The Janus kinase-signal transducers and activators of transcription (JAK-STAT) pathway is stimulated by angiotensin II (Ang II) via the type 1 receptor after acute pressure overload in the heart. The purpose of this study was to determine whether activation of the JAK-STAT pathway by Ang II is dependent on G proteins. Ang II (100 nmol/L for 120 minutes) caused formation of sis-inducing factor (SIF) complexes and tyrosine phosphorylation of STAT proteins in neonatal rat ventricular myocytes. The percentage of change in Ang II-stimulated SIF induction was not affected by pertussis toxin (PTX) or GP antagonist-2A, compounds that inhibit activation of G(i) and G(o) proteins. In contrast, GP antagonist-2A, a peptide that selectively inhibits activation of G(q) proteins, completely abolished Ang II-stimulated SIF induction and STAT3 tyrosine phosphorylation. Pretreatment of cardiac myocytes with U73122, an inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PLC) activity, decreased Ang II-stimulated SIF induction and STAT3 tyrosine phosphorylation in a dose-dependent manner. Chelation of intracellular Ca(2+) with BAPTA-AM did not alter Ang II-stimulated SIF induction. In contrast, pretreatment of cardiac myocytes with Ro-31-8220, a potent and specific inhibitor of protein kinase C (PKC), decreased Ang II-stimulated SIF induction in a dose-dependent manner. Ang II-stimulated SIF induction was abolished in cardiac myocytes after downregulation of PKC by treatment with PMA. From these data, we conclude that Ang II-stimulated SIF induction and STAT3 tyrosine phosphorylation is mediated by PTX-insensitive G proteins through a G(q)-PLC-PKC-mediated pathway in neonatal rat ventricular myocytes.

The signal transduction involved in the purinergic stimuli-induced activation of protein kinase C (PKC) in CHO-K1 cells was investigated. Purinergic stimuli such as adenosine triphosphate and uridine triphosphate induced a transient translocation of PKC epsilon, gamma, and delta from the cytoplasm to the plasma membrane. These translocations were blocked by an inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PLC), but not by an inhibitor of phosphatidylcholine-specific PLC. A diacylglycerol (DAG) analogue also induced reversible translocations of PKC gamma, epsilon, and delta from the cytoplasm to the plasma membrane, while the calcium ionophore A23187 caused a similar translocation of only the gamma subtype. These results confirm that the hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol-2-phosphate by PLC and the subsequent generation of DAG and increase in Ca(2+ )are involved in the purinergic stimuli-induced translocation of PKC. A DAG antagonist, 1-o-hexadecyl-2-o-acetyl-glycerol, blocked the DAG analogue-induced translocations of all PKC subtypes tested but failed to inhibit the purinergic stimuli-induced translocations of PKC epsilon and gamma. The DAG antagonist could not block the ATP- and UTP-induced translocation of PKC epsilon even in the absence of extracellular Ca(2+). Co-application of the DAG antagonist and a phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) inhibitor such as aristolochic acid, arachidonyltrifluoromethyl ketone, or bromoenol lactone inhibited the purinergic receptor-mediated translocation of PKC epsilon although each PLA(2) inhibitor alone did not block the translocation. In contrast to the epsilon subtype, ATP-induced translocation of PKC gamma was observed in the presence of both the PLA(2) inhibitor and the DAG antagonist. However, it is noteworthy that re-translocation of PKC gamma was hastened by the PLA(2) inhibitor. Furthermore products of PLA(2), such as lysophospholipids and fatty acids, induced the translocation of PKC gamma and epsilon in a dose dependent manner, but not delta. These results indicate that, in addition to PLC and DAG, PLA(2) and its products are involved in the purinergic stimuli-induced translocation of PKC epsilon and gamma in CHO-K1 cells. Each subtype of PKC in CHO-K1 cell is individually activated in response to a purinergic stimulation.

Thromboxane A2 (TXA2) receptor-mediated signal transduction was investigated in 1321N1 human astrocytoma cells. 9,11-Epithio-11,12-methano-TXA2 (STA2), a TXA2 receptor agonist, induced Ca2+ mobilization and phosphoinositide hydrolysis in a concentration-dependent manner. These responses were inhibited by treatment with U73122, an inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C, or by culturing in 0.5% fetal calf serum containing 0.5 mM dibutyryladenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (dbcAMP) for 2 days. However, the dbcAMP treatment augmented the TXA2 receptor-mediated phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK). These results were confirmed by a functional MAPK assay measuring the incorporation of 32P into the MAPK substrate peptide. The TXA2 receptor-mediated MAPK activation was inhibited by SQ29548, a TXA2 receptor antagonist, and GF109203X, an inhibitor of protein kinase C. Although U73122 did not inhibit or only slightly inhibited the activation of MAPK, D-609, an inhibitor of phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase C, potently attenuated the activation in a concentration-dependent manner. Furthermore, STA2 accelerated the release of [3H]choline metabolites from the cells prelabeled with [3H]choline chloride. This release was inhibited by treatment with D-609. These results suggest that phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase C and protein kinase C, but not phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C, are involved in TXA2 receptor-mediated MAPK activation in 1321N1 human astrocytoma cells.

Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) elicits pleiotropic effects on various types of cells through the c-Met receptor tyrosine kinase. However, the mechanisms underlying the diverse responses of cells remain unknown. We show here that HGF promoted chemokinesis of rat primary astrocytes through the activation of phosphatidylinositol 3 (PI3)-kinase without any influence on mitogenesis of the cells. Under the same condition, phospholipase Cgamma1 (PLCgamma1), which is another signal mediator of c-Met, was not tyrosine-phosphorylated during HGF stimulation. However, treatment of the cells with orthovanadate, a tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor, restored the HGF-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of PLCgamma1. A tyrosine phosphatase, SHP-1, was associated with both PI3-kinase and PLCgamma1 before HGF stimulation, but it was dissociated only from PI3-kinase after the stimulation. Furthermore, transfectants of catalytically inactive mutant of SHP-1 showed tyrosine phosphorylation of PLCgamma1 and mitogenic responses to HGF, and the mitogenic response was blocked with, an inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol-specific PLC, and calphostin C, an inhibitor of protein kinase C downstream of the PLCgamma1. These results indicate that PLCgamma1 is selectively prevented from being a signal mediator by constitutive association of SHP-1, and that this selective inhibition of PLCgamma1 may determine the cellular response of astrocytes to HGF.

Stimulation of delta-opioid receptors has been shown to activate phospholipase C via the activation of G-proteins in vitro. The present study was designed to determine, with the tail-flick method, whether the stimulatory effect of delta-opioid receptor agonists on phospholipase C and inositol lipid turnover participates in the mechanisms of the delta-opioid receptor-mediated antinociception in the mouse spinal cord. Intrathecal pretreatment with the phospholipase C inhibitors neomycin and U73122, which produced no changes in the basal tail-flick latencies when they were injected alone, significantly attenuated the antinociception induced by intrathecal administration of the selective delta-opioid receptor agonist [D-Ala(2)]deltorphin II in mice. The selective phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C inhibitor ET-18-OCH(3) inhibited the antinociception induced by intrathecal administration of [D-Ala(2)]deltorphin II in a dose-dependent manner. In mice undergoing treatment with LiCl, which impairs phosphatidylinositol synthesis, the antinociception induced by intrathecal administration of [D-Ala(2)]deltorphin II was significantly reduced. Co-administration of D-myo-inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate restored the [D-Ala(2)]deltorphin II-induced antinociception in LiCl-pretreated mice. On the other hand, intrathecal pretreatment with the selective protein kinase C inhibitor calphostin C, but not the protein kinase A inhibitor KT5720, resulted in a dose-dependent enhancement of the [D-Ala(2)]deltorphin II-induced antinociception. These results indicate a potential role for the phospholipase C-inositol-1,4, 5-trisphosphate pathway in the expression of delta-opioid receptor-mediated antinociception in the mouse spinal cord. Furthermore, activation of protein kinase C by the stimulation of delta-opioid receptors may constitute a significant pathway involved in negative modulation of spinal delta-opioid receptor-mediated antinociception.

Infection of the J774 murine macrophage-derived cell line with Listeria monocytogenes results in several elevations of intracellular calcium during the first 15 min of infection. These appear to result from the actions of secreted bacterial proteins, including phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC), a broad-range phospholipase C, and listeriolysin O (LLO) (S. J. Wadsworth and H. Goldfine, Infect. Immun. 67:1770-1778, 1999). We have measured hydrolysis of host PI and the activation of host polyphosphoinositide-specific PLC and host phospholipase D (PLD) during infection with wild-type and mutant L. monocytogenes. Elevated hydrolysis of host PI occurred within the first 10 min of infection and was dependent on both bacterial PI-PLC and LLO, both of which were required for the earliest elevations of intracellular calcium in the host cell. A more rapid hydrolysis of host PI was observed at 30 min after infection, at the time when wild-type bacteria have been internalized. Activation of host PLC, also occurred in the first 10 min of infection but was not dependent on the presence of bacterial PI-PLC. Similar observations were made in murine bone marrow-derived macrophages. In J774 cells, activation of host PLD was observed after 20 min of infection and was dependent on bacterial LLO. Mutants in the bacterial phospholipases produced levels of PLD activation similar to those produced by the wild type. Phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) also activated host PLD, while long-term treatment with PMA resulted in loss of the ability of L. monocytogenes to activate host PLD, suggesting an involvement of protein kinase C (PKC) in the activation of PLD. Rottlerin, an inhibitor of PKC delta in J774 cells, also inhibited the activation of PLD, but hispidin, an inhibitor of PKC betaI and betaII, did not. Pretreatment of J774 cells with the PLD inhibitor, 2, 3-diphosphoglycerate partially inhibited escape of the bacteria from the primary phagocytic vacuole.

Regulation of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1 and 2 (ERK1/2) pathway by the extracellular calcium (Ca2+o)-sensing receptor (CaR) was investigated in bovine parathyroid and CaR-transfected human embryonic kidney (HEKCaR) cells. Elevating Ca2+o or adding the selective CaR activator NPS R-467 elicited rapid, dose-dependent phosphorylation of ERK1/2. These phosphorylations were attenuated by pretreatment with pertussis toxin (PTX) or by treatment with the phosphotyrosine kinase (PTK) inhibitors genistein and herbimycin, the phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) inhibitor U-73122, or the protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor GF109203X and were enhanced by the PKC activator phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate. Combined treatment with PTX and inhibitors of both PKC and PTK nearly abolished high Ca2+o-evoked ERK1/2 activation in HEKCaR cells, demonstrating CaR-mediated coupling via both Gq and G(i). High Ca2+o increased serine phosphorylation of the 85-kDa cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) in both parathyroid and HEKCaR cells. The selective mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) inhibitor PD98059 abolished high-Ca2+o)-induced ERK1/2 activation and reduced cPLA2 phosphorylation in both cell types, documenting MAPK's role in cPLA2 activation. Thus our data suggest that the CaR activates MAPK through PKC, presumably through Gq/11-mediated activation of PI-PLC, as well as through G(i)- and PTK-dependent pathway(s) in bovine parathyroid and HEKCaR cells and indicate the importance of MAPK in cPLA2 activation.

Nuclear receptors for 17 beta-estradiol (E(2)) are present in growth plate chondrocytes from both male and female rats and regulation of chondrocytes through these receptors has been studied for many years; however, recent studies indicate that an alternative pathway involving a membrane receptor may also be involved in the cell response. E(2) was found to directly affect the fluidity of chondrocyte membranes derived from female, but not male, rats. In addition, E(2) activates protein kinase C (PKC) in a nongenomic manner in female cells, and chelerythrine, a specific inhibitor of PKC, inhibits E(2)-dependent alkaline phosphatase activity and proteoglycan sulfation in these cells, indicating PKC is involved in the signal transduction mechanism. The aims of the present study were: (1) to examine the effect of a cell membrane-impermeable 17 beta-estradiol-bovine serum albumin conjugate (E(2)-BSA) on chondrocyte proliferation, differentiation, and matrix synthesis; (2) to determine the pathway that mediates the membrane effect of E(2)-BSA on PKC; and (3) to compare the action of E(2)-BSA to that of E(2). Confluent, fourth passage resting zone (RC) and growth zone (GC) chondrocytes from female rat costochondral cartilage were treated with 10(-9) to 10(-7) M E(2) or E(2)-BSA and changes in alkaline phosphatase specific activity, proteoglycan sulfation, and [(3)H]-thymidine incorporation measured. To examine the pathway of PKC activation, chondrocyte cultures were treated with E(2)-BSA in the presence or absence of GDP beta S (inhibitor of G-proteins), GTP gamma S (activator of G-proteins), U73122 or D609 (inhibitors of phospholipase C [PLC]), wortmannin (inhibitor of phospholipase D [PLD]) or LY294002 (inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase). E(2)-BSA mimicked the effects of E(2) on alkaline phosphatase specific activity and proteoglycan sulfation, causing dose-dependent increases in both RC and GC cell cultures. Both forms of estradiol inhibited [(3)H]-thymidine incorporation, and the effect was dose-dependent. E(2)-BSA caused time-dependent increases in PKC in RC and GC cells; effects were observed within three minutes in RC cells and within one minute in GC cells. Response to E(2) was more robust in RC cells, whereas in GC cells, E(2) and E(2)-BSA caused a comparable increase in PKC. GDP beta S inhibited the activation of PKC in E(2)-BSA-stimulated RC and GC cells. GTP gamma S increased PKC in E(2)-BSA-stimulated GC cells, but had no effect in E(2)-BSA-stimulated RC cells. The phosphatidylinositol-specific PLC inhibitor U73122 blocked E(2)-BSA-stimulated PKC activity in both RC and GC cells, whereas the phosphatidylcholine-specific PLC inhibitor D609 had no effect. Neither the PLD inhibitor wortmannin nor the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitor LY294022 had any effect on E(2)-BSA-stimulated PKC activity in either RC or GC cells. The classical estrogen receptor antagonist ICI 182780 was unable to block the stimulatory effect of E(2)-BSA on PKC. Moreover, the classical receptor agonist diethylstilbestrol (DES) had no effect on PKC, nor did it alter the stimulatory effect of E(2)-BSA. The specificity of the membrane response to E(2) was also demonstrated by showing that the membrane receptor for 1 alpha,25-(OH)(2)D(3) was not involved. These data indicate that the rapid nongenomic effect of E(2)-BSA on PKC activity in RC and GC cells is dependent on G-protein-coupled PLC and support the hypothesis that many of the effects of E(2) involve membrane-associated mechanisms independent of classical estrogen receptors.

Many of the effects of 1alpha,25-(OH)2D3 and 24R,25-(OH)2D3 on costochondral chondrocytes are mediated by the protein kinase C (PKC) signal transduction pathway. 1alpha,25-(OH)2D3 activates PKC in costochondral growth zone chondrocytes through a specific membrane receptor (1alpha,25-mVDR), involving rapid increases in diacylglycerol via a phospholipase C (PLC)-dependent mechanism. 24R,25-(OH)2D3 activates PKC in resting zone chondrocytes. Although diacylglycerol is increased by 24R,25-(OH)2D3, PLC is not involved, suggesting a phospholipase D (PLD)-dependent mechanism. Here, we show that resting zone and growth zone cells express mRNAs for PLD1a, PLD1b, and PLD2. Both cell types have PLD activity, but levels are higher in resting zone cells. 24R,25-(OH)2D3, but not 24S,25-(OH)2D3 or 1alpha,25-(OH)2D3, stimulates PLD activity in resting zone cells within 3 min via nongenomic mechanisms. Neither 1alpha,25-(OH)2D3 nor 24R,25-(OH)2D3 affected PLD in growth zone cells. Basal and 24R,25-(OH)2D3-stimulated PLD were inhibited by the PLD inhibitors wortmannin and EDS. Inhibition of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase), PKC, phosphatidylinositol-specific PLC (PI-PLC), and phosphatidylcholine-specific PLC (PC-PLC) had no effect on PLD activity. Thus, 24R,25-(OH)2D3 stimulates PLD, and PI 3-kinase, PI-PLC and PKC are not involved, whereas PLD is required for stimulation of PKC by 24R,25-(OH)2D3. Pertussis toxin, GDPbetaS, and GTPgammaS had no effect on 24R,25-(OH)2D3-dependent PLD when added to cell cultures, indicating that G-proteins are not involved. These data show that PKC activation in resting zone cells is mediated by PLD and suggest that a functional 24R,25-(OH)2D3-mVDR is required. The results also support the conclusion that the 24R,25-(OH)2D3-responsive PLD is PLD2, since this PLD isoform is G-protein-independent.

1alpha,25-(OH)(2)D(3) regulates protein kinase C (PKC) activity in growth zone chondrocytes by stimulating increased phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) activity and subsequent production of diacylglycerol (DAG). In contrast, 24R,25-(OH)(2)D(3) regulates PKC activity in resting zone (RC) cells, but PLC does not appear to be involved, suggesting that phospholipase D (PLD) may play a role in DAG production. In the present study, we examined the role of PLD in the physiological response of RC cells to 24R,25-(OH)(2)D(3) and determined the role of phospholipases D, C, and A(2) as well as G-proteins in mediating the effects of vitamin D(3) metabolites on PKC activity in RC and GC cells. Inhibition of PLD with wortmannin or EDS caused a dose-dependent inhibition of basal [3H]-thymidine incorporation by RC cells and further increased the inhibitory effect of 24R,25-(OH)(2)D(3). Wortmannin also inhibited basal alkaline phosphatase activity and [35]-sulfate incorporation and decreased the stimulatory effect of 24R,25-(OH)(2)D(3). This inhibitory effect of wortmannin was not seen in cultures treated with the PI-3-kinase inhibitor LY294002, verifying that wortmannin affected PLD. Wortmannin also inhibited basal PKC activity and partially blocked the stimulatory effect of 24R,25-(OH)(2)D(3) on this enzyme activity. Neither inhibition of PI-PLC with U73122, nor PC-PLC with D609, modulated PKC activity. Wortmannin had no effect on basal PLD in GC cells, nor on 1alpha,25-(OH)(2)D(3)-dependent PKC. Inhibition of PI-PLC blocked the 1alpha,25-(OH)(2)D(3)-dependent increase in PKC activity but inhibition of PC-PLC had no effect. Activation of PLA(2) with melittin inhibited basal and 24R,25-(OH)(2)D(3)-stimulated PKC in RC cells and stimulated basal and 1alpha,25-(OH)(2)D(3)-stimulated PKC in GC cells, but wortmannin had no effect on the melittin-induced changes in either cell type. Pertussis toxin modestly increased the effect of 24R,25-(OH)(2)D(3) on PKC, whereas GDPbetaS had no effect, suggesting that PLD2 is the isoform responsible. This indicates that 1alpha,25-(OH)(2)D(3) regulates PKC in GC cells via PI-PLC and PLA(2), but not PC-PLC or PLD, whereas 24R,25-(OH)(2)D(3) regulates PKC in RC cells via PLD2.
