The role of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) dependent protein kinase (PKA) in modulating functions of differentiated renal cells is well established. Its importance in controlling their growth and differentiation is less clear. We have used somatic cell genetic techniques to probe the role of PKA in controlling morphology and behavior of a renal epithelial cell line, LLC-PK1, which acquires many properties characteristic of the renal proximal tubular cell. Mutants of this line altered in PKA activity have been isolated and their behavior compared to that of the parent line. The results indicate that PKA is involved, either directly or indirectly, in maintenance of cell morphology, cell-cell and cell-substratum interactions, density-dependent growth regulation, and expression of one function characteristic of the renal proximal tubular cell, Na-hexose symport. The relevance of these results to the role of PKA in controlling growth and differentiation of renal epithelial cells in vivo is discussed.

Previous studies have implicated adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP)-dependent protein kinase (PKA) in regulation of both growth and expression of differentiated function in the pig renal epithelial cell, LLC-PK1. To investigate this possible regulatory mechanism, we compared growth behavior, morphology, and appearance of two differentiated functions, Na-hexose symport (SYMP) and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (gamma-GT), in the LLC-PK1 line and two PKA-deficient mutants (FIB4 and FIB6). Compared with the wild-type cell line, the mutant lines continued to proliferate at higher population densities and exhibited altered cell morphology, poorer formation of the brush-border structure, and decreased or lack of expression of SYMP and gamma-GT activities. Wild-type and mutant cells exhibit an identical logarithmic growth rate. Both lines form cell-cell junctions and exhibit identical kinetic properties of expressed SYMP activity. These results strongly support the hypothesis that PKA modulates a defined subset of cellular processes, including aspects of growth control and expression of the differentiated phenotype, in this renal epithelial cell line.

Competitive hormone binding studies with membrane and partially purified receptors from Xenopus laevis oocytes revealed that the oocyte possesses high affinity (KD = 1-3 nM) binding sites for both insulin growth factors 1 and 2 (IGF-1 and IGF-2), but not for insulin. Consistent with these findings, IGF-1 activates hexose uptake by Xenopus oocytes with a KA (3 nM) identical with its KD, while IGF-2 and insulin activate hexose uptake with KA values of 50 nM and 200-250 nM, respectively, suggesting activation mediated through an IGF-1 receptor. Both IGF-1 and insulin activate receptor beta-subunit autophosphorylation and, thereby, protein substrate (reduced and carboxyamidomethylated lysozyme, i.e. RCAM-lysozyme) phosphorylation with KA values comparable to their respective KD values for ligand binding and KA values for activation of hexose uptake. The autophosphorylated beta-subunit(s) of the receptor were resolved into two discrete components, beta 1 and beta 2 (108 kDa and 94 kDa, respectively), which were phosphorylated exclusively on tyrosine and which exhibited similar extents of IGF-1-activated autophosphorylation. When added prior to autophosphorylation, RCAM-lysozyme blocks IGF-1-activated autophosphorylation and, thereby, IGF-1-activated protein substrate (RCAM-lysozyme) phosphorylation. Based on these findings, we conclude that IGF-1-stimulated autophosphorylation of its receptor is a prerequisite for catalysis of protein substrate phosphorylation by the receptor's tyrosine-specific protein kinase. The IGF-1 receptor kinase is implicated in signal transmission from the receptor, since anti-tyrosine kinase domain antibody blocks IGF-1-stimulated kinase activity in vitro and, when microinjected into intact oocytes, prevents IGF-1-stimulated hexose uptake.

In the present study we have examined the ability of 8-bromoadenosine cyclic 3',5'-phosphate (8-bromo-cAMP; the membrane permeant analog of cAMP which can activate protein kinase A) to mimic hormone action and stimulate glucose transport and glucose transporter (GLUT-1) gene expression as well as the expression of several growth-related protooncogenes in quiescent 3T3-L1 fibroblasts. 8-Bromo-cAMP induced a rapid and prolonged increase in the rate of hexose transport. Early activation of hexose transport (within 30 min) was associated with increased plasma membrane immunoreactive glucose transporters, which corresponded to a doubling in the number of D-glucose-displaceable, plasma membrane cytochalasin B binding sites. The time course for 8-bromo-cAMP-induced hexose transport preceded the accumulation of GLUT-1 mRNA, which peaked between 4 and 8 h after exposure to the agent, and subsequently declined to approach basal (control) levels. Expression of the immediate-early genes c-fos and jun-B was induced by 8-bromo-cAMP on a rapid, but sustained time course, whereas induction of c-jun expression was delayed. Alterations in specific mRNAs following exposure to 8-bromo-cAMP were due to increased gene transcription (as judged by nuclear transcription run-on assays), although with respect to GLUT-1, an increase in mRNA stability was also observed. Treatment of the cells with forskolin resulted in the induction of GLUT-1 expression as well as expression of the immediate early genes. Exposure of quiescent 3T3-L1 fibroblasts to 8-bromo-cAMP resulted in a substantial increase in rates of total protein and RNA synthesis, but had little effect on DNA synthesis. The results demonstrate that 8-bromo-cAMP initiated a G0/G1 transition, but did not permit progression into S-phase. The results further suggest that increased cytosolic cAMP results in the stimulation of glucose transport by three distinct mechanisms to include translocation of pre-existing transporters, increased transcription of the GLUT-1 gene and increased stability of GLUT-1 mRNA.

Cell extracts of the thermophile Clostridium thermohydrosulfuricum catalyzed the phosphorylation by [gamma-32P]ATP of several endogenous proteins with Mrs between 13,000 and 100,000. Serine and tyrosine were the main acceptors. Distinct substrate proteins were found in the soluble (e.g., proteins p66, p63, and p53 of Mrs 66,000, 63,000, and 53,000, respectively) and particulate (p76 and p30) fractions, both of which contained protein kinase and phosphatase activity. The soluble fraction suppressed the phosphorylation of particulate proteins and contained a protein kinase inhibitor. Phosphorylation of p53 was promoted by 10 microM fructose 1,6-bisphosphate or glucose 1,6-bisphosphate and suppressed by hexose monophosphates, whereas p30 and p13 were suppressed by 5 microM brain (but not spinach) calmodulin. Polyamines, including the "odd" polyamines characteristic of thermophiles, modulated the labeling of most of the phosphoproteins. Apart from p66, all the proteins labeled in vitro were also rapidly labeled in intact cells by 32Pi. Several proteins strongly labeled in vivo were labeled slowly or not at all in vitro.

We have studied the effects of insulin on several aspects of cell metabolism in the insulin-sensitive, nonfusing muscle cell line BC3H-1. In the absence of exogenous hexose, insulin did not alter basal glycogen synthase percentage I activity, or attenuate the increase in intracellular cAMP content, the activation of glycogen phosphorylase a, or the decrease in glycogen synthase I brought about by beta-adrenergic receptor activation with epinephrine. In contrast, both insulin and the tumor-promoting phorbol ester, tetradecanoylyl phorbol acetate markedly increased mitochondrial pyruvate dehydrogenase activity in the absence of hexose. Both glycogen synthase phosphatase and glycogen synthase kinase activities were present in BC3H-1 cell extracts and were regulated in the expected manner by glucose 6-phosphate and cAMP, respectively. Since the pattern of partial insulin resistance seen in BC3H-1 myocytes would require that several potentially insulin-sensitive enzymes be insensitive to insulin-generated signals, the most likely explanation for these data is that the myocytes are defective in some mechanism of insulin signaling which is independent of the mechanism for pyruvate dehydrogenase activation.

The HXK2 gene product has an important role in controlling carbon catabolite repression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We have raised specific antibodies against the hexokinase PII protein and have demonstrated that it is a 58 kDa phosphoprotein with protein kinase activity. The predicted amino acid sequence of the HXK2 gene product has significant homology to the conserved catalytic domain of mammalian and yeast protein kinases. Protein kinase activity was located in a different domain of the protein from the hexose-phosphorylating activity. The hexokinase PII protein level remained unchanged in P2T22D mutant cells (hxk1 HXK2 glk1) growing in a complex medium with glucose. The protein kinase activity of hexokinase PII is regulated by the glucose concentration of the culture medium. Exit from the carbon catabolite repression phase and entry into derepression phase may be controlled, in part, by modulation of the 58 kDa protein kinase activity by changes in cyclic AMP concentration.

Xenopus laevis oocytes possess a glucose transport system that is activated 3- to 5-fold by insulin-like growth factor I (Ka = 3 nM) and insulin (Ka = 200-250 nM), properties suggesting activation mediated by an insulin-like growth factor I receptor. This activation increases the Vmax of hexose uptake and has little or no effect on the Km for deoxyglucose (Km = 1-2 mM). Activation by hormone requires about 60 min and is inhibited by cytochalasin B but not by cycloheximide. The dependence of hexose uptake rate on hexose concentration exhibits cooperativity with Hill coefficients of 1.8 and 1.4 for the basal and hormone-activated states, respectively. Microinjection of a monoclonal antibody directed against the tyrosine kinase domain of the human insulin receptor blocks activation of hexose uptake by insulin-like growth factor I and insulin but has no effect on basal uptake. Taken together the results implicate the tyrosine-specific protein kinase activity of a cell-surface insulin-like growth factor I receptor in the activation of glucose transport in the Xenopus oocyte.

The influence of tumour promoters and growth factors on glycolysis and on fructose-2,6-bisphosphate concentration was studied in isolated mouse spleen lymphocytes and in purified B-cells. The intracellular concentration of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate and the rate of lactate release were increased 2-3-fold in spleen lymphocytes exposed to active phorbol esters, mitogenic lectins, interleukin 4 or lipopolysaccharide. The maximal effect was observed after 1 h of exposure. In these cells hexose 6-phosphates increased 2-fold and 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase activity remained unchanged after treatment with phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate or with lectins. Exposure of B-cells to phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate, interleukin 4 or lipopolysaccharide increased the glycolytic flux and the concentration of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate without relation to their mitogenic activity. Lymphocytes and rat liver 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase were partially purified using the same procedure. The lymphocyte enzyme was not inhibited by sn-glycerol 3-phosphate in contrast to the potent inhibition observed in liver. Treatment of both enzymes with the catalytic subunit of the cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase failed to inactivate 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase from lymphocytes. These differences suggest that lymphocytes and liver contain different forms of this enzyme.

Down-modulation of Ca2+-activated, phospholipid-dependent protein kinase (protein binase C), which was accomplished by pretreatment with phorbol-12,13-dibutyrate for 24 h, resulted in the loss of a phorbol ester-induced stimulation of hexose transport activity in Swiss 3T3 cells. In these cells, however, platelet-derived growth factor as well as Ca2+ ionophore A23187 were still able to induce stimulation of hexose transport activity accompanied by the elevation of intracellular free Ca2+ concentration. Since chelation of extracellular Ca2+ inhibited this stimulation, inflow of extracellular Ca2+ into cytoplasm seemed to be essential for the stimulatory effect of platelet-derived growth factor and A23187 on hexose transport. Epidermal growth factor and insulin also stimulated hexose transport activity regardless of the absence of protein kinase C. However, in the case of epidermal growth factor, intracellular Ca2+, but not extracellular Ca2+, was found to be necessary for the stimulation. On the other hand, insulin stimulated the hexose transport independent of both intra- and extracellular Ca2+.
