G Protein Coupled

G protein-coupled receptor kinase 4 (GRK4) is a member of the GRK family which play critical role in regulation of the function of G protein-coupled receptors. Our previous studies have shown that GRK4 not only plays a role in regulating sodium excretion in renal proximal tubule cells but also acts as a stimulator on proliferation of breast cancer cells. Uncontrolled proliferation is a characteristics of cancer cells and GRK4 is upregulated in breast cancer cells. We hypothesized that expression of GRK4 may be regulated differently in cancer and non-cancer cells. To test this hypothesis, expression of GRK4 in response to serum was compared in breast cancer cells and renal proximal tubule cells by Western analysis. In three breast cancer cell lines serum withdrawal caused rapid reduction in the levels of GRK4 which occurred as early as 15 min. GRK4 levels correlated with the concentrations of serum added to the culture media. To determine if growth factors were a critical element for maintaining GRK4 levels in the cells, EGF (10-20 ng/ml) was added to serum free medium for 24 h. There was no increase in GRK4 levels in the cells treated with EGF compared with the serum starvation control. Similarly, serum withdrawal (16 h) led to 40-80% decrease of GRK4 levels in renal proximal tubule cells even in the presence of EFG supplement. Serum feeding for 30 min after starvation dramatically increased the levels of GRK4 in both breast cancer cells and RPTC which exceeded the steady state levels. This rapid recovery of GRK4 protein do not need de novo protein synthesis because pretreatment of the cells with protein synthesis inhibitor, cycloheximide (10 μg/ml, 24 h), did not prevent this event. Expression of GRK2, another member of the GRK family, was not affected by serum starvation. Our results have shown that GRK4 is very sensitive to serum concentration in breast cancer cells as well as in RPTC. Preliminary studies suggest that rapid protein degradation rather than shutting down the protein synthesis plays a major role in this kind of GRK4 regulation. The biological significance of serum regulation of GRK4 in cancer and non-cancerous cells needs further investigation.
