Endothelin 1

Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is known to induce the contraction and proliferation of glomerular mesangial cells. Because ET-1 was found to stimulate the tyrosine phosphorylation of unidentified cellular proteins in cultured mesangial cells, protein tyrosine kinase might serve as one of the important signals leading to various functions of ET-1. Focal adhesion kinase (p125FAK) is a newly identified cytoplasmic protein tyrosine kinase that is activated by the phosphorylation of its own tyrosine residue. Because p125FAK was found to play a role in the signal transduction of not only integrins but also various neurotransmitters, including bombesin, endothelin, and vasopressin in Swiss 3T3 cells and Rat-1 fibroblasts, whether ET-1 could stimulate the tyrosine phosphorylation of p125FAK in glomerular mesangial cells was examined. ET-1 stimulated the tyrosine phosphorylation of p125FAK by threefold to fourfold in cultured mesangial cells. This effect of ET-1 was detected at 1 min and reached a maximum within 5 min and was blocked by BQ-123, an antagonist for ETA receptor. A23187, a calcium ionophore, failed to stimulate the tyrosine phosphorylation of p125FAK, and ET-1 was able to stimulate the tyrosine phosphorylation of p125FAK, even in a calcium-free medium. The activation of protein kinase C (PKC) by phorbol 12, 13-dibutyrate resulted in a stimulation of the tyrosine phosphorylation of p125FAK, and an inhibition of PKC by calphostin C or staurosporine significantly reduced the effect of ET-1. Furthermore, prolonged treatment of the cells with phorbol 12, 13-dibutyrate markedly inhibited the ET-1-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of p125FAK. These results indicate that p125FAK might play a role in a signal transduction system of ET-1 in glomerular mesangial cells and that the ET-1-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of p125FAK is largely dependent on the PKC pathway.

Our previous study observed that circular RNA protein tyrosine kinase 2 (circ-PTK2) was upregulated and correlated with worse clinical features and unfavorable prognosis in multiple myeloma (MM) patients. Thus, this study aimed to further characterize the regulatory function of circ-PTK2 on cell malignant activities and its target microRNA-638 (miR-638) as well as downstream MEK/ERK, WNT/β-catenin signaling pathways in MM. The effect of circ-PTK2 on MM cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration, invasion and its potential target miRNAs was assessed by transfecting circ-PTK2 overexpression plasmids into U226 cells and circ-PTK2 knock-down plasmids into LP-1 cells. Furthermore, the interaction between circ-PTK2 and miR-638 mediated MEK/ERK and WNT/β-catenin signaling pathways was validated by rescue experiments. Circ-PTK2 was overexpressed in most MM cell lines compared to normal plasma cells. Overexpressing circ-PTK2 promoted proliferation and migration, inhibited apoptosis in U266 cells, but did not affect cell invasion; knocking down circ-PTK2 achieved opposite effect in LP-1 cells. Besides, circ-PTK2 reversely regulated miR-638 expression but not miR-4690, miR-6724, miR-6749 or miR-6775. The following luciferase reporter assay illustrated the direct bind of circ-PTK2 towards miR-638. In rescue experiments, overexpressing miR-638 suppressed proliferation, migration, while promoted apoptosis in both wild U266 cells and circ-PTK2-overexpressed U266 cells; meanwhile, overexpressing miR-638 also suppressed MEK/ERK and WNT/β-catenin pathways in both wild U266 cells and circ-PTK2-overexpressed U266 cells. Knocking down miR-638 achieved opposite effect in both wild LP-1 cells and circ-PTK2-knocked-down LP-1 cells. In conclusion, circ-PTK2 promotes cell proliferation, migration, suppresses cell apoptosis via miR-638 mediated MEK&ERK and WNT&β-catenin signaling pathways in MM.
