beta-Adrenergic receptor stimulation regulates the activity of several different cardiac ion channels through an adenylate cyclase/cAMP/protein kinase A-dependent mechanism. Previous work has suggested that basal tyrosine kinase activity attenuates the beta-adrenergic responsiveness of these cardiac ion channels, supporting the idea that tyrosine phosphorylation exerts an inhibitory effect at some point in the common signaling pathway. To determine which element in the beta-adrenergic pathway is regulated by tyrosine kinase activity, we studied the effects of various protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) inhibitors on the cAMP-dependent regulation of the L-type Ca(2+) current in guinea pig ventricular myocytes. Three such compounds, sodium orthovanadate, peroxovanadate, and bpV(phen), had no effect on the basal Ca(2+) current, yet each caused a pronounced inhibition of the Ca(2+) current stimulated by the beta-adrenergic receptor agonist isoproterenol. These observations are consistent with the idea that basal tyrosine kinase activity is capable of inhibiting beta-adrenergic responses. However, these PTP inhibitors had no effect on cAMP-dependent stimulation of the Ca(2+) current via activation of adenylate cyclase with forskolin or activation of H(2)-histaminergic receptors with histamine. These results are consistent with the idea that inhibition of PTP activity produces an inhibitory effect involving a tyrosine kinase-dependent mechanism acting selectively at the level of the beta-adrenergic receptor. This signaling mechanism does not seem to be linked to tyrosine kinase activity associated with insulin and insulin-like growth factor receptors, because acute exposure to agonists of these receptors did not inhibit isoproterenol regulation of the Ca(2+) current.

Sgk (serum- and glucocorticoid-induced protein kinase) is a serine/threonine-specific protein kinase that is transcriptionally regulated by serum, glucorticoids, and mineralocorticoids. Sgk regulates the amiloride-sensitive sodium channel in kidney principal cells. Insulin and insulin-like growth factor-1 stimulate activity of Sgk by a mechanism mediated by phosphoinositide-dependent kinases (PDK)-1 and -2. In this study, we demonstrate that incubation of transfected cells with 8-(4-chlorophenylthio)-cAMP (8CPT-cAMP; 0.2 mm) led to a 2-fold activation of recombinant Sgk expressed in COS7 cells. Furthermore, the combination of insulin plus 8CPT-cAMP elicited a larger response than either agent alone. The effect of insulin was inhibited by wortmannin (100 nm), but not by the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) inhibitor, H89 (10 microm). As expected, the effect of 8CPT-cAMP was completely blocked by H89. Surprisingly, the effect of 8CPT-cAMP was also inhibited by wortmannin, suggesting that phosphorylation of Sgk by PDK-1 and/or -2 is required for activation by 8CPT-cAMP. Mutational analysis led to similar conclusions. The Thr(369) --> Ala mutant, lacking the PKA phosphorylation site, was activated by insulin but not 8CPT-cAMP. In contrast, the Ser(422) --> Ala mutant, lacking a PDK-2 phosphorylation site, was inactive and resistant to activation by either insulin or 8CPT-cAMP. In summary, Sgk is subject to complex regulatory mechanisms. In addition to regulation at the level of gene expression, the enzymatic activity of Sgk is regulated by multiple protein kinases, including PKA, PDK-1, and PDK-2. Cross-talk among these signaling pathways may play an important role in the pathogenesis of the hypertension associated with hyperinsulinemia, obesity, and insulin resistance.

The effect of ethanol on insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-I)-mediated signal transduction and functional activation in neuronal cells was examined. In human SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells, ethanol inhibited tyrosine autophosphorylation of the IGF-I receptor. This corresponded to the inhibition of IGF-I-induced phosphorylation of p42/p44 mitogen-activated/extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (MAPK) by ethanol. Insulin-related substrate-2 (IRS-2) and focal adhesion kinase phosphorylation were reduced in the presence of ethanol, which corresponded to the prevention of lamellipodia formation (30 min). By contrast, ethanol had no effect on Shc phosphorylation when measured up to 1 h, and did not affect the association of Grb-2 with Shc. Neurite formation at 24 h was similarly unaffected by ethanol. The data indicate that the IGF-I receptor is a target for ethanol in SH-SY5Y cells However, there is diversity in the sensitivity of signaling elements within the IGF-I receptor tyrosine kinase signaling cascades to ethanol, which can be related to the inhibition of specific functional events in neuronal activation.

The transcription factor, forkhead in rhabdomyosarcoma (FKHR), is phosphorylated at three amino acid residues (Thr-24, Ser-256 and Ser-319) by protein kinase B (PKB)alpha. In the present study, mutagenesis has been used to study the roles of these phosphorylation events in regulating FKHR function in transfected HEK-293 cells. We find that the overexpression of FKHR[S256A] (where Ser-256-->Ala) blocks PKB activity in cells, preventing phosphorylation of the endogenous substrates FKHRL1 and glycogen synthase kinase-3. Thus some reported effects of overexpression of this and other mutants may be indirect, and result from suppression of the phosphorylation of other sites on FKHR and/or other PKB substrates. For example, we have shown that Thr-24 phosphorylation alone is critical for interaction with 14-3-3 proteins, and that the substitution of Ser-256 with an alanine residue indirectly blocks 14-3-3 protein binding by preventing the phosphorylation of Thr-24. We also found that insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1 and serum-induced nuclear exclusion of FKHR[S256A] depends on the degree of overexpression of this mutant. Our results indicated that the interaction of FKHR with 14-3-3 proteins was not required for IGF-1-stimulated exclusion of FKHR from the nucleus. We present evidence in support of another mechanism, which depends on the phosphorylation of Ser-256 and may involve the masking of a nuclear localization signal. Finally, we have demonstrated that the failure of IGF-1 to suppress transactivation by FKHR[S256A] is not explained entirely by its failure to bind 14-3-3 proteins or to undergo nuclear exclusion. This result suggests that Ser-256 phosphorylation may also suppress transactivation by FKHR by yet another mechanism, perhaps by disrupting the interaction of FKHR with target DNA binding sites and/or the function of the transactivation domain.

Abstract -Hearts of wild-type and insulin-like growth factor-1 overexpressing (Igf-1(+/-)) transgenic mice were subjected to Langendorff perfusions and progressive periods of ischemia followed by reperfusion. Apoptosis was measured by DNA nucleosomal cleavage and a hairpin probe labeling assay to detect single-base overhang. Transgenic hearts subjected to 20 minutes of ischemia and 4 hours of reperfusion (I/R) sustained a rate of apoptosis of 1.8+/-0.3% compared with 4.6+/-1.1% for wild-type controls (n=4; P<0.03). Phosphorylation of the protein kinase Akt/protein kinase B was elevated 6.2-fold in transgenic hearts at baseline and increased another 4.4-fold within 10 minutes of reperfusion, remaining elevated for up to 2 hours. I/R activated Akt in wild-type hearts but to a lesser extent (1.6+/-0.3-fold). Pretreatment of transgenic hearts with wortmannin immediately before and during ischemia eliminated reperfusion-mediated activation of Akt and neutralized the resistance to apoptosis. The stress-activated kinase p38 was also activated during ischemia and reperfusion in both wild-type and transgenic hearts. Perfusion with the p38 inhibitor SB203580 (10 micromol/L) blocked both p38 activation and phosphorylation of Akt and differentially modulated apoptosis in wild-type and transgenic hearts. Pretreatment with SB203580 reduced apoptosis in wild-type hearts but increased apoptosis in transgenic hearts. These results demonstrate that Akt phosphorylation during I/R is modulated by IGF-1 and prevents apoptosis in hearts that overexpress the IGF-1 transgene.

Forkhead in rhabdomyosarcoma (FKHR) is a transcription factor that has been implicated in the control of gene expression by insulin, as well as the regulation of apoptosis by survival factors. These signals trigger the protein kinase B (PKB)-catalysed phosphorylation of FKHR at three residues (Thr(24), Ser(256) and Ser(319)) by a phosphoinositide 3-kinase-dependent pathway that results in the nuclear exit and inactivation of this transcription factor. Here, we have identified a conserved residue (Ser(329)) as a novel in vivo phosphorylation site on FKHR. Ser(329) phosphorylation also decreases the ability of FKHR to stimulate gene transactivation and reduces the proportion of FKHR present in the nucleus. However, unlike the residues targetted by PKB, Ser(329) is phosphorylated in unstimulated HEK-293 cells, and phosphorylation is not increased by stimulation with insulin-like growth factor-1 or by transfection with 3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase-1. We have also purified a protein kinase to near homogeneity from rabbit skeletal muscle that phosphorylates FKHR at Ser(329) specifically and identified it as DYRK1A (dual-specificity tyrosine-phosphorylated and regulated kinase 1A). We find that FKHR and DYRK1A co-localize in discrete regions of the nucleus and can be co-immunoprecipitated from cell extracts. These experiments suggest that DYRK1A may phosphorylate FKHR at Ser(329) in vivo.

Follicles from the hen ovary that have been selected into the preovulatory hierarchy are committed to ovulation and rarely become atretic under normal physiological conditions. In part, this is attributed to the resistance of the granulosa layer to apoptosis. The present studies were conducted to evaluate the role of the phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase/Akt signaling pathway in hen granulosa cell survival and, by implication, follicle viability. Cloning of the chicken akt2 homologue revealed a high degree of amino acid homology to its mammalian counterparts within the catalytic domain, plus complete conservation of the putative Thr(308) and Ser(474) phosphorylation sites. Treatment of granulosa cells from the three largest preovulatory follicles with insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I and, to a lesser extent, transforming growth factor (TGF)-alpha induces rapid phosphorylation of Akt, and such phosphorylation is effectively blocked by the PI 3-kinase-inhibitor LY294006. Serum withdrawal from cultured cells for 33-44 h initiates oligonucleosome formation, an indicator of apoptotic cell death, whereas cotreatment with IGF-I prevents this effect. Moreover, treatment of cultured cells for 20 h with LY294006 induces apoptosis. The potential for nonspecific cell toxicity following LY294006 treatment is considered unlikely because of the ability of either LH or 8-bromo cAMP cotreatment to block LY294006-induced cell death. Finally, both IGF-I and TGF-alpha also activate mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase signaling, at least in part, through the phosphorylation of ERK: However, treatment with neither U0126 nor PD98059 (inhibitors of MAP kinase kinase) induced cell death in cultured granulosa cells, despite the ability of each inhibitor to effectively block Erk phosphorylation. Taken together, these results provide evidence for a role of the Akt signaling pathway in promoting cell survival within the preovulatory follicle granulosa layer. In addition, the data indicate the importance of an alternative survival pathway mediated via gonadotropins and protein kinase A independent of Akt signaling.

ILKAP, a protein serine/threonine (S/T) phosphatase of the PP2C family, was isolated in a yeast two-hybrid screen baited with integrin-linked kinase, ILK1. Association of ILK1 and ILKAP was independent of the catalytic activity of either partner, as assayed in co-precipitation and two-hybrid experiments. Condi tional expression of ILKAP in HEK 293 cells resulted in selective inhibition of ECM- and growth factor-stimulated ILK1 activity, but did not inhibit Raf-1 kinase activity. A catalytic mutant of ILKAP, H154D, did not inhibit ILK1 kinase activity. Two cellular targets of ILK1, glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta (GSK3beta) and protein kinase B (PKB)/AKT, were differentially affected by ILKAP-mediated inhibition of ILK1. Catalytically active, but not mutant ILKAP, strongly inhibited insulin-like growth factor-1-stimulated GSK3beta phosphorylation on Ser9, but did not affect phosphorylation of PKB on Ser473, suggesting that ILKAP selectively affects ILK-mediated GSK3beta signalling. Consistent with this, active, but not H154D mutant or the related PP2Calpha, selectively inhibited transactivation of a Tcf/Lef reporter gene, TOPFlash, in 293 cells. We propose that ILKAP regulates ILK1 activity, targeting ILK1 signalling of Wnt pathway components via modulation of GSK3beta phosphorylation.

The type 1 insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF-IR) sends a strong anti-apoptotic signal by at least three different pathways. By using mutants of the IGF-IR, we showed that one of the pathways depends on residues of the IGF-IR (serines 1280--1283) that interact with 14.3.3 proteins. The result is the activation of Raf-1 and the mitochondrial translocation of both Raf-1 and Nedd4, a target of caspases. A mutant IGF-IR in which the serines at positions 1280--1283 have been mutated to alanine does not protect from apoptosis and fails to translocate Nedd4 or Raf-1 to the mitochondria. This failure is accompanied by a loss of cytochrome c from the mitochondria. The 14.3.3/Raf-1/Nedd4 pathway is operative in the presence or absence of the insulin receptor substrate-1.

Insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II) plays a key role in mitogenesis during development and tumorigenesis and is believed to exert its mitogenic functions mainly through the IGF-I receptor. Recently, we identified the insulin receptor isoform A (IR(A)) as an additional high affinity receptor for IGF-II in both fetal and cancer cells. Here we investigated the mitogenic signaling of IGF-II via the Akt/Glycogen synthase kinase 3 (Gsk3) axis employing R-IR(A) cells that are IGF-I receptor null mouse embryonic fibroblasts expressing the human IR(A). IGF-II induced activation of the proto-oncogenic serine kinase Akt, reaching maximal at 5-10 min. IGF-II also caused the rapid and sustained deactivation of glycogen synthase kinase 3-beta (Gsk3beta), reaching maximal at 1-3 min, shortly preceding, therefore, maximal activation of Akt. Under our conditions, IGF-II and insulin induced 70-80% inhibition of Gsk3betaactivity. In these cells IGF-II also deactivated Gsk3alpha although less effectively than Gsk3beta. In parallel experiments, we found that IGF-II induced transient activation of extracellular-signal-regulated kinases (Erk) reaching maximal at 5-10 min and decreasing thereafter. Time courses and potencies of regulation of both mitogenic pathways (Akt/Gsk3beta and Erk) by IGF-II via IR(A) were similar to those of insulin. Furthermore, IGF-II like insulin effectively stimulated cell cycle progression from the G0/G1 to the S and G2/M phases. Interestingly, AP-1-mediated gene expression, that was reported to be negatively regulated by Gsk3beta was only weakly increased after IGF-II stimulation. Our present data suggest that the coordinated activation or deactivation of Akt, Gsk3beta, and Erk may account for IGF-II mitogenic effects and support an active role for IR(A) in IGF-II action.
