The stress-activated protein kinase/c-Jun N-terminal protein kinase (JNK) is induced in response to ionizing radiation and other DNA-damaging agents. Recent studies indicate that activation of JNK is necessary for induction of apoptosis in response to diverse agents. Here we demonstrate that methylmethane sulfonate (MMS)-induced activation of JNK is inhibited by overexpression of the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-xL, but not by caspase inhibitors CrmA and p35. By contrast, UV-induced JNK activity is insensitive to Bcl-xL. The results demonstrate that treatment with MMS is associated with an increase in tyrosine phosphorylation of related adhesion focal tyrosine kinase (RAFTK)/proline-rich tyrosine kinase 2 (PYK2), an upstream effector of JNK and that this phosphorylation is inhibited by overexpression of Bcl-xL. Furthermore, overexpression of a dominant-negative mutant of RAFTK (RAFTK K-M) inhibits MMS-induced JNK activation. The results indicate that inhibition of RAFTK phosphorylation by MMS in Bcl-xL cells is attributed to an increase in tyrosine phosphatase activity in these cells. Hence, treatment of Bcl-xL cells with sodium vanadate, a tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor, restores MMS-induced activation of RAFTK and JNK. These findings indicate that RAFTK-dependent induction of JNK in response to MMS is sensitive to Bcl-xL, but not to CrmA and p35, by a mechanism that inhibits tyrosine phosphorylation and thereby activation of RAFTK. Taken together, these findings support a novel role for Bcl-xL that is independent of the caspase cascade. 相似文献

P19 embryonic carcinoma cells, a model system for studying early development and differentiation, can differentiate into neurons and primitive endoderm-like cells depending on the culture conditions. We have previously reported that the activation of c-Jun amino-terminal kinase (JNK) is required for the retinoic acid-induced neural differentiation of P19 cells. However, the signaling pathway(s) responsible for the activation of JNK has not been known. In this study, we demonstrated that activities of MAPK kinase 4 (MKK4) and TAK1, one of the upstream kinases of MKK4, were enhanced in the neurally differentiating cells. Inhibition of the neural differentiation by an overexpression of protein phosphatase 2Cepsilon, an inactivator of TAK1, suggested a critical role of the TAK1 signaling pathway during the differentiation. Confocal microscopic analysis indicated that TAK1, phospho-MKK4, and phospho-JNK were colocalized with tubulin in the neurites and localized also in the nuclei of the differentiating cells. In contrast, two TAK1-binding proteins, TAB1 and TAB2, which are involved in the activation of TAK1, were localized in the neurites and the nuclei of the differentiating cells, respectively. These results suggest that two distinct TAK1-MKK4-JNK signaling pathways are independently activated at the different intracellular locations and may participate in the regulation of the neural differentiation of P19 cells. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to determine whether Helicobacter pylori activates mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases in gastric epithelial cells. Infection of AGS cells with an H. pylori cag+ strain rapidly (5 min) induced a dose-dependent activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK), p38, and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) MAP kinases, as determined by Western blot analysis and in vitro kinase assay. Compared with cag+ strains, cag- clinical isolates were less potent in inducing MAP kinase, particularly JNK and p38, activation. Isogenic inactivation of the picB region of the cag pathogenicity island resulted in a similar loss of JNK and p38 MAP kinase activation. The specific MAP kinase inhibitors, PD98059 (25 microM; MAP kinase kinase (MEK-1) inhibitor) and SB203580 (10 microM; p38 inhibitor), reduced H. pylori-induced IL-8 production in AGS cells by 78 and 82%, respectively (p < 0.01 for each). Both inhibitors together completely blocked IL-8 production (p < 0.001). However, the MAP kinase inhibitors did not prevent H. pylori-induced IkappaBalpha degradation or NF-kappaB activation. Thus, H. pylori rapidly activates ERK, p38, and JNK MAP kinases in gastric epithelial cells; cag+ isolates are more potent than cag- strains in inducing MAP kinase phosphorylation and gene products of the cag pathogenicity island are required for maximal MAP kinase activation. p38 and MEK-1 activity are required for H. pylori-induced IL-8 production, but do not appear to be essential for H. pylori-induced NF-kappaB activation. Since MAP kinases regulate cell proliferation, differentiation, programmed death, stress, and inflammatory responses, activation of gastric epithelial cell MAP kinases by H. pylori cag+ strains may be instrumental in inducing gastroduodenal inflammation, ulceration, and neoplasia. 相似文献

All-trans-retinoic acid (RA) plays a crucial role in survival and differentiation of neurons. For elucidating signaling mechanisms involved in RA-induced neuronal differentiation, we have selected SH-SY5Y cells, which are an established in vitro cell model for studying RA signaling. Here we report that RA-induced neuronal differentiation of SH-SY5Y cells is coupled with increased expression/activation of TGase and in vivo transamidation and activation of RhoA. In addition, RA promotes formation of stress fibers and focal adhesion complexes, and activation of ERK1/2, JNK1, and p38alpha/beta/gamma MAP kinases. Using C-3 exoenzyme (RhoA inhibitor) or monodansylcadaverine (TGase inhibitor), we show that transamidated RhoA regulates cytoskeletal rearrangement and activation of ERK1/2 and p38gamma MAP kinases. Further, by using stable SH-SY5Y cell lines (overexpressing wild-type, C277S mutant, and antisense TGase), we demonstrate that transglutaminase activity is required for activation of RhoA, ERK1/2, JNK1, and p38gamma MAP kinases. Activated MAP kinases differentially regulate RA-induced neurite outgrowth and neuronal marker expression. The results of our studies suggest a novel mechanism of RA signaling, which involves activation of TGase and transamidation of RhoA. RA-induced activation of TGase is proposed to induce multiple signaling pathways that regulate neuronal differentiation. 相似文献

An important role for JNK* and p38 has recently been discovered in the differentiating effect of bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) on osteoblastic cells. In this study, we investigated the molecular mechanism by which BMP-2 activates JNK and p38 in MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cells. Activation of JNK and p38 induced by BMP-2 was blocked by the protein kinase C/protein kinase D (PKC/PKD) inhibitor Go6976 but not by the related compound, Go6983, a selective inhibitor of conventional PKCs. Associated with this inhibitory effect of Go6976, BMP-2 induced a selective and a dose-dependent Ser916 phosphorylation/activation of PKD, which was also blocked by Go6976. In contrast to the recently described PKC-dependent molecular mechanism involved in activation of PKD by G protein-coupled receptor agonists, BMP-2 did not induce a phosphorylation of PKD on Ser744/748. To further document an implication of PKD in activation of JNK and p38 induced by BMP-2, we constructed MC3T3-E1 cells stably expressing PKD antisense oligonucleotide (AS-PKD). In AS-PKD clones having low PKD levels, activation of JNK and p38 by BMP-2, but not of Smad1/5, was markedly impaired compared with empty vector transfected (V-PKD) cells. Analysis of osteoblastic cell differentiation in AS-PKD compared with V-PKD cells showed that mRNA and protein expressions of alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin induced by BMP-2 were markedly reduced in AS-PKD. In conclusion, results presented in this study indicate that BMP-2 can induce activation of PKD in osteoblastic cells by a PKC-independent mechanism and that this kinase is involved in activation of JNK and p38 induced by BMP-2. Thus, this pathway, in addition to Smads, appears to be essential for the effect of BMP-2 on osteoblastic cell differentiation. 相似文献

Docking interactions in the c-Jun N-terminal kinase pathway 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
The c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling pathway is a major mediator of stress responses in cells. Similar to other mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), JNK activity is controlled by a cascade of protein kinases and by protein phosphatases, including dual-specificity MAPK phosphatases. Components of the JNK pathway associate with scaffold proteins that modulate their activities and cellular localization. The JNK-interacting protein-1 (JIP-1) scaffold protein specifically binds JNK, MAPK kinase 7 (MKK7), and members of the mixed lineage kinase (MLK) family, and regulates JNK activation in neurons. In this study we demonstrate that distinct regions within the N termini of MKK7 and the MLK family member dual leucine zipper kinase (DLK) mediate their binding to JIP-1. We have also identified amino acids in JNK required for: (a) binding to JIP-1 and for JIP-1-mediated JNK activation, (b) docking to MAPK kinase 4 (MKK4) and efficient phosphorylation by MKK4, and (c) docking to its substrate c-Jun and efficient c-Jun phosphorylation. None of the amino acids identified were essential for JNK docking to MKK7 or the dual-specificity phosphatase MAPK phosphatase 7 (MKP7). These findings uncover molecular determinants of JIP-1 scaffold complex assembly and demonstrate that there are overlapping, but also distinct, binding determinants within JNK that mediate interactions with scaffold proteins, activators, phosphatases, and substrates. 相似文献

Src homology region 2 domain-containing phosphatase 1 (SHP-1) is a key mediator in lymphocyte differentiation, proliferation, and activation. We previously showed that B cell linker protein (BLNK) is a physiological substrate of SHP-1 and that B cell receptor (BCR)-induced activation of c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase (JNK) is significantly enhanced in cells expressing a form of SHP-1 lacking phosphatase activity (SHP-1-C/S). In this study, we confirmed that SHP-1 also exerts negative regulatory effects on JNK activation in splenic B cells. To further clarify the role of SHP-1 in B cells, we examined how dephosphorylation of BLNK by SHP-1 affects downstream signaling events. When a BLNK mutant (BLNK Delta N) lacking the NH(2)-terminal region, which contains four tyrosine residues, was introduced in SHP-1-C/S-expressing WEHI-231 cells, the enhanced JNK activation was inhibited. Among candidate proteins likely to regulate JNK activation through BLNK, Nck adaptor protein was found to associate with tyrosine-phosphorylated BLNK and this association was more pronounced in SHP-1-C/S-expressing cells. Furthermore, expression of dominant-negative forms of Nck inhibited BCR-induced JNK activation. Finally, BCR-induced apoptosis was suppressed in SHP-1-C/S-expressing cells and coexpression of Nck SH2 mutants or a dominant-negative form of SEK1 reversed this phenotype. Collectively, these results suggest that SHP-1 acts on BLNK, modulating its association with Nck, which in turn negatively regulates JNK activation but exerts a positive effect on apoptosis. 相似文献

The function of HSP72 in suppression of c-Jun N-terminal kinase activation can be dissociated from its role in prevention of protein damage. 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

Activation of the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) by a variety of stimuli is critical for regulation of many cellular processes including apoptosis. The major inducible heat shock protein Hsp72 has previously been demonstrated to inhibit activation of JNK in cells exposed to heat shock and other protein-damaging agents, thus suppressing apoptosis. Hsp72 can protect proteins from stress-induced damage. To test if this protective function of Hsp72 is involved in JNK suppression, we investigated whether Hsp72 can avert activation of JNK by stimuli that do not cause protein damage. We show that Hsp72 suppresses activation of JNK induced by non-protein-damaging stimuli, interleukin-1 and UV irradiation, as well as by constitutively active components of the JNK signaling cascade Cdc42 and MEKK1. Furthermore, Hsp72 strongly reduced activation of JNK by phosphatase inhibitors. We also demonstrate that an Hsp72 mutant that lacks the ATPase domain is still capable of JNK suppression, thus indicating that the protein refolding activity of Hsp72 is not critical for inhibition of JNK activation. Taken together these data suggest that Hsp72 plays a regulatory role in JNK signaling and that the function of Hsp72 in protein protection or refolding is not involved in JNK regulation. 相似文献

FTY720 is a novel immunosuppressive drug derived from a metabolite from Isaria sinclairii that is known to induce apoptosis of rat splenic T cells. In this study, we examined the intracellular signaling pathway triggered by FTY720. Treatment of human Jurkat T lymphocytes with FTY720-induced apoptosis characterized by DNA fragmentation. The same treatment induced activation of protein kinases such as c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK), p38/CSBP (CSAID-binding protein), and a novel 36-kDa myelin basic protein (MBP) kinase, but not extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK). Pretreatment of Jurkat cells with DEVD-CHO blocked FTY720-induced DNA fragmentation as well as the activation of p38/CSBP. However, DEVD-CHO treatment failed to inhibit FTY720-induced activation of JNK and the 36-kDa MBP kinase. We have also demonstrated that activation of the ERK signaling pathway completely suppressed the FTY720-induced apoptotic process including activation of caspase 3 and activation of JNK and the 36-kDa MBP kinase. Furthermore, transient expression of constitutively active mitogen-activated protein kinase/ERK kinase (MEK) protected the cells from FTY720-induced cell death. The effect of MEK was canceled by coexpression of a mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphatase, CL100. These results indicate that JNK and p38 pathways are differentially regulated during FTY720-induced apoptosis and that activation of ERK pathway alone is sufficient to cancel the FTY720-induced death signal. 相似文献

We investigated the effects of a novel peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) agonist, KR62776, on osteoclast differentiation and function, and on the underlying signaling pathways. KR62776 markedly suppressed differentiation into osteoclasts in various osteoclast model systems, including bone marrow mononuclear (BMM) cells and a co-culture of calvarial osteoblasts and BMM cells. KR62776 suppressed the activation of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) and the expression of genes associated with osteoclast differentiation, such as TRAP, dendritic cell-specific transmembrane protein (DC-STAMP), and osteoclast-associated receptor (OSCAR). Furthermore, KR62776 reduced resorption pit formation in osteoclasts, and down-regulated genes essential for osteoclast activity, such as Src and αvβ3 integrin. An analysis of a signaling pathway showed that KR62776 inhibited the receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL)-induced activation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38MAPK), extracellular regulated kinase (ERK), c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB). Together, these results demonstrate that KR62776 negatively affects osteoclast differentiation and activity by inhibiting the RANKL-induced activation of MAP kinases and NF-κB. 相似文献
