Two different clones of Swiss 3T3 cells belonging to the same original cell line have been obtained, one of which was unresponsive to mitogenic stimulation (e.g. insulin-like growth factor-I, bombesin, insulin-like growth factor-I + bombesin), while the other clone showed a very high rate of DNA synthesis under identical conditions as demonstrated by 5-bromodeoxyuridine incorporation. Both types of cells expressed the IGF-I receptor and showed high contact inhibition. When highly purified nuclei from responsive cells, treated for a short time with bombesin and insulin-like growth factor-I or insulin-like growth factor-I alone, were incubated with [gamma-32P]adenosine triphosphate, the labelling of phosphatidylinositol-mono- and diphosphate decreased when compared to controls, while this transient effect did not appear in the nuclei from unresponsive cells. Similarly nuclear protein kinase C is activated only in responsive cells. Therefore, it seems that a direct link exists between polyphosphoinositide metabolism, protein kinase C activation and the early events leading to cell division, since the rapid changes in the labelling of both phosphatidylinositol mono- and di-phosphate occur only in nuclei from Swiss 3T3 cells, which respond to the mitogenic stimulus determined by insulin-like growth factor-I on its own, or in combination with bombesin. 相似文献

As a step towards the elucidation of the role played by nuclear polyphosphoinositides, we have investigated the effect of exogenous calcium free inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate on the in vitro phosphorylation of proteins in nuclei prepared from Swiss 3T3 cells treated with bombesin and insulin-like growth factor I. When present in combination with phosphatidylserine, inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate enhanced the phosphorylation of two nuclear proteins, Mr 21,000 and 31,000, as well as of exogenous histone H1, to the same extent as a combination of phosphatidylserine and diacylglycerol. Inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate alone had no effect. This stimulation could be abolished by the protein kinase C inhibitor sphingosine and by EGTA, while could be restored by a combination of phosphatidylserine and exogenous Ca+(+) ions. These results raise the possibility that inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate is capable of liberating Ca+(+) ions from a nuclear store thus stimulating protein kinase C activity. 相似文献

Peptides of the bombesin family are mitogenic for Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts and in these cells stimulate the turnover of polyphosphoinositides. Recent studies have suggested that G protein(s) may be involved in the signal transduction pathway triggered by bombesin. In this study we have found and characterized a high affinity GTPase activity stimulated by bombesin in membranes of Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts. Our results support the involvement of a G protein in the response of Swiss 3T3 cells to bombesin. 相似文献

Protein kinase D potentiates DNA synthesis and cell proliferation induced by bombesin, vasopressin, or phorbol esters in Swiss 3T3 cells 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
We examined whether protein kinase D (PKD) overexpression in Swiss 3T3 cells potentiates the proliferative response to either the G protein-coupled receptor agonists bombesin and vasopressin or the biologically active phorbol ester phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDBu). In order to generate Swiss 3T3 cells stably overexpressing PKD, cultures of these cells were infected with retrovirus encoding murine PKD and green fluorescent protein (GFP) expressed as two separate proteins translated from the same mRNA. GFP was used as a marker for selection of PKD-positive cells. PKD overexpressed in Swiss 3T3 cells was dramatically activated by cell treatment with bombesin or PDBu as judged by in vitro kinase autophosphorylation assays and exogenous substrate phosphorylation. Concomitantly, these stimuli induced PKD phosphorylation at Ser(744), Ser(748), and Ser(916). PKD activation and phosphorylation were prevented by exposure of the cells to protein kinase C-specific inhibitors. Addition of bombesin, vasopressin, or PDBu to cultures of Swiss 3T3 cells overexpressing PKD induced a striking increase in DNA synthesis and cell number compared with cultures of Swiss 3T3-GFP cells. In contrast, stimulation of DNA synthesis in response to epidermal growth factor, which acts via protein kinase C/PKD-independent pathways, was not enhanced. Our results demonstrate that overexpression of PKD selectively potentiates mitogenesis induced by bombesin, vasopressin, or PDBu in Swiss 3T3 cells. 相似文献

The experiments presented here were designed to examine the contribution of p125 focal adhesion kinase (p125FAK) tyrosine phosphorylation to the activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase cascade induced by bombesin, lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) in Swiss 3T3 cells. We found that tyrosine phosphorylation of p125FAK in response to these growth factors is completely abolished in cells treated with cytochalasin D or in cells that were suspended in serum-free medium for 30 min. In marked contrast, the activation of p42mapk by these factors was independent of the integrity of the actin cytoskeleton and of the interaction of the cells with the extracellular matrix. The protein kinase C inhibitor GF 109203X and down-regulation of protein kinase C by prolonged pretreatment of cells with phorbol esters blocked bombesin-stimulated activation of p42mapk, p90rsk, and MAPK kinase-1 but did not prevent bombesin-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of p125FAK. Furthermore, LPA-induced p42mapk activation involved a pertussis toxin-sensitive guanylate nucleotide-binding protein, whereas tyrosine phosphorylation of p125FAK in response to LPA was not prevented by pretreatment with pertussis toxin. Finally, PDGF induced maximum p42mapk activation at concentrations (30 ng/ml) that failed to induce tyrosine phosphorylation of p125FAK. Thus, our results demonstrate that p42mapk activation in response to bombesin, LPA, and PDGF can be dissociated from p125FAK tyrosine phosphorylation in Swiss 3T3 cells. 相似文献

Bombesin and bombesin-related peptides such as gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP) stimulate DNA synthesis and proliferation of Swiss 3T3 cells in culture. We have used 125I-labelled [Tyr4]bombesin and 125I-labelled GRP to characterize and identify the receptors for these peptides on Swiss 3T3 cells. The binding of 125I-[Tyr4]bombesin, which retained full biological activity, was maximal between 20 and 30 min incubation at 37 degrees C, after which continued incubation led to a decline in cell-associated radioactivity. This decline was markedly slowed by the presence of lysosomal enzyme inhibitors. Specificity of the binding site was indicated by the competitive inhibition of binding by bombesin-related peptides, but not by unrelated peptides and growth factors. Scatchard analysis of binding data indicated a single class of high-affinity receptors. The calculated value for the dissociation constant (Kd) was 2.1 nM and each cell possesses approx. 240,000 receptors. Because [Tyr4]bombesin has no free amino group, 125I-GRP was used in chemical cross-linking studies. When disuccinimidyl suberate was used to covalently couple 125I-GRP to the cells, two major radiolabelled complexes were detected with molecular masses of approx. 80,000-85,000 and 140,000. The binding of 125I-[Tyr4]bombesin to the cells was pH-dependent with maximal binding at pH 6.5-7.5 and effectively no specific binding at pH values below 4.5. At 37 degrees C, cell-associated 125I-[Tyr4]bombesin quickly became resistant to removal by acidic buffers, suggesting its rapid transfer to an intracellular compartment. However, pre-incubation with unlabelled [Tyr4]bombesin did not induce down-regulation of bombesin receptors as measured by the subsequent binding of 125I-[Tyr4]bombesin. In contrast with the Swiss 3T3 cells, specific binding of 125I-[Tyr4]bombesin was not detectable in two cell lines which are biologically unresponsive to bombesin-related peptides. 相似文献

Bombesin and the related mammalian peptides, such as gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP), are potent mitogens for some fibroblast cell lines. Here we have examined the bombesin- and GRP-mediated changes in the phosphorylation of proteins in Swiss 3T3 cells and compared these to the events observed after platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), epidermal growth factor (EGF) and tumor promoter treatment. In agreement with previous reports, bombesin, GRP and PDGF, but not EGF, increased the activity of protein kinase C. This was assayed by an inhibition of [125I]EGF binding, stimulation in phosphorylation of pp60c-src on serine 12 and stimulation in phosphorylation of a group of 80 kd proteins. The different phosphorylated forms of the 80 kd proteins were examined by tryptic peptide mapping and shown to contain multiple phosphorylation sites. An investigation of the tyrosine phosphorylation events following mitogen treatment revealed a significant difference between PDGF and the bombesin peptides. PDGF treatment caused a marked increase in total cellular phosphotyrosine levels, and tyrosine phosphorylation both of known substrates and its own receptor. In contrast, bombesin and GRP treatments resulted in only a weak or undetectable increase in tyrosine phosphorylation of total cellular protein or known substrates. In this respect bombesin and GRP were more similar to EGF. The fact that the bombesin peptides do not induce a phosphorylation response identical with either PDGF or EGF suggests that there is not a single common signal pathway which is activated by all these mitogens. 相似文献

Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) stimulates proliferation and differentiation of many cell types, including preadipocytes. We have previously shown that IGF-I stimulates proliferation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes through activation of the extracellular regulated kinase (ERK)-1 and -2 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway, and that IGF-I-stimulated MAPK is predominantly downstream of Shc, not IRS-1 phosphorylation. The Src family of nonreceptor tyrosine kinases has been shown to mediate the mitogenic effects of other growth factors that also activate Shc and the ERK-1 and -2 MAPKs. Although Src family kinases (SFK) have been implicated in IGF-I action, no specific role for SFKs in IGF-I regulation of mitogenesis has been previously demonstrated. We studied the role of SFKs in IGF-I mitogenic signaling in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. The SFK-selective inhibitor PP1 completely inhibited both IGF-I-stimulated DNA synthesis and MAPK activation in proliferating 3T3-L1 cells. PP1 inhibited IGF-I phosphorylation of Shc but not of IRS-1. In addition, IGF-I activation of MAPK was inhibited in proliferating cells transiently transfected with a dominant-negative c-Src. Finally, the kinetics of SFK and MAPK activation by IGF-I suggest that SFKs may act upstream of MAPK. IGF-I activation of SFK members c-Src and Fyn occurred within 1 min of treatment, and activity was back to baseline by 10 min. Our previous studies found that IGF-I activation of MAPK peaked at 5 min and was also back to baseline by 10 min. Our results are the first to demonstrate that SFKs mediate IGF-I mitogenic signaling in 3T3-L1 cells and add to the growing body of evidence that SFKs play a crucial role in IGF-I action. 相似文献

Swiss 3T3 cells express receptors for both the polypeptide epidermal growth factor (EGF) and the tetradecapeptide bombesin and respond mitogenically to these substances. These cells thus provide a system to analyze potential signal transduction pathways involved in mitogenic stimulation. Here we have determined and compared the early ionic responses elicited by EGF and bombesin and their relation to diacylglycerol (DG) and inositolphosphate (InsPn) production. Whereas EGF fails to cause any significant change in intracellular Ca2+, bombesin effectively induces prompt and transient Ca2+ mobilization from intracellular stores. Further support of the idea that these receptors utilize distinct signalling pathways comes from the measurements of cytoplasmic pH (pHi). As in most target cells, EGF induces a delayed (1 min) but sustained intracellular alkalinization that reaches a new steady state after approximately 10 min. Bombesin, in contrast, elicits a biphasic response; within seconds, a rapid but transient rise in pHi is observed, followed by a further slower sustained alkalinization. Inhibition of the Na+/H+ exchanger prevents both EGF as well as bombesin-induced alkalinization. However, under these conditions, bombesin evokes a rapid and sustained acidification related to the Ca2+ response. Apparently, bombesin initiates a Ca2(+)-dependent acidifying process immediately after binding of the hormone to its receptor. Furthermore, we could demonstrate that the bombesin-induced alkalinization depends on protein kinase C activation whereas the EGF response does not. Determination of the total DG and InsPn accumulation revealed that EGF is ineffective in stimulating phospholipase C-mediated production of these second messengers. In contrast, bombesin causes a rapid DG and InsPn production coinciding with the Ca2+ response and the first phase of the rise in pHi followed by a slower DG accumulation coinciding with the second alkalinization phase. Our results show that in Swiss 3T3 cells the bombesin receptor activates the hydrolysis of inositol lipids as a mechanism of signal transduction, which consequently causes changes in Ca2+i and pHi. Clearly, the EGF receptor utilizes different pathways to evoke mitogenesis and stimulates Na+/H+ exchange independently of DG production and protein kinase C activation. 相似文献

Addition of bombesin to quiescent cultures of Swiss 3T3 cells caused a rapid increase in the phosphorylation of an Mr 80,000 cellular protein (designated 80k). The effect was both concentration and time dependent; enhancement in 80k phosphorylation could be detected as early as 10 s after the addition of peptide. Recently, a rapid increase in the phosphorylation of an 80k cellular protein after treatment with phorbol esters or diacylglycerol has been shown to reflect the activation of protein kinase C in intact fibroblasts (Rozengurt, E., A. Rodriguez-Pena, and K. A. Smith, 1983, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA., 80:7244-7248; Rozengurt, E., A. Rodriguez-Pena, M. Coombs, and J. Sinnett-Smith, 1984, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA., 81:5748-5752). The 80k phosphoproteins generated in response to bombesin and to phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate were identical as judged by one- and two-dimensional PAGE and by peptide mapping after partial proteolysis with Staphylococcus aureus V8 protease. In addition, prolonged pretreatment of 3T3 cells with phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate, which leads to the disappearance of protein kinase C activity, blocked the ability of bombesin to stimulate 80k. Bombesin also caused a rapid (1 min) inhibition of 125I-labeled epidermal growth factor (125I-EGF) binding to Swiss 3T3 cells. The inhibition was both concentration and temperature dependent and resulted from a marked decrease in the affinity of the EGF receptor for its ligand. Peptides structurally related to bombesin, including gastrin-releasing peptide, also stimulated 80k phosphorylation and inhibited 125I-EGF binding; both effects were selectively blocked by a novel bombesin antagonist. These results strongly suggest that these responses are mediated by specific high-affinity receptors that recognize the peptides of the bombesin family in Swiss 3T3 cells. While an increase in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration does not mediate the bombesin inhibition of 125I-EGF binding, the activation of protein kinase C in intact Swiss 3T3 cells by peptides of the bombesin family may lead to rapid inhibition of the binding of 125I-EGF to its cellular receptor. 相似文献

The polyphosphoinositide cycle exists in the nuclei of Swiss 3T3 cells under the control of a receptor (for IGF-I) in the plasma membrane, and stimulation of the cycle increases nuclear diacylglycerol and apparently induces translocation of protein kinase C to the nucleus. 总被引:24,自引:0,他引:24

When Swiss 3T3 cells are treated with Insulin-like Growth Factor I, a rapid decrease in the mass of polyphosphoinositol lipids (phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate) occurs within the nuclei, with a concomitant increase in nuclear diacylglycerol and translocation of protein kinase C to the nuclear region. This is in contrast to the effects of the regulatory peptide, bombesin, which causes similar inositol lipid changes in the plasma membrane, has no effect on nuclear inositide levels and causes a translocation of protein kinase C to post-nuclear membranes. These results suggest the existence of a discrete nuclear polyphosphoinositide signalling system entirely distinct from the well-known plasma membrane-located system, which is under regulatory control by cell surface-located receptors. 相似文献

Bombesin is a potent mitogen for Swiss 3T3 cells and can stimulate DNA synthesis in the absence of any other growth factor. This effect is mediated by multiple synergistic signaling pathways, including an accumulation of intracellular cyclic AMP (cAMP) and an increase in c-fos mRNA expression. The cyclooxygenase inhibitor indomethacin abolished prostaglandin E2 release and substantially depressed cAMP levels induced by bombesin (EC50 congruent to 10 nM). In contrast, indomethacin at 1 microM did not affect 80K phosphorylation or Ca2+ mobilization by bombesin, indicating that cAMP synthesis can occur through a phospholipase C-independent pathway. Indomethacin caused a 30 to 35% decrease in c-fos induction and DNA synthesis in cells treated with bombesin (EC50 congruent to 40 nM). Significantly, the inhibitory effect of indomethacin was reversed in the presence of forskolin, a direct activator of adenylate cyclase. We conclude that cAMP plays a regulatory role in c-fos induction and mitogenesis in Swiss 3T3 cells treated with bombesin. 相似文献

Involvement of ligand occupancy in Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) induced cell growth in osteoblast like MC3T3-E1 cells 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Growth factors and matrix proteins regulate the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts. The insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system comprises IGF-I, IGF-II, and six high-affinity IGF-binding proteins (IGFBPs). IGFs stimulate cell growth in many types of tissue; IGF-binding proteins regulate cellular actions and can affect cell growth. IGF-I is involved in differentiation, proliferation, and matrix formation in osteoblasts; IGFBP-5 is associated with the extracellular matrix (ECM) and can potentiate the actions of IGF-I. We investigated the effect of ECM proteins on the responses of MC3T3-E1 osteoblast cells to IGF-I and IGFBP-5. In addition, because extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2 (Erk 1/2) affect cell growth, we evaluated the effects of IGFBP-5 on Erk 1/2 phosphorylation in MC3T3-E1 cells. IGF-I caused an increase in IGFBP-5 expression in cultured MC3T3-E1 cells, and IGF-I plus IGFBP-5 significantly increased cell growth. Likewise, the addition of IGF-I and IGFBP-5 to cultured MC3T3-E1 cells increased the synthesis of the ECM proteins osteopontin (OPN) and thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1), which can bind to alphaVbeta3 integrin receptors on the cell surface. By contrast, the addition of an antibody against ECM proteins inhibited the effects of OPN and TSP-1 on IGFBP-5 expression. The stimulatory effect of IGFBP-5 was mediated via Erk 1/2 activation. These data suggest that IGFBP-5 regulates Erk 1/2 phosphorylation in cultured MC3T3-E1 cells via ECM proteins that may ultimately stimulate the growth of osteoblasts. We determined whether occupation of the alphaVbeta3 integrin receptor affects IGF-I receptor (IGF-IR)-mediated signaling and function in MC3T3-E1 osteoblast cells. Occupation of the alphaVbeta3 integrin receptor with ECM proteins induced IGF-I-stimulated IGF-IR phosphorylation. Conversely, in the presence of the alphaVbeta3-specific disintegrin echistatin, IGF-I-stimulated IGF-IR activation was inhibited. IGF-I-stimulated IGF-IR phosphorylation was accompanied by IRS-1 phosphorylation and MAPK activation. However, these effects were attenuated by echistatin. Thus, occupancy of the alphaVbeta3 disintegrin receptor modulates IGF-I-induced IGF-IR activation and IGF-IR-mediated function in MC 3T3-E1 osteoblasts. 相似文献

The binding of [125I]gastrin releasing peptide ([125I]GRP) to Swiss 3T3 cells at 37 degrees C increases rapidly, reaching a maximum after 30 min and decreasing afterwards. The decrease in cell-associated radioactivity at this temperature is accompanied by extensive degradation of the labelled peptide. At 4 degrees C equilibrium binding is achieved after 6 h and [125I]GRP degradation is markedly inhibited. Extraction of surface-bound ligand at low pH demonstrates that the iodinated peptide is internalized within minutes after addition to 3T3 cells at 37 degrees C. The rate of internalization is strikingly temperature-dependent and is virtually abolished at 4 degrees C. In addition, lysomotropic agents including chloroquine increase the cell-associated radioactivity in cells incubated with [125I]GRP. The binding of [125I]GRP to Swiss 3T3 cells was not affected by pretreatment for up to 24 h with either GRP or bombesin at mitogenic concentrations. Furthermore, pretreatment with GRP did not reduce the affinity labelling of a Mr 75,000-85,000 surface protein recently identified as a putative receptor for bombesin-like peptides. These results demonstrate that while peptides of the bombesin family are rapidly internalized and degraded by Swiss 3T3 cells, the cell surface receptors for these molecules are not down-regulated. 相似文献

Bombesin induction of c-fos and c-myc proto-oncogenes in Swiss 3T3 cells: significance for the mitogenic response 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
Bombesin is a potent mitogen for Swiss 3T3 cells and acts synergistically with insulin and other growth factors. We show here that addition of bombesin to quiescent Swiss 3T3 cells causes a striking increase in the levels of c-fos and c-myc mRNAs. Enhanced expression of c-fos (122 +/- 14-fold) occurred within minutes of peptide addition followed by increased expression of c-myc (82 +/- 16-fold). The concentrations of peptide required for half-maximal increase in the levels of c-fos and c-myc mRNAs were 1.0 and 0.9 nM, respectively. The peptide [D-Arg1, D-Pro2, D-Trp7,9, Leu11] substance P which inhibits the binding of bombesin to its receptor and bombesin-stimulated DNA synthesis in Swiss 3T3 cells blocked the increase in c-fos and c-myc mRNA levels promoted by bombesin. Down-regulation of protein kinase C by long-term exposure to phorbol esters prevented c-fos and c-myc induction by bombesin. This and other results indicate that the induction of these proto-oncogenes by bombesin could be mediated by the coordinated effects of protein kinase C activation and Ca2+ mobilization. The marked synergistic effect between bombesin and insulin was used to assess whether the increase in the induction of c-fos and c-myc is an obligatory event in cell activation. In the presence of insulin, bombesin stimulated DNA synthesis at subnanomolar concentrations but had only a small effect on c-fos and c-myc mRNA levels. This apparent dissociation of mitogenesis from proto-oncogene induction was even more dramatic in 3T3 cells with down-regulated protein kinase C. In these cells bombesin stimulated DNA synthesis in the presence of insulin but failed to enhance c-fos and c-myc mRNA levels at comparable concentrations. Thus, the induction of c-fos and c-myc may be a necessary step in the mitogenic response initiated by ligands that act through activation of protein kinase C but the expression of these proto-oncogenes may not be an obligatory event in the stimulation of mitogenesis in 3T3 cells by mitogens that utilise other signalling pathways. 相似文献

Immunocytochemical evaluation of protein kinase C translocation to the inner nuclear matrix in 3T3 mouse fibroblasts after IGF-I treatment 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

The complex pathway which links the agonist-cell membrane receptor binding to the response at the genome level involves, among other elements, protein kinase C (PKC). Agonists acting at the cell membrane can affect an autonomous nuclear polyphosphoinositide signaling system inducing an activation of nuclear phosphoinositidase activity and a subsequent translocation of PKC to the nuclear region. The fine localization of PKC has been investigated by means of electron microscopy quantitative immunogold labeling in 3T3 mouse fibroblasts, mitogenically stimulated by IGF-I. The enzyme, which in untreated cells is present in the cytoplasm, except for the organelles, and in the nucleoplasm, after IGF-I treatment is reduced in the cytoplasm and almost doubled in the nucleus. The PKC isoform translocated to the nucleus is the isozyme, which is found not only associated with the nuclear envelope but mainly with the interchromatin domains. By using in situ matrix preparations, PKC appears to be retained at the nuclear matrix level, both at the nuclear lamina and at the inner nuclear matrix, suggesting a direct involvement in the phosphorylation of nuclear proteins which are responsible for the regulation of DNA replication. 相似文献

Insulin-like growth factor I and insulin rapidly increase casein kinase II activity in BALB/c 3T3 fibroblasts 总被引:23,自引:0,他引:23
We have tested whether growth factors added to serum-deprived BALB/c 3T3 fibroblasts alter the casein kinase II activity measured in cell extracts. A rapid phosphocellulose chromatography method was developed that provides a 40-fold partial purification of casein kinase II activity assayed with the specific substrate peptide Arg-Arg-Glu-Glu-Glu-Thr-Glu-Glu-Glu. Using this technique, kinase activity is stimulated 1.6-2.5-fold when isolated from fibroblasts treated with insulin or insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I). The activated kinase activity exhibits the specific properties of casein kinase II such as the ability to utilize [gamma-32P]GTP as phosphate donor and marked inhibition by low concentrations of heparin. Activation of casein kinase II appears specific for these hormones because epidermal growth factor and platelet-derived growth factor have no effect on the kinase activity when added to fibroblasts under conditions where they markedly stimulate [3H]thymidine incorporation into DNA. Increases of casein kinase II activity by insulin and IGF-I were detected within 1 min of their addition to cell cultures. IGF-I is more potent in stimulating casein kinase II than insulin in mouse fibroblasts. These results demonstrate that casein kinase II is a selective target for insulin and IGF-I action in BALB/c fibroblasts, consistent with the hypothesis that this kinase plays a role in cellular signaling by these hormones. 相似文献

Long-[Arg(3)]insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) is a potent analog of insulin-like growth factor-I that has been modified by a Glu(3) --> Arg mutation and a 13-amino acid extension appended to the N terminus. We have determined the solution structure of (15)N-labeled Long-[Arg(3)]-IGF-I using high resolution NMR and restrained molecular dynamics techniques to a precision of 0.82 +/- 0.28 A root mean square deviation for the backbone heavy atoms in the three alpha-helices and 3.5 +/- 0.9 A root mean square deviation for all backbone heavy atoms excluding the 8 N-terminal residues and the 8 C-terminal eight residues. Overall, the structure of the IGF-I domain is consistent with earlier studies of IGF-I with some minor changes remote from the N terminus. The major variations in the structure, compared with IGF-I, occur at the N terminus with a substantial reorientation of the N-terminal three residues of the IGF-I domain. These results are interpreted in terms of the lower binding affinity for insulin-like growth factor-binding proteins. The backbone dynamics of Long-[Arg(3)]IGF-I were investigated using (15)N nuclear spin relaxation and the heteronuclear nuclear Overhauser enhancement (NOE). There is a considerable degree of flexibility in Long-[Arg(3)]IGF-I, even in the alpha-helices, as indicated by an average ((1)H)(15)N NOE of 0.55 for the regions. The largest heteronuclear NOEs are observed in the helical regions, lower heteronuclear NOEs are observed in the C-domain loop separating helix 1 from helix 2, and negative heteronuclear NOEs are observed in the N-terminal extension and at the C terminus. Despite these data indicating conformational flexibility for the N-terminal extension, slow amide proton exchange was observed for some residues in this region, suggesting some transitory structure does exist, possibly a molten helix. A certain degree of flexibility may be necessary in all insulin-like growth factors to enable association with various receptors and binding proteins. 相似文献

Prolonged exposure (40 h) of Swiss 3T3 cells to bombesin induced homologous desensitization to bombesin and structurally related peptides including mammalian gastrin releasing peptide (GRP). The ability of bombesin to mobilize intracellular Ca2+, inhibit epidermal growth factor binding, and stimulate DNA synthesis was profoundly and selectively inhibited. In contrast, Ca2+ mobilization by either vasopressin or bradykinin was unaffected, indicating that chronic desensitization is mechanistically distinct from acute desensitization of Ca2+ mobilization. Prolonged (24 or 40 h) pretreatment with bombesin also induced a 78 +/- 5% loss of bombesin receptor binding sites in both intact and plasma membrane preparations of Swiss 3T3 cells without an apparent change in receptor affinity (Kd = 1.9 +/- 0.1 x 10(-9) M and Kd = 1.8 +/- 0.2 x 10(-9) M for control and pretreated cells, respectively). Loss of 125I-GRP binding was slow and progressive with half-maximal loss of binding occurring after 7 h and maximal after approximately 14 h. Cross-linking of 125I-GRP to intact cultures and membrane preparations revealed an identical time-dependent loss of the Mr = 75,000-85,000 cross-linked band, previously identified as the bombesin receptor. Prolonged exposure of the cells to phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate, epidermal growth factor, cholera toxin, or mitogenic combinations of these agents did not alter 125I-GRP binding. Receptor down-regulation and loss of mitogenic responsiveness to bombesin were: (a) induced in a parallel dose-dependent manner by bombesin (ED50 = 1 nM), GRP (ED50 = 2 nM), and neuromedin B (ED50 = 20 nM), but not by the biologically inactive fragment GRP (1-16); (b) inhibited by the specific bombesin antagonist [Leu13-psi(CH2NH)-Leu14] bombesin, and (c) reversed upon removal of bombesin with a similar time course (full recovery after 15 h). On the basis of these observations, we propose that prolonged pretreatment of Swiss 3T3 cells with bombesin induces homologous desensitization to peptides of the bombesin family by down-regulation of cell surface bombesin receptors. 相似文献
