, we found that in A549 and HEK293 cells non-selective PKC inhibitors Ro 31-8220 and bisindolylmaleimide VIII, and PKCbeta inhibitor LY 379196, caused Akt/PKB phosphorylation at Ser 473 and increased the upstream activator, integrin-linked kinase (ILK) activity. The increased Akt phosphorylation was blocked by phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitor wortmannin and the newly identified PIP(3)-dependent kinases (PDK) inhibitor SB 203580. In contrast to the Akt stimulation caused by PKC inhibitors, PMA attenuated Akt/PKB phosphorylation. We also found that this stimulating effect on Akt phosphorylation by PKC inhibitors was not the result of phosphatase inhibition, since treatment with PP2A, PP2B and tyrosine phosphatase inhibitors (okadaic acid, FK506 and sodium orthovanadate, respectively) had no effect. We conclude that phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/Akt signalling pathway is regulated by PKC in a negative manner. 相似文献

Nicotine treatment triggers calcium influx into neuronal cells, which promotes cell survival in a number of neuronal cells. Phosphoinositide (PI) 3-kinase and downstream PI3-kinase target Akt have been reported to be important in the calcium-mediated promotion of survival in a wide variety of cells. We investigated the mechanisms of nicotine-induced phosphorylation of Akt in PC12h cells, in comparison with nicotine-induced ERK phosphorylation. Nicotine induced Akt phosphorylation in a dose-dependent manner. A nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) alpha7 subunit-selective inhibitor had no significant effect on nicotine-induced Akt phosphorylation, while a non-selective nAChR antagonist inhibited the phosphorylation. L-type voltage-sensitive calcium channel (VSCC) antagonists, calmodulin antagonist, and Ca2+/calmudulin-dependent protein kinase (CaM kinase) inhibitor prevented the nicotine-induced Akt phosphorylation. Three epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors prevented the nicotine-induced phosphorylation of both extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (p42/44 MAP kinase, ERK) and Akt. In contrast, an inhibitor of the Src family tyrosine kinase prevented the nicotine-induced Akt phosphorylation but not ERK phosphorylation. These results suggested that nicotine induces the activation of both PI3-kinase/Akt and ERK pathways via common pathways including non-alpha7-nAChRs, L-type VSCC, CaM kinase II and EGFR in PC12h cells, but Src family tyrosine kinases only participate in the pathway to activate Akt. 相似文献

This study was designed to evaluate the role of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR)/p70S61 kinase (S6K1) pathways in ER stress-induced insulin resistance in L6 myotubes. Pretreatment with 5μg/ml of tunicamycin or 600nM thapsigargin for 3h decreased insulin-mediated tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1 and glucose uptake, and increased the level of mTOR/S6K1 phosphorylation in L6 myotubes. However, the inhibition of mTOR activity by rapamycin (inhibitor of several intracellular pathways including S6K1 pathways) reversed the ER stress-reduced tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1 and glucose uptake. Furthermore, pretreatment of cells with rapamycin decreased ER stress-induced phosphorylation of mTOR and S6K1. Interestingly, inhibition of mTOR by rapamycin did not affect ER stress markers such as PERK and JNK activity under the ER stress condition. Similar results were obtained with or without pretreatment with tunicamycin in the absence or presence of S6K1 RNAi. Moreover, S6K1 RNAi-mediated knockdown preserved insulin-stimulated Akt phosphorylation and glucose uptake in ER-stressed L6 myotubes, which was blocked by the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitor wortmannin. Taken together, these results suggest that rapamycin improved ER stress-induced insulin resistance via inhibition of mTOR/S6K1 hyperphosphorylation in L6 myotubes. 相似文献

Hypertension is associated with increased production and circulation of vasoconstrictors, resulting in enhanced signalling through their cognate G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR). Prolonged vasoconstrictor GPCR signalling increases arterial contraction and stimulates signalling pathways that promote vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation, contributing to the development of atherosclerotic plaques, re-stenosis lesions and vascular remodelling. GPCR signalling through phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt) promotes VSMC proliferation. In VSMC, G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2) is known to regulate numerous vasoconstrictor GPCRs and their downstream signalling pathways. As GRK2 is implicated in controlling various aspects of cellular growth, we examined whether GRK2 could affect VSMC proliferation. Using two indices of cell growth, we show that PI3K inhibition and depletion of GRK2 expression produced a similar ablation of pro-proliferative vasoconstrictor-stimulated VSMC growth. Furthermore, GRK2-knockdown ablated the sustained phase of endothelin-1 and angiotensin-II-stimulated Akt phosphorylation, whilst the peak (5 min) phase was unaffected. Conversely, the GRK2 inhibitor compound 101 did not affect vasoconstrictor-driven Akt phosphorylation. Vasoconstrictor-stimulated phosphorylation of the Akt substrates GSK3α and GSK3β was ablated following RNAi-mediated GRK2 depletion, or after PI3K inhibition. Moreover, GRK2 knockdown prevented endothelin-1 and angiotensin-II from increasing cyclin D1 expression.These data suggest GRK2 expression is essential to facilitate vasoconstrictor-driven VSMC proliferation through its ability to promote efficient prolonged PI3K-Akt signalling, and thus relieve the GSK3-mediated block on cell cycling. Considering VSMC GRK2 expression increases early in the development of hypertension, this highlights the potential for GRK2 to promote VSMC growth and exacerbate hypertensive pathophysiological vascular remodelling. 相似文献

In the present study we have investigated the effect of increased serine/threonine phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrates-1 and -2 (IRS-1 and IRS-2) by okadaic acid pretreatment on brown adipocyte insulin signalling leading to glucose transport, an important metabolic effect of insulin in brown adipose tissue. Okadaic acid pretreatment before insulin stimulation decreased IRS-1 and IRS-2 tyrosine phosphorylation in parallel to a decrease in their sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis mobility. IRS-1/IRS-2-associated p85alpha and phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase enzymatic activity were partly reduced in brown adipocytes pretreated with okadaic acid upon stimulation with insulin. Furthermore, insulin-induced glucose uptake was totally abolished by the inhibitor in parallel with a total inhibition of insulin-induced protein kinase C (PKC) zeta activity. However, activation of Akt/PKB or p70 S6 kinase (p70(s6k)) by insulin remained unaltered. Our results suggest that downstream of PI 3-kinase, insulin signalling diverges into at least two independent pathways through Akt/PKB and PKC zeta, the PKC zeta pathway contributing to glucose transport induced by insulin in fetal brown adipocytes. 相似文献

The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) plays a key role in the regulation of important cellular processes under normal and pathophysiological conditions such as cancer. In human mammary carcinomas the EGFR is involved in regulating cell growth, survival, migration and metastasis and its activation correlates with the lack of response in hormone therapy. Here, we demonstrate in oestrogen receptor-positive and -negative human breast cancer cells and primary mammary epithelial cells a cross-communication between G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and the EGFR. We present evidence that specific inhibition of ADAM15 or TACE blocks GPCR-induced and proHB-EGF-mediated EGFR tyrosine phosphorylation, downstream mitogenic signalling and cell migration. Notably, activation of the PI3K downstream mediator PKB/Akt by GPCR ligands involves the activity of sphingosine kinase (SPHK) and is independent of EGFR signal transactivation. We conclude that GPCR-induced chemotaxis of breast cancer cells is mediated by EGFR-dependent and -independent signalling pathways, with both parallel pathways having to act in concert to achieve a complete migratory response. 相似文献

Oxidative stress and vanadate induce tyrosine phosphorylation of phosphoinositide-dependent kinase 1 (PDK1) 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Phosphoinositide-dependent kinase (PDK1) regulates a number of pathways involved in responses to stress and in growth factor signaling; however, little is known concerning the mechanisms governing the activity of PDK1. In this report, we find that oxidative stress (H(2)O(2)) and vanadate induce tyrosine phosphorylation of PDK1. These effects of H(2)O(2) and vanadate were found in 293T cells and CH310T1/2 cells expressing exogenous PDK1 and in A20 lymphoma cells expressing endogenous PDK1. Exogenously expressed PDK1 was also tyrosine-phosphorylated in response to NGF treatment of 293T expressing TrkA. H(2)O(2) induced a more rapid tyrosine phosphorylation of PDK1 relative to vanadate, and only vanadate-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of PDK1 was sensitive to pretreatment of cells with wortmannin. In vitro, PDK1 could be tyrosine-phosphorylated by both the c-Src and Abl tyrosine kinases. Both H(2)O(2) and vanadate treatments increased the activity of PDK1 when the serum/glucocorticoid regulated kinase (SGK) was used as substrate. Vanadate treatment appeared to bypass the requirement for phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate when Akt was used as substrate for PDK1. Tyrosine phosphorylation of PDK1 by the Abl tyrosine kinase also increased the activity of PDK1 toward SGK and Akt. These data suggest a novel mechanism through which PDK1 activity may be regulated. 相似文献

The role of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase and its downstream targets in the regulation of the transition from the G0/G1 phase into DNA synthesis in response to ANG II has not been previously investigated in intestinal epithelial IEC-18 cells. ANG II induced a rapid and striking EGFR tyrosine phosphorylation, which was prevented by selective inhibitors of EGFR tyrosine kinase activity (e.g., AG-1478) or by broad-spectrum matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitor GM-6001. Pretreatment of these cells with either AG-1478 or GM-6001 reduced ANG II-stimulated DNA synthesis by approximately 50%. To elucidate the downstream targets of EGFR, we demonstrated that ANG II stimulated phosphorylation of Akt at Ser473, mTOR at Ser2448, p70S6K1 at Thr389, and S6 ribosomal protein at Ser(235/236). Pretreatment with AG-1478 inhibited Akt, p70S6K1, and S6 ribosomal protein phosphorylation. Inhibition of phosphatidylinositol (PI)3-kinase with LY-294002 or mTOR/p70S6K1 with rapamycin reduced [3H]thymidine incorporation by 50%, i.e., to levels comparable to those achieved by addition of either AG-1478 or GM-6001. Utilizing Akt small-interfering RNA targeted to Akt1 and Akt2, Akt protein knockdown dramatically inhibited p70S6K1 and S6 ribosomal protein phosphorylation. In contrast, AG-1478 or Akt gene silencing exerted no detectable inhibitory effect on ANG II-induced extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 phosphorylation in IEC-18 cells. Taken together, our results demonstrate that EGFR transactivation mediates ANG II-stimulated mitogenesis through the PI3-kinase/Akt/mTOR/p70S6K1 signaling pathway in IEC-18 cells. 相似文献

Activation of Akt by multiple stimuli including B cell antigen receptor (BCR) engagement requires phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and regulates processes including cell survival, proliferation, and metabolism. BCR cross-linking activates three families of non-receptor protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs) and these are transducers of signaling events including phospholipase C and mitogen-activated protein kinase activation; however, the relative roles of PTKs in BCR-mediated Akt activation are unknown. We examined Akt activation in Lyn-, Syk- and Btk-deficient DT40 cells and B cells from Lyn(-/-) mice. BCR-mediated Akt activation required Syk and was partially dependent upon Btk. Increased BCR-induced Akt phosphorylation was observed in Lyn-deficient DT40 cells and Lyn(-/-) mice compared with wild-type cells suggesting that Lyn may negatively regulate Akt function. BCR-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase catalytic subunit was abolished in Syk-deficient cells consistent with a receptor-proximal role for Syk in BCR-mediated phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activation; in contrast, it was maintained in Btk-deficient cells, suggesting Btk functions downstream of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase. Calcium depletion did not influence BCR-induced Akt phosphorylation/activation, showing that neither Syk nor Btk mediates its effects via changes in calcium levels. Thus, BCR-mediated Akt stimulation is regulated by multiple non-receptor PTK families which regulate Akt both proximal and distal to phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activation. 相似文献

Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) is a platelet-derived sphingolipid that elicits diverse biological responses, including angiogenesis, via the activation of G protein-coupled EDG receptors. S1P activates the endothelial isoform of nitric-oxide synthase (eNOS), associated with eNOS phosphorylation at Ser-1179, a site phosphorylated by protein kinase Akt. We explored the proximal signaling pathways that mediate Akt activation and eNOS regulation by S1P/EDG receptors. Akt is regulated by the lipid kinase phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3-K). We found that bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAEC) express both alpha and beta isoforms of PI3-K, while lacking the gamma isoform. S1P treatment led to the rapid and isoform-specific activation of PI3-Kbeta in BAEC. PI3-Kbeta can be regulated by G protein betagamma subunits (Gbetagamma). The overexpression of a peptide inhibitor of Gbetagamma attenuated S1P-induced eNOS enzyme activation, as well as S1P-induced phosphorylation of eNOS and Akt. In contrast, bradykinin, a classical eNOS agonist, neither activated any PI3-K isoform nor induced eNOS phosphorylation at Ser-1179, despite activating eNOS in BAEC. Vascular endothelial growth factor activated both PI3-Kalpha and PI3-Kbeta via tyrosine kinase pathways and promoted eNOS phosphorylation that was unaffected by Gbetagamma inhibition. These findings indicate that PI3-Kbeta (regulated by Gbetagamma) may represent a novel molecular locus for eNOS activation by EDG receptors in vascular endothelial cells. These studies also indicate that different eNOS agonists activate distinct signaling pathways that diverge proximally following receptor activation but converge distally to activate eNOS. 相似文献

Adenosine and acetylcholine (ACh) trigger preconditioning through different signaling pathways. We tested whether either could activate myocardial phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-kinase), a putative signaling protein in ischemic preconditioning. We used phosphorylation of Akt, a downstream target of PI3-kinase, as a reporter. Exposure of isolated rabbit hearts to ACh increased Akt phosphorylation 2.62 +/- 0.33 fold (P = 0.001), whereas adenosine caused a significantly smaller increase (1.52 +/- 0.08 fold). ACh-induced activation of Akt was abolished by the tyrosine kinase blocker genistein indicating at least one tyrosine kinase between the muscarinic receptor and Akt. ACh-induced Akt activation was blocked by the Src tyrosine kinase inhibitor 4-amino-5-(4-chlorophenyl)-7-(t-butyl)pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine (PP2) and by 4-(3-chloroanilino)-6,7-dimethoxyquinazoline (AG-1478), an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitor, suggesting phosphorylation of a receptor tyrosine kinase in an Src tyrosine kinase-dependent manner. ACh caused tyrosine phosphorylation of the EGFR, which could be blocked by PP2, thus supporting this receptor hypothesis. AG-1478 failed to block the cardioprotection of ACh, however, suggesting that other receptor tyrosine kinases might be involved. Therefore, G(i) protein-coupled receptors can activate PI3-kinase/Akt through transactivation of receptor tyrosine kinases in an Src tyrosine kinase-dependent manner. 相似文献

The innate immune response elicited by Helicobacter pylori in the human gastric mucosa involves a range of cellular signalling pathways, including those implicated in metabolism regulation. In this study, we analysed H. pylori-induced PI3K/Akt/mTOR signalling, which regulates glycolysis and protein synthesis and associates thereby with cellular energy- and nutrients-consuming processes such as growth and proliferation. The immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated that Akt kinase phosphorylation is abundant in gastric biopsies obtained from gastritis, gastric adenoma and adenocarcinoma patients. Infection with H. pylori led to the phosphorylation of Akt effectors mTOR and S6 in a type 4 secretion system (T4SS)-independent manner in AGS cells. We observed that the activation of these molecules was dependent on PI3K and the Src family tyrosine kinases. Furthermore, H. pylori induced the phosphorylation of 4E-BP1 and eIF4E and suppressed the phosphorylation of eEF2, which are important regulators of protein synthesis. Inhibition of PI3K and Akt kinase prevented the phosphorylation of 4E-BP1, suggesting that PI3K signalling is involved in the regulation of translation initiation during H. pylori infection. Metabolic labelling showed that infected cells had higher rates of [35S]methionine/cysteine incorporation, and this effect could be prevented using LY294002, an PI3K inhibitor. Thus, H. pylori activates PI3K/Akt signalling, mTOR, eIFs and protein translation, which might impact H. pylori-related gastric pathophysiology. 相似文献

Flavonoids: antioxidants or signalling molecules? 总被引:26,自引:0,他引:26
Many studies are accumulating that report the neuroprotective, cardioprotective, and chemopreventive actions of dietary flavonoids. While there has been a major focus on the antioxidant properties, there is an emerging view that flavonoids, and their in vivo metabolites, do not act as conventional hydrogen-donating antioxidants but may exert modulatory actions in cells through actions at protein kinase and lipid kinase signalling pathways. Flavonoids, and more recently their metabolites, have been reported to act at phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase), Akt/protein kinase B (Akt/PKB), tyrosine kinases, protein kinase C (PKC), and mitogen activated protein kinase (MAP kinase) signalling cascades. Inhibitory or stimulatory actions at these pathways are likely to affect cellular function profoundly by altering the phosphorylation state of target molecules and by modulating gene expression. A clear understanding of the mechanisms of action of flavonoids, either as antioxidants or modulators of cell signalling, and the influence of their metabolism on these properties are key to the evaluation of these potent biomolecules as anticancer agents, cardioprotectants, and inhibitors of neurodegeneration 相似文献
