It has long been known from the results of ultrastructural studies that complement- and immunoglobulin G (IgG)-opsonized particles are phagocytosed differently by macrophages (Kaplan. G. 1977. Scand. J. Immunol. 6:797-807). Complement-opsonized particles sink into the cell, whereas IgG-coated particles are engulfed by lamellipodia, which project from the cell surface. The molecular basis for these differences is unknown. We used indirect immunofluorescence and confocal microscopy to examine how cytoskeletal proteins associate with phagosomes containing complement-opsonized zymosan (COZ) particles or IgG beads in phorbol-myristateacetate-treated peritoneal macrophages. During ingestion of COZ, punctate structures rich in F-actin, vinculin, alpha-actinin, paxillin, and phosphotyrosine-containing proteins are distributed over the phagosome surface. These foci are detected beneath bound COZ within 30 s of warming the cells to 37 degrees C, and their formation requires active protein kinase C. By contrast, during Fc receptor-mediated phagocytosis, all proteins examined were uniformly distributed on or near the phagosome surface. Moreover, ingestion of IgG beads was blocked by tyrosine kinase inhibitors, whereas phagocytosis of COZ was not. Thus, the signals required for particle ingestion, and the arrangement of cytoskeletal proteins on the phagosome surface, vary depending upon which phagocytic receptor is engaged. Moreover, complement receptor (CR)-mediated internalization required intact microtubules and was accompanied by the accumulation of vesicles beneath the forming phagosome, suggesting that membrane trafficking plays a key role in CR-mediated phagocytosis.

Endothelin-1 (ET-1) binding to ETB receptors increases the activity of the apical membrane Na+/H+ antiporter (NHE3) of renal proximal tubule and cultured OKP cells. In OKPETB6 cells, a clonal cell line of OKP cells that overexpresses ETB receptors, ET-1-induced increases in Na+/H+ antiporter activity are mediated 50% by Ca2(+)-dependent pathways and 50% by tyrosine kinase pathways. ET-1 induces tyrosine phosphorylation of proteins of 68, 110, 125, 130, and 210 kDa. ET-1-induced tyrosine phosphorylation is mediated by the ETB receptor and is not dependent on increases in cell Ca2+ or protein kinase C. The 68-, 110-, 125-, and 130-kDa phosphoproteins are cytosolic, whereas the 210-kDa phosphoprotein is an integral membrane protein. Immunoprecipitation studies showed that the 68-kDa protein is paxillin and the 125-kDa protein is p125FAK (focal adhesion kinase). Cytochalasin D, which disrupts focal adhesions, prevented ET-1-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of paxillin, p110, p125FAK, and p130 but did not prevent tyrosine phosphorylation of p210 and did not prevent ET-1-induced increases in Na+/H+ antiporter activity. Thus 50% of ETB receptor-induced Na+/H+ antiporter activation is mediated by tyrosine kinase pathways, possibly involving p210. ETB receptor activation also induces tyrosine phosphorylation of focal adhesion proteins, but this is not required for antiporter activation.

Integrin-associated protein (IAP) is a receptor for the carboxyl-terminal "cell-binding domain" (CBD) of thrombospondin 1 (TS1). IAP associates with alpha v beta 3 integrin and mAbs against IAP inhibit certain integrin functions. Here we examine the effects of the TS1 CBD and 4N1K (KRFYVVMWKK), a cell-binding peptide derived from it, on the adhesion and spreading on vitronectin (VN) of C32 human melanoma cells which express IAP, alpha v beta 3, and alpha v beta 5. Cells adhere to VN at low surface densities via alpha v beta 5 and spread very slowly while adhesion to higher density VN involves both alpha v beta 5 and alpha v beta 3 and results in rapid spreading. Spreading of the cells, but not adhesion, on sparse VN coatings is markedly enhanced by the presence of soluble TS1, the recombinant CBD and 4N1K, but not the "mutant" peptide 4NGG, KRFYGGMWKK, which fails to bind IAP. This enhanced spreading is completely blocked by mAb LM609 against alpha v beta 3 and the anti-IAP mAb B6H12. Correlated with this enhanced spreading is increased tyrosine phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK), paxillin, and a protein of ca. 90 kD. The enhanced spreading induced by TS1 and 4N1K and the constitutive spreading on higher density VN are both blocked by calphostin C (100 nM), wortmannin (10 nM), and tyrosine kinase inhibitors. In contrast, pertussis toxin specifically blocks only the TS1 stimulated spreading on low density VN, indicating that IAP exerts its effects on signal transduction via a heterotrimeric Gi protein acting upstream of a common cell spreading pathway which includes PI-3 kinase, PKC, and tyrosine kinases.

Secretory cleavage of the amyloid precursor protein (APP), a process that releases soluble APP derivatives (APPs) into the extracellular space, is stimulated by the activation of muscarinic receptors coupled to phosphoinositide hydrolysis. The signalling pathways involved in the release process exhibit both protein kinase C- and protein tyrosine phosphorylation-dependent components [Slack, Breu, Petryniak, Srivastava and Wurtman (1995) J. Biol. Chem. 270, 8337-8344]. The possibility that elevations in intracellular Ca2+ concentration initiate the tyrosine phosphorylation-dependent release of APPs was examined in human embryonic kidney cells expressing muscarinic m3 receptors. Inhibition of protein kinase C with the bisindolylmaleimide GF 109203X decreased the carbachol-evoked release of APPs by approx. 30%, as shown previously. The residual response was further decreased, in an additive manner, by the Ca2+ chelator EGTA, or by the tyrosine kinase inhibitor tyrphostin A25. The Ca2+ ionophore, ionomycin, like carbachol, stimulated both the release of APPs and the tyrosine phosphorylation of several proteins, one of which was identified as paxillin, a component of focal adhesions. The effects of ionomycin on APPs release and on protein tyrosine phosphorylation were concentration-dependent, and occurred over similar concentration ranges; both effects were inhibited only partly by GF 109203X, but were abolished by EGTA or by tyrosine kinase inhibitors. The results demonstrate for the first time that ionophore-induced elevations in intracellular Ca2+ levels elicit APPs release via increased tyrosine phosphorylation. Part of the increase in APPs release evoked by muscarinic receptor activation might be attributable to a similar mechanism.

Shigella, the causative agents of bacillary dysentery, are capable of invading mammalian cells that are not normally phagocytic. Uptake of bacteria by the mammalian cells is directed by bacterial factors named IpaB, IpaC, and IpaD invasins, in which Ipa invasins secreted into the bacterial environment can interact with alpha5beta1 integrin. We report here that Shigella invasion of epithelial cells requires rho activity, a ras-related GTP-binding protein. The invasive capacity of Shigella flexneri for Chinese hamister ovary (CHO) cells and other epithelial cells were greatly reduced when treated with Clostridium botulinum exoenzyme C3 transferase. Conversely, uptake of bacteria by CHO cells was promoted upon microinjection of an activated rho variant, Val14RhoA. Attachment of S. flexneri to CHO cells can elicit tyrosine phosphorylation of pp125FAK and paxillin, localized accumulation of F-actin, vinculin, and talin, and activation of protein kinase C, which were all blocked by the treatment with C3 transferase. Our results indicate that cellular signal transduction regulated by rho is essential for Shigella invasion of epithelial cells.

Treatment of Swiss 3T3 cells with cytotoxic necrotizing factor 1 (CNF1) from Escherichia coli and dermonecrotic toxin (DNT) from Bordetella bronchiseptica, which directly target and activate p21(rho), stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase (p125(fak)) and paxillin. Tyrosine phosphorylation induced by CNF1 and DNT occurred after a pronounced lag period (2 h), and was blocked by either lysosomotrophic agents or incubation at 22 degrees C. CNF1 and DNT stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of p125(fak) and paxillin, actin stress fiber formation, and focal adhesion assembly with similar kinetics. Cytochalasin D and high concentrations of platelet-derived growth factor disrupted the actin cytoskeleton and completely inhibited CNF1 and DNT induced tyrosine phosphorylation. Microinjection of Clostridium botulinum C3 exoenzyme which ADP-ribosylates and inactivates p21(rho) function, prevented tyrosine phosphorylation of focal adhesion proteins in response to either CNF1 or DNT. In addition, our results demonstrated that CNF1 and DNT do not induce protein kinase C activation, inositol phosphate formation, and Ca2+ mobilization. Moreover, CNF1 and DNT stimulated DNA synthesis without activation of p42(mapk) and p44(mapk) providing additional evidence for a novel p21(rho)-dependent signaling pathway that leads to entry into the S phase of the cell cycle in Swiss 3T3.

We have characterized signaling pathways involving the related adhesion focal tyrosine kinase (RAFTK, also known as PYK2 or CAK-beta) in CMK human megakaryocytic cells. Stem cell factor, which potentiates the growth of megakaryocytes and their progenitors, and phorbol myristate acetate, which causes differentiation of megakaryocytic cell lines, induced the tyrosine phosphorylation of RAFTK but not of focal adhesion kinase. Stimulation of CMK cells with stem cell factor resulted in an increase in the autophosphorylation and kinase activity of RAFTK. Phosphorylation of RAFTK under these conditions was mediated by a protein kinase C-dependent pathway. Cytochalasin D, which disrupts the cytoskeleton, abolished the phosphorylation of RAFTK upon phorbol myristate acetate and stem cell factor stimulation, indicating that RAFTK association with the actin cytoskeleton appears to be critical for its phosphorylation. In addition, we observed an association of RAFTK with paxillin, a 68-kDa cytoskeleton protein. Using in vitro binding assays, RAFTK and paxillin were shown to bind directly through the C-terminal proline-rich domain. Transient overexpression of a dominant-negative mutant of RAFTK inhibited significantly the tyrosine phosphorylation of paxillin upon phorbol myristate acetate stimulation. These observations indicate that RAFTK might play an important role in the phosphorylation of signaling pathways within the focal adhesions and that RAFTK participates in signaling events that link signals from the cell surface to the cytoskeleton. Furthermore, this study suggests that RAFTK might be involved in megakaryocyte proliferation and differentiation.

Sphingosine 1-phosphate (SPP), a sphingolipid second messenger implicated in the mitogenic action of platelet-derived growth factor [Olivera, A. and Spiegel, S. (1993) Nature (London) 365, 557-560], induced rapid reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton resulting in stress-fibre formation. SPP also induced transient tyrosine phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase (p125(FAK)), a cytosolic tyrosine kinase that localizes in focal adhesions, and of the cytoskeleton-associated protein paxillin. Exoenzyme C3 transferase, which ADP-ribosylates Rho (a Ras-related small GTP binding protein) on asparagine-41 and renders it biologically inactive, inhibited both stress-fibre formation and protein tyrosine phosphorylation induced by SPP. Thus Rho may be an upstream regulator of both stress-fibre formation and tyrosine phosphorylation of p125(FAK) and paxillin. Pretreatment with PMA, an activator of protein kinase C (PKC), inhibited the stimulation of stress-fibre formation induced by 1-oleoyl-lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) but not that by SPP. Similarly, PMA also decreased LPA-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of p125(FAK) and paxillin without abrogating the response to SPP. Thus PKC is involved in LPA- but not SPP-dependent signalling. The polyanionic drug suramin, a broad-specificity inhibitor of ligand-receptor interactions, did not inhibit either the mitogenic effect of SPP or its stimulation of tyrosine phosphorylation of p125(FAK). However, suramin markedly inhibited these responses induced by LPA. These results suggest that in contrast with LPA, SPP may be acting intracellularly in Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts to stimulate tyrosine phosphorylation of p125(FAK) and paxillin and cell growth.

Bombesin-like peptides, including the mammalian homologue gastrin-releasing peptides, are highly expressed and secreted by neuroendocrine cells in prostate carcinoma (PCa) tissues and are likely to be related to the progression of this disease. In the present study, we show that bombesin enhances the migration of androgen-independent PCa cells (PC-3) in vitro, while not affecting their adhesion to extracellular matrix proteins. The bombesin-increased motility of PC-3 cells occurs through its receptor, and, as shown with inhibitors, it likely requires activation of both protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs) and protein kinases C (PKCs). Because the focal adhesion kinase pp125FAK plays a key role in adhesion/motility and is highly expressed in advanced PCa, we examined whether in PC-3 cells bombesin signal transduction triggers the tyrosine phosphorylation of this PTK and of associated integrins and signaling proteins likely to be present in focal adhesion plaques. pp125FAK tyrosine phosphorylation was stimulated by bombesin and mimicked by PKC activation with the tumor-promotor phorbol 12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA). Moreover, this effect of bombesin on pp125FAK tyrosine phosphorylation requires the presence of both active PKC and cytoskeleton integrity since this signal was abolished by down-regulating PKCs induced by prolonged PMA treatment or by PKC inhibition with GF 109203X, as well as by disruption of the cytoskeleton with cytochalasin D. We also show that bombesin increases the tyrosine phosphorylation of a 95-kDa protein (pp95) which was co-immunoprecipitated with the alpha v and beta (3 and 5) subunits, forming integrin receptors with alpha v in PC-3 cells. The protein pp95 is distinct from the endogenously tyrosine-phosphorylated beta3 subunit. In addition, upon bombesin treatment, the beta1, beta3 and beta5 integrin subunits co-immunoprecipitated with pp125FAK and major phosphotyrosine (pY)-containing proteins of 125 and 68-70 kDa, likely corresponding to pp125FAK and paxillin. Together our data suggest that, in addition to PKC activation, tyrosine phosphorylation of pp125FAK and integrin-associated proteins may play an important role in bombesin signaling, triggering the processes of PCa cell motility and invasion.

Recent studies show that the effects of some oncogenes, integrins, growth factors and neuropeptides are mediated by tyrosine phosphorylation of the cytosolic kinase p125 focal adhesion kinase (p125(FAK)) and the cytoskeletal protein paxillin. Recently we demonstrated that cholecystokinin (CCK) C-terminal octapeptide (CCK-8) causes tyrosine phosphorylation of p125(FAK) and paxillin in rat pancreatic acini. The present study was aimed at examining whether protein kinase C (PKC) activation, calcium mobilization, cytoskeletal organization and small G-protein p21(rho) activation play a role in mediating the stimulation of tyrosine phosphorylation by CCK-8 in acini. CCK-8-stimulated phosphorylation of p125(FAK) and paxillin reached a maximum within 2.5 min. The CCK-8 dose response for causing changes in the cytosolic calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) was similar to that for p125(FAK) and paxillin phosphorylation, and both were to the left of that for receptor occupation and inositol phosphate production. PMA increased tyrosine phosphorylation of both proteins. The calcium ionophore A23187 caused only 25% of the maximal stimulation caused by CCK-8. GF109203X, a PKC inhibitor, completely inhibited phosphorylation with PMA but had no effect on the response to CCK-8. Depletion of [Ca2+]i by thapsigargin had no effect on CCK-8-stimulated phosphorylation. Pretreatment with both GF109203X and thapsigargin decreased CCK-8-stimulated phosphorylation of both proteins by 50%. Cytochalasin D, but not colchicine, completely inhibited CCK-8- and PMA-induced p125(FAK) and paxillin phosphorylation. Treatment with Clostridium botulinum C3 transferase, which inactivates p21(rho), caused significant inhibition of CCK-8-stimulated p125(FAK) and paxillin phosphorylation. These results demonstrate that, in pancreatic acini, CCK-8 causes rapid p125(FAK) and paxillin phosphorylation that is mediated by both phospholipase C-dependent and -independent mechanisms. For this tyrosine phosphorylation to occur, the integrity of the actin, but not the microtubule, cytoskeleton is essential as well as the activation of p21(rho).
