A G protein-coupled receptor agonist, angiotensin II (AngII), induces epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor (EGFR) transactivation possibly through metalloprotease-dependent, heparin-binding EGF (HB-EGF) shedding. Here, we have investigated signal transduction of this process by using COS7 cells expressing an AngII receptor, AT1. In these cells AngII-induced EGFR transactivation was completely inhibited by pretreatment with a selective HB-EGF inhibitor, or with a metalloprotease inhibitor. We also developed a COS7 cell line permanently expressing a HB-EGF construct tagged with alkaline phosphatase, which enabled us to measure HB-EGF shedding quantitatively. In the COS7 cell line AngII stimulated release of HB-EGF. This effect was mimicked by treatment either with a phospholipase C activator, a Ca2+ ionophore, a metalloprotease activator, or H2O2. Conversely, pretreatment with an intracellular Ca2+ antagonist or an antioxidant blocked AngII-induced HB-EGF shedding. Moreover, infection of an adenovirus encoding an inhibitor of G(q) markedly reduced EGFR transactivation and HB-EGF shedding through AT1. In this regard, AngII-stimulated HB-EGF shedding was abolished in an AT1 mutant that lacks G(q) protein coupling. However, in cells expressing AT1 mutants that retain G(q) protein coupling, AngII is still able to induce HB-EGF shedding. Finally, the AngII-induced EGFR transactivation was attenuated in COS7 cells overexpressing a catalytically inactive mutant of ADAM17. From these data we conclude that AngII stimulates a metalloprotease ADAM17-dependent HB-EGF shedding through AT1/G(q)/phospholipase C-mediated elevation of intracellular Ca2+ and reactive oxygen species production, representing a key mechanism indispensable for EGFR transactivation. 相似文献

In vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), angiotensin II (AngII) induces transactivation of the EGF receptor (EGFR) which involves a metalloprotease that stimulates processing of heparin-binding EGF from its precursor. However, the identity and pharmacological sensitivity of the metalloprotease remain unclear. Here, we screened the effects of several metalloprotease inhibitors on AngII-induced EGFR transactivation in VSMCs. We found that an N-phenylsulfonyl-hydroxamic acid derivative [2R-[(4-biphenylsulfonyl)amino]-N-hydroxy-3-phenylpropinamide] (BiPS), previously known as matrix metalloprotease (MMP)-2/9 inhibitor, markedly inhibited AngII-induced EGFR transactivation, whereas the MMP-2 or -9 inhibition by other MMP inhibitors failed to block the transactivation. BiPS markedly inhibited AngII-induced ERK activation and protein synthesis without affecting AngII-induced intracellular Ca2+ elevation. VSMC migration induced by AngII was also inhibited not only by an EGFR inhibitor but also by BiPS. Thus, BiPS is a specific candidate to block AngII-induced EGFR transactivation and subsequent growth and migration of VSMCs, suggesting its potency to prevent vascular remodeling. 相似文献

The receptor for insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) mediates multiple cellular responses, including stimulation of both proliferative and anti-apoptotic pathways. We have examined the role of cross talk between the IGF-1 receptor (IGF-1R) and the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in mediating responses to IGF-1. In COS-7 cells, IGF-1 stimulation causes tyrosine phosphorylation of the IGF-1R beta subunit, the EGFR, insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1), and the Shc adapter protein. Shc immunoprecipitates performed after IGF-1 stimulation contain coprecipitated EGFR, suggesting that IGF-1R activation induces the assembly of EGFR.Shc complexes. Tyrphostin AG1478, an inhibitor of the EGFR kinase, markedly attenuates IGF-1-stimulated phosphorylation of EGFR, Shc, and ERK1/2 but has no effect on phosphorylation of IGF-1R, IRS-1, and protein kinase B (Akt). Cross talk between IGF-1 and EGF receptors is mediated through an autocrine mechanism involving matrix metalloprotease-dependent release of heparin-binding EGF (HB-EGF), because IGF-1-mediated ERK activation is inhibited both by [Glu(52)]Diphtheria toxin, a specific inhibitor of HB-EGF, and the metalloprotease inhibitor 1,10-phenanthroline. These data demonstrate that IGF-1 stimulation of the IRS-1/PI3K/Akt pathway and the EGFR/Shc/ERK1/2 pathway occurs by distinct mechanisms and suggest that IGF-1-mediated "transactivation" of EGFR accounts for the majority of IGF-1-stimulated Shc phosphorylation and subsequent activation of the ERK cascade. 相似文献

In the present study, we examined signal transduction mechanism of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and the role of ROS in angiotensin II-induced activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) in rat neonatal cardiomyocytes. Among three MAPKs, c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase (JNK) and p38 MAPK required ROS production for activation, as an NADPH oxidase inhibitor, diphenyleneiodonium, inhibited the activation. The angiotensin II-induced activation of JNK and p38 MAPK was also inhibited by the expression of the Galpha(12/13)-specific regulator of G protein signaling (RGS) domain, a specific inhibitor of Galpha(12/13), but not by an RGS domain specific for Galpha(q). Constitutively active Galpha(12)- or Galpha(13)-induced activation of JNK and p38 MAPK, but not extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), was inhibited by diphenyleneiodonium. Angiotensin II receptor stimulation rapidly activated Galpha(13), which was completely inhibited by the Galpha(12/13)-specific RGS domain. Furthermore, the Galpha(12/13)-specific but not the Galpha(q)-specific RGS domain inhibited angiotensin II-induced ROS production. Dominant negative Rac inhibited angiotensin II-stimulated ROS production, JNK activation, and p38 MAPK activation but did not affect ERK activation. Rac activation was mediated by Rho and Rho kinase, because Rac activation was inhibited by C3 toxin and a Rho kinase inhibitor, Y27632. Furthermore, angiotensin II-induced Rho activation was inhibited by Galpha(12/13)-specific RGS domain but not dominant negative Rac. An inhibitor of epidermal growth factor receptor kinase AG1478 did not affect angiotensin II-induced JNK activation cascade. These results suggest that Galpha(12/13)-mediated ROS production through Rho and Rac is essential for JNK and p38 MAPK activation. 相似文献

We reported previously an important role of cyclic AMP-response element (CRE) for the induction of interleukin-6 gene expression by angiotensin II (AngII). We examined signaling pathways that are responsible for AngII-induced phosphorylation of CRE-binding protein (CREB) at serine 133 that is a critical marker for the activation in rat vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC). AngII time dependently induced phosphorylation of CREB with a peak at 5 min. The AngII-induced phosphorylation of CREB was blocked by CV11974, an AngII type I receptor antagonist, suggesting that AngII type I receptor may mediate the phosphorylation of CREB. Inhibition of extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (ERK) by PD98059 or inhibition of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) by SB203580 partially inhibited AngII-induced CREB phosphorylation. A protein kinase A inhibitor, H89, also partially suppressed AngII-induced CREB phosphorylation. Inhibition of epidermal growth factor-receptor by AG1478 suppressed the AngII-induced CREB phosphorylation as well as activation of ERK and p38MAPK. Overexpression of the dominant negative form of CREB by an adenovirus vector suppressed AngII-induced c-fos expression and incorporation of [(3)H]leucine to VSMC. These findings suggest that AngII may activate multiple signaling pathways involving two MAPK pathways and protein kinase A, all of which contribute to the activation of CREB. Transactivation of epidermal growth factor-receptor is also critical for AngII-induced CREB phosphorylation. Activation of CREB may be important for the regulation of gene expression and hypertrophy of VSMC induced by AngII. 相似文献

Numerous external stimuli, including G protein-coupled receptor agonists, cytokines, growth factors, and steroids activate mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) through phosphorylation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGF-R). In immortalized hypothalamic neurons (GT1-7 cells), agonist binding to the gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor (GnRH-R) causes phosphorylation of MAPKs that is mediated by protein kinase C (PKC)-dependent transactivation of the EGF-R. An analysis of the mechanisms involved in this process showed that GnRH stimulation of GT1-7 cells causes release/shedding of the soluble ligand, heparin binding epidermal growth factor (HB-EGF), as a consequence of metalloprotease activation. GnRH-induced phosphorylation of the EGF-R and, subsequently, of Shc, ERK1/2, and its dependent protein, p90RSK-1 (p90 ribosomal S6 kinase 1 or RSK-1), was abolished by metalloprotease inhibition. Similarly, blockade of the effect of HB-EGF with the selective inhibitor CRM197 or a neutralizing antibody attenuated signals generated by GnRH and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, but not those stimulated by EGF. In contrast, phosphorylation of the EGF-R, Shc, and ERK1/2 by EGF and HB-EGF was independent of PKC and metalloprotease activity. The signaling characteristics of HB-EGF closely resembled those of GnRH and EGF in terms of the phosphorylation of EGF-R, Shc, ERK1/2, and RSK-1 as well as the nuclear translocation of RSK-1. However, neither the selective Src kinase inhibitor PP2 nor the overexpression of negative regulatory Src kinase and dominant negative Pyk2 had any effect on HB-EGF-induced responses. In contrast to GT1-7 cells, human embryonic kidney 293 cells expressing the GnRH-R did not exhibit metalloprotease induction and EGF-R transactivation during GnRH stimulation. These data indicate that the GnRH-induced transactivation of the EGF-R and the subsequent ERK1/2 phosphorylation result from ectodomain shedding of HBEGF through PKC-dependent activation of metalloprotease(s) in neuronal GT1-7 cells. 相似文献

Pathological cardiac stimulation by angiotensinII (AngII) can cause left ventricular hypertrophy, a major independent risk
factor for heart attack and death. We have previously reported that AngII exerts its hypertrophic effects by usurping the
epidermal growth factor (EGF) signalling pathway via metalloprotease-dependent transactivation. However, the EGF-like ligand
responsible for AngII-mediated transactivation and cardiac hypertrophy remains to be identified. Using phosphorylated ERK1/2
as a read-out of growth pathway activation and an alkaline phosphatase-tagged Heparin-Binding EGF-like Growth Factor (HB-EGF)
reporter construct to examine AngII-mediated liberation, we provide evidence that HB-EGF is the soluble growth factor involved
in AngII-induced left ventricular hypertrophy. 相似文献

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are implicated in cardiovascular diseases. ROS, such as H2O2, act as second messengers to activate diverse signaling pathways. Although H2O2 activates several tyrosine kinases, including the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor, JAK2, and PYK2, in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), the intracellular mechanism by which ROS activate these tyrosine kinases remains unclear. Here, we identified two distinct signaling pathways required for receptor and nonreceptor tyrosine kinase activation by H2O2 involving a metalloprotease-dependent generation of heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor (HB-EGF) and protein kinase C (PKC)-delta activation, respectively. H2O2-induced EGF receptor tyrosine phosphorylation was inhibited by a metalloprotease inhibitor, whereas the inhibitor had no effect on H2O2-induced JAK2 tyrosine phosphorylation. HB-EGF neutralizing antibody inhibited H2O2-induced EGF receptor phosphorylation. In COS-7 cells expressing an HB-EGF construct tagged with alkaline phosphatase, H2O2 stimulates HB-EGF production through metalloprotease activation. By contrast, dominant negative PKC-delta transfection inhibited H2O2-induced JAK2 phosphorylation but not EGF receptor phosphorylation. Dominant negative PYK2 inhibited H2O2-induced JAK2 activation but not EGF receptor activation, whereas dominant negative PKC-delta inhibited PYK2 activation by H2O2. These data demonstrate the presence of distinct tyrosine kinase activation pathways (PKC-delta/PYK2/JAK2 and metalloprotease/HB-EGF/EGF receptor) utilized by H2O2 in VSMCs, thus providing unique therapeutic targets for cardiovascular diseases. 相似文献

The molecular basis for the modulatory properties of CD99 is not well understood. Treatment of human Jurkat T lymphocytes with anti-CD99 antibody led to activation of three mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) members, ERK, JNK, and p38 MAPK, along with homotypic aggregation. While phosphorylation of ERK and JNK was inhibited by the pretreatment of a PKC inhibitor, bisindolylmaleimide I, activation of p38 MAPK was upregulated by the same pretreatment. The signaling pathways to MAPKs by CD99 engagement were independent of PI-3 kinase, distinguishing from those by CD3 engagement. Among MAPKs, ERK pathway was essential for homotypic aggregation together with intracytoplasmic Ca(2+). 相似文献

Thy-1 (CD90) crosslinking by monoclonal antibodies (mAb) in the context of costimulation causes the activation of mouse T-lymphocytes; however, the associated signal transduction processes have not been studied in detail. In this study we investigated the role of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) in Thy-1-mediated T-lymphocyte activation using mAb-coated polystyrene microspheres to crosslink Thy-1 and costimulatory CD28 on murine T-lymphocytes. Concurrent Thy-1 and CD28 crosslinking induced DNA synthesis by T-lymphocytes, as well as interleukin (IL)-2 and IL-2 receptor (IL-2R) α chain (CD25) expression. Increased phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) 1/2, p38 MAPK, and c-Jun N-terminal protein kinase (JNK) was also observed. Pharmacologic inhibition of ERK1/2 or JNK activation inhibited Thy-1-induced DNA synthesis and IL-2 production by T-lymphocytes. p38 MAPK inhibition also decreased DNA synthesis in Thy-1-stimulated T-lymphocytes; however, IL-2 production was increased in these cells. Inhibition of JNK, but not ERK1/2 or p38 MAPK, caused a marked reduction in Thy-1-induced CD25 expression. In addition, inhibition of p38 MAPK or JNK, but not ERK1/2, impaired the growth of IL-2-dependent CTLL-2 T-lymphocytes but did not substantially affect CD25 expression. Finally, exogenous IL-2 reversed the inhibitory effect of ERK1/2 or JNK inhibition on Thy-1-stimulated DNA synthesis by T-lymphocytes but did not substantially reverse JNK inhibition of CD25 expression. Collectively, these results suggest that during Thy-1-induced T-lymphocyte activation, ERK1/2 and JNK promoted IL-2 production whereas p38 MAPK negatively regulated IL-2 expression. JNK signalling was also required for CD25 expression. IL-2R signalling involved both p38 MAPK and JNK in CTLL-2 cells, whereas p38 MAPK was most important for IL-2R signalling in primary T-lymphocytes. MAPKs are therefore essential signalling intermediates for the Thy-1-driven proliferation of mouse T-lymphocytes. 相似文献

Many of the signaling events in VSMC stimulated by angiotensin II (AngII) are mediated by members of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family, including p38 MAPK. The role of p38 MAPK in AngII-mediated cell cycle regulation is poorly understood. Therefore, we examined the involvement of p38 MAPK signaling in AngII-stimulated DNA synthesis, phosphorylation of the retinoblastoma protein (Rb), and expression of the G1-phase cyclin D1 in human coronary artery smooth muscle cells (CASMC). AngII (1 microM) stimulated p38 MAPK and ERK1/2 activation. Pretreatment with the p38 MAPK inhibitors SB203580 (10 microM) (SB) or SKF-86002 (10 microM) (SKF) potently inhibited AngII-induced p38 MAPK activation, but enhanced AngII-mediated ERK1/2 activation. AngII-induced-phosphorylation of Rb (Ser 795 and Ser 807/811), -cyclin D1 expression, and -DNA synthesis was also markedly enhanced by pharmacological inhibition of the p38 MAPK pathway. The present study demonstrates that p38 MAPK negatively regulates AngII-induced ERK1/2 activity, Rb phosphorylation, cyclin D1 expression, and DNA-synthesis in human CASMC. These findings support an important role for p38 MAPK in modulating AngII-mediated VSMC hyperplasia. 相似文献

Recent data suggest that G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), including those for PTH and prostaglandins (PGs), contribute to the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts in vivo. To understand how these signals are transduced, we studied activation of the ERK1/2 MAPK cascade in cultures of differentiating TMOb murine osteoblasts. In TMOb cells, stimulation of endogenous Gs/Gq-coupled PTH receptors, Gq-coupled PGF2 alpha receptors, and Gi/Gq-coupled lysophosphatidic acid receptors, but not Gs-coupled PGE2 receptors, caused a rapid 5- to 10-fold increase in ERK1/2 phosphorylation. GPCR-stimulated ERK1/2 activation coincided with increased tyrosine phosphorylation of epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptors and was blocked by the EGF receptor inhibitor, tyrphostin AG1478, and the metalloprotease inhibitor, batimastat, suggesting that the response involved transactivation of EGF receptors through the proteolytic release of an EGF receptor ligand. To further examine the mechanism of PTH-stimulated EGF receptor transactivation, we employed COS-7 cells expressing the rat PTH receptor. Here, stimulation with PTH(1-34) caused proteolysis of hemagglutinin epitope-tagged heparin binding-EGF, increased tyrosine autophosphorylation of EGF receptors, and AG1478-sensitive ERK1/2 activation. When PTH receptor-expressing COS-7 cells were placed in a mixed culture with cells lacking the PTH receptor but expressing a green fluorescent protein-tagged ERK2, stimulation with PTH(1-34) induced phosphorylation of green fluorescent protein-ERK2 that was abolished by either batimastat or tyrphostin AG1478. These data suggest that autocrine/paracrine cross-talk between EGF receptors and Gi- or Gq/11-coupled GPCRs represents the predominant mechanism of GPCR-mediated activation of ERK1/2 in cultured TMOb osteoblasts. 相似文献

EGF is a regulator of a wide variety of processes in various cell systems. Hepatocytes are important sites in the body's metabolism and function. Glucose transporter 2 (GLUT2) is a major transporter that is expressed strongly in hepatocytes. Therefore, this study examined the effect of EGF on GLUT2 and its related signal cascades in primary cultured chicken hepatocytes. EGF decreased [(3)H]deoxyglucose uptake in a dose- and time-dependent manner (>10 ng/ml, 2 h). AG-1478 (an EGF receptor antagonist) and genistein and herbimycin A (tyrosine kinase inhibitors) blocked the EGF-induced decrease in [(3)H]deoxyglucose uptake, which correlated with the GLUT2 expression level. In addition, the EGF-induced decrease in GLUT2 protein expression was inhibited by staurosporine, H-7, or bisindolylmaleimide I (PKC inhibitors), PD-98059 (a MEK inhibitor), SB-203580 (a p38 MAPK inhibitor), and SP-600125 (a JNK inhibitor), suggesting a role of both PKC and MAPKs (p44/42 MAPK, p38 MAPK, and JNK). In particular, EGF increased the translocation of PKC isoforms (PKC-alpha, -beta(1), -gamma, -delta, and -zeta) from the cytosol to the membrane fraction and increased the activation of p44/42 MAPK, p38 MAPK, and JNK. Moreover, PKC inhibitors blocked the EGF-induced phosphorylation of three MAPKs. In conclusion, EGF decreases the GLUT2 expression level via the PKC-MAPK signal cascade in chicken hepatocytes. 相似文献

Bainiku-ekisu, the fruit-juice concentrate of the Oriental plum (Prunus mume) has recently been shown to improve human blood fluidity. We have shown that angiotensin II (AngII) stimulates growth of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) through epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor transactivation that involves reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. To better understanding the possible cardiovascular protective effect of Bainiku-ekisu, we have studied whether Bainiku-ekisu inhibits AngII-induced growth promoting signals in VSMCs. Bainiku-ekisu markedly inhibited AngII-induced EGF receptor transactivation. H(2)O(2)-induced EGF receptor transactivation was also inhibited by Bainiku-ekisu. Thus, Bainiku-ekisu markedly inhibited AngII-induced extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) activation. However, EGF-induced ERK activation was not affected by Bainiku-ekisu. AngII stimulated leucine uptake in VSMCs that was significantly inhibited by Bainiku-ekisu. Also, Bainiku-ekisu possesses a potent antioxidant activity. Since the activation of EGF receptor, ERK and the production of ROS play central roles in mediating AngII-induced vascular remodeling, these data suggest that Bainiku-ekisu could exert a powerful cardiovascular protective effect with regard to cardiovascular diseases. 相似文献

Mammalian cells respond to environmental stress by activating a variety of protein kinases critical for cellular signal transmission, such as the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase and different members of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family. EGFR activation by stress stimuli was previously thought to occur independently of stimulation by extracellular ligands. Here, we provide evidence that osmotic and oxidative stresses induce a metalloprotease activity leading to cell surface cleavage of pro-heparin-binding EGF (pro-HB-EGF) and subsequent EGFR activation. This ligand-dependent EGFR signal resulted from stress-induced activation of the MAPK p38 in human carcinoma cells and was mediated by the metalloproteases ADAM9, -10, and -17. Furthermore, stress-induced EGFR activation induced downstream signaling through the MAPKs extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2 and JNK. Interestingly, apoptosis induced by treatment of tumor cells with doxorubicin was strongly enhanced by blocking HB-EGF function. Together, our data provide novel insights into the mammalian stress response, suggesting a broad mechanistic relevance of a p38-ADAM-HB-EGF-EGFR-dependent pathway and its potential significance for tumor cells in evasion of chemotherapeutic agent-induced apoptosis. 相似文献

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) activates ERK and p38 MAPK in endothelial cells (ECs). The present study was aimed to compare its intracellular signal transduction pathways between three primary cultures of human ECs including human aortic ECs (HAECs), human umbilical vein ECs (HUVECs), and human microvascular ECs (HMVECs). VEGF activated ERK and p38 MAPK in all of three ECs. Isoforms of p38 MAPK that were activated by VEGF in HUVECs were p38-alpha and p38-delta. GF109203X, a specific inhibitor of PKC, markedly inhibited VEGF-induced activation of ERK and p38 MAPK in HAECs and HUVECs, whereas it exhibited little effect in HMVECs. In contrast, dominant negative mutant of Ha-Ras almost completely abrogated VEGF-induced activation of ERK and p38 MAPK in HMVECs. Although dominant negative mutant of Ha-Ras substantially inhibited the basal activities of ERK and p38 MAPK, it exhibited marginal effect on VEGF-induced activation of ERK and p38 MAPK in HUVECs and HAECs. The activation of Ras by VEGF appeared to be most prominent in HMVECs. These results indicate that intracellular signal transduction pathways for VEGF-induced activation of MAPKs are heterogeneous and vary depending on the origin of ECs.Copyright 2001 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

In this study, we present multiple lines of evidence to support a critical role for heparin-bound EGF (epidermal growth factor)-like growth factor (HB-EGF) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha-converting enzyme (TACE) (ADAM17) in the transactivation of EGF receptor (EGFR), ERK phosphorylation, and cellular proliferation induced by the 5-HT(2A) receptor in renal mesangial cells. 5-hydroxy-tryptamine (5-HT) resulted in rapid activation of TACE, HB-EGF shedding, EGFR activation, ERK phosphorylation, and longer term increases in DNA content in mesangial cells. ERK phosphorylation was attenuated by 1) neutralizing EGFR antibodies and the EGFR kinase inhibitor, AG1478, 2) neutralizing HB-EGF, but not amphiregulin, antibodies, heparin, or CM197, and 3) pharmacological inhibitors of matrix-degrading metalloproteinases or TACE small interfering RNA. Exogenously administered HB-EGF stimulated ERK phosphorylation. Additionally, TACE was co-immunoprecipitated with HB-EGF. Small interfering RNA against TACE also blocked 5-HT-induced increases in ERK phosphorylation, HB-EGF shedding, and DNA content. In aggregate, this work supports a pathway map that can be depicted as follows: 5-HT --> 5-HT(2A) receptor --> TACE --> HB-EGF shedding --> EGFR --> ERK --> increased DNA content. To our knowledge, this is the first time that TACE has been implicated in 5-HT-induced EGFR transactivation or in proliferation induced by a G protein-coupled receptor in native cells in culture. 相似文献

Diverse extracellular stimuli activate the ERK1/2 MAPK cascade by transactivating epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptors. Here, we have examined the role of EGF receptors in IGF-I-stimulated ERK1/2 activation in several cultured cell lines. In human embryonic kidney 293 cells, IGF-I triggered proteolysis of heparin binding (HB)-EGF, increased tyrosine autophosphorylation of EGF receptors, stimulated EGF receptor inhibitor (AG1478)-sensitive ERK1/2 phosphorylation, and promoted EGF receptor endocytosis. In a mixed culture system that employed IGF-I receptor null murine embryo fibroblasts (MEFs) (R(-) cells) to detect paracrine signals produced by MEFs expressing the human IGF-I receptor (R(+) cells), stimulation of R(+) cells provoked rapid activation of green fluorescent protein-tagged ERK2 in cocultured R(-) cells. The R(-) cell response was abolished by either the broad-spectrum matrix metalloprotease inhibitor batimastat or by AG1478, indicating that it resulted from the proteolytic generation of an EGF receptor ligand from adjacent R(+) cells. These data suggest that the paracrine production of EGF receptor ligands leading to EGF receptor transactivation is a general property of IGF-I receptor signaling. In contrast, the contribution of transactivated EGF receptors to IGF-I-stimulated downstream events, such as ERK1/2 activation, varies in a cell type-dependent manner. 相似文献
