Palladin and alpha-actinin are major components of stress fiber dense bodies, cardiomyocyte Z-discs and neuronal synapses. They function as structural molecules and cytoskeletal regulators but also as docking sites to other proteins. Both antisense and transient overexpression experiments have shown that palladin plays an important role in the regulation of actin cytoskeleton. ArgBP2 is a multi-domain scaffolding protein which shares both the tissue distribution and subcellular localization with palladin. ArgBP2 is directly linked to intracellular signaling cascades by its interaction with Abl family kinases, Pyk2 and the ubiquitin ligase Cbl. It has several actin associated binding partners and has been shown to regulate cytoskeletal dynamics. Here, we show by in vivo and in vitro methods that palladin's amino-terminal poly-proline sequences directly interact with the first carboxy-terminal SH3 domain of ArgBP2. We further demonstrate a direct interaction between alpha-actinin and the amino-terminal segment of ArgBP2. Immunoprecipitation and targeting assays suggest that a three-way complex of the proteins occurs in vivo. The interactions provide an explanation to the previously observed Z-disc-specific localization of ArgBP2 and indicate interplay between signaling adaptors and structural proteins of the Z-disc.  相似文献

Integrin complexes are necessary for proper proliferation and differentiation of epidermal keratinocytes. Differentiation of these cells is accompanied by down-regulation of integrins and focal adhesions as well as formation of intercellular adherens junctions through E-cadherin homodimerization. A central component of integrin adhesion complexes is integrin-linked kinase (ILK), which can induce loss of E-cadherin expression and epithelial-mesenchymal transformation when ectopically expressed in intestinal and mammary epithelia. In cultured primary mouse keratinocytes, we find that ILK protein levels are independent of integrin expression and signaling, since they remain constant during Ca(2+)-induced differentiation. In contrast, keratinocyte differentiation is accompanied by marked reduction in kinase activity in ILK immunoprecipitates and altered ILK subcellular distribution. Specifically, ILK distributes in close apposition to actin fibers along intercellular junctions in differentiated but not in undifferentiated keratinocytes. ILK localization to cell-cell borders occurs independently of integrin signaling and requires Ca(2+) as well as an intact actin cytoskeleton. Further, and in contrast to what is observed in other epithelial cells, ILK overexpression in differentiated keratinocytes does not promote E-cadherin down-regulation and epithelial-mesenchymal transition. Thus, novel tissue-specific mechanisms control the formation of ILK complexes associated with cell-cell junctions in differentiating murine epidermal keratinocytes.  相似文献

T cells deficient in the Tec kinases Itk or Itk and Rlk exhibit defective TCR-stimulated proliferation, IL-2 production, and activation of phospholipase C-gamma. Evidence also implicates Tec kinases in actin cytoskeleton regulation, which is necessary for cell adhesion and formation of the immune synapse in T lymphocytes. In this study we show that Tec kinases are required for TCR-mediated up-regulation of adhesion via the LFA-1 integrin. We also demonstrate that the defect in adhesion is associated with defective clustering of LFA-1 and talin at the site of interaction of Rlk-/-Itk-/- and Itk-/- T cells with anti-TCR-coated beads. Defective recruitment of Vav1, protein kinase Ctheta, and Pyk2 was also observed in Rlk-/-Itk-/- and Itk-/- T cells. Stimulation with ICAM-2 in conjunction with anti-TCR-coated beads enhanced polarization of Vav1, protein kinase Ctheta, and Pyk2 in wild-type cells, demonstrating a role for integrins in potentiating the recruitment of signaling molecules in T cells. Increased recruitment of signaling molecules was most pronounced under conditions of low TCR stimulation. Under these suboptimal TCR stimulation conditions, ICAM-2 could also enhance the recruitment of signaling molecules in Itk-/-, but not Rlk-/-Itk-/- T cells. Thus, Tec kinases play key roles in regulating TCR-mediated polarization of integrins and signaling molecules to the site of TCR stimulation as well as the up-regulation of integrin adhesion.  相似文献

Pyk2 is a member of the focal adhesion kinase (FAK) family, highly expressed in the central nervous system and haemopoietic cells. Although Pyk2 is homologous to FAK, its role in signaling pathways was shown to be distinct from that of FAK. We show here that Pyk2 is highly expressed in peritoneal IC-21 macrophage and is tyrosine phosphorylated in response to cell attachment to fibronectin and fibrinogen. Upon IC-21 cell adhesion, Pyk2 tyrosine phosphorylation is inhibited by blocking antibodies to the integrin subunits alpha(M) and beta(2). Furthermore, Pyk2 is rapidly tyrosine phosphorylated in response to ligation of beta(2) integrins by antibodies. In migrating macrophages, Pyk2 localizes to perinuclear regions and to podosomes, where it is clustered with tyrosine phosphorylated proteins. Furthermore, in the podosomal ring structure, which surrounds the central actin core, Pyk2 co-localizes with vinculin, talin, and paxillin. In the podosomes, Pyk2 also co-localizes with the integrin alpha(M)beta(2). Lastly, reduction of Pyk2 expression in macrophages leads to inhibition of cell migration. We propose that Pyk2 is functionally linked to the formation of podosomes where it mediates the integrin-cytoskeleton interface and regulates cell spreading and migration.  相似文献

The regulation of integrin-mediated adhesion is of vital importance to adaptive and innate immunity. Integrins are versatile proteins and mediate T cell migration and trafficking by binding to extracellular matrix or other cells as well as initiating intracellular signaling cascades promoting survival or activation. The MAPK pathway is known to be downstream from integrins and to regulate survival, differentiation, and motility. However, secondary roles for canonical MAPK pathway members are being discovered. We show that chemical inhibition of RAF by sorafenib or shRNA-mediated knockdown of B-Raf reduces T cell resistance to shear stress to α4β1 integrin ligands vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1) and fibronectin, whereas inhibition of MEK/ERK by U0126 had no effect. Microscopy showed that RAF inhibition leads to significant inhibition of T cell spreading on VCAM-1. The association of α4β1 integrin with the actin cytoskeleton was shown to be dependent on B-Raf activity or expression, whereas α4β1 integrin affinity for soluble VCAM-1 was not. These effects were shown to be specific for α4β1 integrin and not other integrins, such as α5β1 or LFA-1, or a variety of membrane proteins. We demonstrate a novel role for B-Raf in the selective regulation of α4β1 integrin-mediated adhesion.  相似文献

IGF-I stimulates cell growth through interaction of the IGF receptor with multiprotein signaling complexes. However, the mechanisms of IGF-I receptor-mediated signaling are not completely understood. We have previously shown that IGF-I-stimulated 3T3-L1 cell proliferation is dependent on Src activation of the ERK-1/2 MAPK pathway. We hypothesized that IGF-I activation of the MAPK pathway is mediated through integrin activation of Src-containing signaling complexes. The disintegrin echistatin decreased IGF-I phosphorylation of Src and MAPK, and blocking antibodies to (alpha)v and beta3 integrin subunits inhibited IGF-I activation of MAPK, suggesting that (alpha)v(beta)3 integrins mediate IGF-I mitogenic signaling. IGF-I increased ligand binding to (alpha)v(beta)3 as detected by immunofluorescent staining of ligand-induced binding site antibody and stimulated phosphorylation of the beta3 subunit, consistent with inside-out activation of (alpha)v(beta)3 integrins. IGF-I increased tyrosine phosphorylation of the focal adhesion kinase (FAK) Pyk2 (calcium-dependent proline-rich tyrosine kinase-2) to a much greater extent than FAK, and increased association of Src with Pyk2 but not FAK. The intracellular calcium chelator BAPTA prevented IGF-I phosphorylation of Pyk2, Src, and MAPK, suggesting that IGF-I activation of Pyk2 is calcium dependent. Transient transfection with a dominant-negative Pyk2, which lacks the autophosphorylation and Src binding site, decreased IGF-I activation of MAPK, but no inhibition was seen with transfected wild-type Pyk2. These results indicate that IGF-I signaling to MAPK is dependent on inside-out activation of (alpha)v(beta)3 integrins and integrin-facilitated multiprotein complex formation involving Pyk2 activation and association with Src.  相似文献

Proline-rich tyrosine kinase 2 (Pyk2) is activated by various agonists in platelets. We evaluated the signaling mechanism and the functional role of Pyk2 in platelets by using pharmacological inhibitors and Pyk2-deficient platelets. We found that platelet aggregation and secretion in response to 2-methylthio-ADP (2-MeSADP) and AYPGKF were diminished in the presence of Pyk2 inhibitors or in Pyk2-deficient platelets, suggesting that Pyk2 plays a positive regulatory role in platelet functional responses. It has been shown that ADP-, but not thrombin-induced thromboxane (TxA2) generation depends on integrin signaling. Unlike ADP, thrombin activates G12/13 pathways, and G12/13 pathways can substitute for integrin signaling for TxA2 generation. We found that Pyk2 was activated downstream of both G12/13 and integrin-mediated pathways, and both 2-MeSADP- and AYPGKF-induced TxA2 generation was significantly diminished in Pyk2-deficient platelets. In addition, TxA2 generation induced by co-stimulation of Gi and Gz pathways, which is dependent on integrin signaling, was inhibited by blocking Pyk2. Furthermore, inhibition of 2-MeSADP-induced TxA2 generation by fibrinogen receptor antagonist was not rescued by co-stimulation of G12/13 pathways in the presence of Pyk2 inhibitor. We conclude that Pyk2 is a common signaling effector downstream of both G12/13 and integrin αIIbβ3 signaling, which contributes to thromboxane generation.  相似文献

Integrin-mediated cell adhesion transduces signals to regulate actin cytoskeleton and cell proliferation. While understanding how integrin signals cross-talk with the TGF-beta1 pathways, we observed lamellipodia formation and cyclin regulation in Hep3B cells, following TGF-beta1 treatment. To answer if integrin signaling via actin organization might regulate cell cycle progression after TGF-beta1 treatment, we analyzed cross-talk between the two receptor-mediated pathways in hepatoma cells on specific ECMs. We found that basal and TGF-beta1-mediated activation of c-Src and Rac1, expression of cyclins E and A, and suppression of p27Kip1 were significant in cells replated on fibronectin, but not in cells on collagen I, indicating a different integrin-mediated cellular response to TGF-beta1 treatment. Levels of tyrosine phosphorylation and actin-enriched lamellipodia on fibronectin were also more prominent than in cells on collagen I. Studies using pharmacological inhibitors or transient transfections revealed that the preferential TGF-beta1 effects in cells on fibronectin required c-Src family kinase activity. These observations suggest that a specific cross-talk between TGF-beta1 and fibronectin-binding integrin signal pathways leads to the activation of c-Src/Rac1/actin-organization, leading to changes in cell cycle regulator levels in hepatoma cells. Therefore, this study represents another mechanism to regulate cell cycle regulators when integrin signaling is collaborative with TGF-beta1 pathways.  相似文献

Apoptosis can occur throughout the life span of osteoblasts (OBs), beginning from the early stages of differentiation and continuing throughout all stages of their working life. Here, we investigated the effects of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) on normal human OBs showing for the first time that the expression of TRAIL receptors is modulated during OB differentiation. In particular, the TRAIL receptor ratio was in favor of the deaths because of the low expression of DcR2 in undifferentiated OBs, differently it was shifted toward the decoys in differentiated ones. Undifferentiated OBs treated with TRAIL showed reduced cell viability, whereas differentiated OBs displayed TRAIL resistance. The OB sensitiveness to TRAIL was due to the up-regulation of DR5 and the down-regulation of DcR2. The main death receptor involved in TRAIL-reduced OB viability was DR5 as demonstrated by the rescue of cell viability observed in the presence of anti-DR5 neutralizing antibody. Besides the ratio of TRAIL receptors, the sensitivity of undifferentiated OBs to TRAIL-cytotoxic effect was also associated with low mRNA levels of intracellular anti-apoptotic proteins, such as cFLIP, the activation of caspase-8 and -3, as well as the DNA fragmentation. This study suggests that apoptotic effect exerted by TRAIL/TRAIL-receptor system on normal human OB is strictly dependent upon cell differentiation status.  相似文献

The propensity of malignant gliomas to invade surrounding brain tissue contributes to poor clinical outcome. Integrin-mediated adhesion to extracellular matrix regulates the migration and proliferation of many cell types, but its role in glioma progression is undefined. We investigated the role of the cytoplasmic tyrosine kinases FAK and Pyk2, potential integrin effectors, in the phenotypic determination of four different human glioblastoma cell lines. While FAK expression was similar between the four cell lines, increased FAK activity correlated with high proliferation and low migratory rates. In contrast, Pyk2 activity was significantly increased in migratory cell lines and depressed in proliferative cell lines. Overexpression of Pyk2 stimulated migration, whereas FAK overexpression inhibited cell migration and stimulated cellular proliferation. These data suggest that FAK and Pyk2 function as important signaling effectors in gliomas and indicate that their differential regulation may be determining factors in the temporal development of proliferative or migrational phenotypes.  相似文献

Focal adhesion regulation of cell behavior   总被引:23,自引:0,他引:23  
Focal adhesions lie at the convergence of integrin adhesion, signaling and the actin cytoskeleton. Cells modify focal adhesions in response to changes in the molecular composition, two-dimensional (2D) vs. three-dimensional (3D) structure, and physical forces present in their extracellular matrix environment. We consider here how cells use focal adhesions to regulate signaling complexes and integrin function. Furthermore, we examine how this regulation controls complex cellular behaviors in response to matrices of diverse physical and biochemical properties. One event regulated by the physical structure of the ECM is phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) at Y397, which couples FAK to several signaling pathways that regulate cell proliferation, survival, migration, and invasion.  相似文献

Mammary cancer stem cells (MaCSCs) have been identified as a rare population of cells capable of self-renewal to drive mammary tumorigenesis and metastasis. Nevertheless, relatively little is known about the intracellular signaling pathways regulating self-renewal and metastatic activities of MaCSCs in vivo. Using a recently developed breast cancer mouse model with focal adhesion kinase (FAK) deletion in mammary tumor cells (MFCKO-MT mice), here we present evidence suggesting a compensatory function of Pyk2, a FAK-related kinase, in the regulation of MaCSCs and metastasis in these mice. Increased expression of Pyk2 was found selectively in pulmonary metastatic nodules of MFCKO-MT mice, and its inhibition significantly reduced mammary tumor development and metastasis in these mice. Consistent with the idea of metastasis driven by MaCSCs, we detected selective up-regulation of Pyk2 in MaCSCs, but not bulk mammary tumor cells, of primary tumors developed in MFCKO-MT mice. We further showed that inhibition of Pyk2 in FAK-null MaCSCs significantly decreased their tumorsphere formation and migration in vitro as well as self-renewal, tumorigenicity, and metastatic activity in vivo. Last, we identified PI3K/Akt signaling as a major mediator of FAK regulation of MaCSCs as well as a target for the compensatory function of Pyk2 in FAK-null MaCSCs. Together, these results further advance our understanding of FAK and its related tyrosine kinase Pyk2 in regulation of MaCSCs in breast cancer and suggest that pharmaceutically targeting these kinases may hold promise as a novel treatment for the disease by targeting and eradicating MaCSCs.  相似文献

The signaling events downstream of integrins that regulate cell attachment and motility are only partially understood. Using osteoclasts and transfected 293 cells, we find that a molecular complex comprising Src, Pyk2, and Cbl functions to regulate cell adhesion and motility. The activation of integrin alpha(v)beta(3) induces the [Ca(2+)](i)-dependent phosphorylation of Pyk2 Y402, its association with Src SH2, Src activation, and the Src SH3-dependent recruitment and phosphorylation of c-Cbl. Furthermore, the PTB domain of Cbl is shown to bind to phosphorylated Tyr-416 in the activation loop of Src, the autophosphorylation site of Src, inhibiting Src kinase activity and integrin-mediated adhesion. Finally, we show that deletion of c Src or c-Cbl leads to a decrease in osteoclast migration. Thus, binding of alpha(v)beta(3) integrin induces the formation of a Pyk2/Src/Cbl complex in which Cbl is a key regulator of Src kinase activity and of cell adhesion and migration. These findings may explain the osteopetrotic phenotype in the Src(-/-) mice.  相似文献

RAFTK/Pyk2-mediated cellular signalling   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Intracellular signal transduction following extracellular ligation by a wide variety of surface molecules involves the activation and tyrosine phosphorylation of protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs). Tyrosine phosphorylation, controlled by the coordinated actions of protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) and tyrosine kinases, is a critical regulatory mechanism for various physiological processes, including cell growth, differentiation, metabolism, cell cycle regulation and cytoskeleton function. The focal adhesion PTK family consists of the focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and the RAFTK/Pyk2 kinase (also known as CAK-beta and CADTK). RAFTK/Pyk2 can be activated by a variety of extracellular signals that elevate intracellular calcium concentration, and by stress signals. RAFTK/Pyk2 is expressed mainly in the central nervous system and in cells derived from hematopoietic lineages, while FAK is widely expressed in various tissues and links transmembrane integrin receptors to intracellular pathways. This review describes the role of RAFTK/Pyk2 in various signalling cascades and details the differential signalling by FAK and RAFTK/Pyk2.  相似文献

Activating mutations within fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3), a receptor tyrosine kinase, are responsible for human skeletal dysplasias including achondroplasia and the neonatal lethal syndromes thanatophoric dysplasia types I and II. Several of these same FGFR3 mutations have also been identified somatically in human cancers, including multiple myeloma, bladder carcinoma, and cervical cancer. The molecular pathways exploited by FGFR3 to stimulate abnormal proliferation during neoplasia are unclear. The nonreceptor protein-tyrosine kinase Pyk2 (proline-rich tyrosine kinase 2) has been shown previously to regulate apoptosis in multiple myeloma cells. Here we describe a novel interaction between FGFR3 and Pyk2, mediated by the juxtamembrane domain of FGFR3 and the kinase domain of Pyk2. Within the FGFR family, Pyk2 also interacted significantly with FGFR2. Overexpression of Pyk2 alone led to its spontaneous activation and tyrosine phosphorylation, resulting in activation of Stat5B, indicated by the reporter GFP-Stat5B. These effects were completely dependent upon Tyr(402), the autophosphorylation site of Pyk2, which allows recruitment of Src family members for further activating phosphorylations at other sites on Pyk2. In the presence of activated FGFR3, the activation of Pyk2 itself became independent of Tyr(402), indicating that FGFR3 activation circumvents the requirement for c-Src recruitment at Tyr(402) of Pyk2. We also examined the role of the tyrosine phosphatase Shp2 in antagonizing Pyk2 activation. Taken together, these results suggest that signaling pathways regulated by FGFR3 may converge with Pyk2-dependent pathways to provide maximal activation of Stat5B.  相似文献

In bone, angiogenesis must be initiated appropriately, but limited once remodelling or repair is complete. Our recent findings have supported a role for prostaglandins (PG), known modulators of osteoblast (OB) and endothelial cell (EC) behaviour, in facilitating VEGF-mediated paracrine communication from OBs to ‘remotely located’ ECs, but the mechanism(s) regulating OB:EC crosstalk when these cells are closely opposed are undefined. In this study we have examined: (i) the effects of exogenous PGE2 on VEGF-driven events in ECs, and (ii) the role of endogenous COX-2-derived prostanoids in mediating communication between intimately opposed OBs and ECs in direct contact. Exposure of ECs to PGE2 increased ERK1/2 phosphorylation, COX-2 induction, 6-keto-PGF release and EC proliferation. In contrast, PGE2 attenuated VEGF165-induced VEGFR2/Flk1 phosphorylation, ERK1/2 activation and proliferation of ECs, suggesting that exogenous PGE2 restricts the actions of VEGF. However, the COX-2-selective inhibitor, NS398, also attenuated VEGF-induced proliferation, implying a distinct role for endogenous COX-2 activity in regulating EC behaviour. To examine the effect of OB:EC proximity and the role of COX-2 products further, we used a confrontational co-culture model. These studies showed that COX-2 blockade with NS398 enhanced EC-dependent increases in OB differentiation, that this effect was reversed by exogenous PGH2 (immediate COX-2 product), and that exogenous VEGF did not influence EC-dependent OB differentiation under these conditions. Our findings indicate that locally produced prostanoids may serve distinct roles depending on OB:EC proximity and negatively modulate VEGF-mediated changes in EC behaviour when these cells are closely opposed to control angiogenesis during bone (re)modelling.  相似文献

Bone loss is caused by the dysregulated activity of osteoclasts which degrade the extracellular bone matrix. The tyrosine kinase Pyk2 is highly expressed in osteoclasts, and mice lacking Pyk2 exhibit an increase in bone mass, in part due to impairment of osteoclast function. Pyk2 is activated by phosphorylation at Y402 following integrin activation, but the mechanisms leading to Pyk2 dephosphorylation are poorly understood. In the current study, we examined the mechanism of action of the dynamin GTPase on Pyk2 dephosphorylation. Our studies reveal a novel mechanism for the interaction of Pyk2 with dynamin, which involves the binding of Pyk2's FERM domain with dynamin's plextrin homology domain. In addition, we demonstrate that the dephosphorylation of Pyk2 requires dynamin's GTPase activity and is mediated by the tyrosine phosphatase PTP-PEST. The dephosphorylation of Pyk2 by dynamin and PTP-PEST may be critical for terminating outside-in integrin signaling, and for stabilizing cytoskeletal reorganization during osteoclast bone resorption.  相似文献
