Herbimycin A, a benzoquinoid ansamycin antibiotic, was demonstrated to decrease intracellular phosphorylation by protein tyrosine kinase (PTK). In Philadelphia chromosome (Ph1)-positive leukemias such as chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and Ph1-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), both of which express bcr-abl fused gene products (P210bcr-abl or P190bcr-abl protein kinase) with augmented tyrosine kinase activities, herbimycin A markedly inhibited the in vitro growth of the Ph1-positive ALL cells and the leukemic cells derived from CML blast crisis. However, the same dose of herbimycin A did not inhibit in vitro growth of a broad spectrum of Ph1-negative human leukemia cells, and several other protein kinase antagonists also displayed no preferential inhibition. Furthermore, we demonstrated that herbimycin A has an antagonizing effect on the growth of transformed cells by a transfection of retroviral amphotrophic vector expressing P210bcr/abl into a murine interleukin (IL)-3-dependent myeloid FDC-P2 cell line. This inhibition was abrogated by the addition of sulfhydryl compounds, similar to the reaction previously described for Rous sarcoma virus transformation. The inhibitory effect of herbimycin A on the growth of Ph1-positive cells was associated with decreased bcr/abl tyrosine kinase activity, but no decrease of bcr-abl mRNA and protein, suggesting that the inactivation of bcr-abl tyrosine kinase activity by herbimycin A may be induced by its binding to the bcr-abl protein portion that is rich with sulfhydryl groups. The present study indicates that herbimycin A is a beneficial agent for the investigation of the role of the bcr-abl gene in Ph1-positive leukemias and further suggests that the development of agents inhibiting the bcr-abl gene product may offer a new therapeutic potential for Ph1-positive leukemias.

Interleukin-3 (IL-3) and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor induce the rapid phosphorylation of the c-raf protein in the growth factor-dependent FDC-P1 and DA-3 murine myeloid cell lines. Furthermore, immunoprecipitates of c-raf isolated from growth factor-stimulated cells demonstrate a marked increase in intrinsic protein kinase activity as measured in vitro. IL-3 and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor induce phosphorylation of c-raf at both serine and tyrosine residues. Antiphosphotyrosine immunoprecipitates from IL-3-stimulated cells demonstrate the rapid and coordinate phosphorylation of both c-raf and a protein co-migrating with the 140-kDa putative IL-3 receptor component. Collectively, the findings of rapid and coordinate ligand-induced phosphorylation of a potential IL-3 growth factor receptor component and cytoplasmic c-raf with concomitant c-raf activation provide a cogent sequential molecular model for linking external growth stimuli to intracellular signal transduction events.

FD/PMA is a subclone of the interleukin-3 (IL-3)-dependent, FDC-P1 cell line, which proliferates in response to either 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13 acetate (PMA) or IL-3. While several endogenous substrates were phosphorylated in response to protein kinase C (PKC) activation in FDC-P1, phospholipid-dependent phosphorylation in the FD/PMA grown in PMA was not observed. Basal, phosphatidylserine-independent, and diolein-independent phosphorylation of cytosolic substrates with molecular weights of 17, 52, 57, and 105 Kd were enhanced in FD/PMA cells grown in PMA as compared with FDC-P1 cells cultured in IL-3. Phosphorylation of a 105-Kd substrate was enhanced in the particulate fraction of FD/PMA cells maintained in PMA. The 17-Kd substrate in FD/PMA cells comigrated with a substrate phosphorylated in a PKC-dependent manner in FDC-P1 cells. Phosphorylation of the 52- and 57-Kd substrates, but not of the 17-Kd substrate, was inhibited by H-7 and staurosporine. A portion of the PMA-induced cytosolic kinase activity coeluted with PKC on diethyl aminoethyl chromatography. While FD/PMA cells cultured in PMA contained negligible PKC-dependent phosphorylation of endogenous substrates or histone, alpha and epsilon PKC isoforms were detected by Western blot analysis. PKC phosphotransferase activity was observed in FD/PMA cells grown in PMA when peptides corresponding to residues 720 to 737 of PKC-epsilon or residues 4 to 14 of myelin basic protein were used as substrates. These data indicate that maintenance of FD/PMA cells in PMA stimulates proliferation and markedly alters PKC substrate specificity. Generation of at least two phospholipid-independent kinases occurs in PMA-treated cells.

Erythropoietin mediates the rapid phosphorylation of Raf-1 in the murine cell lines HCD-57 and FDC-P1/ER, which proliferate in response to this cytokine. Phosphorylation occurs at both serine and tyrosine residues and as such is similar to the Raf-1 phosphorylation seen after interleukin-3 (IL-3), granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor, and interleukin-2 stimulation in other murine cell lines. Such data suggest that these growth factors may share a common mechanism(s) of Raf-1 phosphorylation. Furthermore, in association with Raf-1 phosphorylation, erythropoietin induces a 2-3-fold increase in Raf-1 kinase activity as measured in immune complex kinase assays in vitro. Finally, a c-raf antisense oligodeoxyribonucleotide, which specifically decreases intracellular Raf-1 levels, also substantially inhibits both erythropoietin and IL-3-directed DNA synthesis. Together, these results provide evidence that activated Raf-1 is a necessary component of erythropoietin and IL-3 growth signaling pathways.

A role for second messenger-regulated protein kinases in the early post-IL-3 receptor signal transduction pathway was investigated in the mast cell/megakaryocyte line R6-XE.4. The activity of the calcium- and phospholipid-dependent protein kinase C (PKC) was assessed by the ability of the enzyme to phosphorylate histone H1 in the presence of calcium, diacylglycerol, and phosphatidylserine or after proteolytic activation of PKC with trypsin. In high serum-supplemented cells, but not in cells that were preincubated in serum-deficient media for 6 h, subsequent treatment for 15 min with synthetic IL-3 (10 micrograms/ml) caused up to a sixfold increase in the calcium- and lipid-stimulated histone H1 phosphorylating activity of particulate-associated PKC after fractionation on MonoQ. However, there was no corresponding reduction of cytosolic PKC activity. Therefore, IL-3 appeared to modify the activity of preexisting membrane-associated PKC rather than eliciting its recruitment from the cytoplasm in R6-XE.4 cells. This was in contrast to the situation with FDC-P1 cells, where IL-3 induced PKC translocation. IL-3 also stimulated a cytosolic protein kinase that phosphorylated a synthetic peptide patterned after a phosphorylation site in ribosomal protein S6, but this IL did not alter the activity of cAMP-dependent protein kinase.

The effects of adenosine diphosphate (ADP) ribosylation inhibitors on hematopoietic growth factor-induced proliferation were examined. Significant inhibition of interleukin-3 (IL-3), colony-stimulating factor 1, and lung conditioned media-induced clonal agar growth of normal murine hematopoietic cells by 10 mmol/L nicotinamide (NAM), 10 mmol/L 3-aminobenzamide (3AB), and 5 mmol/L N1-methylnicotinamide (1MN) was noted. Nicotinic acid, a related compound that does not inhibit ADP ribosylation, failed to inhibit the growth factor-mediated proliferation. NAM (10 mmol/L), 3AB (10 mmol/L), and 1MN (5 mmol/L) also prevented IL-3 and phorbol ester-stimulated 3H-thymidine incorporation into the IL-3-responsive FDC-P1 cell line. Exposure of FDC-P1 cells to 10 mmol/L NAM led to a significant decrease in nuclear poly-(ADP-ribose) levels. Exposure of FDC-P1 cells to 5 mmol/L 1MN did not affect the interaction of the phorbol ester receptor, protein kinase-C (PK-C), with the cell membrane as determined by assay of phorbol ester binding in cytosol and membrane preparations. Nor did it affect the catalytic activity of PK-C as determined by assaying the in vitro phosphorylation of histone H1 by cytosolic kinase preparations from FDC-P1 as well as EL4 thymoma cells. 1MN markedly enhanced the inhibitory effects of phorbol esters on DNA synthesis of EL4 cells even at concentrations (1.25 mmol/L) that had no effects on DNA synthesis in the absence of phorbol esters. Our findings demonstrate that (a) active ADP ribosylation inhibitors interfere with growth factor-induced proliferation of murine hematopoietic cells and (b) the inhibition occurs at a step that follows the activation and translocation of PK-C and is more closely linked to DNA synthesis.

The proliferation of normal hematopoietic cells is strictly factor dependent, while leukemic cell lines and primary leukemic cells are frequently factor independent. Although autocrine growth stimulation of human leukemias is occasionally observed in vitro, it is possible that mutations of signal-transduction or cell-cycle control genes may also be important in the development of factor independence. We have previously shown that the proto-oncogene Raf-1, a 70-kd serine/threonine protein kinase, is rapidly phosphorylated and activated by hematopoietic growth factors such as granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), interleukin-3 (IL-3), and Steel factor and is likely to be an important intermediate in mitogenic signal transduction pathways in hematopoietic cells. In an effort to better understand the possible role of abnormal signal transduction in the development of factor independence, we compared the state of phosphorylation and associated kinase activity of Raf-1 between a series of factor-dependent human and murine-myeloid normal cells or cell lines and a series of factor-independent myeloid cell lines. In factor-dependent myeloid cells (normal neutrophils; monocytes; and the cell lines MO7, 32Dc13, and FDC-P1), Raf-1 phosphorylation and associated kinase activity was strictly regulated by the supply of growth factor. In contrast, each of eight factor-independent leukemic cell lines examined, HL-60, KG-1, K562, U937, JOSK-S, JOSK-M, JOSK-K, and JOSK-I, expressed hyperphosphorylated Raf-1 with increased Raf-1 associated kinase activity in the absence of growth factor addition. To further explore the relationship of Raf-1 to factor-independent growth, factor-independent sublines were derived from two factor-dependent cell lines, MO7 and FDC-P1, by culture in CSF-deprived medium. Also, several factor-independent sublines were derived by transfection of a cDNA encoding p210BCR/ABL into three different cell lines: MO7, 32Dc13, and FDC-P1. In each case, the new sublines expressed constitutively hyperphosphorylated and activated Raf-1. The correlation of hyperphosphorylation of Raf-1 with factor independence was also observed with primary acute myeloblastic leukemia cells. The rate of "spontaneous" proliferation of primary acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML) cells in vitro correlated with the extent of Raf-1 phosphorylation. These results suggest that the evolution of myeloid leukemic cells to factor independence is associated with phosphorylation and activation of Raf-1, implicating Raf-1 and signal transduction pathways which activate RAf-1 in this process.

Using murine myeloid factor-dependent FDC-P1/ER cells, we demonstrate that the hematopoietic growth factors interleukin-3 and erythropoietin and bryostatin-1, a macrocyclic lactone natural product and potent activator of protein kinase C (PKC), suppress apoptosis and induce the rapid serine phosphorylation of Bc12 alpha. Expression of recombinant wild type Bc12 alpha in NFS/N1.H-7 cells confirms that murine Bc12 alpha is phosphorylated following PKC activation. The PKC inhibitors H-7 and staurosporine, but not the protein kinase A inhibitor HA1004, block not only interleukin-3- and bryostatin-1-induced hyperphosphorylation of Bc12 alpha but also their anti-apoptotic effect on growth factor-dependent cells, suggesting a role for activated PKC in both processes. A potential direct role for a classic isoform of PKC is indicated by the Ca(2+)-dependent nature of phosphorylation of Bc12 alpha mediated by purified PKC in vitro. Comparative phosphopeptide maps confirm that Bc12 alpha phosphorylation occurs on identical serine site(s) whether phosphorylation occurs in cells following agonist treatment or directly by PKC in vitro. These findings strongly support a role for activated PKC in growth factor-induced Bc12 alpha phosphorylation as well as suppression of apoptosis.

The development of erythroid progenitor cells depends upon exposure to the glycoprotein hormone, erythropoietin (EPO). Binding of EPO to its transmembrane receptor leads to the rapid tyrosine phosphorylation of several cellular targets including Shc, Raf-1, Gap120, the cloned EPO receptor (EPOR), pp100/97, and a M(r) 130,000 EPO-activated receptor-associated Janus protein tyrosine kinase, Jak2. A membrane-proximal cytosolic region of the EPOR recently has been shown to be essential for the activation of Jak2 and sufficient for EPO-induced mitogenesis. This cytosolic region includes 8-12 amino acid box 1 and box 2 subdomains, which are conserved in certain class I receptors as well as a more distal 10-40 amino acid subdomain (extended box 2 subdomain, ExBx2), which likewise is implicated in mitogenic signaling. Through the expression of EPOR carboxyl-terminal truncation mutants in FDC-P1 cells, we presently show that an EPOR form truncated within the ExBx2 domain efficiently activates Jak2, yet is deficient in mitogenesis. Efficient expression of this mutant receptor at the cell surface and its ability to activate Jak2 indicate that poor mitogenic activity does not result from aberrant transport or folding. Rather, failure of this mutant to support proliferation above nominal rates underlines an apparent role for the EPOR ExBx2 subdomain in the activation of a distinct primary mitogenic effector.

We have previously found that Raf-1, which is activated by hematopoietic growth factors in association with phosphorylation, is required for hematopoietic cell proliferation. Recently, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate has been found to mediate Raf-1 phosphorylation, suggesting that protein kinase C (PKC) may be involved in the Raf-1 activation mechanism(s). Since PKC can be activated by hematopoietic growth factors, it was investigated as a potential "Raf-1 kinase-kinase." Results demonstrate that bryostatin 1, a pharmacologic activator of PKC, induces activation of Raf-1 in FDC-P1 cells. PKC inhibitors H7 and staurosporine block both bryostatin 1- and interleukin-3-mediated Raf-1 phosphorylation and FDC-P1 cell proliferation. Additionally, an antisense c-raf oligodeoxyribonucleotide specifically inhibits bryostatin 1-mediated proliferation, indicating a necessary role for Raf-1 in PKC signaling. Purified PKC can phosphorylate Raf-1 serine residues to high stoichiometry in vitro. Comparative phosphopeptide maps localize two PKC phosphorylation sites to Raf-1 phosphopeptides isolated from hematopoietic growth factor- or bryostatin 1-stimulated cells. The sites of PKC-mediated Raf-1 phosphorylation are deduced to be Ser497 and Ser619. Furthermore, PKC-mediated serine phosphorylation is sufficient to activate the enzymatic function of Raf-1 in vitro. These findings demonstrate that activated PKC can promote hematopoietic cell growth by regulating the enzymatic activity of Raf-1 through direct serine phosphorylation.
