Agents which increase the intracellular cyclic GMP (cGMP) concentration and cGMP analogs inhibit cell growth in several different cell types, but it is not known which of the intracellular target proteins of cGMP is (are) responsible for the growth-suppressive effects of cGMP. Using baby hamster kidney (BHK) cells, which are deficient in cGMP-dependent protein kinase (G-kinase), we show that 8-(4-chlorophenylthio)guanosine-3′,5′-cyclic monophosphate and 8-bromoguanosine-3′,5′-cyclic monophosphate inhibit cell growth in cells stably transfected with a G-kinase Iβ expression vector but not in untransfected cells or in cells transfected with a catalytically inactive G-kinase. We found that the cGMP analogs inhibited epidermal growth factor (EGF)-induced activation of mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase and nuclear translocation of MAP kinase in G-kinase-expressing cells but not in G-kinase-deficient cells. Ras activation by EGF was not impaired in G-kinase-expressing cells treated with cGMP analogs. We show that activation of G-kinase inhibited c-Raf kinase activation and that G-kinase phosphorylated c-Raf kinase on Ser43, both in vitro and in vivo; phosphorylation of c-Raf kinase on Ser43 uncouples the Ras-Raf kinase interaction. A mutant c-Raf kinase with an Ala substitution for Ser43 was insensitive to inhibition by cGMP and G-kinase, and expression of this mutant kinase protected cells from inhibition of EGF-induced MAP kinase activity by cGMP and G-kinase, suggesting that Ser43 in c-Raf is the major target for regulation by G-kinase. Similarly, B-Raf kinase was not inhibited by G-kinase; the Ser43 phosphorylation site of c-Raf is not conserved in B-Raf. Activation of G-kinase induced MAP kinase phosphatase 1 expression, but this occurred later than the inhibition of MAP kinase activation. Thus, in BHK cells, inhibition of cell growth by cGMP analogs is strictly dependent on G-kinase and G-kinase activation inhibits the Ras/MAP kinase pathway (i) by phosphorylating c-Raf kinase on Ser43 and thereby inhibiting its activation and (ii) by inducing MAP kinase phosphatase 1 expression. 相似文献

Signalling by the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor (EGFR) has been studied intensively, but for most cell types the analysis is complicated by the fact that EGFR not only homodimerizes but can also form heterodimers with other EGFR family members. Heterodimerization is a particular problem in the study of EGFR mutants, where the true phenotype of the mutants is confounded by the contribution of the heterodimer partner to signal transduction. We have made use of the murine hemopoietic cell line BaF/3, which does not express EGFR family members, to express wild-type (WT) EGFR, three kinase-defective EGFR mutants (V741G, Y740F, and K721R), or a C-terminally truncated EGFR (CT957) and have measured their responses to EGF. We found that under the appropriate conditions EGF can stimulate cell proliferation of BaF/3 cells expressing WT or CT957 EGFRs but not that of cells expressing the kinase-defective mutants. However, EGF promotes the survival of BaF/3 cells expressing either of the kinase-defective receptors (V741G and Y740F), indicating that these receptors can still transmit a survival signal. Analysis of the early signalling events by the WT, V741G, and Y740F mutant EGF receptors indicated that EGF stimulates comparable levels of Shc phosphorylation, Shc–GRB-2 association, and activation of Ras, B-Raf, and Erk-1. Blocking the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signalling pathway with the specific inhibitor PD98059 abrogates completely the EGF-dependent survival of cells expressing the kinase-defective EGFR mutants but has no effect on the EGF-dependent proliferation mediated by WT and CT957 EGFRs. Similarly, the Src family kinase inhibitor PP1 abrogates EGF-dependent survival without affecting proliferation. However blocking phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase or JAK-2 kinase with specific inhibitors does arrest growth factor-dependent cell proliferation. Thus, EGFR-mediated mitogenic signalling in BaF/3 cells requires an intact EGFR tyrosine kinase activity and appears to depend on the activation of both the JAK-2 and PI-3 kinase pathways. Activation of the Src family of kinases or of the Ras/MAPK pathway can, however, be initiated by a kinase-impaired EGFR and is linked to survival. 相似文献

The inner membrane-bound protein Ras integrates various extracellular signals that are subsequently communicated from the cytoplasm to the nucleus via the Raf/MEK/MAPK cascade. Here we show that the retinoblastoma protein pRb, previously reported to be a nuclear target of this pathway, can in turn influence the activation state of Ras. Rb-deficient fibroblasts display elevated levels (up to 30-fold) of activated Ras during G(1). Expression of wild-type pRb or a number of pRb mutants defective in E2F regulation reverses this effect. We provide evidence that the mid-G(1) activation of Ras in Rb-deficient cells, which occurs at the level of guanine nucleotide binding, differs from that of epidermal growth factor-induced stimulation of Ras, being dependent on protein synthesis. The aberrant levels of Ras activity associated with loss of pRb may be responsible for the differentiation defects in Rb-deficient cells, because suppression of Ras activity in Rb(-/-) fibroblasts restores the transactivation function of MyoD and the expression of a late marker of skeletal muscle differentiation. These data suggest that nuclear-cytoplasmic communication between pRb and Ras is bidirectional. 相似文献

Nrf2 plays a critical role in the regulation of cellular oxidative stress. MEK-ERK activation has been shown to be one of the major pathways resulting in the activation of Nrf2 and induction of Nrf2 downstream targets, including phase II detoxifying/antioxidant genes in response to oxidative stress and xenobiotics. In this study, IQGAP1 (IQ motif-containing GTPase-activating protein 1), a new Nrf2 interaction partner that we have published previously, was found to modulate MEK-ERK-mediated Nrf2 activation and induction of phase II detoxifying/antioxidant genes. Nrf2 binds directly to the IQ domain (amino acids 699–905) of IQGAP1. Knockdown of IQGAP1 significantly attenuated phenethyl isothiocyanate- or MEK-mediated activation of the MEK-ERK-Nrf2 pathway. Knockdown of IQGAP1 also attenuated MEK-mediated increased stability of Nrf2, which in turn was associated with a decrease in the nuclear translocation of Nrf2 and a decrease in the expression of phase II detoxifying/antioxidant genes. In the aggregate, these results suggest that IQGAP1 may play an important role in the MEK-ERK-Nrf2 signaling pathway. 相似文献

Oncogenic Ras Blocks Anoikis by Activation of a Novel Effector Pathway Independent of Phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5 下载免费PDF全文

Activated Ras, but not Raf, causes transformation of RIE-1 rat intestinal epithelial cells, demonstrating the importance of Raf-independent effector signaling in mediating Ras transformation. To further assess the contribution of Raf-dependent and Raf-independent function in oncogenic Ras transformation, we evaluated the mechanism by which oncogenic Ras blocks suspension-induced apoptosis, or anoikis, of RIE-1 cells. We determined that oncogenic versions of H-, K-, and N-Ras, as well as the Ras-related proteins TC21 and R-Ras, protected RIE-1 cells from anoikis. Surprisingly, our analyses of Ras effector domain mutants or constitutively activated effectors indicated that activation of Raf-1, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), or RalGDS alone is not sufficient to promote Ras inhibition of anoikis. Treatment of Ras-transformed cells with the U0126 MEK inhibitor caused partial reversion to an anoikis-sensitive state, indicating that extracellular signal-regulated kinase activation contributes to inhibition of anoikis. Unexpectedly, oncogenic Ras failed to activate Akt, and treatment of Ras-transformed RIE-1 cells with the LY294002 PI3K inhibitor did not affect anoikis resistance or growth in soft agar. Thus, while important for Ras transformation of fibroblasts, PI3K may not be involved in Ras transformation of RIE-1 cells. Finally, inhibition of epidermal growth factor receptor kinase activity did not overcome Ras inhibition of anoikis, indicating that this autocrine loop essential for transformation is not involved in anoikis protection. We conclude that a PI3K- and RalGEF-independent Ras effector(s) likely cooperates with Raf to confer anoikis resistance upon RIE-1 cells, thus underscoring the complex nature by which Ras transforms cells. 相似文献

Activation of Ras/Erk pathway by a novel MET-interacting protein RanBPM 总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13
MET is a receptor protein-tyrosine kinase (RPTK) for hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), which is a multifunctional cytokine controlling cell growth, morphogenesis, and motility. MET overexpression has been identified in a variety of human cancers. Oncogenic missense mutations of the tyrosine kinase domain of the MET gene have been identified in human papillary renal cell carcinomas. In this study, RanBPM, also known as RanBP9, is identified as a novel interacting protein of MET through yeast two-hybrid screen. RanBPM contains a conserved SPRY (repeats in splA and RyR) domain. We demonstrate that RanBPM can interact with MET in vitro and in vivo, and the interaction can be strengthened by HGF stimulation. RanBPM interacts with the tyrosine kinase domain of MET through its SPRY domain. We show that RanBPM can induce GTP-Ras association and Erk phosphorylation and elevate serum response element-luciferase (SRE-LUC) expression, indicating that RanBPM can activate the Ras-Erk-SRE pathway. We demonstrate that RanBPM, which itself is not a guanine exchange protein, stimulates Ras activation by recruiting Sos. On the cellular level, A704 cells, a human renal carcinoma cell line, transfected with RanBPM exhibit increased migration ability. Our data suggest that RanBPM, functioning as an adaptor protein for the MET tyrosine kinase domain, can augment the HGF-MET signaling pathway and that RanBPM overexpression may cause constitutive activation of the Ras signaling pathway. 相似文献

We and others have recently shown that soyasaponins abundant in soybeans can decrease inflammation by suppressing the nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kB)-mediated inflammation. However, the exact molecular mechanisms by which soyasaponins inhibit the NF-kB pathway have not been established. In this study in macrophages, soyasaponins (A1, A2 and I) inhibited the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced release of inflammatory marker prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) to a similar extent as the NF-kB inhibitor (BAY117082). Soyasaponins (A1, A2 and I) also suppressed the LPS-induced expression of cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2), another inflammatory marker, in a dose-dependent manner by inhibiting NF-kB activation. In defining the associated mechanisms, we found that soyasaponins (A1, A2 and I) blunted the LPS-induced IKKα/β phosphorylation, IkB phosphorylation and degradation, and NF-kB p65 phosphorylation and nuclear translocation. In studying the upstream targets of soyasaponins on the NF-kB pathway, we found that soyasaponins (A1, A2 and I) suppressed the LPS-induced activation of PI3K/Akt similarly as the PI3K inhibitor , which alone blocked the LPS-induced activation of NF-kB. Additionally, soyasaponins (A1, A2 and I) reduced the LPS-induced production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) to the same extent as the anti-oxidant N-acetyl-L-cysteine, which alone inhibited the LPS-induced phosphorylation of Akt, IKKα/β, IkBα, and p65, transactivity of NF-kB, PGE2 production, and malondialdehyde production. Finally, our results show that soyasaponins (A1, A2 and I) elevated SOD activity and the GSH/GSSG ratio. Together, these results show that soyasaponins (A1, A2 and I) can blunt inflammation by inhibiting the ROS-mediated activation of the PI3K/Akt/NF-kB pathway. LY294002相似文献

Neuronal activity promotes the survival of cerebellar granule neurons (CGNs) during the postnatal development of cerebellum. CGNs that fail to receive excitatory inputs will die by apoptosis. This process could be mimicked in culture by exposing CGNs to either a physiological concentration of KCl (5 mm or K5) plus N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) or to 25 mm KCl (K25). We have previously described that a 24-h exposure to NMDA (100 μm) or K25 at 2 days in vitro induced long term survival of CGNs in K5 conditions. Here we have studied the molecular mechanisms activated at 2 days in vitro in these conditions. First we showed that NMDA or K25 addition promoted a rapid stimulation of PI3K and a biphasic phosphorylation on Ser-473 of Akt, a PI3K substrate. Interestingly, we demonstrated that only the first wave of Akt phosphorylation is necessary for the NMDA- and K25-mediated survival. Additionally, we detected that both NMDA and K25 increased ERK activity with a similar time-course. Moreover, our results showed that NMDA-mediated activation of the small G-protein Ras is necessary for PI3K/Akt pathway activation, whereas Rap1 was involved in NMDA phosphorylation of ERK. On the other hand, Ras, but not Rap1, mediates K25 activation of PI3K/Akt and MEK/ERK pathways. Because neuroprotection by NMDA or K25 is mediated by Ras (and not by Rap1) activation, we propose that Ras stimulation is a crucial event in NMDA- and K25-mediated survival of CGNs through the activation of PI3K/Akt and MEK/ERK pathways. 相似文献

−/− murine gastric epithelial (GIF-14) cells, EMT-induced plasticity is reflected in the expression of the embryonal proto-oncogene Hmga2 and Lgr5, an exclusive gastrointestinal stem cell marker. Here, we report the concurrent activation of an EGFR/Ras gene expression signature during TGF-β1-induced EMT in GIF-14 cells. Amongst the altered genes was the induction of Egfr, which corresponded with a delayed sensitization to EGF treatment in GIF-14. Co-treatment with TGF-β1 and EGF or the expression of exogenous KRas led to increased Hmga2 or Lgr5 expression, sphere initiation and colony formation in soft agar assay. Interestingly, the gain in cellular plasticity/tumorigenicity was not accompanied by increased EMT. This uncoupling of EMT and the induction of plasticity reveals an involvement of distinct signaling cues, whereby the EGFR/Ras pathway specifically promotes stemness and tumorigenicity in EMT-altered GIF-14 cells. These data show that the EGFR/Ras pathway requisite for the sustenance of gastric stem cells in vivo and in vitro is involved in the genesis and promotion of EMT-induced tumor-initiating cells. 相似文献

Oxygen radicals attack guanine bases in DNA but they also attack cytoplasmic GTP forming 8-oxoGTP. The presence of 8-oxoGTP in cytoplasm is evidenced by the fact that cells contain MutT/MTH1 which hydrolyze 8-oxoGTP into 8-oxoGMP. In this study, the interaction between 8-oxoGTP and Ras, a small GTP-binding protein, was tested in vitro, and the action of 8-oxoGTP was compared to that of GTP. When purified Ras was treated with 8-oxoGTPgammaS, Ras was activated, as indicated by the enhanced binding of Ras with Raf-1. GTPgammaS also activated Ras but 8-oxoGTPgammaS had a much more potent effect. In lysates of human embryo kidney 293 cells, 8-oxoGTPgammaS activated not only Ras but also the downstream effectors of the Ras-ERK pathway, i.e., Raf-1 and ERK1/2. In contrast to Ras, other small GTP-binding proteins, Rac1 and Cdc42, were inactivated by 8-oxoGTPgammaS, whereas both of these proteins were activated by GTPgammaS, indicating that the biological natures of 8-oxoGTP and GTP differ. These results suggest the possibility that 8-oxoGTP is not a simple by-product but a functional molecule transmitting an oxidative signal to small GTP-binding proteins like Ras. 相似文献

Role of Phosphoinositide 3-Kinase in Activation of Ras and Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase by Epidermal Growth Factor 总被引:19,自引:0,他引:19 下载免费PDF全文
The paradigm for activation of Ras and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)/mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase by extracellular stimuli via tyrosine kinases, Shc, Grb2, and Sos does not encompass an obvious role for phosphoinositide (PI) 3-kinase, and yet inhibitors of this lipid kinase family have been shown to block the ERK/MAP kinase signalling pathway under certain circumstances. Here we show that in COS cells activation of both endogenous ERK2 and Ras by low, but not high, concentrations of epidermal growth factor (EGF) is suppressed by PI 3-kinase inhibitors; since Ras activation is less susceptible than ERK2 activation, PI 3-kinase-sensitive events may occur both upstream of Ras and between Ras and ERK2. However, strong elevation of PI 3-kinase lipid product levels by expression of membrane-targeted p110alpha is by itself never sufficient to activate Ras or ERK2. PI 3-kinase inhibition does not affect EGF-induced receptor autophosphorylation or adapter protein phosphorylation or complex formation. The concentrations of EGF for which PI 3-kinase inhibitors block Ras activation induce formation of Shc-Grb2 complexes but not detectable EGF receptor phosphorylation and do not activate PI 3-kinase. The activation of Ras by low, but mitogenic, concentrations of EGF is therefore dependent on basal, rather than stimulated, PI 3-kinase activity; the inhibitory effects of LY294002 and wortmannin are due to their ability to reduce the activity of PI 3-kinase to below the level in a quiescent cell and reflect a permissive rather than an upstream regulatory role for PI 3-kinase in Ras activation in this system. 相似文献

The proapoptotic Bcl-2 protein Bax by itself is sufficient to initiate apoptosis in almost all apoptotic paradigms. Thus, compounds that can facilitate disruptive Bax insertion into mitochondrial membranes have potential as cancer therapeutics. In our study, we have identified small-molecule compounds predicted to associate with the Bax hydrophobic groove by a virtual-screen approach. Among these, one lead compound (compound 106) promotes Bax-dependent but not Bak-dependent apoptosis. Importantly, this compound alters Bax protein stability in vitro and promotes the insertion of Bax into mitochondria, leading to Bax-dependent permeabilization of the mitochondrial outer membrane. Furthermore, as a single agent, compound 106 inhibits the growth of transplanted tumors, probably by inducing apoptosis in tumors. Our study has revealed a compound that activates Bax and induces Bax-dependent apoptosis, which may lead to the development of new therapeutic agents for cancer. 相似文献

M-Ras is a Ras-related protein that shares approximately 55% identity with K-Ras and TC21. The M-Ras message was widely expressed but was most predominant in ovary and brain. Similarly to Ha-Ras, expression of mutationally activated M-Ras in NIH 3T3 mouse fibroblasts or C2 myoblasts resulted in cellular transformation or inhibition of differentiation, respectively. M-Ras only weakly activated extracellular signal-regulated kinase 2 (ERK2), but it cooperated with Raf, Rac, and Rho to induce transforming foci in NIH 3T3 cells, suggesting that M-Ras signaled via alternate pathways to these effectors. Although the mitogen-activated protein kinase/ERK kinase inhibitor, PD98059, blocked M-Ras-induced transformation, M-Ras was more effective than an activated mitogen-activated protein kinase/ERK kinase mutant at inducing focus formation. These data indicate that multiple pathways must contribute to M-Ras-induced transformation. M-Ras interacted poorly in a yeast two-hybrid assay with multiple Ras effectors, including c-Raf-1, A-Raf, B-Raf, phosphoinositol-3 kinase delta, RalGDS, and Rin1. Although M-Ras coimmunoprecipitated with AF6, a putative regulator of cell junction formation, overexpression of AF6 did not contribute to fibroblast transformation, suggesting the possibility of novel effector proteins. The M-Ras GTP/GDP cycle was sensitive to the Ras GEFs, Sos1, and GRF1 and to p120 Ras GAP. Together, these findings suggest that while M-Ras is regulated by similar upstream stimuli to Ha-Ras, novel targets may be responsible for its effects on cellular transformation and differentiation. 相似文献

细胞外基质弹性对细胞的迁移、周期、增殖、分化等功能均具有重要影响,尤其是对干细胞的分化命运具有重要调控作用.迄今为止,人们对这一现象背后的机理还远未认识清楚.整合素(integrin)作为细胞黏附分子,被认为是位于多种力学信号转导通路起点的力学传感器.本实验室在之前的工作中观察到细胞外基质弹性显著改变了β1 integrin的活化状态、亚细胞定位等.然而,细胞外基质弹性对β1 integrin活化水平的调节机制还不清楚.本文利用特异性识别β1 integrin活性构象的单克隆抗体观察到:a.与硬基底相比,较软的细胞外基质能够诱导骨髓间充质干细胞中活化的β1 integrin水平升高;b.较硬的细胞外基质能明显上调FAK-Raf-MEK-ERK通路的活性;c.抑制FAK-Raf信号通路能挽救较硬细胞外基质上较低的β1integrin活化水平.这些结果提示,较硬的细胞外基质可能通过激活FAK-Raf信号通路负反馈调控integrin的活性.综上所述,本文发现了一种细胞外基质弹性对integrin活化水平及其下游信号的调控方式,为理解细胞对基质弹性的感知机理提供了一个新的线索. 相似文献
