M3 Receptor

The acetylcholine analogue carbachol rapidly activated mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), and caused tyrosine phosphorylation of the adapter protein p52 Shc and the epidermalgrowth factor (EGF) receptor, in human embryonic kidney cells stably expressing m3 muscarinic receptors. The protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor GF109203X caused a significant partial inhibition of m3 receptor-mediated activation of MAPK. The PKC-independent MAPK activity elicited by carbachol in the presence of GF109203X was reproducibly abolished by AG1478, an inhibitor of EGF-receptor tyrosine kinase activity, and by the Src tyrosine kinase inhibitor PP1. In a subset of these experiments, GF109203X concomitantly increased carbachol-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of p52 Shc and the EGF receptor. In co-stimulation experiments, carbachol and EGF activated MAPK in a non-additive fashion; moreover, EGF-induced association of Shc with the phosphorylated EGF receptor was inhibited by carbachol. This effect of carbachol was blocked by GF109203X. The results indicate that MAPK activation by m3 receptor stimulation is regulated by two pathways; one dependent on PKC, and the other mediated via the EGF receptor and Src. Moreover, the EGF-receptor-dependent pathway may be subject to negative-feedback regulation via m3 receptor-coupled activation of PKC.

The existence and activation of mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase in isolated pancreatic acini have been demonstrated. Immunoblotting and immunoprecipitation revealed two forms of MAP kinase in pancreatic acini, with relative molecular masses of approximately 42 and 44 kDa. Both forms of MAP kinase were activated by cholecystokinin (CCK). The threshold concentration of CCK was approximately 3 pM, and the maximal effect occurred at 1 nM, which enhanced MAP kinase activity by 2.5-fold, as determined in polyacrylamide gel copolymerized with substrate myelin basic protein. Activation of MAP kinase by CCK was rapid, reaching a maximum within 5-10 min that subsequently declined. Bombesin and carbachol but not secretin or vasoactive intestinal peptide also activated MAP kinase. CCK-induced activation of MAP kinase may be mediated by protein kinase C, since 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) mimicked the effect of CCK and staurosporine concentration dependently inhibited the action of CCK. Treatment of acini with thapsigargin, ionomycin, or ethylene glycol-bis(beta-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid did not influence MAP kinase, indicating that mobilization of intracellular calcium by CCK is not important in activation of acinar MAP kinase. CCK and TPA increased tyrosine phosphorylation of both 42- and 44-kDa forms. Genistein and tyrphostin 23, the inhibitors of tyrosine kinase, suppressed the activation of MAP kinase by CCK. In conclusion, MAP kinase in pancreatic acini is activated by agonists related to hydrolysis of phosphoinositide, via a mechanism involving protein kinase C and tyrosine kinase.

Physiological concentrations of growth hormone induced a rapid and transient activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAP kinase) and S6 kinase in 3T3-F442A preadipocytes. These effects were abrogated by staurosporine and in cells chronically pretreated with phorbol esters, suggesting that protein kinase C is involved in the mechanism of activation. In addition, three cytosolic proteins exhibited a growth-hormone-dependent increase in tyrosine phosphorylation.

The proliferative effects of gastrin on normal and neoplastic gastro-intestinal tissues have been shown to be mediated by the gastrin/CCKB (G/CCKB) G-protein-coupled receptors. We have recently reported that gastrin stimulates the tyrosine phosphorylation of Shc proteins and their subsequent association with the Grb2/Sos complex, leading to mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation, a pathway known to play an important role in cell proliferation. We undertook the present study to characterize the signalling pathways used by this receptor to mediate the activation of the Shc/Grb2 complex. Since G/CCKB receptor occupancy leads to the activation of the phospholipase C (PLC)/protein kinase C (PKC) pathway, we examined whether PKC stimulation and Ca2+ mobilization contribute to the phosphorylation of Shc proteins and their association with Grb2 in response to gastrin. Our results indicate that Shc proteins are tyrosine phosphorylated and associate with Grb2 in response to phorbol esters, suggesting that activation of PKC is a potential signalling pathway leading to activation of the Shc/Grb2 complex. Inhibition of PKC by GF109203X completely blocked the effect of PMA on Shc tyrosine phosphorylation and its subsequent association with Grb2, but had a partial inhibitory effect on the response to gastrin. Depletion of the intracellular Ca2+ pools by treatment with thapsigargin blocked the increase in intracellular free calcium concentration induced by gastrin and diminished the ability of the peptide to stimulate Shc phosphorylation and recruitment of Grb2. In addition, removal of extracellular Ca2+ partially inhibited the effect of gastrin on Shc phosphorylation as well as its association with Grb2, indicating that the effects of gastrin are also mediated by Ca2+-dependent mechanisms. Furthermore, we show that blockage of the two major early signals generated by activation of PLC, which induced the activation of the Shc/Grb2 complex, also blocked gastrin-induced MAPK activation.

ABSTRACT The signaling routes linking G-protein-coupled receptors to mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) may involve tyrosine kinases, phosphoinositide 3-kinase γ (PI3Kγ), and protein kinase C (PKC). To characterize the mitogenic pathway of bradykinin (BK), COS-7 cells were transiently cotransfected with the human bradykinin B2receptor and hemagglutinin-tagged MAPK. We demonstrate that BK-induced activation of MAPK is mediated via the α subunits of a Gq/11 protein. Both activation of Raf-1 and activation of MAPK in response to BK were blocked by inhibitors of PKC as well as of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor. Furthermore, in PKC-depleted COS-7 cells, the effect of BK on MAPK was clearly reduced. Inhibition of PI3-Kγ or Src kinase failed to diminish MAPK activation by BK. BK-induced translocation and overexpression of PKC isoforms as well as coexpression of inactive or constitutively active mutants of different PKC isozymes provided evidence for a role of the diacylglycerol-sensitive PKCs α and ɛ in BK signaling toward MAPK. In addition to PKC activation, BK also induced tyrosine phosphorylation of EGF receptor (transactivation) in COS-7 cells. Inhibition of PKC did not alter BK-induced transactivation, and blockade of EGF receptor did not affect BK-stimulated phosphatidylinositol turnover or BK-induced PKC translocation, suggesting that PKC acts neither upstream nor downstream of the EGF receptor. Comparison of the kinetics of PKC activation and EGF receptor transactivation in response to BK also suggests simultaneous rather than consecutive signaling. We conclude that in COS-7 cells, BK activates MAPK via a permanent dual signaling pathway involving the independent activation of the PKC isoforms α and ɛ and transactivation of the EGF receptor. The two branches of this pathway may converge at the level of the Ras-Raf complex.
