Triggering of the Fc gamma RIII (CD16) on natural killer (NK) cells by monoclonal antibodies or antibody-coated target cells stimulates a rapid phospholipase C (PLC)-mediated hydrolysis of inositol phospholipids and results in subsequent delivery of the lytic hit. The role of initial tyrosine phosphorylation in these events was investigated with a tyrosine protein kinase (TPK) inhibitor, genistein. At doses that inhibited CD16-triggered tyrosine phosphorylation of substrates in intact cells, genistein did not influence serine/threonine phosphorylation or target cell binding but prevented PLC activation, cell-mediated cytotoxicity and antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity. These findings indicate that tyrosine phosphorylation is an early and critical event during receptor-mediated activation of the lytic machinery.

The expression of the proto-oncogenes c-fos, c-jun, jun B and jun D was monitored in quiescent C3H10T1/2 fibroblasts after stimulation with PDGF. The mRNA level of c-fos, c-jun and jun B, but not of jun D, was stimulated by PDGF. The inductions were abolished when genistein, a specific tyrosine protein kinase inhibitor, was added concomitantly with PDGF, a condition in which DNA synthesis is known to be inhibited. As already shown previously, treatment with PDGF and genistein for 4h followed by the replacement with fresh medium induces the progression of the cells through the G1 phase of their growth-division cycle, without phospholipase C activation. The removal of PDGF and genistein was accompanied by an important increase in c-fos, c-jun and jun B mRNA expression, which correlated with the entrance of cells into G1 phase. Thus, the proto-oncogene expressions induced by PDGF are also obtained in the absence of phospholipase C activation. This result also suggests that the mRNA levels of c-jun, jun B and to a lesser degree c-fos are positively regulated by tyrosine protein kinase activity, whereas jun D is negatively regulated.

Triggering of the antigen-specific T cell receptor-CD3 complex (TCR-CD3) stimulates a rapid phospholipase C-mediated hydrolysis of inositol phospholipids, resulting in the production of second messengers and in T cell activation and proliferation. The role of tyrosine phosphorylation in these events was investigated with a tyrosine protein kinase (TPK) inhibitor, genistein. At doses that inhibited TPK activity and tyrosine phosphorylation of the TCR zeta subunit, but not phospholipase C activity, genistein prevented TCR-CD3-mediated phospholipase C activation, interleukin-2 receptor expression, and T cell proliferation. These findings indicate that tyrosine phosphorylation is an early and critical event that most likely precedes, and is a prerequisite for, inositol phospholipid breakdown during receptor-mediated T cell activation.

Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) induction of DNA synthesis is believed to involve activation of phospholipase C (PLC) and subsequent accumulation of inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate [I(1,4,5)P3], increase in intracellular Ca2+, activation of protein kinase C (PKC), and receptor down regulation. Generation of these events is triggered by the tyrosine protein kinase (TPK) activity of the PDGF receptor. The TPK inhibitor genistein blocked PDGF induction of these events, including DNA synthesis, with the exception of receptor down regulation. PDGF-induced phosphotyrosine phosphorylations, including receptor autophosphorylation, were inhibited by genistein. Removal of genistein and PDGF resulted in DNA synthesis without the occurrence of PLC activation. These findings indicate that these early events, with the exception of receptor down regulation, are not necessary for PDGF-induced DNA synthesis.

We have studied the role of guanine-nucleotide binding regulatory proteins (G proteins) in the stimulation of inositol lipid breakdown during mitogenic activation of normal human T lymphocytes. The effect of the mitogen phytohemagglutinin (PHA) was compared with the action of two G-protein activators, fluoroaluminate (AlF4-) and guanosine-5'-O-thiotriphosphate (GTP gamma S). PHA and AlF4- stimulated the breakdown of inositol lipids via both the phospholipase A and C pathways when added to intact lymphocytes. PHA, AlF4- and GTP gamma S also triggered both these pathways when added to permeable lymphocytes. The magnitude of the response obtained with AlF4- and GTP gamma S was about four-fold less than with PHA. This difference was attributable to increases in cAMP elicited by AlF4- and GTP gamma S which inhibited the phospholipase pathways. AlF4-, GTP gamma S, and PHA all stimulated the phosphorylation of a 42 kDa protein on tyrosine residues. We propose a model for the early steps following mitogen binding, including sequential activation of a G protein, phospholipase C, protein kinase C and a tyrosine protein kinase. A parallel pathway involving G protein mediated activation of phospholipase A is also implicated.

We have examined in the human T-cell line Jurkat the interaction between the activation through the T-cell receptor/CD3 complex and the adenylate cyclase pathway. OKT3, an anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody, did not activate by itself adenylate cyclase but produced a 3-7-fold increase of the cAMP accumulation induced by indirect (chloroadenosine, PGE2) or direct (forskolin) agonists of adenylate cyclase. A more detailed study with forskolin showed that OKT3 enhanced the effect of low concentrations of the agonist without affecting the maximal capacity of cAMP synthesis of the cells. The same concentrations of OKT3 produced both the enhancement of the adenylate cyclase pathway and the activation of phospholipase C. The enhancement by OKT3 of the adenylate cyclase pathway was inhibited by 0.5 microM staurosporine, a potent inhibitor of protein kinases, including tyrosine kinases and protein kinase C, whereas it was not inhibited by H7, a specific inhibitor of PKC. Staurosporine, at the same concentration, also inhibited the OKT3-induced activation of phospholipase C, a tyrosine kinase-dependent process. Taken together, these data indicate that activation of T-cell through the T-cell receptor enhances the adenylate cyclase pathway by a tyrosine protein kinase-dependent mechanism.

Activation of the nociceptin receptor stably expressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells induced a transient mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation, via pertussis toxin-sensitive G-proteins. The nociceptin receptor-mediated MAPK activation was partially blocked by down-regulation or inhibition of protein kinase C, and suppressed by pretreatment with a phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase C inhibitor, D609. Furthermore, a tyrosine protein kinase inhibitor, genistein, and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitors, wortmannin and LY294002, affected the nociceptin-induced MAPK activity. The nociceptin-induced MAPK activation may lead to activation of phospholipase A2 and induce changes in gene expression.

The biological significance of phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase C (PC-PLC) in hepatocarcinogenesis and the proliferation and differentiation of rat liver cancer cells was investigated. The Ca2+-dependent activities of PC-PLC gradually increased during N-nitrosodiethylamine (DEN)-induced hepatocarcinogenesis and peaked at weeks 18-20 when the tumour formed. There was a close relationship between Ca2+-dependent PC-PLC activities and cellular DNA content, membranous gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase (gamma-GT), and tyrosine protein kinase. In contrast, Ca2+-independent PC-PLC activities decreased during hepatocarcinogenesis. Similarly, when CBRH-7919 rat liver cancer cells were treated with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, a proliferation stimulator of the cells, gamma-GT and Ca2+-dependent activities of PC-PLC and the expression of alpha-fetoprotein increased significantly. However, when these cells were induced by retinoic acid to differentiate, Ca2+-dependent PC-PLC and gamma-GT activities decreased significantly, together with alpha-fetoprotein expression. There was a close relationship between Ca2+-dependent PC-PLC and gamma-GT activities during differentiation as there was during proliferation. We suppose that Ca2+-dependent PC-PLC is involved in rat hepatocarcinogenesis induced by DEN and that it plays an important role in the phorbol ester-induced proliferation or retinoic acid-induced differentiation of liver cancer cells.

Mechanical stimuli influence chondrocyte metabolism, inducing changes in intracellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate and proteoglycan production. We have previously demonstrated that primary monolayer cultures of human chondrocytes have an electrophysiological response after intermittent pressure-induced strain characterised by a membrane hyperpolarisation of approximately 40%. The mechanisms responsible for these changes are not fully understood but potentially involve signalling molecules such as integrins that link extracellular matrix with cytoplasmic components. The results reported in this paper demonstrate that the transduction pathways involved in the hyperpolarisation response of human articular chondrocytes in vitro after cyclical pressure-induced strain involve alpha 5 beta 1 integrin. We have demonstrated, using pharmacological inhibitors of a variety of intracellular signalling pathways, that the actin cytoskeleton, the phospholipase C calmodulin pathway, and both tyrosine protein kinase and protein kinase C activities are important in the transduction of the electrophysiological response. These results suggest that alpha 5 beta 1 is an important chondrocyte mechanoreceptor and a potential regulator of chondrocyte function.

Angiotensin II (AngII) is coupled to several important intracellular signaling pathways, and increases intracellular Ca2+. In vascular smooth muscle (VSM) cells, AngII is known to activate enzymes such as tyrosine protein kinase (Tyr-PK), phospholipase C (PLC), protein kinase C (PKC), and phophatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI-3-K). A non-receptor Tyr-PK, pp60(c-src), and PKC have been reported to stimulate the Ca2+ channels in VSM cells. However, less is known about AngII action on the voltage-gated Ca2+ channels. The Ca2+-channel currents of a cultured rat aortic smooth muscle cell line, A7r5, were recorded using whole-cell voltage clamp. Application of 50 nM AngII significantly increased the amplitude of Ba2+ currents through the voltage-gated Ca2+ channels (IBa) by 34. 5+/-9.1% (n=10) within 1 min. In the presence of lavendustin-A (5 microM), a selective inhibitor of Tyr-PK, AngII failed to stimulate IBa (n=5). AngII stimulation of IBa was also prevented by (5 microM) LY-294002, an inhibitor of PI-3-K (n=5). In contrast, H-7 (30 microM), an inhibitor of PKC, did not prevent the effect of AngII on IBa (n=6). These results suggest that AngII may stimulate the Ca2+ channels of VSM cells through Tyr-PK and PI-3-K under conditions that probably exclude participation of PK-C.
