To understand the genes and gene products involved in breast cancer invasion and metastasis, we previously isolated ten differentially expressed genes by differential cDNA library screening techniques, using the 13762NF rat mammary adenocarcinoma metastatic system. In this study, we further analysed a novel candidate metastasis-associated gene, mta1, previously designated clone 10.14. Northern blotting analyses showed that the steady-state mRNA expression level of mta1 was fourfold higher in a highly metastatic line (MTLn3) than in a nonmetastatic line (MTC.4). The mta1 gene was expressed at low levels in various normal rat organs, except testis, where it was expressed in high amounts. The mRNA expression levels of the human homologue of this gene were also examined in two human breast cancer metastatic systems; the ratios of mRNA were estimated to be MCF-7 (nonmetastatic):MCF7/LCC1 (invasive):MCF7/LCC2 (metastatic) = 1:2:4 and MDA-MB-468 (nonmetastatic):MDA231 (metastatic) = 1:4. Thus, the expression of this gene directly correlated with metastatic potential in two human systems, as well as in the rat metastatic system. Clone 10.14 was used to isolate a full-length cDNA clone for mta1, yielding the clone p10.14-C4.5, which was sequenced and analysed. Clone p10.14-C4.5 was 2756-bp long and contained a single open reading frame that could encode a protein of 703 amino acid (aa) residues. The aa sequence of mta1 was found to be novel by database homology search and contained possible phosphorylation sites for tyrosine kinase, protein kinase C and casein kinase II. A Pro-rich stretch was found at the C-terminal end that completely matched the consensus sequence for the SH3-binding motif.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

We investigated the cellular signaling events involved in gastric cancer by examining the role of mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) in normal and transformed human gastric tissue. A significant loss in both MAPK abundance and activity was found in the membrane fractions of the adenocarcinomas when compared to the histologically normal gastric tissue, while no significant alteration in MAPK was seen in the cytosolic fractions from these two tissue types. These findings suggest that reduction in MAPK abundance and activity are associated with loss of normal growth control in human gastric adenocarcinoma.

1. The patch-clamp technique, both cell attached and inside-out patches, was used to examine the effects of lysylbradykinin (LBK) and A23187 on ion channels in cultured Colony 29 epithelial cells derived from a human adenocarcinoma. 2. LBK and A23187 applied directly to the intact cell stimulated the opening of a number of types of ion channel including Ca(2+)-activated K+ channels. 3. By use of inside-out patches, anion channels could be stimulated to open by application of protein kinase A and ATP to the cytosolic surface. Ca(2+)-activated K+ channels were also identified in isolated membrane patches. 4. The results suggest that the anion secretion which is stimulated by LBK is a complex event, involving the activation of a number of different types of ion channel, and that part of the response is the result of hyperpolarization of the cell by activation of Ca(2+)-activated K+ channels. From the data presented in this and the accompanying papers it appears that the Ca(2+)-sensitive K+ channels would be equally effective in either the apical or basolateral membranes.

Previous studies from our laboratory demonstrated that high-density lipoproteins (subclass 3; HDL3) bind to sites specific for apolipoprotein AI on the human adenocarcinoma cell line A549 and that HDL3 binding promotes a mitogenic effect [Favre, Tazi, Le Gaillard, Bennis, Hachem and Soula (1993) J. Lipid Res. 34, 1093-1106]. In the present study, we have examined the cell proteins that showed modified phosphorylation after binding of HDL3 to specific sites, and the roles of Ca2+ and protein kinase C. Native HDL3 (but not tetranitromethane-modified HDL3) and Ca2+ ionophore A23187 strongly enhanced the phosphorylation of a 20 kDa protein (x 3.6) and, to a lower extent, the phosphorylation of 24 and 28 kDa proteins (x 2.2 and 2.6 respectively). The two effectors were equally able to stimulate cell growth. Down-regulation of protein kinase C by a 24 h incubation of cells with phorbol myristate acetate prevented the effects of HDL3 on the phosphorylation of 24 and 28 kDa proteins. However, the extent of phosphorylation of the 20 kDa protein was not affected. In contrast, activation of protein kinase C by a short incubation with phorbol myristate acetate resulted in inhibition of proliferation and an increase in 24 and 28 kDa (but not 20 kDa) protein phosphorylation. These results suggest that HDL3 putative receptors exert their proliferative effect on A549 cells through activation of a Ca(2+)-dependent protein kinase. This kinase activity is not modulated by phorbol ester and thus may be a calmodulin kinase or an isoenzyme of protein kinase C that is independent of phorbol ester. It allows a subsequent 20 kDa protein to be phosphorylated.

We have examined the regulation of endocytosis in polarized Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells. Using quantitative electron microscopy and biochemical measurements, we found that incubation with the tumor promoter phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (TPA) stimulated endocytosis of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and ricin four- to fivefold at the apical side in MDCK cells, whereas the uptake at the basolateral membrane was unaffected. The use of several protein kinase inhibitors and TPA analogues indicated that the stimulation of apical endocytosis was mediated via protein kinase C independently of protein kinase A. This stimulation occurred even when the clathrin-dependent pathway was inhibited by acidification of the cytosol, suggesting that the TPA-stimulated uptake was associated with a clathrin-independent mechanism. Moreover, we found that TPA also stimulated recycling of ricin to the apical domain. Ultrastructural analysis of MDCK cells preincubated with TPA revealed that neither the morphology nor the size of the endosomes was altered compared to control cells. Using morphometry, no marked change in the apical plasma membrane area was detected after incubation with TPA. These data indicate that the TPA-stimulated endocytosis involved neither ruffling nor formation of macropinosomes in MDCK cells. Finally, we found that TPA also selectively stimulated apical endocytosis in the human colon adenocarcinoma cell line (Caco-2). The data suggest that protein kinase C is involved in a strong stimulation of apical endocytosis and might participate in the regulation of membrane trafficking between the apical plasma membrane and apical endosomes in polarized epithelial cells.

Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) has been shown to bind two distinct receptors, designated p60 and p80, with high affinity, resulting, within minutes, in phosphorylation of several proteins. The receptors themselves do not exhibit protein kinase activity nor have any associated proteins been identified. We employed the glutathione-S-transferase (GST) fusion protein system consisting of the cytoplasmic domain of p60 (GST-p60CD delta 1) as a probe to help us identify receptor-associated proteins from human histiocytic lymphoma U-937 cells. We found that a protein of approximately 52 kDa (pp52) bound to GST-p60CD delta 1 from [35S]methionine- and 32P-labeled cells. The associated protein was phosphorylated on serine and threonine residues. Furthermore, we identified serine/threonine kinase activity associated with p60CD delta 1 that required either Mn2+ or Mg2+ for optimal activity. The preferred substrates for this kinase, in addition to p60CD delta 1, included casein and histone H1, but not histone H2B, myelin basic protein, enolase, or the cytoplasmic domain of p80. As was the case in U-937 cells, p60CD delta 1-associated kinase activity was also identified in human breast adenocarcinoma MCF-7 cells and human foreskin fibroblasts. TNF stimulation of MCF-7 and foreskin fibroblasts for 5-15 min induced approximately 50 and 240% increases in phosphorylation of p60CD delta 1, respectively. Thus, our results provide the first evidence for protein kinase activity that is specifically associated with the cytoplasmic domain of the p60 form of the TNF receptor and causes its phosphorylation. This p60 TNF receptor-associated protein and the associated kinase described here are referred to as p60-TRAP and p60-TRAK, respectively.

We have previously reported the presence of a 28-kDa protein in human mammary adenocarcinoma MCF-7 cells, whose phosphorylation by phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) and permeant diacylglycerol 1,2-dioctanoyl-sn-glycerol was correlated to growth arrest induced by the protein kinase C (PKC) activators. We now investigate the possible identity of this protein with the estrogen-regulated "24-kDa" protein shown as related to the mammalian heat shock protein 27 (Fuqua, S. A. W., Blum-Salingaros, M., and McGuire, W. L. (1989) Cancer Res 49, 4126-4129). 32P-Labeled 28-kDa protein from TPA-treated MCF-7 cells was immunoprecipitated with a 24-kDa-specific monoclonal antibody. Immunoblots from cell extracts fractionated by two-dimensional isoelectric focusing/SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis demonstrated that TPA induced the conversion of a 28-kDa isoform "a" (pI 6.7) to a more acidic isoform "b" (pI 6.2). Two-dimensional gel analysis of [3H]leucine-labeled MCF-7 cell extracts demonstrated that conversely to TPA, which induced only phosphorylation of 28-kDa protein, heat shock induced both synthesis (increase of isoform a) and phosphorylation (conversion of isoforms a to b) of the protein. 32P labeling of MCF-7 cells allowed demonstration of the presence of an extra phosphoisoform "c" (pI 5.9) upon TPA as well as heat shock treatment. When cells were pretreated with the bisindolylmaleimide GF109203X, a selective inhibitor of PKC, the heat shock-induced phosphorylation was unchanged, while the TPA effect was almost abolished, suggesting that the heat shock-activated protein kinase was very likely different from PKC. However, peptide mapping of the 28-kDa phosphoprotein suggested identical sites of phosphorylation upon TPA and heat shock stimulation. Partial amino acid sequencing of the 28-kDa protein revealed identity with both the 24-kDa protein and the mammalian HSP27. The fact that estrogens and PKC, respectively, regulate expression and phosphorylation of this 24/28-kDa protein strongly argues for its key role in MCF-7 cell proliferation and differentiation.

T84 adenocarcinoma cells were stimulated to secrete mucin by the phorbol ester phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) and Ca2+ ionophores A23187 and ionomycin. In Ca(2+)-containing media, maximal stimulation by PMA was significantly inhibited by staurosporine, but maximal A23187-stimulated secretion was not affected. Downregulation of protein kinase C (PKC) reduced maximal PMA-stimulated secretion without affecting the response to A23187. Thus PKC activation is not required for maximal Ca(2+)-mediated mucin secretion. PMA stimulated secretion in low-Ca2+ media, with and without intracellular chelation of Ca2+ by 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid. Surprisingly, Ca2+ ionophores also stimulated secretion under the same circumstances. Persistent A23187-stimulated secretion was strongly inhibited by the protein kinase inhibitors staurosporine and H-7. Secretion in Ca(2+)-containing media was also inhibited at submaximal levels of Ca(2+)-ionophore stimulation. These results indicate that PKC and Ca2+ stimulate mucin exocytosis independently. Ca2+ ionophores also stimulate secretion via a protein-kinase dependent pathway. Enhancement of protein kinase inhibition at lower Ca2+ concentrations suggests that the response could be mediated by a Ca2+ ionophore-induced depletion of an intracellular Ca2+ pool.

Resistance to FCE 24517 is not related to the emergence of any of the most frequently observed phenotypes. We have found that two resistant cell lines (L1210/24517 murine leukaemia and LoVo/24517 human colon adenocarcinoma) present congenital modifications in tyrosyl phosphatase and kinase activities. Moreover, the cytotoxic activity of FCE 24517 is increased in combination with a tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor and decreased in combination with protein kinase inhibitors, this being in agreement with the hypothesis that the activity of this drug is strictly dependent on the presence of tyrosine phosphorylated protein(s).

The amiloride-sensitive epithelial Na+ channel (ENaC) is an important component of the Na(+)-reabsorption pathway in many epithelia. The identification of three subunits of ENaC (alpha, beta and gamma), as well as results from a number of functional and biochemical studies, suggests that functional Na+ channels are composed of a complex of proteins. To learn about possible interactions of the channel with other proteins, we studied the alpha-subunit of rat and human ENaC. We found that the proline-rich C-terminal domains of both rat and human alpha-ENaC, expressed as glutathione S-transferase fusion proteins, bound to SH3 domains in vitro. A 116 kDa protein from a human lung adenocarcinoma cell line (H441) was specifically bound by the human alpha-ENaC C-terminal fusion protein and by a shorter 18-amino acid proline-rich peptide derived from the larger fusion protein. The 116 kDa protein was not glycosylated and was not phosphorylated on tyrosine or by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA). A 134 kDa protein which was also bound by the human alpha-ENaC C-terminal fusion protein was a substrate for phosphorylation by PKA. These data suggest that the proline-rich C-terminal tail of alpha-ENaC may interact with other proteins that control its function, regulation or localization.
