FGF signals for cell proliferation and migration through different pathways   总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9  
FGFs are pleiotropic growth factors that control cell proliferation, migration and differentiation. However, FGF transduction studies have so far focused primarily on the mitogenic effect of this growth factor family and it has been difficult to assess if the described intracellular signaling pathways are dedicated solely to cell proliferation, or whether they are equally important for the migratory activity often seen in responsive cells. We review here papers in which the migratory effects of this growth factor family were clearly discriminated from proliferative effects. In toto, these studies suggest that cells use different signaling pathways for migration, such as Src and p38 MAP kinase, from those for proliferation, which tend to upregulate the ERKs. Which signaling pathway a cell uses for proliferation or migration appears to depend on many factors, including the structure and the quantity of available FGF trapped in the basal lamina by heparan sulfate co-factors, the disposition of cognate high affinity receptors and the general environment of the cell. Thus the density of the cell population, the state of the cell cycle, the presence of other factors or receptors will modulate the migratory response of cells to FGF.  相似文献

The distinct effects of cytokines on cellular growth and differentiation suggest that specific signaling pathways mediate these diverse biological activities. Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) are well-established inhibitors of skeletal muscle differentiation and may operate via activation of specific signaling pathways distinct from recently identified mitogen signaling pathways. We examined whether platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-activated signaling pathways are sufficient to mediate FGF-dependent repression of myogenesis by introducing the PDGF beta receptor into a mouse skeletal muscle cell line. Addition of PDGF-BB to cells expressing the PDGF beta receptor activated the PDGF beta receptor tyrosine kinase, stimulated mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase, and increased the steady-state levels of junB and c-fos mRNAs. Despite the activation of these intracellular signaling molecules, PDGF beta receptor activation elicited no detectable effect on cell proliferation or differentiation. In contrast to PDGF-BB, addition of FGF-2 to myoblasts activated signaling pathways that resulted in DNA synthesis and repression of differentiation. Because of the low number of endogenous FGF receptors expressed, FGF-stimulated signaling events, including tyrosine phosphorylation and activation of MAP kinase, could be detected only in cells expressing higher levels of a transfected FGF receptor cDNA. As the PDGF beta receptor- and FGF receptor-stimulated signaling pathways yield different biological responses in these skeletal muscle cells, we hypothesize that FGF-mediated repression of skeletal muscle differentiation activates signaling pathways distinct from those activated by the PDGF beta receptor. Activation of PDGF beta receptor tyrosine kinase activity, stimulation of MAP kinase, and upregulation of immediate-early gene expression are not sufficient to repress skeletal muscle differentiation.  相似文献

Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) is an important modulator of cell growth and differentiation of various cells including neuron. Cells need to adhere specifically to cellular and extracellular components of their environment to carry out diverse physiological functions. Here, we examined whether fibronectin (FN) and FGF can cooperate for neuronal adhesion and neurite outgrowth. Using recombinant FN peptide (FNIII9-10), we found that FNIII9-10-mediated adhesion promotes the effect of FGF1 on neurite outgrowth of PC12 cells, while FGF1 enhances the FNIII9-10-mediated neuronal adhesion of PC12 cells. This collaboration of FNIII9-10 and FGF1 was the result of the sustained activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)-type MAP kinase. Finally, the synergistic activity of FGF1 and FN was inhibited by PD98059, an MEK inhibitor. Taken together, these findings indicate that FN-mediated signaling can collaborate with FGFRs signaling for neurite outgrowth through selective activation of ERK-type MAP kinase in PC12 cells, and suggest that FN and FGF act in concert to regulate cell differentiation in the nervous system.  相似文献

In CCL39 cells transfected with m1-muscarinic receptors, carbachol stimulates phosphoinositide turnover and early events associated with mitogenesis as efficiently as thrombin but, in contrast to thrombin, fails to induce cell proliferation (Seuwen, K., Kahan, C., Hartmann, T., and Pouysségur, J. (1990) J. Biol. Chem. 265, 22292-22299). We show here that the action of the two agents can be dissociated at the level of S6 kinase and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAP kinase) activation. Mitogenic concentrations of thrombin and basic FGF were found to stimulate S6 kinase activity, measured in whole cell lysates, with a biphasic time course; an early peak of activity is induced 10 min following stimulation and a sustained phase of activity can be measured over several hours. A very similar profile emerged for p44 MAP kinase (p44mapk), assayed in immunoprecipitates. In this case, the activity first peaks at 6-8 min, preceding S6 kinase. In contrast to thrombin and FGF, carbachol stimulates S6 kinase and MAP kinase only transiently, corresponding to the first peak of activity, but the sustained phase is not observed. Similarly, phorbol dibutyrate induces an early phase of activity only. Pertussis toxin (PTX), which is known to block thrombin mitogenicity efficiently, inhibited the first peak of thrombin-induced S6 kinase and MAP kinase activity only partially, but totally blocked the sustained phase. The toxin had no effect on FGF-induced kinase activities. The cAMP elevating hormone PGE1 did not inhibit p44mapk or S6 kinase activation by thrombin or FGF, demonstrating that the PTX-sensitive signal generated by thrombin does not depend on a Gi-mediated sustained inhibition of adenylylcyclase. Surprisingly, PGE1 was found to stimulate sustained phase S6 kinase activity both alone and in synergy with FGF or thrombin. This result, as well as the biphasic activation of S6 kinase by thrombin, could be qualitatively reproduced in immunocomplex kinase assays using an antiserum immunoprecipitating p70 S6 kinase (p70S6k). Our data show that activation of phosphoinositide turnover and PKC does not quantitatively explain thrombin action, in particular the sustained phase of kinase activities, which critically depends on a PTX-sensitive signal different from adenylylcyclase inhibition. We postulate that this signal does not exclusively originate from the recently identified G protein-coupled thrombin receptor.  相似文献

Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) and their receptors are critical participants in embryonic development, including the genesis of skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle. FGF signaling is mediated through interactions between multiple FGF ligands and transmembrane tyrosine kinase receptors, resulting in activation of a number of signal transduction pathways. Skeletal myocytes express FGF ligands and receptors in a coordinated fashion, suggesting that these molecules participate in autocrine signaling in the myocyte. Endogenously produced FGF has been shown to inhibit myogenesis, but the role of FGF receptor availability in directing myocyte proliferation and differentiation has not been established. To determine the contribution of receptor availability to the regulation of myogenesis, receptor availability was either increased by expressing a full-length FGF receptor-1 or decreased by expressing a truncated FGF receptor-1 in cultured skeletal myocytes. Constitutive expression of a full-length FGF receptor-1 increased myocyte proliferation and delayed differentiation. Conversely, a reduction in functional FGF receptor signaling by expression of a truncated FGF receptor-1 decreased proliferation and enhanced differentiation of myocytes. These data demonstrate that FGF receptor availability plays a critical regulatory role in skeletal myogenesis.  相似文献

Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) have been implicated in a number of proliferative lesions, including malignant tumor growth and vascularization. As a result, cytotoxic agents that target cell surface FGF receptors are currently under investigation. Previous reports have shown that conjugation of basic FGF with the ribosome inactivator, saporin, results in a potent cytotoxin specific for cells bearing high-affinity FGF receptors. In this report, we have used this FGF receptor-dependent cytotoxin to study receptor interactions at the surface of embryonal carcinoma cells, which express low numbers of high-affinity FGF receptors. The growth of three embryonal carcinoma cell lines and one embryonic stem cell line was shown to be inhibited by bFGF-saporin, suggesting that these cells are able to bind and internalize FGF through high-affinity FGF receptors. In addition, we determined that the responses of these cells to bFGF-saporin are qualitatively different than the responses of CHO-KI cells, which also exhibit low numbers of high-affinity FGF receptors. Specifically, pretreatment with bFGF-saporin reduces the cloning efficiency of CHO-KI cells 8- to 10-fold, whereas bFGF-saporin has little or no effect on the cloning efficiency of embryonal carcinoma cells. This finding suggests that bFGF-saporin is cytotoxic for CHO-KI cells, but not for embryonal carcinoma cells. Thus, our findings argue strongly that other factors, in addition to high-affinity FGF receptor number, are important in determining sensitivity of cells of bFGF-saporin.  相似文献

Expression of both basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and FGF receptors (FGFR) by vascular smooth muscle cells suggests that autocrine FGF signaling mechanisms may have important functions. Inhibition of smooth muscle cell bFGF expression provokes apoptosis, suggesting that endogenous bFGF generates an anti-apoptotic signal. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the survival function of endogenous bFGF requires signaling through FGFR. A recombinant adenovirus encoding a truncated murine FGFR-1 lacking the kinase domain (DN-FGFR) efficiently expressed the transgene in cultured rat aortic smooth muscle cells. The truncated receptor acted in a dominant negative fashion to effectively prevent receptor-mediated signaling, assessed by phosphorylation of p42/p44 MAP kinase. Expression of DN-FGFR provoked apoptosis of SMC in a dose-dependent fashion that was insensitive to recombinant bFGF but could be rescued by platelet derived growth factor or epidermal growth factor. Heterologous growth factor rescue was inhibited by PD98059, an inhibitor of MEK (MAP kinase-kinase). These data demonstrate that inhibition of FGF receptor activation results in apoptosis and suggest that an intact autocrine FGF signaling loop is required for vascular smooth muscle cell survival in vitro. These findings also implicate the Ras/Raf/MEK /MAP kinase cascade in generating or sustaining the survival signal. The functional significance of an autocrine FGF signaling loop in non-transformed cells has important implications for cardiovascular development, remodeling and disease. J. Cell.

Common mechanisms plants use to translate the external stimuli into cellular responses are the activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade. These MAPK cascades are highly conserved in eukaryotes and consist of three subsequently acting protein kinases, MAP kinase kinase kinase (MAPKKK), MAP kinase kinase (MAPKK) and MAP kinase (MAPK) which are linked in various ways with upstream receptors and downstream targets. Plant MAPK cascades regulate numerous processes, including various environmental stresses, hormones, cell division and developmental processes. The number of MAPKKs in Arabidopsis and rice is almost half the number of MAPKs pointing important role of MAPKKs in integrating signals from several MAPKKKs and transducing signals to various MAPKs. The cross talks between different signal transduction pathways are concentrated at the level of MAPKK in the MAPK cascade. Here we discussed the insights into MAPKK mediated response to environmental stresses and in plant growth and development.  相似文献

Cadherin-11 is a cell–cell adhesion molecule whose expression is often correlated with cellular migratory phenomena. We recently demonstrated that cadherin-11 activation by immobilized cad11–Fc (cadherin-11 ectodomain fused to Fc fragment) promotes axonal extension of spinal cord explants. Here, we show that this induced neurite outgrowth is dependent on the FGF receptor (FGFR) activity. Downstream, DAG lipase/CAM kinase and PI3 kinase pathways are required, but not the MAP kinase signalling. We also demonstrate that a tagged form of FGFR1 co-immunoprecipitates with β-catenin containing cadherin-11 immunocomplexes. FGFR1 and β-catenin show colocalization and enhanced association during cadherin-11 engagement, suggesting that FGFR1 interaction with cadherin-11 adhesion complexes is reinforced during cell contact formation. In vitro pull-down experiments using recombinant ectodomains suggest that cadherin-11/FGFR interact directly through their extracellular domains. Altogether, we propose that cadherin-11 recruits the FGFR upon adhesive engagement at nascent contacts, triggering the activation of downstream pathways involved in growth cone progression.  相似文献

Fibroblast growth factors 1 and 2 (FGF1 and FGF2) are mainly considered as ligands of surface receptors through which they regulate a broad spectrum of biological processes. They are secreted in non-canonical way and, unlike other growth factors, they are able to translocate from the endosome to the cell interior. These unique features, as well as the role of the intracellular pool of FGF1 and FGF2, are far from being fully understood. An increasing number of reports address this problem, focusing on the intracellular interactions of FGF1 and 2. Here, we summarize the current state of knowledge of the FGF1 and FGF2 binding partners inside the cell and the possible role of these interactions. The partner proteins are grouped according to their function, including proteins involved in secretion, cell signaling, nucleocytoplasmic transport, binding and processing of nucleic acids, ATP binding, and cytoskeleton assembly. An in-depth analysis of the network of these binding partners could indicate novel, non-classical functions of FGF1 and FGF2 and uncover an additional level of a fine control of the well-known FGF-regulated cellular processes.  相似文献

Acetylcholine muscarinic m1 receptors and m2 receptors are predominantly coupled to the heterotrimeric G proteins Gq, 11 and Gi, respectively. Stimulation of the m1 and m2 receptors in different cell types activate the Ras/Raf/MAP kinase pathway. The ability of the m1 receptor to activate the MAP kinase pathway is dependent on the isoforms of adenylyl cyclase expressed in specific cell types. Specific adenylyl cyclases respond to different signals, including calcium and protein kinase C, with increased cAMP synthesis resulting in protein kinase A activation. Stimulation of protein kinase A inhibits Raf and subsequent MAP kinase activation by G protein-coupled receptors and growth factor receptor tyrosine kinases. G protein-coupled receptors can positively and negatively regulate the responsiveness of tyrosine kinase-stimulated response pathways.  相似文献

Bile acids (BAs) are recently recognized key signaling molecules that control integrative metabolism and energy expenditure. BAs activate multiple signaling pathways, including those of nuclear receptors, primarily farnesoid X receptor (FXR), membrane BA receptors, and FXR-induced FGF19 to regulate the fed-state metabolism. Small heterodimer partner (SHP) has been implicated as a key mediator of these BA signaling pathways by recruitment of chromatin modifying proteins, but the key question of how SHP transduces BA signaling into repressive histone modifications at liver metabolic genes remains unknown. Here we show that protein kinase Cζ (PKCζ) is activated by BA or FGF19 and phosphorylates SHP at Thr-55 and that Thr-55 phosphorylation is critical for the epigenomic coordinator functions of SHP. PKCζ is coimmunopreciptitated with SHP and both are recruited to SHP target genes after bile acid or FGF19 treatment. Activated phosphorylated PKCζ and phosphorylated SHP are predominantly located in the nucleus after FGF19 treatment. Phosphorylation at Thr-55 is required for subsequent methylation at Arg-57, a naturally occurring mutation site in metabolic syndrome patients. Thr-55 phosphorylation increases interaction of SHP with chromatin modifiers and their occupancy at selective BA-responsive genes. This molecular cascade leads to repressive modifications of histones at metabolic target genes, and consequently, decreased BA pools and hepatic triglyceride levels. Remarkably, mutation of Thr-55 attenuates these SHP-mediated epigenomic and metabolic effects. This study identifies PKCζ as a novel key upstream regulator of BA-regulated SHP function, revealing the role of Thr-55 phosphorylation in epigenomic regulation of liver metabolism.  相似文献

FGF signaling plays a pivotal role in regulating cell movements and lineage induction during gastrulation. Here we identify 44 microRNAs that are expressed in the primitive streak region of gastrula stage chicken embryos. We show that the primary effect of FGF signaling on microRNA abundance is to negatively regulate the levels of miR-let-7b, -9, -19b, -107, -130b, and -218. LIN28B inhibits microRNA processing and is positively regulated by FGF signaling. Gain- and loss-of-function experiments show that LIN28B negatively regulates the expression of miR-19b, -130b, and let-7b, whereas negative modulation of miR-9, -107, and -218 appears to be independent of LIN28B function. Predicted mRNA targets of the FGF-regulated microRNAs are over-represented in serine/threonine and tyrosine kinase receptors, including ACVR1, ACVR2B, PDGFRA, TGFBR1, and TGFBR3. Luciferase assays show that these and other candidates are targeted by FGF-regulated microRNAs. PDGFRA, a receptor whose activity is required for cell migration through the primitive streak, is a target of miR-130b and -218 in vivo. These results identify a novel mechanism by which FGF signaling regulates gene expression by negatively modulating microRNA abundance through both LIN28B-dependent and LIN28B-independent pathways.  相似文献

Although mitogenic and differentiating factors often activate a number of common signaling pathways, the mechanisms leading to their distinct cellular outcomes have not been elucidated. In a previous report, we demonstrated that mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase (ERK) activation by the neurogenic agents fibroblast growth factor (FGF) and nerve growth factor is dependent on protein kinase Cdelta (PKCdelta), whereas MAP kinase activation in response to the mitogen epidermal growth factor (EGF) is independent of PKCdelta in rat hippocampal (H19-7) and pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells. We now show that EGF activates MAP kinase through a PKCzeta-dependent pathway involving phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and PDK1 in H19-7 cells. PKCzeta, like PKCdelta, acts upstream of MEK, and PKCzeta can potentiate Raf-1 activation by EGF. Inhibition of PKCzeta also blocks EGF-induced DNA synthesis as monitored by bromodeoxyuridine incorporation in H19-7 cells. Finally, in embryonic rat brain hippocampal cell cultures, inhibitors of PKCzeta or PKCdelta suppress MAP kinase activation by EGF or FGF, respectively, indicating that these factors activate distinct signaling pathways in primary as well as immortalized neural cells. Taken together, these results implicate different PKC isoforms as determinants of growth factor signaling specificity within the same cell. Furthermore, these data provide a mechanism whereby different growth factors can differentially activate a common signaling intermediate and thereby generate biological diversity.  相似文献
