Signaling pathways underlying transition of cardiomyocyte growth from hyperplasia in fetal/newborn to hypertrophy in postnatal/adult hearts are not well understood. We have shown that beta-adrenergic receptor (beta-AR)-mediated regulation of neonatal cardiomyocyte proliferation involves p70 ribosomal protein S6 kinase (p70S6K). Here we examined the ontogeny of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/p70S6K signaling pathway in rat hearts and investigated the influence of beta-AR on this pathway during development. Cardiac PI3K and p70S6K1 activities were high in the embryonic day 20 fetus, decreased gradually postnatally, and were low in the adult. In contrast, p70S6K2 was barely detectable. Phosphorylation of p70S6K1, Akt, and phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase 1 were markedly increased in late gestation and early postnatal life but not in adult hearts. Phosphatase and tensin homolog on chromosome 10 (PTEN), a negative regulator of PI3K, was highly expressed in adult hearts but only at low levels and mostly in the phosphorylated (inactivated) form in the fetus. Beta-AR stimulation resulted in increased cardiac p70S6K1 activity only in animals > or = 2 wk old, whereas Akt level was increased in all developmental stages tested. These increases were accompanied by increased Bcl-2 associated death promoter (Ser136) phosphorylation without changes in PTEN level. Thus there is globally high input of cardiac PI3K signaling during the fetal-neonatal transition period. Inactivation of PTEN may in part contribute to the high activity of PI3K signaling, which coincides with the period of high cardiomyocyte proliferation. Beta-AR stimulation activates cardiac p70S6K1 and Akt in postnatal animals and may activate cardiac survival signals. These data provide further evidence for the importance of beta-AR and PI3K signaling in the regulation of cardiac growth during development. 相似文献

We consider a kinetic law of mass action model for Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF) signaling, focusing on the induction of
the RAS-MAP kinase pathway via GRB2 binding. Our biologically simple model suffers a combinatorial explosion in the number
of differential equations required to simulate the system. In addition to numerically solving the full model, we show that
it can be accurately simplified. This requires combining matched asymptotics, the quasi-steady state hypothesis, and the fact
subsets of the equations decouple asymptotically. Both the full and simplified models reproduce the qualitative dynamics observed
experimentally and in previous stochastic models. The simplified model also elucidates both the qualitative features of GRB2
binding and the complex relationship between SHP2 levels, the rate SHP2 induces dephosphorylation and levels of bound GRB2.
In addition to providing insight into the important and redundant features of FGF signaling, such work further highlights
the usefulness of numerous simplification techniques in the study of mass action models of signal transduction, as also illustrated
recently by Borisov and co-workers (Borisov et al. in Biophys. J. 89, 951–966, 2005, Biosystems 83, 152–166, 2006; Kiyatkin et al. in J. Biol. Chem. 281, 19925–19938, 2006). These developments will facilitate the construction of tractable models of FGF signaling, incorporating further biological
realism, such as spatial effects or realistic binding stoichiometries, despite a more severe combinatorial explosion associated
with the latter. 相似文献

During brain aging and progression of Alzheimer’s disease, the levels of Aβ and proinflammatory cytokines accumulate very
early in the pathogenic process prior to any major degenerative changes. Accumulation of these molecules may impair with signal
transduction pathways critical for neuronal health. Neurotrophin signaling is a critical mechanism involved in synaptic plasticity,
learning and memory and neuronal health. We have recently shown that exposure to low levels of Aβ impairs BDNF trkB signal
transduction, suppressing the Ras/ERK, and the PI3-K/Akt pathways but not the PLCγ pathway. As a result, downstream regulation
of gene expression and neuronal viability are impaired. Recently, we have found that at least three agents – Aβ, TNFα, Il-1β
– suppress TrkB signaling and act via a common and novel mechanism. These factors all regulate the docking proteins (e.g.,
IRS and Shc) that link the activated Trk receptor to downstream effectors. While this is a novel mechanism underlying regulation
of Trk signaling, such a mechanism has been identified for the insulin/IGF-1 receptor in the presence of proinflammatory cytokines
and is one of the mechanisms for insulin/IGF-resistance, which is a key risk factor for type II diabetes (1). We suggest that accumulation of AB and proinflammatory cytokines during aging generates in the brain a “neurotrophin resistance”
state that places the brain at risk for cognitive decline and dementia. 相似文献

We tested the contribution of β2-integrins, which are important for normal function of neutrophils and macrophages, to skeletal muscle hypertrophy after mechanical loading. Using the synergist ablation model of hypertrophy and mice deficient in the common β-subunit of β2-integrins (CD18–/–), we found that overloaded muscles of wild-type mice had greater myofiber size, dry muscle mass, and total protein content compared with CD18–/– mice. The hypertrophy in wild-type mice was preceded by elevations in neutrophils, macrophages, satellite cell/myoblast proliferation (5'-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine- and desmin-positive cells), markers of muscle differentiation (MyoD1 and myogenin gene expression and formation and size of regenerating myofibers), signaling for protein synthesis [phosphorylation of Akt and 70-kDa ribosomal protein S6 kinase (p70S6k)], and reduced signaling for protein degradation (decreased gene expression of muscle atrophy F box/atrogin-1). The deficiency in β2-integrins, however, altered the accumulation profile of neutrophils and macrophages, disrupted the temporal profile of satellite cell/myoblast proliferation, reduced the markers of muscle differentiation, and impaired the p70S6k signaling, all of which could serve as mechanisms for the impaired hypertrophy in overloaded CD18–/– mice. In conclusion, our findings indicate that β2-integrins contribute to the hypertrophic response to muscle overload by temporally regulating satellite cells/myoblast proliferation and by enhancing muscle differentiation and p70S6k signaling. skeletal muscle growth; neutrophils; macrophages; compensatory hypertrophy 相似文献

IL-4 is an important B cell survival and growth factor. IL-4 induced the tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS2 in resting B lymphocytes and in LPS- or CD40L-activated blasts. Phosphorylated IRS2 coprecipitated with the p85 subunit of PI 3' kinase in both resting and activated cells. By contrast, association of phosphorylated IRS2 with GRB2 was not detected in resting B cells after IL-4 treatment although both proteins were expressed. However, IL-4 induced association of IRS2 with GRB2 in B cell blasts. The pattern of IL-4-induced recruitment of p85 and GRB2 to IRS2 observed in B cells derived from STAT6 null mice was identical to that observed for normal mice. While IL-4 alone does not induce activation of MEK, a MEK1 inhibitor suppressed the IL-4-induced proliferative response of LPS-activated B cell blasts. These results demonstrate that costimulation of splenic B cells alters IL-4-induced signal transduction independent of STAT6 leading to proliferation. Furthermore, proliferation induced by IL-4 in LPS-activated blasts is dependent upon the MAP kinase pathway. 相似文献

Autophosphorylated growth factor receptors provide binding sites for the src homology 2 domains of intracellular signaling molecules. In response to epidermal growth factor (EGF), the activated EGF receptor binds to a complex containing the signaling protein GRB2 and the Ras guanine nucleotide-releasing factor Sos, leading to activation of the Ras signaling pathway. We have investigated whether the platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) receptor binds GRB2-Sos. In contrast with the EGF receptor, the GRB2 does not bind to the PDGF receptor directly. Instead, PDGF stimulation induces the formation of a complex containing GRB2; 70-, 80-, and 110-kDa tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins; and the PDGF receptor. Moreover, GRB2 binds directly to the 70-kDa protein but not to the PDGF receptor. Using a panel of PDGF beta-receptor mutants with altered tyrosine phosphorylation sites, we identified Tyr-1009 in the PDGF receptor as required for GRB2 binding. Binding is inhibited by a phosphopeptide containing a YXNX motif. The protein tyrosine phosphatase Syp/PTP1D/SHPTP2/PTP2C is approximately 70 kDa, binds to the PDGF receptor via Tyr-1009, and contains several YXNX sequences. We found that the 70-kDa protein that binds to the PDGF receptor and to GRB2 comigrates with Syp and is recognized by anti-Syp antibodies. Furthermore, both GRB2 and Sos coimmunoprecipitate with Syp from lysates of PDGF-stimulated cells, and GRB2 binds directly to tyrosine-phosphorylated Syp in vitro. These results indicate that GRB2 interacts with different growth factor receptors by different mechanisms and the cytoplasmic phosphotyrosine phosphatase Syp acts as an adapter between the PDGF receptor and the GRB2-Sos complex. 相似文献

The neural control of micturition undergoes marked changes during the early postnatal development. During the first few postnatal
weeks, the spinal micturition reflex is gradually replaced by a spinobulbospinal reflex pathway that is responsible for micturition
in adult animals. Upregulation of brainstem regulation of spinal micturition pathways may contribute to development of mature
voiding patterns. We examined the expression of corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF), present in descending projections from
Barrington's nucleus to the sacral parasympathetic nucleus (SPN), in postnatal (P0–P36) and adult Wistar rats (P60–90). CRF-immunoreactivity
(IR) was present predominantly in the SPN region, although some staining was also observed in the dorsal horn and dorsal commissure
in L5–S1 spinal segments. CRF-IR in spinal cord regions was age dependent (R
2=0.87–0.98). The majority of the CRF-IR in the lumbosacral spinal cord was eliminated by complete spinalization (2–3 weeks).
Double-label immunohistochemistry was combined with quantitative confocal laser scanning microscopy to quantify the number
and percentage of colocalization between CRF-immunoreactive varicosities and preganglionic somas or proximal neurites in the
SPN in postnatal and adult rats. Results demonstrate an age-dependent upregulation of CRF-IR in the SPN region and specifically
in association with preganglionic parasympathetic neurons identified with neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS)-IR. CRF-immunoreactive
varicosities on or within a 1 μm perimeter of nNOS-immunoreactive somas or proximal neurites also increased with postnatal
age. The upregulation of CRF-IR in bulbospinal projections to the SPN may contribute to mature voiding reflexes.

It is well known that growth hormone (GH)-induced IGF-1 signaling plays a dominant role in postnatal muscle growth. Our previous studies have identified a growth factor, progranulin (PGRN), that is co-induced with IGF-1 upon GH administration. This result prompted us to explore the function of PGRN and its association with IGF-1. In the present study, we demonstrated that, similar to IGF-1, PGRN can promote C2C12 myotube hypertrophy via the PI(3)K/Akt/mTOR pathway. Moreover, PGRN can rescue the muscle atrophy phenotypes in C2C12 myotube when IGF-1 signaling is blocked. This result shows that PGRN can substitute for IGF-1 signaling in the regulation of muscle growth. Our findings provide new insights into IGF-1-modulated complicated networks that regulate muscle growth. 相似文献

The regulation of endothelial function by insulin is consistently abnormal in insulin-resistant states and diabetes. Protein kinase C (PKC) activation has been reported to inhibit insulin signaling selectively in endothelial cells via the insulin receptor substrate/PI3K/Akt pathway to reduce the activation of endothelial nitric-oxide synthase (eNOS). In this study, it was observed that PKC activation differentially inhibited insulin receptor substrate 1/2 (IRS1/2) signaling of insulin's activation of PI3K/eNOS by decreasing only tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS2. In addition, PKC activation, by general activator and specifically by angiotensin II, increased the phosphorylation of p85/PI3K, which decreases its association with IRS1 and activation. Thr-86 of p85/PI3K was identified to be phosphorylated by PKC activation and confirmed to affect IRS1-mediated activation of Akt/eNOS by insulin and VEGF using a deletion mutant of the Thr-86 region of p85/PI3K. Thus, PKC and angiotensin-induced phosphorylation of Thr-86 of p85/PI3K may partially inhibit the activation of PI3K/eNOS by multiple cytokines and contribute to endothelial dysfunction in metabolic disorders. 相似文献

Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) induces skeletal muscle hypertrophy by activating the IGF1R/IRS1/PI3K/Akt pathway. However the effect of IGF1 in differentiated muscle is limited by IRS1 ubiquitination and proteasome-mediated breakdown. In skeletal muscle, IGF1R activation sensitizes IRS1 to degradation, and a screen for the responsible E3 ligase identified Fbxo40 as mediating this rapid turnover of IRS1, since IRS1 loss can be rescued by knockdown of Fbxo40. In biochemical assays, an SCF E3 ligase complex containing Fbxo40 directly ubiquitinates IRS1, and this activity is enhanced by increased tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS1. Fbxo40 is muscle specific in expression and is upregulated during differentiation. Knockdown of Fbxo40 induces dramatic hypertrophy of myofibers. Mice null for Fbxo40 have increased levels of IRS1 and demonstrate enhanced body and muscle size during the growth phase associated with elevated IGF1 levels. These findings establish an important means of restraining IGF1's effects on skeletal muscle. 相似文献

A cDNA clone encoding a novel, widely expressed protein (called growth factor receptor-bound protein 2 or GRB2) containing one src homology 2 (SH2) domain and two SH3 domains was isolated. Immunoblotting experiments indicate that GRB2 associates with tyrosine-phosphorylated epidermal growth factor receptors (EGFRs) and platelet-derived growth factor receptors (PDGFRs) via its SH2 domain. Interestingly, GRB2 exhibits striking structural and functional homology to the C. elegans protein sem-5. It has been shown that sem-5 and two other genes called let-23 (EGFR like) and let-60 (ras like) lie along the same signal transduction pathway controlling C. elegans vulval induction. To examine whether GRB2 is also a component of ras signaling in mammalian cells, microinjection studies were performed. While injection of GRB2 or H-ras proteins alone into quiescent rat fibroblasts did not have mitogenic effect, microinjection of GRB2 together with H-ras protein stimulated DNA synthesis. These results suggest that GRB2/sem-5 plays a crucial role in a highly conserved mechanism for growth factor control of ras signaling. 相似文献

BackgroundBoth Wnt signaling and TGF-β signaling have been implicated in the regulation of the phenotype of many cell types including chondrocytes, the only cell type present in the articular cartilage. A changed chondrocyte phenotype, resulting in chondrocyte hypertrophy, is one of the main hallmarks of osteoarthritis. TGF-β signaling via activin-like kinase (ALK)5, resulting in Smad 2/3 phosphorylation, inhibits chondrocyte hypertrophy. In contrast, TGF-β signaling via ALK1, leading to Smad 1/5/8 phosphorylation, has been shown to induce chondrocyte hypertrophy. In this study, we investigated the capability of Wnt3a and WISP1, a protein downstream in canonical Wnt signaling, to skew TGF-β signaling in chondrocytes from the protective Smad 2/3 towards the Smad 1/5/8 pathway.ResultsStimulation with Wnt3a, either alone or in combination with its downstream protein WISP1, decreased TGF-β-induced C-terminal phosphorylation of Smad 2/3. In addition, both Wnt3a and WISP1 increased Smad 1/5/8 phosphorylation at the C-terminal domain in both murine and human chondrocytes. DKK-1, a selective inhibitor of canonical Wnt signaling, abolished these effects. TGF-β signaling via Smad 2/3, measured by the functional CAGA12-Luc reporter construct activity, was decreased by stimulation with Wnt3a in accordance with the decrease in Smad 2/3 phosphorylation found on Western blot. Furthermore, in vivo overexpression of the canonical Wnt8a decreased Smad 2/3 phosphorylation and increased Smad 1/5/8 phosphorylation.ConclusionsOur data show that canonical Wnt signaling is able to skew TGF-β signaling towards dominant signaling via the ALK1/Smad 1/5/8 pathway, which reportedly leads to chondrocyte hypertrophy. In this way canonical Wnts and WISP1, which we found to be increased during experimental osteoarthritis, may contribute to osteoarthritis pathology. 相似文献

Resistin has been suggested to be involved in the development of diabetes and insulin resistance. We recently reported that resistin is expressed in diabetic hearts and promotes cardiac hypertrophy; however, the mechanisms underlying this process are currently unknown. Therefore, we wanted to elucidate the mechanisms associated with resistin-induced cardiac hypertrophy and myocardial insulin resistance. Overexpression of resistin using adenoviral vector in neonatal rat ventricular myocytes was associated with inhibition of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activity, activation of tuberous sclerosis complex 2/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway, and increased cell size, [(3)H]leucine incorporation (i.e. protein synthesis) and mRNA expression of the hypertrophic marker genes, atrial natriuretic factor, brain natriuretic peptide, and β-myosin heavy chain. Activation of AMPK with 5-aminoimidazole-4-carbozamide-1-β-D-ribifuranoside or inhibition of mTOR with rapamycin or mTOR siRNA attenuated these resistin-induced changes. Furthermore, resistin increased serine phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate (IRS1) through the activation of the apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1/c-Jun N-terminal Kinase (JNK) pathway, a module known to stimulate insulin resistance. Inhibition of JNK (with JNK inhibitor SP600125 or using dominant-negative JNK) reduced serine 307 phosphorylation of IRS1. Resistin also stimulated the activation of p70(S6K), a downstream kinase target of mTOR, and increased phosphorylation of the IRS1 serine 636/639 residues, whereas treatment with rapamycin reduced the phosphorylation of these residues. Interestingly, these in vitro signaling pathways were also operative in vivo in ventricular tissues from adult rat hearts overexpressing resistin. These data demonstrate that resistin induces cardiac hypertrophy and myocardial insulin resistance, possibly via the AMPK/mTOR/p70(S6K) and apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1/JNK/IRS1 pathways. 相似文献
