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

Treatment of murine myotubes with high glucose concentrations (10 and 25 mM) stimulated protein degradation through the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, and also caused activation (autophosphorylation) of PKR (double-stranded-RNA-dependent protein kinase) and eIF2α (eukaryotic initiation factor 2α). Phosphorylation of PKR and eIF2α was also seen in the gastrocnemius muscle of diabetic ob/ob mice. High glucose levels also inhibited protein synthesis. The effect of glucose on protein synthesis and degradation was not seen in myotubes transfected with a catalytically inactive variant (PKRΔ6). High glucose also induced an increased activity of both caspase-3 and -8, which led to activation of PKR, since this was completely attenuated by the specific caspase inhibitors. Activation of PKR also led to activation of p38MAPK (mitogen activated protein kinase), leading to ROS (reactive oxygen species) formation, since this was attenuated by the specific p38MAPK inhibitor SB203580. ROS formation was important in protein degradation, since it was completely attenuated by the antioxidant butylated hydroxytoluene. These results suggest that high glucose induces muscle atrophy through the caspase-3/-8 induced activation of PKR, leading to phosphorylation of eIF2α and depression of protein synthesis, together with PKR-mediated ROS production, through p38MAPK and increased protein degradation. 相似文献

Chronic exposure to saturated fatty acids can cause insulin resistance. However, the acute effects of fatty acids are not clear and need to be elucidated because plasma fatty acid concentrations fluctuate postprandially. Here, we present the acute effects of palmitate (PA) on skeletal muscle cells and their underlying molecular mechanisms. Immuno-fluorescence results showed that PA rapidly induced GLUT4 translocation and stimulated glucose uptake in rat skeletal muscle cell line L6. Phosphorylation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), Akt, and extracellular signal-related kinase1/2 (ERK1/2) was enhanced by PA in a time-dependent manner. Cell surface-bound PA was sufficient to stimulate Akt phosphorylation. The inhibitors of PI3 kinase (PI3K), AMPK, Akt, and ERK1/2 could decrease PA-induced glucose uptake, and PI3K inhibitor decreased AMPK, Akt, and ERK1/2 phosphorylation. Weakening AMPK activity reduced phosphorylation of Akt but not ERK1/2, and Akt inhibitor could not affect ERK1/2 activation either. Meanwhile, ERK1/2 inhibitors had no effect on Akt phosphorylation. Taken together, our data suggest that PA-mediated glucose uptake in skeletal muscle cells may be stimulated by the binding of PA to cell surface and followed by PI3K/AMPK/Akt and PI3K/ERK1/2 pathways independently. 相似文献

To understand the role of arachidonic acid (AA) in regulating vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) growth, its effects on phosphorylation of Akt, S6K1, ribosomal protein S6, 4EBP1, and eIF4E were studied. Arachidonic acid stimulated phosphorylation of Akt, S6K1, ribosomal protein S6, 4EBP1, and eIF4E in a time-dependent manner in VSMC. Arachidonic acid stimulation of phosphorylation of the above signaling molecules is specific, as these events were not affected by other unsaturated or saturated fatty acids. Metabolic conversion of AA via the LOX/MOX and/or COX pathways, to some extent, was required for its effects on the phosphorylation of Akt, S6K1, ribosomal protein S6, 4EBP1, and eIF4E. In addition, AA increased PI3K activity in a time-dependent manner in VSMC. LY294002, an inhibitor of PI3K, completely blocked AA-induced phosphorylation of Akt, S6K1, ribosomal protein S6, 4EBP1, and eIF4E, suggesting a role for PI3K in these effects. Consistent with its effects on translation initiation signaling events, AA induced global protein synthesis in VSMC and this response was dependent, to some extent, on its metabolism via the LOX/MOX and/or COX pathways, and mediated by the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway. Thus, the above observations provide the first biochemical evidence for the role of AA in the activation of translation initiation signaling in VSMC. 相似文献

We have previously shown that liposomes coated with a neoglycolipid constructed from mannotriose and dipalmitoylphosphatidylethanolamine (Man3-DPPE) activate peritoneal macrophages to induce enhanced expression of co-stimulatory molecules and MHC class II. In this study, we investigated the signaling pathways activated by the Man3-DPPE-coated liposomes (OMLs) in a murine macrophage cell line, J774A.1. In response to OML stimulation, ERK among MAPKs was clearly and transiently phosphorylated in J774 cells. ERK phosphorylation was also induced by treatment of the cells with Man3-DPPE and Man3-BSA, but not by uncoated liposomes. In addition, rapid and transient phosphorylation of Akt and Src family kinases (SFKs) was observed in response to OMLs. OML-induced ERK phosphorylation was inhibited by specific inhibitors of PI3K and SFKs, and OML-induced Akt phosphorylation was inhibited by a inhibitor of SFKs. Therefore, OMLs may activate the PI3K/Akt pathway through phosphorylation of Src family kinases to induce ERK activation. 相似文献

Genetically engineered Sindbis viruses (SIN) are excellent oncolytic agents in preclinical models. Several human cancers have aberrant Akt signaling, and kinase inhibitors including rapamycin are currently tested in combination therapies with oncolytic viruses. Therefore, it was of interest to delineate possible cross-regulation between SIN replication and PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling. Here, using HEK293T cells as host, we report the following key findings: (a) robust SIN replication occurs in the presence of mTOR specific inhibitors, rapamycin and torin1 or Ly294002 – a PI3K inhibitor, suggesting a lack of requirement for PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling; (b) suppression of phosphorylation of Akt, mTOR and its effectors S6, and 4E-BP1 occurs late during SIN infection: a viral function that may be beneficial in counteracting cellular drug resistance to kinase inhibitors; (c) Ly294002 and SIN act additively to suppress PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway with little effect on virus release; and (d) SIN replication induces host translational shut off, phosphorylation of eIF2α and apoptosis. This first report on the potent inhibition of Akt/mTOR signaling by SIN replication, bolsters further studies on the development and evaluation of engineered SIN genotypes in vitro and in vivo for unique cytolytic functions. 相似文献

N-alpha-tosyl-l-phenylalanyl chloromethyl ketone (TPCK) has anti-tumorigenic properties, but its direct cellular targets are unknown. Previously, we showed TPCK inhibited the PDKl-dependent AGC kinases RSK, Akt and S6K1 without inhibiting PKA, ERK1/2, PI3K, and PDK1 itself. Here we show TPCK-inhibition of the RSK-related kinases MSK1 and 2, which can be activated independently of PDK1. Mass spectrometry analysis of RSK1, Aktl, S6K1 and MSK1 immunopurified from TPCK-treated cells identified TPCK adducts on cysteines located in conserved activation loop Phenylalanine-Cysteine (Phe-Cys) motifs. Mutational analysis of the Phe-Cys residues conferred partial TPCK resistance. These studies elucidate a primary mechanism by which TPCK inhibits several AGC kinases, inviting consideration of TPCK-like compounds in chemotherapy given their potential for broad control of cellular growth, proliferation and survival. 相似文献

Background information. The translational inhibitor protein 4E‐BP1 [eIF4E (eukaryotic initiation factor 4E)‐binding protein 1] regulates the availability of polypeptide chain initiation factor eIF4E for protein synthesis. Initiation factor eIF4E binds the 5′ cap structure present on all cellular mRNAs. Its ability to associate with initiation factors eIF4G and eIF4A, forming the eIF4F complex, brings the mRNA to the 43S complex during the initiation of translation. Binding of eIF4E to eIF4G is inhibited in a competitive manner by 4E‐BP1. Phosphorylation of 4E‐BP1 decreases the affinity of this protein for eIF4E, thus favouring the binding of eIF4G and enhancing translation. We have previously shown that induction or activation of the tumour suppressor protein p53 rapidly leads to 4E‐BP1 dephosphorylation, resulting in sequestration of eIF4E, decreased formation of the eIF4F complex and inhibition of protein synthesis. Results. We now report that activation of p53 also results in modification of 4E‐BP1 to a truncated form. Unlike full‐length 4E‐BP1, which is reversibly phosphorylated at multiple sites, the truncated protein is almost completely unphosphorylated. Moreover, the latter interacts with eIF4E in preference to full‐length 4E‐BP1. Inhibitor studies indicate that the p53‐induced cleavage of 4E‐BP1 is mediated by the proteasome and is blocked by conditions that inhibit the dephosphorylation of full‐length 4E‐BP1. Measurements of the turnover of 4E‐BP1 indicate that the truncated form is much more stable than the full‐length protein. Conclusions. The results suggest a model in which proteasome activity gives rise to a stable, hypophosphorylated and truncated form of 4E‐BP1, which may exert a long‐term inhibitory effect on the availability of eIF4E, thus contributing to the inhibition of protein synthesis and the growth‐inhibitory and pro‐apoptotic effects of p53. 相似文献

Caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE), a flavonoid-like compound, is one of the major components of honeybee propolis. In the present study, we investigated the metabolic effects of CAPE in skeletal muscle cells and found that CAPE stimulated glucose uptake in differentiated L6 rat myoblast cells and also activated AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase). In addition, the inhibition of AMPK blocked CAPE-induced glucose uptake, and CAPE activated the Akt pathway in a PI3K (phosphoinositide 3-kinase)-dependent manner. Furthermore, CAPE enhanced both insulin-mediated Akt activation and glucose uptake. In summary, our results suggest that CAPE may have beneficial roles in glucose metabolism via stimulation of the AMPK pathway. 相似文献

Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-7 is considered to play essential roles in cancer progression. We examined the efficacy of auraptene, a citrus coumarin derivative, for suppressing MMP-7 expression in the human colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line HT-29. Auraptene remarkably inhibited the production of proMMP-7 protein, without affecting its mRNA expression level. Rapamycin, an inhibitor of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), showed similar results, suggesting that auraptene suppresses mTOR-dependent proMMP-7 translation. Interestingly, however, auraptene showed no effects on the activation of Akt/mTOR signaling, whereas the phosphorylation levels of 4E binding protein (4EBP)1 and eukaryotic translation initiation factor (eIF)4B were substantially decreased. In addition, auraptene remarkably dephosphorylated constitutively activated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)1/2. Transfection of ERK1/2 siRNA led to a significant reduction of proMMP-7 protein production as well as of the phosphorylation of eIF4B. These results demonstrate that auraptene targets the translation step for proMMP-7 protein synthesis by disrupting ERK1/2-mediated phosphorylation of 4EBP1 and eIF4B. 相似文献

Decreased translation initiation adversely impacts protein synthesis and contributes to the myocardial dysfunction produced by sepsis. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to identify sepsis-induced changes in signal transduction pathways known to regulate translation initiation in cardiac muscle and to determine whether the stimulatory effects of leucine can reverse the observed defects. To address this aim, sepsis was produced by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) in anesthetized rats and the animals studied in the fasted condition 24 h later. Separate groups of septic and time-matched control rats also received an oral gavage of leucine. To identify potential mechanisms responsible for regulating cap-dependent mRNA translation in cardiac muscle, several eukaryotic initiation factors (eIFs) were examined. Under basal conditions, hearts from septic rats demonstrated a redistribution of the rate-limiting factor eIF4E due to increased binding of the translational repressor 4E-BP1 with eIF4E. However, this change was independent of an alteration in the phosphorylation state of 4E-BP1. The phosphorylation of mTOR, S6K1, the ribosomal protein (rp) S6, and eIF4G was not altered in hearts from septic rats under basal conditions. In control rats, leucine failed to alter eIF4E distribution but increased the phosphorylation of S6K1 and S6. In contrast, in hearts from septic rats leucine acutely reversed the alterations in eIF4E distribution. However, the ability of leucine to increase S6K1 and rpS6 phosphorylation in septic hearts was blunted. Sepsis increased the content of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha in heart and pre-treatment of rats with a TNF antagonist prevented the above-mentioned sepsis-induced changes. These data indicate that oral administration of leucine acutely reverses sepsis-induced alterations eIF4E distribution observed under basal conditions but the anabolic actions of this amino acid on S6K1 and rpS6 phosphorylation remain blunted, providing evidence for a leucine resistance. Finally, TNFalpha, either directly or indirectly, appears to mediate the sepsis-induced defects in myocardial translation initiation. 相似文献

Since hypoxia might contribute to the development of muscle atrophy, we wished to provide direct evidence linking hypoxia to muscle atrophy. By evaluating protein degradation and synthesis in hypoxic myotubes we found a significant reduction in total protein content. Using functional assays we observed protein degradation elevation in the first 24 h while synthesis was maintained during this period and then significantly decrease at 48 h. These results demonstrate a temporal regulation of protein homeostasis, whereby elevated protein degradation is followed by a reduction in synthesis. These results are comparable to the cellular adaptation seen during development of muscle atrophy. 相似文献

Activity-dependent NMDA receptor-mediated activation of protein kinase B/Akt in cortical neuronal cultures 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The serine/threonine protein kinase B (PKB)/Akt is a phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) effector that is thought to play an important roll in a wide variety of cellular events. The present study examined whether PKB activation in cortical neuronal cultures is coupled with synaptic activity. A 1-h incubation of neuronal cultures with tetrodotoxin (TTX), the PI3K inhibitor wortmannin, the NMDA receptor antagonist MK-801 or removal of extracellular calcium significantly reduced basal levels of phospho(Ser473)-PKB, indicating that activity-dependent glutamate release maintains PKB activation through an NMDA receptor-PI3K pathway. A 5-min exposure to NMDA (50 micro m) in the presence of TTX increased phospho-PKB back to levels observed in the absence of TTX. NMDA stimulation of phospho-PKB was blocked by wortmannin, the CaMKII inhibitor KN-93, MK-801, and removal of extracellular calcium. We have previously shown that NMDA receptors can bi-directionally regulate activation of extracellular-signal regulated kinase (ERK), and NMDA receptor stimulation of PKB in the present study appeared to mirror activation of ERK. These results suggest that in cultured cortical neurons, PKB activity is dynamically regulated by synaptic activity and is coupled to NMDA receptor activation. In addition, NMDA receptor activation of ERK and PKB may occur through overlapping signaling pathways that bifurcate at the level of Ras. 相似文献

d-Myo-inositol 1,2,6-triphosphate (alpha trinositol, AT) has been shown to attenuate muscle atrophy in a murine cachexia model through an increase in protein synthesis and a decrease in degradation. The mechanism of this effect has been investigated in murine myotubes using a range of catabolic stimuli, including proteolysis-inducing factor (PIF), angiotensin II (Ang II), lipopolysaccharide, and tumor necrosis factor-α/interferon-γ. At a concentration of 100 μM AT was found to attenuate both the induction of protein degradation and depression of protein synthesis in response to all stimuli. The effect on protein degradation was accompanied by attenuation of the increased expression and activity of the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. This suggests that AT inhibits a signalling step common to all four agents. This target has been shown to be activation (autophosphorylation) of the dsRNA-dependent protein kinase (PKR) and the subsequent phosphorylation of eukaryotic initiation factor 2 on the α-subunit, together with downstream signalling pathways leading to protein degradation. AT also inhibited activation of caspase-3/-8, which is thought to lead to activation of PKR. The mechanism of this effect may be related to the ability of AT to chelate divalent metal ions, since the attenuation of the increased activity of the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway by PIF and Ang II, as well as the depression of protein synthesis by PIF, were reversed by increasing concentrations of Zn2+. The ability of AT to attenuate muscle atrophy by a range of stimuli suggests that it may be effective in several catabolic conditions. 相似文献

We previously demonstrated that coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) infection upregulated heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) and promoted CVB3 multiplication. Here, we report the underlying mechanism by which Hsp70 enhances viral RNA translation. By using an Hsp70‐overexpressing cell line infected with CVB3, we found that Hsp70 enhanced CVB3 VP1 translation at two stages. First, Hsp70 induced upregulation of VP1 translation at the initiation stage via upregulation of internal ribosome entry site trans‐acting factor lupus autoantigen protein and activation of eIF4E binding protein 1, a cap‐dependent translation suppressor. Second, we found that Hsp70 increased CVB3 VP1 translation by enhancing translation elongation. This was mediated by the Akt‐mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 signal cascade, which led to the activation of eukaryotic elongation factor 2 via p70S6K‐ and cell division cycle protein 2 homolog (Cdc2)‐mediated phosphorylation and inactivation of eukaryotic elongation factor 2 kinase. We also determined the position of Cdc2 in this signal pathway, indicating that Cdc2 is regulated by mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1. This signal transduction pathway was validated using a number of specific pharmacological inhibitors, short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) and a dominant negative Akt plasmid. Because Hsp70 is a central component of the cellular network of molecular chaperones enhancing viral replication, these data may provide new strategies to limit this viral infection. 相似文献

In this study, we demonstrate that interleukin-4 (IL-4) protects human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell line Hep3B from apoptosis induced by transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β). Further investigation of IL-4-transduced signaling pathways revealed that both insulin response substrate 1 and 2 (IRS-1/-2) and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) pathways were activated after IL-4 stimulation. The IRS-1/-2 activation was accompanied by the activation of phosphotidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K), leading to Akt and p70 ribosomal protein S6 kinase (p70S6K). Interestingly, a protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor, Gö6976, inhibited the phosphorylation of Akt, suggesting that the Akt activation was PKC-dependent. Using specific inhibitors for PI3K or ERK, we demonstrated that the PI3K pathway, but not the ERK pathway, was required for protection. The constitutively active form of PI3K almost completely rescued TGF-β-induced apoptosis, further supporting the importance of the PI3K pathway in the protective effect of IL-4. Furthermore, a dominant negative Akt and/or Gö6976 only partially blocked the anti-apoptotic effect of IL-4. Similarly, rapamycin, which interrupted the activation of p70S6K, also only partially blocked the protective effect of IL-4. However, in the presence of both rapamycin and dominant negative Akt with or without Gö6976, IL-4 almost completely lost the anti-apoptotic effect, suggesting that both Akt and p70S6K pathways were required for the protective effect of IL-4 against TGF-β-induced apoptosis. 相似文献

Aberrant overexpression of antiapoptotic members of the Bcl-2 protein family contributes to resistance to anticancer therapeutic
drugs. Thus, this protein represent attractive target for novel anticancer agents. In the present study, we determined the
effect of the anti-apoptosis protein Bcl-2 on caspase-3 activation, PLC-γ1 degradation and Akt activation during the various
anticancer agents-induced apoptosis. Treatment with chrysin for 12 h produced morphological features of apoptosis in U937
cells, which was associated with caspase-3 activation and PLC-γ1 degradation. Induction of apoptosis was also accompanied
by down-regulation of XIAP and inactivation of Akt. Chrysin-induced caspase-3 activation, PLC-γ1 degradation and apoptosis
were significantly attenuated in Bcl-2 overexpressing U937/Bcl-2 cells. Ectopic expression of Bcl-2 appeared to inhibit ceramide-,
and Akt specific inhibitor (SH-6)-induced apoptosis by sustained Akt activation. Thus, our findings imply that some of the
biological functions of Bcl-2 may be attributed to their ability to inhibit anticancer agents-induced apoptosis through the
sustained Akt activation. 相似文献
