Pig-human xenotransplantation can trigger cell-mediated immune responses. We explored the role of gangliosides in inflammation related to immune rejection in xenotransplantation. Co-culture of xenogeneic cells (pig-MSCs and RAW264.7) was used to emulate xenotransplantation conditions. MTT assay results indicated that cell viability was significantly decreased in pADMSCs co-cultured with RAW264.7 cells. GM1 and GM3 were highly expressed in pADMSCs co-cultured with RAW264.7 cells. pADMSCs co-cultured with RAW264.7 cells strongly expressed pro-inflammatory proteins such as COX-2, iNOS, p50, p65, pIκBα, and TNF-α. GM1-knockdown pADMSCs co-cultured with RAW 264.7 cells did not show significantly altered cell viability, but pro-inflammatory proteins were markedly inhibited. Co-culture of pADMSCs with RAW264.7 cells induced significant phosphorylation (p) of JNK1/2 and pERK1/2. However, pERK1/2 and pJNK1/2 were decreased and MEK1/2 and Raf1 were suppressed in GM1-knockdown pADMSCs co-cultured with RAW264.7 cells. Thus, the Raf-1/MEK1/2/ERK1/2 and JNK1/2 pathways were significantly upregulated in response to increases of GM1 in co-cultured xenogeneic cells. However, the inflammatory response was suppressed in co-culture of GM1-knockdown pADMSCs with RAW264.7 cells via down-regulation of the Raf-1/MEK1/2/ERK1/2 and JNK1/2 pathways. Therefore, the ganglioside GM1 appears to play a major role in the inflammatory response in xenotransplantation via the Raf-1/MEK1/2/ERK1/2 and JNK1/2 pathways. 相似文献

The fully executed epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)/Ras/MEK/ERK pathway serves a pro-survival role in renal epithelia under moderate oxidative stress. We and others have demonstrated that during severe oxidative stress, however, the activated EGFR is disconnected from ERK activation in cultured renal proximal tubule cells and also in renal proximal tubules after ischemia/reperfusion injury, resulting in necrotic death. Studies have shown that the tyrosine-phosphorylated p46/52 isoforms of the ShcA family of adaptor proteins connect the activated EGFR to activation of Ras and ERK, whereas the p66(shc) isoform can inhibit this p46/52(shc) function. Here, we determined that severe oxidative stress (after a brief period of activation) terminates activation of the Ras/MEK/ERK pathway, which coincides with ERK/JNK-dependent Ser(36) phosphorylation of p66(shc). Isoform-specific knockdown of p66(shc) or mutation of Ser(36) to Ala, but not to Asp, attenuated severe oxidative stress-mediated ERK inhibition and cell death in vitro. Also, severe oxidative stress (unlike ligand stimulation and moderate oxidative stress, both of which support survival) increased binding of p66(shc) to the activated EGFR and Grb2. This binding dissociated the SOS1 adaptor protein from the EGFR-recruited signaling complex, leading to termination of Ras/MEK/ERK activation. Notably, Ser(36) phosphorylation of p66(shc) and its increased binding to the EGFR also occurred in the kidney after ischemia/reperfusion injury in vivo. At the same time, SOS1 binding to the EGFR declined, similar to the in vitro findings. Thus, the mechanism we propose in vitro offers a means to ameliorate oxidative stress-induced cell injury by either inhibiting Ser(36) phosphorylation of p66(shc) or knocking down p66(shc) expression in vivo. 相似文献

The p66shc protein governs oxidant stress and mammalian lifespan. Here, we identify melanoma inhibitory activity (MIA), a protein secreted by melanoma cells, as a novel binding partner and antagonist of p66shc. The N-terminal collagen homology-2 (CH2) domain of p66shc binds to the Src Homology-3 (SH3)-like domain of MIA in vitro. In cells, ectopically expressed MIA and p66shc colocalize and co-precipitate. MIA also co-precipitates with the CH2 domain of p66shc in vivo. MIA expression in vivo suppresses p66shc-stimulated increase in endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)), and inhibits basal and H(2)O(2)-induced phosphorylation of p66shc on serine 36 and H(2)O(2)-induced death. In human melanoma cells expressing MIA, endogenous MIA and p66shc co-precipitate. Downregulation of MIA in melanoma cells increases basal and ultraviolet radiation (UVR)-induced phosphorylation of p66shc on serine 36, augments endogenous H(2)O(2) levels, and increases their susceptibility to UVR-induced death. These findings show that MIA binds to p66shc, and suggest that this interaction antagonizes phosphorylation and function of p66shc. 相似文献

The role of ERK 1/2 and p38 MAP-kinase pathways in taxol-induced apoptosis in human ovarian carcinoma cells. 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
Taxol is an anticancer agent of natural origin with significant activity against a number of human cancers including ovarian and breast carcinomas. Its cytotoxic activity has been attributed to its ability to stabilize microtubules and to promote microtubule assembly. Recently it has become clearer that Taxol has additional activities including effects in cell signaling and gene expression. We have shown previously that Taxol activates ERK 1/2 MAP-kinases and results in the formation of GRB2/SHC complexes in murine macrophage-like RAW 267.4 cells. Here we demonstrate that Taxol activates ERK 1/2 and p38 MAP-kinases in human ovarian carcinoma cells with distinct kinetics. Activation of ERK1/2 has been observed at low concentrations of Taxol (1-100 nM) within 0.5-6 h, whereas longer exposure(24 h) to nanomolar concentrations of Taxol resulted in an abrogation of the ERK1/2 phosphorylation/activation. Higher concentrations (1-10 microM) resulted in a sharp inhibition of ERK1/2 activity. p38 kinase was activated by high concentrations (1-10 microM) of Taxol within 2 h and remained active for more than 24 h. The kinetic studies showed that these effects of Taxol coincided with an inhibition of proliferation, and the onset of apoptosis. The appearance of the fragmented chromatin visualized by DAPI staining, and DNA fragments seen on an agarose gel, coincided with the decrease in ERK1/2 activation and concomitant increase of the level of active p38 MAPK. The inhibitor PD98059 abrogated ERK 1/2 activation and increased the cytotoxic effect of Taxol. An inhibitor of p38 kinase, SB203580, protected the cells partially from Taxol and, unexpectedly, activated ERK 1/2 kinases. We conclude that the alternative use of ERK1/2 and p38 MAP-kinase pathways may be necessary for the transition from proliferation state to Taxol-induced apoptosisin human ovarian carcinoma cells. 相似文献

In this study, we investigated the signaling pathway involved in cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression caused by peptidoglycan (PGN), a cell wall component of the Gram-positive bacterium Staphylococcus aureus, in RAW 264.7 macrophages. PGN caused dose- and time-dependent increases in COX-2 expression, which was attenuated by a Ras inhibitor (manumycin A), a Raf-1 inhibitor (GW 5074), and an MEK inhibitor (PD 098059). Treatment of RAW 264.7 macrophages with PGN caused time-dependent activations of Ras, Raf-1, and ERK. The PGN-induced increase in Ras activity was inhibited by manumycin A. Raf-1 phosphorylation at Ser-338 by PGN was inhibited by manumycin A and GW 5074. The PGN-induced increase in ERK activity was inhibited by manumycin A, GW 5074, and PD 098059. Stimulation of cells with PGN activated IkappaB kinase alpha/beta (IKKalpha/beta), IkappaBalpha phosphorylation, IkappaBalpha degradation, and kappaB-luciferase activity. Treatment of macrophages with an NF-kappaB inhibitor (pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate), an IkappaBalpha phosphorylation inhibitor (Bay 117082), and IkappaB protease inhibitors (l-1-tosylamido-2-phenylethyl chloromethyl ketone and calpain inhibitor I) all inhibited PGN-induced COX-2 expression. The PGN-mediated increase in the activities of IKKalpha/beta and kappaB-luciferase were also inhibited by the Ras dominant negative mutant (RasN17), manumycin A, GW 5074, and PD 098059. Further studies revealed that PGN induced the recruitment of p85alpha and Ras to Toll-like receptor 2 in a time-dependent manner. Our data demonstrate for the first time that PGN activates the Ras/Raf-1/ERK pathway, which in turn initiates IKKalpha/beta and NF-kappaB activation, and ultimately induces COX-2 expression in RAW 264.7 macrophages. 相似文献

Paxillin is a 68-kDa focal adhesion-associated protein that plays an important role in controlling cell spreading and migration. Phosphorylation of paxillin regulates its biological activity and thus has warranted investigation. Serine 126 and serine 130 were previously identified as two major extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)-dependent phosphorylation sites in Raf-transformed fibroblasts. Here serine 126 is identified as a phosphorylation site induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation of RAW264.7 cells. A number of other stimuli, including adhesion and colony-stimulating factor, induce serine 126 phosphorylation in RAW264.7 cells, and nerve growth factor (NGF) treatment induces serine 126 phosphorylation in PC12 cells. The kinase responsible for phosphorylation of this site is identified as glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK-3). Interestingly, this GSK-3-dependent phosphorylation is regulated via an ERK-dependent priming mechanism, i.e., phosphorylation of serine 130. Phosphorylation of S126/S130 was required to promote spreading in paxillin null cells, and LPS-induced spreading of RAW264.7 cells was inhibited by expression of the paxillin S126A/S130A mutant. Furthermore, this mutant also retarded NGF-induced PC12 cell neurite outgrowth. Hence, phosphorylation of paxillin on serines 126 and 130, which is mediated by an ERK/GSK-3 dual-kinase mechanism, plays an important role in cytoskeletal rearrangement. 相似文献

The rac1 GTPase and the p66shc adaptor protein regulate intracellular levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS). We examined the relationship between rac1 and p66shc. Expression of constitutively active rac1 (rac1V12) increased phosphorylation, reduced ubiquitination, and increased stability of p66shc protein. Rac1V12-induced phosphorylation and up-regulation of p66shc was suppressed by inhibiting p38MAPK and was dependent on serine 54 and threonine 386 in p66shc. Phosphorylation of recombinant p66shc by p38MAPK in vitro was also partly dependent on serine 54 and threonine 386. Reconstitution of p66shc in p66shc-null fibroblasts increased intracellular ROS generated by rac1V12, which was significantly dependent on the integrity of residues 54 and 386. Overexpression of p66shc increased rac1V12-induced apoptosis, an effect that was also partly dependent on serine 54 and threonine 386. Finally, RNA interference-mediated down-regulation of endogenous p66shc suppressed rac1V12-induced cell death. These findings identify p66shc as a mediator of rac1-induced oxidative stress. In addition, they suggest that serine 54 and threonine 386 are novel phosphorylatable residues in p66shc that govern rac1-induced increase in its expression, through a decrease in its ubiquitination and degradation, and thereby mediate rac1-stimulated cellular oxidative stress and death. 相似文献

Matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1, collagenase-1) plays a pivotal role in the process of joint destruction in degenerative joint diseases. We have examined the regulation of MMP-1 production in human chondrocytic HCS-2/8 cells stimulated by tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha). In response to TNF-alpha, MMP-1 is induced and actively released from HCS-2/8 cells. The induction of MMP-1 expression correlates with activation of ERK1/2, MEK, and Raf-1, and is potently prevented by U0126, a selective inhibitor of MEK1/2 activation. In contrast, SB203580, a selective p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) inhibitor, had no effects on TNF-alpha-induced MMP-1 release. A serine/threonine kinase, Akt was not activated in TNF-alpha-stimulated HCS-2/8 cells. TNF-alpha stimulated the production of PGE(2) in addition to MMP-1 in HCS-2/8 cells. Exogenously added PGE(2) potently inhibited TNF-alpha-induced both MMP-1 production and activation of ERK1/2. The effects of PGE(2) were mimicked by ONO-AE1-329, a selective EP4 receptor agonist but not by butaprost, a selective EP2 agonist. In contrast, blockade of endogenously produced PGE(2) signaling by ONO-AE3-208, a selective EP4 receptor antagonist, enhanced TNF-alpha-induced MMP-1 production. Furthermore, the suppression of MMP-1 production by exogenously added PGE(2) was reversed by ONO-AE3-208. Activation of EP4 receptor resulted in cAMP-mediated phosphorylation of Raf-1 on Ser259, a negative regulatory site, and blocked activation of Raf-1/MEK/ERK cascade. Taken together, these findings indicate that Raf-1/MEK/ERK signaling pathway plays a crucial role in the production of MMP-1 in HCS-2/8 cells in response to TNF-alpha, and that the produced PGE(2) downregulates the expression of MMP-1 by blockage of TNF-alpha-induced Raf-1 activation through EP4-PGE(2) receptor activation. 相似文献

Translational event mediates differential production of tumor necrosis factor-alpha in hyaluronan-stimulated microglia and macrophages 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Recent evidence has demonstrated that hyaluronan synthase 2 mRNA is up-regulated after brain ischemia. After a cerebral ischemic event, microglia and macrophages are the major inflammatory cells and are activated by hyaluronan (HA). However, it is unclear how these cells compare with regard to HA responsiveness. We show here that peritoneal macrophages and RAW 264.7 macrophages produced more than five- and 10-fold more tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) than primary microglia and BV-2 microglia, respectively. Antibody blockade study showed that CD44, Toll-like receptor-4 receptor and the receptor for HA-mediated motility were responsible for HA-induced TNF-alpha release. Furthermore, HA induced higher levels of phosphorylated MAPK in RAW 264.7 cells when compared with BV-2 cells. HA-mediated TNF-alpha production required p38 MAPK, extracellular-regulated kinase and c-Jun N-terminal kinase phosphorylation in both cell types. The levels of HA-induced TNF-alpha mRNA expression in BV-2 cells were only twofold lower compared with RAW 264.7 cells, suggesting that a translational event is involved in the differential production of TNF-alpha. Western blot analysis revealed that HA treatment resulted in more rapid phosphorylation of eukaryotic initiation factor 4E-binding protein 1 (4E-BP1) and more effective dissociation of 4E-BP1 from eukaryotic initiation factor 4E in RAW 264.7 cells than in BV-2 cells. Additionally, HA-induced phosphorylation of 4E-BP1 was dependent on MAPK signaling, indicating that RAW 264.7 cells exhibited higher levels of hyperphosphorylated 4E-BP1 possibly due to the overactivation of MAPK. The results suggest that resident microglia and blood-derived monocytes/macrophages exhibit differential sensitivities in response to extracellular mediators after brain ischemia. 相似文献

Taxol treatment of HeLa cells resulted in a transient recruitment of Caveolin-1 to the cell surface followed by internalization. Interestingly, 20min after 10-deacetylbaccatinIII (10-DAB) treatment, the caveolae displayed faster 'kiss and run' dynamics while BaccatinIII (BacIII) did not induce any change. Sustained phosphorylation of Caveolin-1 is observed upon treatment and between Taxol and 10-DAB, the former shows phosphorylated Raf-1, ERK1/2 and hyperphosphorylated Bcl-2 while the later showed much less magnitude of the same. BacIII treatment did not induce phosphorylation of Raf-1 or Bcl-2. It is possible that Taxol might act on multiple targets and the side chain may be crucial. 相似文献

Microtubule inhibitors (MTIs) such as Taxol have been used for treating various malignant tumors. Although MTIs have been known to induce cell death through mitotic arrest, other mechanisms can operate in MTI-induced cell death. Especially, the role of p53 in this process has been controversial for a long time. Here we investigated the function of p53 in Taxol-induced apoptosis using p53 wild type and p53 null cancer cell lines. p53 was upregulated upon Taxol treatment in p53 wild type cells and deletion of p53 diminished Taxol-induced apoptosis. p53 target proteins including MDM2, p21, BAX, and β-isoform of PUMA were also upregulated by Taxol in p53 wild type cells. Conversely, when the wild type p53 was re-introduced into two different p53 null cancer cell lines, Taxol-induced apoptosis was enhanced. Among post-translational modifications that affect p53 stability and function, p53 acetylation, rather than phosphorylation, increased significantly in Taxol-treated cells. When acetylation was enhanced by anti-Sirt1 siRNA or an HDAC inhibitor, Taxol-induced apoptosis was enhanced, which was not observed in p53 null cells. When an acetylation-defective mutant of p53 was re-introduced to p53 null cells, apoptosis was partially reduced compared to the re-introduction of the wild type p53. Thus, p53 plays a pro-apoptotic role in Taxol-induced apoptosis and acetylation of p53 contributes to this pro-apoptotic function in response to Taxol in several human cancer cell lines, suggesting that enhancing acetylation of p53 could have potential implication for increasing the sensitivity of cancer cells to Taxol. 相似文献

In addition to its functions in thrombosis and hemostasis, thrombin also plays an important role in lung inflammation. Our previous report showed that thrombin activates the protein kinase C (PKC)α/c-Src and Gβγ/Rac1/PI3K/Akt signaling pathways to induce IκB kinase α/β (IKKα/β) activation, NF-κB transactivation, and IL-8/CXCL8 expressions in human lung epithelial cells (ECs). In this study, we further investigated the mechanism of c-Src-dependent Shc, Raf-1, and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) signaling pathways involved in thrombin-induced NF-κB activation and IL-8/CXCL8 release. Thrombin-induced increases in IL-8/CXCL8 release and κB-luciferase activity were inhibited by the Shc small interfering RNA (siRNA), p66Shc siRNA, GW 5074 (a Raf-1 inhibitor), and PD98059 (a mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) kinase (MEK) inhibitor). Treatment of A549 cells with thrombin increased p66Shc and p46/p52Shc phosphorylation at Tyr239/240 and Tyr317, which was inhibited by cell transfection with the dominant negative mutant of c-Src (c-Src DN). Thrombin caused time-dependent phosphorylation of Raf-1 and ERK, which was attenuated by the c-Src DN. Thrombin-induced IKKα/β phosphorylation was inhibited by GW 5074 and PD98059. Treatment of cells with thrombin induced Gβγ, c-Src, and p66Shc complex formation in a time-dependent manner. Taken together, these results show for the first time that thrombin activates Shc, Raf-1, and ERK through Gβγ, c-Src, and Shc complex formation to induce IKKα/β phosphorylation, NF-κB activation, and IL-8/CXCL8 release in human lung ECs. 相似文献

We investigated the effect of heat-killed Listeria monocytogenes (HKLM) on the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in RAW264.7 macrophage-like cells. The expression of VEGF was induced in RAW264.7 cells treated with HKLM. Pretreatment of cells with cycloheximide, a protein synthesis inhibitor, inhibited the induction of VEGF mRNA by HKLM. Induction of VEGF by HKLM was partially inhibited by treatment of cells with SB203580, a p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) inhibitor, or a neutralizing antibody against tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha). In addition, HKLM induced phosphorylation of p38 MAPK. These results suggest that p38 MAPK and TNF-alpha are involved in the VEGF expression induced by HKLM in RAW264.7 cells. We confirmed that increased VEGF expression is immunohistochemically detected in splenic macrophages of mice infected with L. monocytogenes (L. monocytogenes). VEGF is thought to be involved in inflammatory reactions induced by L. monocytogenes infection. 相似文献

Osteoclasts are multinucleated cells that differentiate from hematopoietic cells and possess characteristics responsible for bone resorption. To study the involvement of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) in osteoclastogenesis of the murine monocytic cell line RAW264.7, which can differentiate into osteoclast-like cells in the presence of the receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand (RANKL), we treated the cells with specific inhibitors of p38 MAPK, PD169316 and SB203580, and specific inhibitors of MAPK extracellular signaling-regulated kinase (ERK) kinase (MEK), U0126 and PD98059. Each inhibitor blocked differentiation into osteoclast-like cells when the cells were plated at the standard cell density (2000-4000 cells per well (96-well)). However, the effect of MEK inhibitors on osteoclastogenesis varied according to the initial cell density during culture, because cell growth was clearly inhibited by them. When the cells were plated at more than 8000 cells per well, marked enhancement and acceleration of the differentiation were observed. In addition, immunoblot analysis revealed that phosphorylation of ERK was increased by treatment with the p38 inhibitors, whereas the MEK inhibitors increased phosphorylation of p38, which implies a seesaw-like balance between ERK and p38 phosphorylation. We suggest that osteoclastogenesis is regulated under a balance between ERK and p38 pathways and that the MEK/ERK pathway negatively regulates osteoclastogenesis while the p38 pathway does so positively. This is the first report that an inhibitor of signal transduction enhanced osteoclastogenesis. 相似文献

6-Hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) is a neurotoxin that has been widely used to generate Parkinson's disease (PD) models. Increased oxidative stress is suggested to play an important role in 6-OHDA-induced cell death. Given the lessened susceptibility to oxidative stress exhibited by mice lacking p66shc, this study investigated the role of p66shc in the cytotoxicity of 6-OHDA. 6-OHDA induced cell death and p66shc phosphorylation at Ser36 in SH-SY5Y cells. Pre-treatment with the protein kinase C β (PKCβ) inhibitor hispidin suppressed 6-OHDA-induced p66shc phosphorylation. Elimination of H(2)O(2) by catalase reduced cell death and p66shc phosphorylation induced by 6-OHDA. Cells deficient in p66shc were more resistant to 6-OHDA-induced cell death than wild-type cells. Furthermore, reconstitution of wild-type p66shc, but not the S36A mutant, in p66shc-deficient cells increased susceptibility to 6-OHDA. These results indicate that H(2)O(2) derived from 6-OHDA is an important mediator of cell death and p66shc phosphorylation induced by 6-OHDA and that p66shc phosphorylation at Ser36 is indispensable for the cytotoxicity of 6-OHDA. 相似文献

Macrophages play a fundamental role in silicosis in part by removing silica particles and producing inflammatory mediators in response to silica. Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) is a prominent mediator in silicosis. Silica induction of apoptosis in macrophages might be mediated by TNFalpha. However, TNFalpha also activates signal transduction pathways (NF-kappaB and AP-1) that rescue cells from apoptosis. Therefore, we studied the TNFalpha-mediated mechanisms that confer macrophage protection against the pro-apoptotic effects of silica. We will show that exposure to silica induced TNFalpha production by RAW 264.7 cells, but not by IC-21. Silica-induced activation of NF-kappaB and AP-1 was only observed in RAW 264.7 macrophages. ERK activation in response to silica exposure was only observed in RAW 264.7 macrophages, whereas activation of p38 phosphorylation was predominantly observed in IC-21 macrophages. No changes in JNK activity were observed in either cell line in response to silica exposure. Silica induced apoptosis in both macrophage cell lines, but the induction of apoptosis was significantly larger in IC-21 cells. Protection against apoptosis in RAW 264.7 cells in response to silica was mediated by enhanced NF-kappaB activation and ERK-mediated phosphorylation of the p55 TNFalpha receptor. Inhibition of these two protective mechanisms by specific pharmacological inhibitors or transfection of dominant negative mutants that inhibit IkappaBalpha or ERK phosphorylation significantly increased silica-induced apoptosis in RAW 264.7 macrophages. These data suggest that NF-kappaB activation and ERK-mediated phosphorylation of the p55 TNF receptor are important cell survival mechanisms in the macrophage response to silica exposure. 相似文献

The Raf-1 kinase activates the ERK (extracellular-signal-regulated kinase) pathway. The cyclic AMP (cAMP)-dependent protein kinase (PKA) can inhibit Raf-1 by direct phosphorylation. We have mapped all cAMP-induced phosphorylation sites in Raf-1, showing that serines 43, 259, and 621 are phosphorylated by PKA in vitro and induced by cAMP in vivo. Serine 43 phosphorylation decreased the binding to Ras in serum-starved but not in mitogen-stimulated cells. However, the kinase activity of a RafS43A mutant was fully inhibited by PKA. Mutation of serine 259 increased the basal Raf-1 activity and rendered it largely resistant to inhibition by PKA. cAMP increased Raf-1 serine 259 phosphorylation in a PKA-dependent manner with kinetics that correlated with ERK deactivation. PKA also decreased Raf-1 serine 338 phosphorylation of Raf-1, previously shown to be required for Raf-1 activation. Serine 338 phosphorylation of a RafS259A mutant was unaffected by PKA. Using RafS259 mutants we also demonstrate that Raf-1 is the sole target for PKA inhibition of ERK and ERK-induced gene expression, and that Raf-1 inhibition is mediated mainly through serine 259 phosphorylation. 相似文献

Raf-1 serine 338 phosphorylation plays a key role in adhesion-dependent activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase by epidermal growth factor 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Activation of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) 1/2 cascade by polypeptide growth factors is tightly coupled to adhesion to extracellular matrix in nontransformed cells. Raf-1, the initial kinase in this cascade, is intricately regulated by phosphorylation, localization, and molecular interactions. We investigated the complex interactions between Raf-1, protein kinase A (PKA), and p21-activated kinase (PAK) to determine their roles in the adhesion dependence of signaling from epidermal growth factor (EGF) to ERK. We conclude that Raf-1 phosphorylation on serine 338 (S338) is a critical step that is inhibited in suspended cells. Restoration of phosphorylation at S338, either by expression of highly active PAK or by expression of an S338 phospho-mimetic Raf-1 mutation, led to a partial rescue of ERK activation in suspended cells. Raf-1 inhibition in suspension was not due to excessive negative regulation on inhibitory sites S43 and S259, as these serines were largely dephosphorylated in suspended cells. Finally, strong phosphorylation of Raf-1 S338 provided resistance to PKA-mediated inhibition of ERK activation. Phosphorylation at Raf-1 S43 and S259 by PKA only weakly inhibited EGF activation of Raf-1 and ERK when cells maintained high Raf-1 S338 phosphorylation. 相似文献

Raf-1 protects cells from apoptosis, independently of its signals to MEK and ERK, by translocating to the mitochondria where it binds Bcl-2 and displaces BAD. However, the answer to the question of how Raf-1 is normally lured to the mitochondria and becomes activated remains elusive. p21-activated protein kinases (Paks) are serine/threonine protein kinases that phosphorylate Raf-1 at Ser-338 and Ser-339. Here we elucidate the molecular mechanism through which Pak1 signals to BAD through a Raf-1-activated pathway. Upon phosphorylation by Pak1, Raf-1 translocates to mitochondria and phosphorylates BAD at Ser-112. Moreover, the mitochondrial translocation of Raf-1 and the interaction between Raf-1 and Bcl-2 are regulated by Raf-1 phosphorylation at Ser-338/Ser-339. Notably, we show that formation of a Raf-1-Bcl-2 complex coincides with loss of an interaction between Bcl-2 and BAD. These signals are specific for Pak1, because Src-activated Raf-1 only stimulates the MAP kinase cascade. Thus, our data identify the molecular connections of a Pak1-Raf-1-BAD pathway that is involved in cell survival signaling. 相似文献
