The regulation of bombesin-stimulated phospholipase D (PLD) activity in Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts was examined. Increasing protein-tyrosine phosphorylation by using pervanadate to inhibit tyrosine phosphatases was found to stimulate protein kinase C (PKC)-independent [3H]phosphatidylbutanol ([3H]PtdBut) accumulation within 5 min, which continued to increase up to 30 min. The stimulation of PLD activity in response to submaximal [bombesin] could be decreased by approx. 50% by the tyrosine kinase inhibitor genistein, whereas pretreatment with genistein and the PKC inhibitor Ro-31-8220 completely abolished the generation of [3H]PtdBut in response to a maximal concentration of bombesin. The addition of guanosine 5′-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP[S]) into permeabilized cells resulted in an increase in [3H]PtdBut, which was abolished by depletion of cellular ATP. The additional presence of 30 microM GTP[S] did not increase the stimulation of PLD activity by any [bombesin] tested, whereas it was synergistic with that stimulated in response to phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate. These findings suggest that bombesin-stimulated PLD activity is indirectly regulated by G-proteins, possibly through a kinase intermediate. Furthermore, activation of protein tyrosine kinases is proposed to account for the PKC-independent arm of bombesin-stimulated PLD activity. No evidence was obtained for a form of PLD directly regulated by tyrosine phosphorylation.

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 (p125FAK), 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 p125FAK 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 p125FAK 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 p125FAK. 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 p125FAK and paxillin and cell growth.

Serum albumin secretion from rat hepatocytes proceeds via the constitutive pathway. Although much is known about the role of protein tyrosine phosphorylation in regulated secretion, nothing is known about its function in the constitutive process. Here we show that albumin secretion is inhibited by the tyrosine kinase inhibitor genistein but relatively insensitive to subtype-selective inhibitors or treatments. Secretion is also blocked in a physiologically identical manner by the tyrosine phosphatase inhibitors pervanadate and bisperoxo(1,10-phenanthroline)-oxovanadate. Inhibition of either the kinase(s) or phosphatase(s) leads to the accumulation of albumin between the trans-Golgi and the plasma membrane, whereas the immediate precursor proalbumin builds up in a proximal compartment. The trans-Golgi marker TGN38 is rapidly dispersed under conditions that inhibit tyrosine phosphatase action, whereas the distribution of the cis-Golgi marker GM130 is insensitive to genistein or pervanadate. By using a specifically reactive biotinylation probe, we detected protein tyrosine phosphatases in highly purified rat liver Golgi membranes. These membranes also contain both endogenous tyrosine kinases and their substrates, indicating that enzymes and substrates for reversible tyrosine phosphorylation are normal membrane-resident components of this trafficking compartment. In the absence of perturbation of actin filaments and microtubules, we conclude that reversible protein tyrosine phosphorylation in the trans-Golgi network is essential for albumin secretion and propose that the constitutive secretion of albumin is in fact a regulated process.

Glutamate triggers neuronal degeneration after ischemia-reperfusion in the brain. However, the details of intracellular signal transduction that propagates cell death remain unknown. The present work investigated whether protein tyrosine phosphorylation mediates neuronal death in the ischemic brain. Transient forebrain ischemia for 5-10 min in Mongolian gerbils or intoxication with the glutamate analogue kainic acid (12 mg/kg) in Sprague-Dawley rats caused neuronal death selectively in the hippocampus 2-4 days or 1 day later, respectively. Under these conditions, 160-, 115-, 105-, 92-, and 85-kDa proteins showed a significant increase in tyrosyl residue phosphorylation selectively in the hippocampus 3-12 h after ischemia or 4-8 h after kainic acid-induced seizures. Tyrosine kinases, including pp60c-src, were activated without a change of tyrosine phosphatases. Administration of radicicol, a selective inhibitor of tyrosine kinases, attenuated stimulation of tyrosine phosphorylation and hippocampal degeneration after ischemia or kainic acid injection. The results suggest that protein tyrosine phosphorylation might propagate delayed neuronal death in the mature hippocampus through glutamate overload after ischemia-reperfusion.

We examined the effect of sphingomyelinase on tyrosine phosphorylation of intracellular proteins in mouse Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts. Incubation of the cells with bacterial sphingomyelinase resulted in the elevation of tyrosine phosphorylation of multiple cellular proteins of 190, 130, 120, 97 and 70 kDa within minutes. The 120 and 70 kDa tyrosine-phosphorylated peptides were identified as p125 focal adhesion kinase (p125FAK) and paxillin respectively by the use of specific antibodies against the proteins. Tyrosine kinase activity associated with anti-p125FAK immunoprecipitate was stimulated by incubation of cells with sphingomyelinase. Cytochalasin D, which selectively disrupts the network of actin filaments, inhibited sphingomyelinase-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of p125FAK and elevation of tyrosine kinase activity in the anti-p125FAK immunoprecipitates. Sphingomyelinase-induced phosphorylation of p125FAK was not inhibited by wortmannin, an inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase. This was in sharp contrast with a wortmannin-sensitive phosphorylation of p125FAK observed in platelet-derived growth factor (PGDF)-stimulated cells. Thus hydrolysis of sphingomyelin is considered to regulate the tyrosine kinase cascade including p125FAK and paxillin by a mechanism distinct from PDGF.

Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) stimulated sn-1,2-diacylglycerol (DAG) mass formation in Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts with a lag time of some 30 s. The response was biphasic, with the second phase being sustained over time. PDGF also stimulated the formation of Ins(1,4,5)P3 with a similar lag time to the DAG response, suggesting that DAG is derived from PtdIns(4,5)P2 hydrolysis at this time point. PDGF-stimulated phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho) hydrolysis in Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts, as measured by the formation of water-soluble choline metabolites and phosphatidylbutanol (PtdBut) accumulation, was by a phospholipase D (PLD)-catalysed pathway which was kinetically downstream of initial PtdIns(4,5)P2 hydrolysis. Accumulation of PtdBut increased up to 15 min, suggesting that PLD activity is not rapidly densitized in response to PDGF. The kinetics of PtdCho hydrolysis closely paralleled the second phase of DAG formation, strongly suggesting that during prolonged stimulation periods PtdCho is a major source of DAG in these cells. However, since PtdIns(4,5)P2 breakdown was also prolonged, PDGF-stimulated DAG may be derived from both phospholipids. Down-regulation of protein kinase C (PKC), by pre-treatment with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, abolished both [3H]choline and [3H]PtdBut formation, suggesting that PLD-catalysed PtdCho hydrolysis may be dependent on PKC activation, supporting its dependence on prior PtdIns(4,5)P2 hydrolysis.
