Abstract: | Clathrin-coated pits are now recognized to be involved in cell signaling in addition to receptor down-regulation. Here we tried to identify signaling pathways that might be dependent on clathrin. Our initial data with pharmacological inhibitors of formation of clathrin-coated pits or lipid-rafts indicated that Ca(2+) response evoked by cross-linking of the high affinity receptors for IgE (FcepsilonRI) was dependent on clathrin. To confirm this finding, we created clathrin-knockdown cells by transfecting the mast cell line RBL-2H3 with a shRNA-clathrin heavy chain construct. In these cells, the FcepsilonRI-mediated Ca(2+) response was almost completely abolished, which was accompanied by the inhibition of sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) production with no changes in inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3)) production. This suggests that the Ca(2+) signaling pathway via a sphingosine kinase (SK) is dependent on clathrin. Furthermore, antigen-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of p85 and p110 subunits of PI3K was almost completely inhibited in clathrin-knockdown cells. In contrast, antigen-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of phospholipase Cgamma was not affected by clathrin-knockdown and tyrosine phosphorylation of Syk and degranulation were partially inhibited in clathrin-knockdown cells. The present study identifies the SK/Ca(2+) pathway to be dependent on clathrin. |
