Despite extensive analysis of phosphoinositide 3-hydroxykinases (PI 3-kinases) at the molecular level, comparatively little is known about the mechanisms by which products of these enzymes exert their expected second-messenger functions. This study examines the metabolism of D-3 phosphoinositides in mouse Ph-N2 fibroblasts lacking the platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) α-receptor. Treatment of these cultures with BB PDGF, but not AA PDGF, resulted in transient activation of PI 3-kinase activity measured in vitro. Treatment of myo-[3H]inositol-labelled Ph-N2 cells with BB PDGF resulted in the rapid induction of PtdIns(3,4)P2 and PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 and, to a smaller extent, PtdIns3P. The appearance of PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 preceded that of PtdIns(3,4)P2 and PtdIns3P after the addition of PDGF, suggesting that PtdIns(4,5)P2 is the preferred substrate of the agonist-stimulated PI 3-kinase in intact cells. Treatment of both resting and PDGF-stimulated cells with the fungal metabolite wortmannin resulted in pronounced, selective effects on the levels of all D-3 phosphoinositides. Kinetic studies with this PI 3-kinase inhibitor revealed the presence of at least two independent routes for the biosynthesis of D-3 phosphoinositides in PDGF-treated cells.

3T3 L1-cells, which undergo adipose conversion in vitro, possess a stimulus-sensitive H2O2-generating system in their plasma membrane, and its properties are virtually identical with those of the insulin-sensitive human fat-cell oxidase [Krieger-Brauer and Kather (1992) J. Clin. Invest. 89, 1006-1013]. Insulin and insulin-like growth factor I were found to be active stimulators of NADPH-dependent H2O2 generation. Surprisingly, the acidic (a) and basic (b) isoforms of fibroblast growth factor (FGF) as well as the AA and BB homodimers of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) had antagonistic effects on NADPH-dependent H2O2 generation in plasma membranes which were parallelled by corresponding changes in H2O2 accumulation in intact cells. bFGF and PDGF BB (which inhibit NADPH-dependent H2O2 generation) prevented the adipose conversion of 3T3 L1-preadipocytes, and this effect could be reversed by exogenously supplied H2O2. Conversely, aFGF and PDGF AA, which stimulated H2O2 generation, accelerated adipocyte conversion in the presence of insulin and were adipogenic in themselves. Consistently, expression of the adipocyte phenotype induced by insulin, dexamethasone and isobutylmethylxanthine was enhanced in the presence of exogenous hypoxanthine/xanthine oxidase, whereas antioxidants, such as N-acetylcysteine or ascorbate, suppressed the process of differentiation. It is concluded that the H2O2 produced in response to hormones and cytokines may contribute to the development and maintenance of the differentiated state.

Igf I

Abstract GH and IGF-I are critical regulators of growth and metabolism. GH interacts with the GH receptor (GHR), a cytokine superfamily receptor, to activate the cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase, Janus kinase 2 (JAK2), and initiate intracellular signaling cascades. IGF-I, produced in part in response to GH, binds to the heterotetrameric IGF-I receptor (IGF-IR), which is an intrinsic tyrosine kinase growth factor receptor that triggers proliferation, antiapoptosis, and other biological actions. Previous in vitro and overexpression studies have suggested that JAKs may interact with IGF-IR and that IGF-I stimulation may activate JAKs. In this study, we explore interactions between GHR-JAK2 and IGF-IR signaling pathway elements utilizing the GH and IGF-I-responsive 3T3-F442A and 3T3-L1 preadipocyte cell lines, which endogenously express both the GHR and IGF-IR. We find that GH induces formation of a complex that includes GHR, JAK2, and IGF-IR in these preadipocytes. The assembly of this complex in intact cells is rapid, GH concentration dependent, and can be prevented by a GH antagonist, G120K. However, it is not inhibited by the kinase inhibitor, staurosporine, which markedly inhibits GHR tyrosine phosphorylation. Moreover, complex formation does not appear dependent on GH-induced activation of the ERK or phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase signaling pathways or on the tyrosine phosphorylation of GHR, JAK2, or IGF-IR. These results suggest that GH-induced formation of the GHR-JAK2-IGF-IR complex is governed instead by GH-dependent conformational change(s) in the GHR and/or JAK2. We further demonstrate that GH and IGF-I can synergize in acute aspects of signaling and that IGF-I enhances GH-induced assembly of conformationally active GHRs. These findings suggest the existence of previously unappreciated relationships between these two hormones.

AbstractEndothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) play a fundamental role in neoangiogenesis and tumor angiogenesis. Through the sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 3 (S1PR3), sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) can stimulate the functional capacity of EPCs. Platelet-derived growth factor receptor-beta (PDGFR-β) contributes to the migration and angiogenesis of EPCs. This study aimed to investigate whether S1P induces the migration and angiogenesis of EPCs through the S1PR3/PDGFR-β/Akt signaling pathway. We used the Transwell system and the Chemicon In Vitro Angiogenesis Assay Kit with CAY10444 (an S1PR3 antagonist), AG1295 (a PDGFR kinase inhibitor) and sc-221226 (an Akt inhibitor) to examine the role of the S1PR3/PDGFR-β/Akt pathway in the S1Pinduced migration and angiogenesis of EPCs.

PURPOSE: Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is caused by activation of the platelet-derived growth factor B (PDGFB) receptor, a transmembrane tyrosine kinase. We investigated the response of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans to the tyrosine kinase inhibitor imatinib mesylate. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A patient with unresectable, metastatic dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans received imatinib mesylate (400 mg bid). Response to therapy was assessed by [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and histopathologic and immunohistochemical evaluation. RESULTS: The patient was treated for 4 months with imatinib mesylate. The hypermetabolic uptake of FDG fell to background levels within 2 weeks of treatment, and the tumor volume shrank by over 75% during the 4 months of therapy, allowing for resection of the mass. There was no residual viable tumor in the resected specimen, indicating a complete histologic response to treatment with imatinib mesylate. CONCLUSION: Imatinib mesylate is highly active in dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans. The dramatic response seen in this patient demonstrates that inhibition of PDGFB receptor tyrosine kinase activity can significantly impact viability of at least one type of solid tumor.

Abstract Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-B and PDGF β-receptor (PDGFRβ) deficiency in mice is embryonic lethal and results in cardiovascular, renal, placental, and hematologic disorders. The hematologic disorders are described, and a correlation with hepatic hypocellularity is demonstrated. To explore possible causes, the colony-forming activity of fetal liver cells in vitro was assessed, and hematopoietic chimeras were demonstrated by the transplantation of mutant fetal liver cells into lethally irradiated recipients. It was found that mutant colony formation is equivalent to that of wild-type controls. Hematopoietic chimeras reconstituted with PDGF-B−/−, PDGFRβ−/−, or wild-type fetal liver cells show complete engraftment (greater than 98%) with donor granulocytes, monocytes, B cells, and T cells and display none of the cardiovascular or hematologic abnormalities seen in mutants. In mouse embryos, PDGF-B is expressed by vascular endothelial cells and megakaryocytes. After birth, expression is seen in macrophages and neurons. This study demonstrates that hematopoietic PDGF-B or PDGFRβ expression is not required for hematopoiesis or integrity of the cardiovascular system. It is argued that metabolic stress arising from mutant defects in the placenta, heart, or blood vessels may lead to impaired liver growth and decreased production of blood cells. The chimera models in this study will serve as valuable tools to test the role of PDGF in inflammatory and immune responses.
