Abstract
A rapid increase in the tyrosine phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) has been extensively documented in cells stimulated by multiple signaling molecules, but virtually nothing is known about the regulation of FAK phosphorylation at serine residues. Stimulation of Swiss 3T3 cells with bombesin promoted a striking increase ( approximately 13-fold) in the phosphorylation of FAK at Ser-910, as revealed by site-specific antibodies that recognized the phosphorylated state of this residue. Lysophosphatidic acid and epidermal growth factor (EGF) also stimulated FAK phosphorylation at Ser-910. Direct activation of protein kinase C isoforms with phorbol-12,13-dibutyrate (PDB) also promoted striking phosphorylation of FAK at Ser-910. Treatment with the protein kinase C inhibitor GF I or Ro 31-8220 or chronic exposure to PDB prevented the increase in FAK phosphorylation at Ser-910 induced by bombesin or PDB but not by EGF. Treatment with the ERK inhibitors U0126 and PD98059 prevented FAK phosphorylation at Ser-910 in response to all of the stimuli tested. Furthermore, incubation of activated ERK2 with FAK immunocomplexes leads to FAK phosphorylation at Ser-910 in vitro. Our results demonstrate, for the first time, that stimulation with bombesin, lysophosphatidic acid, PDB, or EGF induces phosphorylation of endogenous FAK at Ser-910 via an ERK-dependent pathway in Swiss 3T3 cells.

Abstract
RhoE belongs to the Rho GTPase family, the members of which control actin cytoskeletal dynamics. RhoE induces stress fiber disassembly in a variety of cell types, whereas RhoA stimulates stress fiber assembly. The similarity of RhoE and RhoA sequences suggested that RhoE might compete with RhoA for interaction with its targets. Here, we show that RhoE binds ROCK I but none of the other RhoA targets tested. The interaction of RhoE with ROCK I was confirmed by coimmunoprecipitation of the endogenous proteins, and the two proteins colocalized on the trans-Golgi network in COS-7 cells. Although RhoE and RhoA were not able to bind ROCK I simultaneously, RhoE bound to the amino-terminal region of ROCK I encompassing the kinase domain, at a site distant from the carboxy-terminal RhoA-binding site. Overexpression of RhoE inhibited ROCK I-induced stress fiber formation and phosphorylation of the ROCK I target myosin light chain phosphatase. These data suggest that RhoE induces stress fiber disassembly by directly binding ROCK I and inhibiting it from phosphorylating downstream targets.

Abstract
Tyrosine phosphorylation of the nonreceptor tyrosine kinase p125 focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and the adapter protein paxillin is rapidly increased by multiple agonists, including bombesin (BOM) and lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), through heptahelical G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). The pathways involved remain incompletely understood. The experiments presented here were designed to test the role of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) transactivation in the rapid increase of tyrosine phosphorylation of FAK and paxillin induced by GPCR agonists. Our results show that treatment with the selective EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor AG 1478, at concentrations that completely blocked the increase in tyrosine phosphorylation of these proteins induced by EGF, did not affect the stimulation of tyrosine phosphorylation of either FAK or paxillin induced by multiple GPCR agonists including LPA, BOM, vasopressin, bradykinin, and endothelin. Similar results were obtained when Swiss 3T3 cells were treated with another highly specific inhibitor of the EGF receptor kinase activity, PD-158780. Collectively, our results clearly dissociate EGFR transactivation from the tyrosine phosphorylation of FAK and paxillin induced by multiple GPCR agonists.

Abstract
The sperm acrosome reaction and penetration of the egg follow zona pellucida binding only if the sperm has previously undergone the poorly understood maturation process known as capacitation. We demonstrate here that in vitro capacitation of bull, ram, mouse, and human sperm was accompanied by a time-dependent increase in actin polymerization. Induction of the acrosome reaction in capacitated cells initiated fast F-actin breakdown. Incubation of sperm in media lacking BSA or methyl-beta-cyclodextrin, Ca(2+), or NaHCO(3), components that are all required for capacitation, prevented actin polymerization as well as capacitation, as assessed by the ability of the cells to undergo the acrosome reaction. Inhibition of F-actin formation by cytochalasin D blocked sperm capacitation and reduced the in vitro fertilization rate of metaphase II-arrested mouse eggs. It has been suggested that protein tyrosine phosphorylation may represent an important regulatory pathway that is associated with sperm capacitation. We show here that factors known to stimulate sperm protein tyrosine phosphorylation (i.e., NaHCO(3), cAMP, epidermal growth factor, H(2)O(2), and sodium vanadate) were able to enhance actin polymerization, whereas inhibition of tyrosine kinases prevented F-actin formation. These data suggest that actin polymerization may represent an important regulatory pathway in with sperm capacitation, whereas F-actin breakdown occurs before the acrosome reaction.

Abstract
Although an elevated level of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) has been observed in a variety of invasive human tumors, forced expression of FAK alone in cultured cells does not cause them to exhibit transformed phenotypes. Therefore, the role of FAK in oncogenic transformation remains unclear. In this study, we have demonstrated that FAK overexpression in Madin-Darby canine kidney epithelial cells rendered them susceptible to transformation by hepatocyte growth factor (HGF). Using various FAK mutants, we found that the simultaneous bindings of Src and p130(cas) were required for FAK to potentiate cell transformation. Expression of FAK-related nonkinase, kinase-deficient Src, or the Src homology 3 domain of p130(cas), which respectively serve as dominant negative versions of FAK, Src, and p130(cas), apparently reversed the transformed phenotypes of FAK-overexpressed cells upon HGF stimulation. Moreover, FAK overexpression was able to enhance HGF-elicited signals, leading to sustained activation of ERK, JNK, and AKT, which could be prevented by the expression of the Src homology 3 domain of p130(cas). Taken together, our results indicate that the synergistic effect of FAK overexpression and HGF stimulation leads to cell transformation and implicate a critical role of p130(cas) in this process.

Abstract
Although hepatic myofibroblast (HMF) migration contributes to the development of fibrosis, the mechanisms coordinating this movement are uncertain. We determined the effects of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF) on actin polymerization, FAK tyrosine phosphorylation, and migration of cultured human HMFs. LPA (0.4-100 microM) stimulated migration, FAK tyrosine phosphorylation, and stress fiber assembly with a sigmoidal dose response. PDGF (1-250 ng/ml) stimulated migration, FAK tyrosine phosphorylation, and actin polymerization with a bell-shape dose-response characterized by a maximum at 10-25 ng/ml. Concentrations of cytochalasin D, which abolished FAK tyrosine phosphorylation, also blocked LPA- and PDGF-induced migration. A dose of 1-10 ng/ml PDGF acted synergistically with LPA (10 microM) to stimulate FAK tyrosine phosphorylation and migration, whereas higher concentrations of PDGF (100-250 ng/ml) inhibited FAK tyrosine phosphorylation and migration in response to LPA (10 microM). These data indicate that PDGF and LPA coordinately govern the migration of HMFs by differentially regulating FAK and suggest a novel model in which PDGF, acting as an amplifier/attenuator of LPA-induced signaling, facilitates HMF accumulation within injured areas of the liver.

Abstract
Previous reports suggest that PKC plays an important role in regulating myogenesis. However, the regulatory signaling pathways are not fully understood. We examined the effects of PKC downregulation on signaling events during skeletal muscle differentiation. We found that downregulation of PKC results in increased myogenesis in C2C12 cells as measured by creatine kinase activity and myogenin expression. We showed that, during differentiation, downregulation of PKC expression results in increased tyrosine phosphorylation of FAK, Cas, and paxillin, concomitant with enhanced Cas-CrkII complex formation, which leads to activation of JNK2. But in proliferated muscle cells, PKC inhibition results in FAK and Cas tyrosine dephosphorylation. Further, disruption of actin cytoskeleton by cytochalasin D prevents the activation of FAK and Cas as well as the formation of Cas-CrkII complex stimulated by PKC downregulation during muscle cell differentiation. Finally, we observed that PKC downregulation increases the tyrosine phosphorylation of focal adhesion associated proteins. Based on the above data, we propose that PKC downregulation results in enhanced tyrosine phosphorylation of FAK, Cas, and paxillin, thus promoting the establishment of Cas-CrkII complex, leading to activation of JNK and that these interactions are dependent upon the integrity of actin cytoskeleton during muscle cell differentiation. Data presented here significantly contribute to elucidating the regulatory role of PKC in myogenesis possibly through integrin signaling pathway.

Abstract
In our laboratory, we are interested in hyperosmolarity-induced apoptosis in neuronal cells. We have shown that high concentrations of glucose or mannitol induce apoptotic cell death in dorsal root ganglia in culture and in SH-SY5Y and SH-EP human neuroblastoma cells. Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is a cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase that has a critical role for transmitting integrin-mediated-signals. In this study, we report that hyperosmolar treatment mediates FAK dephosphorylation and cleavage, which is prevented by insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) treatment. Mannitol treatment of SH-EP cells transfected with vector (SH-EP/pSFFV) results in concentration- and time-dependent dephosphorylation and degradation of FAK. Dephosphorylation and degradation of FAK are tightly correlated with apoptotic morphological changes, including the disruption of actin stress fibers, the loss of focal adhesion sites, membrane blebbing, and cell detachment. Treatment of SH-EP/pSFFV cells with IGF-I or transfection of IGF-I receptor prevents these changes. Treatment of cells with pharmacologic inhibitors of the mitogen-activated protein kinase or phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase pathways does not affect mannitol-induced FAK dephosphorylation and degradation. However, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase is necessary for IGF-I-mediated protection against FAK alteration. Mannitol treatment also results in the degradation of Akt. Mannitol induces the activation of caspases-3 and -9 in a time course similar to the dephosphorylation and degradation of FAK. Treatment of the cells with ZVAD, a general caspase inhibitor, blocks the mannitol-induced FAK and Akt degradation as well as cell detachment and apoptosis. These results suggest that one of the pathways of mannitol-mediated apoptosis is through the degradation of FAK and Akt and that IGF-I protects the cells from apoptosis by blocking the activation of caspases, which may be responsible for the loss of FAK and Akt.

Abstract
The ability of mitogens to rapidly induce tyrosine phosphorylation of cellular proteins has been taken as evidence of participation in subsequent signaling pathways. SSeCKS, a major protein kinase C (PKC) substrate with protein scaffolding and tumor suppressive properties, becomes tyrosine phosphorylated in NIH3T3 and rodent embryo fibroblasts after short-term treatment with epidermal growth factor (EGF), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), or fetal calf serum in the presence of pervanadate, but not by treatment with insulin or insulin-like growth factor-1. The relative phosphotyrosine level on SSeCKS was higher in actively dividing cells than in confluent cultures. Tyrosine phosphorylation of SSeCKS was apparent in cells deficient in Src, Fyn, Yes, or Abl tyrosine kinases or in NIH3T3 cells expressing a temperature-sensitive v-Src allele, but not in FAK-deficient embryo fibroblasts. Purified FAK or Src enzyme failed to directly phosphorylate SSeCKS in vitro. EGF failed to induce SSeCKS tyrosine phosphorylation in FAK-/- fibroblasts, indicating that the EGF receptor is probably not the direct kinase of SSeCKS. Phosphorylation under these conditions was rescued by the transient reexpression of wt-FAK but not FAK mutated at Y397, a major autophosphorylation and SH2-based docking site. Adhesion of FAK+/+ cells to fibronectin failed to significantly induce SSeCKS tyrosine phosphorylation although FAK was activated, suggesting that SSeCKS phosphorylation is mediated through a growth factor receptor-FAK rather than an integrin-FAK pathway. Moreover, PDGF could induce SSeCKS tyrosine phosphorylation in the absence of FAK activation, suggesting a role for FAK SH2-based docking rather than kinase activity. Immunofluorescence analysis showed that in FAK-/- cells, SSeCKS costains along F-actin stress fibers, in contrast to FAK+/+ cells, where most SSeCKS stains at the cell edge and along a cortical cytoskeletal matrix. This correlated with increased coprecipitation of SSeCKS with biotin-phalloidin-bound F-actin from FAK-/- compared to FAK+/+ cell lysates. Similarly, bacterially expressed, unphosphorylated SSeCKS cosedimented with F-actin in ultracentrifugation assays. These data suggest that mitogen-induced, FAK-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation of SSeCKS modulates its binding to the actin-based cytoskeleton, suggesting a role for SSeCKS in mitogen-induced cytoskeletal reorganization.

Abstract
Repair of superficial gastric mucosal injury is accomplished by the process of restitution-migration of epithelial cells to restore continuity of the mucosal surface. Actin filaments, focal adhesions, and focal adhesion kinase (FAK) play crucial roles in cell motility essential for restitution. We studied whether epidermal growth factor (EGF) and/or indomethacin (IND) affect cell migration, actin stress fiber formation, and/or phosphorylation of FAK and tensin in wounded gastric monolayers. Human gastric epithelial monolayers (MKN 28 cells) were wounded and treated with either vehicle or 0.5 mM IND for 16 hr followed by EGF. EGF treatment significantly stimulated cell migration and actin stress fiber formation, and increased FAK localization to focal adhesions, and phosphorylation of FAK and tensin, whereas IND inhibited all these at the baseline and EGF-stimulated conditions. IND-induced inhibition of FAK phosphorylation preceded changes in actin polymerization, indicating that actin depolymerization might be the consequence of decreased FAK activity. In in vivo experiments, rats received either vehicle or IND (5 mg/kg i.g.), and 3 min later, they received water or 5% hypertonic NaCl; gastric mucosa was obtained at 1, 4, and 8 hr after injury. Four and 8 hr after hypertonic injury, FAK phosphorylation was induced in gastric mucosa compared with controls. IND pretreatment significantly delayed epithelial restitution in vivo, and reduced FAK phosphorylation and recruitment to adhesion points, as well as actin stress fiber formation in migrating surface epithelial cells. Our study indicates that FAK, tensin, and actin stress fibers are likely mediators of EGF-stimulated cell migration in wounded human gastric monolayers and potential targets for IND-induced inhibition of restitution.

Abstract
Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) was heavily phosphorylated as a function of differentiation of C2C12 mouse skeletal muscle cells. Insulin caused increases in FAK phosphorylation before stabilization in proliferated cells, while in differentiated cells there was a consistent transient inhibition of FAK phosphorylation before stimulation. The expression level of FAK was unaltered. Specific inhibition of insulin receptor tyrosine kinase activity abolished the insulin-mediated dephosphorylation of FAK. The data strongly indicate that FAK tyrosine phosphorylation, necessary for skeletal muscle differentiation, is modulated by insulin. Thus, for the first time, we report the differential regulation of FAK tyrosine phosphorylation by insulin during skeletal muscle differentiation.

Abstract
The effects of neurotensin on focal adhesion kinase were investigated using lung cancer cells. Neurotensin bound with high affinity to large cell carcinoma cell line NCI-H1299 as did neurotensin-(8-13), but not neurotensin-(1-7) or levocabastine. Addition of 100 nM neurotensin to NCI-H1299 cells caused transient tyrosine phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase which was maximal after 1-2.5 min. Also, neurotensin-(8-13), but not neurotensin-(1-8) or levocabastine, caused tyrosine phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase after addition to NCI-H1299 cells. Focal adhesion kinase tyrosine phosphorylation caused by neurotensin was inhibited by the nonpeptide neurotensin receptor antagonist (2-(1-(7-chloroquinolin-4-yl)-5-(2,6-dimethoxyphenyl)-1H-pyrazole-3-carbonyl)amino)-adamantane-2-carboxylic acid) (SR48692). SR48692 inhibited the clonal growth of NCI-H1299 cells, whereas neurotensin-stimulated proliferation and levocabastine had no effect. These results indicate that lung cancer cells have functional neurotensin receptors which regulate focal adhesion kinase tyrosine phosphorylation. It remains to be determined if neurotensin receptors and focal adhesion kinase plays a role in lung cancer cellular adhesion and migration.

Abstract
Treatment of cultured bovine pulmonary endothelial cells (BPAEC) with adenosine (Ado) alone or in combination with homocysteine (Hc) leads to disruption of focal adhesion complexes, caspase-dependent degradation of components of focal adhesion complexes, and subsequent apoptosis. Endothelial cells transiently overexpressing paxillin or p130(Cas) cDNAs underwent Ado-Hc-induced apoptosis to an extent similar to that of cells transfected with vector alone. However, overexpression of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) cDNA blunted Ado-Hc-induced apoptosis. FAK constructs lacking the central catalytic domain or containing a point mutation, rendering the catalytic domain enzymatically inactive, did not provide protection from apoptosis. Constructs containing a mutation in the major autophosphorylation site (tyrosine-397) similarly did not prevent cell death. A FAK mutant in amino acid 395, deficient in phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) binding, was not able to blunt apoptosis. Finally, overexpression of FAK did not provide protection from apoptosis in the presence of LY-294002, a PI 3-kinase inhibitor. Taken together, these data suggest that the survival signals mediated by overexpression of FAK in response to Ado-Hc-induced apoptosis require a PI 3-kinase-dependent pathway.

Abstract
Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) modulates cell adhesion, migration, and branching morphogenesis in cultured epithelial cells, events that require regulation of cell-matrix interactions. Using mIMCD-3 epithelial cells, we studied the effect of HGF on the focal adhesion proteins, focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and paxillin and their association. HGF was found to increase the tyrosine phosphorylation of paxillin and to a lesser degree FAK. In addition, HGF induced association of paxillin and activated ERK, correlating with a gel retardation of paxillin that was prevented with the ERK inhibitor U0126. The ability of activated ERK to phosphorylate and induce gel retardation of paxillin was confirmed in vitro in both full-length and amino-terminal paxillin. Several potential ERK phosphorylation sites in paxillin flank the paxillin-FAK association domains, so the ability of HGF to regulate paxillin-FAK association was examined. HGF induced an increase in paxillin-FAK association that was inhibited by pretreatment with U0126 and reproduced by in vitro phosphorylation of paxillin with ERK. The prevention of the FAK-paxillin association with U0126 correlated with an inhibition of the HGF-mediated FAK tyrosine phosphorylation and inhibition of HGF-dependent cell spreading and adhesion. An examination of cellular localization of FAK and paxillin demonstrated that HGF caused a condensation of focal adhesion complexes at the leading edges of cell processes and FAK-paxillin co-localization in these large complexes. Thus, these data suggest that HGF can induce serine/threonine phosphorylation of paxillin most probably mediated directly by ERK, resulting in the recruitment and activation of FAK and subsequent enhancement of cell spreading and adhesion.

Abstract
Integrin-mediated cell adhesions provide dynamic, bidirectional links between the extracellular matrix and the cytoskeleton. Besides having central roles in cell migration and morphogenesis, focal adhesions and related structures convey information across the cell membrane, to regulate extracellular-matrix assembly, cell proliferation, differentiation, and death. This review describes integrin functions, mechanosensors, molecular switches and signal-transduction pathways activated and integrated by adhesion, with a unifying theme being the importance of local physical forces.

Abstract
Ezrin, a membrane-cytoskeleton linker, is required for cell morphogenesis, motility, and survival through molecular mechanisms that remain to be elucidated. Using the N-terminal domain of ezrin as a bait, we found that p125 focal adhesion kinase (FAK) interacts with ezrin. We show that the two proteins coimmunoprecipitate from cultured cell lysates. However, FAK does not interact with full-length ezrin in vitro, indicating that the FAK binding site on ezrin is cryptic. Mapping experiments showed that the entire N-terminal domain of FAK (amino acids 1-376) is required for optimal ezrin binding. While investigating the role of the ezrin-FAK interaction, we observed that, in suspended kidney-derived epithelial LLC-PK1 cells, overproduction of ezrin promoted phosphorylation of FAK Tyr-397, the major autophosphorylation site, creating a docking site for FAK signaling partners. Treatment of the cells with a Src family kinase inhibitor reduced the phosphorylation of Tyr-577 but not that of Tyr-397, indicating that ezrin-mediated FAK activation does not require the activity of Src kinases. Altogether, these observations indicate that ezrin is able to trigger FAK activation in signaling events that are not elicited by cell-matrix adhesion.

Abstract
Paxillin is a focal adhesion-associated, phosphotyrosine-containing protein that may play a role in several signaling pathways. Paxillin contains a number of motifs that mediate protein-protein interactions, including LD motifs, LIM domains, an SH3 domain-binding site and SH2 domain-binding sites. These motifs serve as docking sites for cytoskeletal proteins, tyrosine kinases, serine/threonine kinases, GTPase activating proteins and other adaptor proteins that recruit additional enzymes into complex with paxillin. Thus paxillin itself serves as a docking protein to recruit signaling molecules to a specific cellular compartment, the focal adhesions, and/or to recruit specific combinations of signaling molecules into a complex to coordinate downstream signaling. The biological function of paxillin coordinated signaling is likely to regulate cell spreading and motility.

Abstract
Anastomotic intimal hyperplasia and surface thrombogenicity are the main reasons for the high failure rate of prosthetic small-diameter vascular grafts. While anastomotic intimal hyperplasia is a multifactorial event, ongoing surface thrombogenicity is primarily caused by the lack of an endothelium, even after years of clinical implantation. After decades of poorly performing synthetic artery-grafts, tissue engineering has emerged as a promising approach to generate biologically functional bio-synthetic hybrid grafts mimicking native arteries regarding the presence of an endothelial lining on the blood surface. "In vitro endothelialization" represented the first generation of such tissue-engineered vascular grafts, utilising cell culture techniques for the creation of a confluent autologous endothelium on ePTFE grafts. The clinical long-term results with this method in almost 200 patients are highly encouraging, showing patencies equal to vein grafts. Since "in vitro endothelialization" requires cell culture facilities, it will always be confined to large centres. Therefore, research of the 1990s turned to the development of spontaneously endothelializing implants, to make tissue-engineered grafts amenable to the entire vascular-surgical community. Apart from scaffold designs allowing transmural ingrowth, biological signalling through a facilitating ingrowth matrix holds a key to spontaneous endothelialization. In biological signalling, the increasingly deeper understanding of bio-active molecules and the discovery of domains and peptide sequences during the 1980s created the expectation in the 1990s that peptide signalling may be all that is needed. This present review highlights the possible problems associated with such a reductionist approach. Using the fibronectin molecule, we demonstrated that domains may be more suitable modules in tissue engineering than peptide sequences.

Abstract
Treatment of intact Swiss 3T3 cells with calyculin-A, an inhibitor of myosin light chain (MLC) phosphatase, induces tyrosine phosphorylation of p125(Fak) in a sharply concentration- and time-dependent manner. Maximal stimulation was 4.2 +/- 2.1-fold (n = 14). The stimulatory effect of calyculin-A was observed at low nanomolar concentrations (<10 nM); at higher concentrations (>10 nM) tyrosine phosphorylation of p125(Fak) was strikingly decreased. Calyculin-A induced tyrosine phosphorylation of p125(Fak) through a protein kinase C- and Ca(2+)-independent pathway. Exposure to either cytochalasin-D or latrunculin-A, which disrupt actin organization by different mechanisms, abolished tyrosine phosphorylation of p125(Fak) in response to calyculin-A. Treatment with high concentrations of platelet-derived growth factor (20 ng/ml) which also disrupt actin stress fibers, completely inhibited tyrosine phosphorylation of p125(Fak) in response to calyculin-A. This agent also induced tyrosine phosphorylation of the focal adhesion-associated proteins p130(Cas) and paxillin. These tyrosine phosphorylation events were associated with a striking increase in the assembly of focal adhesions. The Rho kinase (ROK) inhibitor HA1077 that blocked focal adhesion formation by bombesin, had no effect on the focal adhesion assembly induced by calyculin-A. Thus, calyculin-A induces transient focal adhesion assembly and tyrosine phosphorylation of p125(Fak), p130(Cas), and paxillin, acting downstream of ROK.

Abstract
Group 1 metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR1 and mGluR5) stimulate phospholipase C (PLC) and lead to mobilization of intracellular Ca(2+) and activation of protein kinase C (PKC). In this investigation, using heterologous receptor-expressing Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, we showed that stimulation of mGluR1 or mGluR5 with glutamate rapidly increases tyrosine phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) (maximum at 1-3 min) in a dose-dependent manner (half-maximal responses at approximately 2 microM). In mGluR1-expressing cells, the glutamate-induced increase of FAK tyrosine phosphorylation was blocked by not only the PLC inhibitor, U73122, but also depletion of intracellular Ca(2+) and effectively abrogated by calmodulin (CaM) inhibitors, calmidazolium and fluphenazine. However, neither the PKC inhibitor, GF109203X, nor the CaM kinase II inhibitor, KN-62, inhibited glutamate-stimulated FAK tyrosine phosphorylation. Stimulation of mGluR1 caused a marked increase in actin stress fiber formation. Importantly, this actin rearrangement was prevented by the CaM inhibitor, but not by the PKC inhibitor and is thus in a good agreement with the signaling cascade of the mGluR1-FAK pathway. These results suggest that the Ca(2+)/CaM signaling and its downstream FAK tyrosine phosphorylation play an important role in cellular function of mGluR1.

Abstract
A rapid increase in tyrosine phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK), paxillin, and Crk-associated substrate (CAS) are prominent early events triggered by many G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), but the mechanisms involved remain unclear. Here, we examined whether the Rho-associated protein serine/threonine kinase family (ROCK) is a critical Rho effector in the pathway that links GPCR activation to the tyrosine phosphorylation of FAK, CAS, and paxillin. Treatment of Swiss 3T3 cells with Y-27632, a preferential inhibitor of ROCK, dramatically inhibited the formation of actin stress fibers, the assembly of focal contacts, and the increase in tyrosine phosphorylation of FAK and paxillin induced by bombesin in these cells. Surprisingly, we found that treatment with Y-27632 did not produce any detectable effect on bombesin-elicited CAS tyrosine phosphorylation even at the highest concentrations of Y-27632 tested. HA-1077, a preferential inhibitor of ROCK activity structurally unrelated to Y-27632, also attenuated the increase in the tyrosine phosphorylation of FAK and paxillin but did not affect the tyrosine phosphorylation of CAS induced by bombesin in Swiss 3T3 cells. The results demonstrate that ROCK-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation of FAK and paxillin can be dissociated from a ROCK-independent pathway leading to tyrosine phosphorylation of CAS.

Abstract
Plating suspended Swiss 3T3 cells onto fibronectin-coated dishes promoted phosphorylation of endogenous focal adhesion kinase (FAK) at Tyr-397, the major autophosphorylation site, and at Tyr-577, located in the activation loop, as revealed by site-specific antibodies that recognize the phosphorylated form of these residues. Treatment with the selective Src family kinase inhibitor pyrazolopyrimidine 2 (PP-2) markedly reduced the phosphorylation of both Tyr-397 and Tyr-577 induced by fibronectin. Furthermore, fibronectin-mediated FAK phosphorylation at Tyr-397 was dramatically reduced in SYF cells (deficient in Src, Yes, and Fyn expression). Stimulation of Swiss 3T3 cells with bombesin also induced a rapid increase in the phosphorylation of endogenous FAK at Tyr-397. In contrast to the results obtained with fibronectin, PP-2 did not prevent FAK Tyr-397 phosphorylation stimulated by bombesin at a concentration (10 micrometer) that suppressed bombesin-induced FAK Tyr-577 phosphorylation. Similarly, PP-2 did not prevent Tyr-397 phosphorylation in Swiss 3T3 cells stimulated with other G protein-coupled receptor agonists including vasopressin, bradykinin, endothelin, and lysophosphatidic acid. Lysophosphatidic acid also induced FAK phosphorylation at Tyr-397 in SYF cells. Our results identify, for first time, the existence of Src-dependent and Src-independent pathways leading to FAK autophosphorylation at Tyr-397 stimulated by adhesion-dependent signals and G protein-coupled receptor agonists in the same cell.

Abstract
Treatment of cultured human hepatoma HepG2 cells with the protein kinase C (PKC) activator, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), results in an increase in tyrosine phosphorylation of several proteins, including the focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and paxillin using anti-phosphotyrosine Western blotting and immunoprecipitation. However, when cells are in suspension or in the presence of cytochalasin D which disrupts the intracellular network of actin microfilaments, TPA loses its ability to stimulate tyrosine phosphorylation of FAK and paxillin but it still activates mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and induces PKC translocation from cytosol to the membrane in HepG2 cells. On the other hand, PD98059, a specific inhibitor of mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase, blocks TPA-induced MAPK activation but has no effect on TPA-induced tyrosine phosphorylation. Our findings suggest that TPA-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of FAK and paxillin in human hepatoma cells is PKC dependent and requires the integrity of the cell cytoskeleton but is uncoupled to the signal transduction pathway of PKC leading to the translocation of PKC and MAPK activation.

Abstract
Repair of incision wounds closed by suturing is evaluated by the progressive gain in wound breaking strength. Previously the closure of open wounds in rats ingesting vanadate, an inhibitor of tyrosine phosphate phosphatases, was shown to occur with deposition of more uniformly organized collagen fiber bundles. The hypothesis of this study was that deposition of more uniformly organized collagen fibers would enhance the gain in wound breaking strength of incisional wounds. Six adult rats received vanadate-supplemented saline drinking water for 1 week before placement of two 6-cm, parallel, suture-closed wounds on their backs. Six control rats received identical wounds and were given saline drinking water. The drinking water regimen was continued for 1 week after wounding, and then wound strength was tested with a tensiometer and tissue samples were obtained for histologic evaluation. Wound breaking strength doubled in vanadate-treated rats compared with controls. Bright-field and polarized light microscopy showed that the connective tissue matrix of granulation tissue from control rats was oriented perpendicular to the surface of the skin. In contrast, the connective tissue matrix of granulation tissue from vanadate-treated rats was oriented parallel to the skin surface. The gap in granulation tissue between the edges of the wounds in the vanadate-treated rats was greater than that in controls. Electron microscopy showed that wounds in the vanadate-treated contained uniform collagen fibers that were 20 percent greater in diameter and more evenly spaced than they were in controls. It is proposed that these changes in the organization of collagen fibers within incisional wounds were responsible for the increased wound breaking strength observed in rats ingesting vanadate.

Abstract
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-A stimulates formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis). This process includes migration of endothelial cells from the preexisting vessel toward the source of the growth factor. We show that VEGF-A-induced migration of porcine aortic endothelial cells expressing VEGF receptor-2 (VEGFR-2) is dependent on activation of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3-kinase). There is no direct interaction between VEGF receptor-2 and PI3-kinase; instead PI3-kinase is activated downstream of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) in VEGF-A-stimulated cells. Thus, VEGF-A stimulation leads to complex formation between FAK and PI3-kinase and overexpression of dominant-negative FAK decreases VEGF-A-induced PI3-kinase activation. FAK activation by VEGF-A increases with increasing concentration of growth factor, without apparent collapse of the cytoskeleton, in contrast to the effect of platelet-derived growth factor. FAK activation is mediated via the C-terminal tail of VEGFR-2 and loss of VEGF-A-induced FAK activation in cells expressing mutant VEGFR-2 correlates with loss of migration capacity. These data show that VEGF-A-induced FAK and PI3-kinase activation are required for migration of cells expressing VEGFR-2, via a pathway independent of direct interaction with the receptor.

Abstract
The effects of some oncogenes, growth factors and neuropeptides are mediated by tyrosine phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase (p125(FAK)) and paxillin cytoskeletal proteins. In this study the ability of bombesin/gastrin releasing peptide (BB/GRP) to stimulate tyrosine phosphorylation of p125(FAK) and paxillin in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) H1299 cells was investigated. BB, 100 nM caused increased p125(FAK) and paxillin tyrosine phosphorylation maximally after 1 min. The effect of BB on p125(FAK) and paxillin tyrosine phosphorylation was concentration-dependent, being half maximal at 4-8 nM. Also, 100 nM GRP, GRP(14-27) but not GRP(1-16) increased p125(FAK) and paxillin tyrosine phosphorylation indicating that the C-terminal of GRP is essential. BW2258U89, a GRP receptor antagonist, caused a dose-dependent inhibition of BB-stimulated p125(FAK) and paxillin tyrosine phosphorylation with an IC50 value of 3 microM. Cytochalasin D (0.3 microM), which inhibits actin polymerization, reduced the ability of BB to stimulate tyrosine phosphorylation of p125(FAK) and paxillin. Genistein (50 microM) and H-7 (50 microM), which are kinase inhibitors, reduced the tyrosine phosphorylation of p125(FAK) and paxillin stimulated by BB. Also, treatment of NCI-H1299 cells with FAK antisense resulted in decreased FAK tyrosine kinase activity and proliferation. These results suggest that p125(FAK) is an important enzyme for NSCLC proliferation.

Abstract
We have previously shown that in a HEK-293 cell line that overexpresses the C1a isoform of the calcitonin receptor (C1a-HEK), calcitonin induces the tyrosine phosphorylation of the focal adhesion-associated proteins HEF1 (a p130(Cas)-like docking protein), paxillin, and focal adhesion kinase and that it also stimulates the phosphorylation and activation of Erk1 and Erk2. We report here that cell attachment to the extracellular matrix, an intact actin cytoskeleton, and c-Src are absolutely required for the calcitonin-induced phosphorylation of focal adhesion-associated proteins. In contrast to the phosphorylation of paxillin and HEF1 in cells attached to fibronectin-coated dishes, calcitonin failed to stimulate the phosphorylation of paxillin and HEF1 in suspended cells, in cells attached to poly-d-lysine-coated dishes, and in attached cells pretreated with the RGD-containing peptide GRGDS. Overexpression of wild-type c-Src increased calcitonin-induced paxillin and HEF1 phosphorylation, whereas overexpression of kinase-dead Src or Src lacking a functional SH2 domain inhibited the calcitonin-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of these proteins. Overexpression of Src lacking the SH3 domain did not affect the calcitonin-induced phosphorylation of paxillin and HEF1. In contrast to the regulation of paxillin and HEF1 phosphorylation, the calcitonin-induced phosphorylation of Erk1 and Erk2 did not appear to involve c-Src and was only partially dependent on cell adhesion to the extracellular matrix and an intact actin cytoskeleton. Furthermore, inhibition of Erk1 and Erk2 phosphorylation had no effect on the calcitonin-induced phosphorylation of paxillin and HEF1. Thus, in C1a-HEK cells, the calcitonin receptor is coupled to the tyrosine phosphorylation of focal adhesion-associated proteins and to Erk1/2 phosphorylation by mechanisms that are in large part independent.

Abstract
Escherichia coli K1 traversal across the blood-brain barrier is an essential step in the pathogenesis of neonatal meningitis. We have previously shown that invasive E. coli promotes the actin rearrangement of brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMEC), which constitute a lining of the blood-brain barrier, for invasion. However, signal transduction mechanisms involved in E. coli invasion are not defined. In this report we show that tyrosine kinases play a major role in E. coli invasion of human BMEC (HBMEC). E. coli induced tyrosine phosphorylation of HBMEC cytoskeletal proteins, focal adhesion kinase (FAK), and paxillin, with a concomitant increase in the association of paxillin with FAK. Overexpression of a dominant interfering form of the FAK C-terminal domain, FRNK (FAK-related nonkinase), significantly inhibited E. coli invasion of HBMEC. Furthermore, we found that FAK kinase activity and the autophosphorylation site (Tyr397) are important in E. coli invasion of HBMEC, whereas the Grb2 binding site (Tyr925) is not required. Immunocytochemical studies demonstrated that FAK is recruited to focal plaques at the site of bacterial entry. Consistent with the invasion results, overexpression of FRNK, a kinase-negative mutant (Arg454 FAK), and a Src binding mutant (Phe397 FAK) inhibited the accumulation of FAK at the bacterial entry site. The overexpression of FAK mutants in HBMEC also blocked the E. coli-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of FAK and its association with paxillin. These observations provide evidence that FAK tyrosine phosphorylation and its recruitment to the cytoskeleton play a key role in E. coli invasion of HBMEC.

Abstract
This study investigated the subcellular compartmentalization of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) fragments and their regulation during apoptosis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells. A 50 kDa NH(2)-terminal FAK fragment and a 120 kDa FAK variant were constitutively expressed and specifically found in the nuclear fraction of cells, while a 55 kDa COOH-terminal FAK fragment was only in the cytosolic fraction. FAK cleavage fragments generated during apoptosisremained in the cytosol, while p120FAK and p50 NH(2)-terminal FAK remained in the nuclear compartment. The caspase inhibitor, ZVAD-fmk, prevented the apoptosis-induced proteolysis of p125 and p120FAK, generation of the 80 kDa cleavage product, and increased expression of p50N-FAK. Western blot with phospho-specific FAK showed that nuclear p125(FAK) was phosphorylated at a significant level at Y861, while FAK phosphorylated at Y397 and Y407 was largely in the cytosol. These results indicate that FAK NH(2)- and COOH-terminal domain fragments are segregated between nuclear and cytosolic compartments in endothelial cells and suggest novel functions for the FAK NH(2)-terminal domain.

Abstract
The Rho family of GTPases plays a major role in the organization of the actin cytoskeleton. These G proteins are activated by guanine nucleotide exchange factors that stimulate the exchange of bound GDP for GTP. In their GTP-bound state, these G proteins interact with downstream effectors. Vav2 is an exchange factor for Rho family GTPases. It is a ubiquitously expressed homologue of Vav1, and like Vav1, it has previously been shown to be activated by tyrosine phosphorylation. Because Vav1 becomes tyrosine phosphorylated and activated following integrin engagement in hematopoietic cells, we investigated the tyrosine phosphorylation of Vav2 in response to integrin-mediated adhesion in fibroblasts and epithelial cells. However, no tyrosine phosphorylation of Vav2 was detected in response to integrin engagement. In contrast, treating cells with either epidermal growth factor or platelet-derived growth factor stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of Vav2. We have examined the effects of overexpressing either wild-type or amino-terminally truncated (constitutively active) forms of Vav2 as fusion proteins with green fluorescent protein. Overexpression of either wild-type or constitutively active Vav2 resulted in prominent membrane ruffles and enhanced stress fibers. These cells revealed elevated rates of cell migration that were inhibited by expression of dominant negative forms of Rac1 and Cdc42. Using a binding assay to measure the activity of Rac1, Cdc42, and RhoA, we found that overexpression of Vav2 resulted in increased activity of each of these G proteins. Expression of a carboxy-terminal fragment of Vav2 decreased the elevation of Rac1 activity induced by epidermal growth factor, consistent with Vav2 mediating activation of Rac1 downstream from growth factor receptors.

Abstract
In response to endovascular injury, platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) are released locally and modulate vascular smooth muscle cells (SMC) proliferation and migration within the vascular wall. The aim of the present in vitro study was to determine how rat aorta SMC respond to the simultaneous exposure to PDGF-BB and bFGF. In a modified Boyden chamber assay bFGF exhibited a dose-dependent effect to inhibit the chemotactic action of PDGF-BB. A comparable result was observed in proliferation assays. In contrast, MIP-1 beta, epidermal growth factor (EGF), fibronectin and acidic FGF (aFGF) did not inhibit the chemotactic effect of PDGF-BB. Denatured bFGF did not exert an inhibitory effect and neutralizing antibodies either to bFGF or to bFGF-receptor abolished the inhibition observed in the presence of bFGF. The role played by PDGF receptor alpha (PDGF-Ralpha) was investigated in PDGF-Ralpha-dominant negative-transfected SMC, by selectively blocking PDGF-BB-binding to PDGF-Ralpha with neomycin, by neutralizing PDGF-Ralpha with a monoclonal antibody and by selectively stimulating PDGF-Ralpha with PDGF-AA; in all cases the effect of bFGF to inhibit PDGF-BB-directed SMC migration was abolished. These in vitro studies show that bFGF significantly inhibits PDGF-BB-induced SMC migration and proliferation and that this effect is mediated by both PDGF-Ralpha and bFGF receptor.

Abstract
Neutrophil adhesion is fundamentally important during the onset of inflammatory responses. The adhesion signaling pathways control neutrophil arrest and extravasation and influence neutrophil shape and function at sites of inflammation. In the present study the intracellular signaling pathways for the adhesion of human neutrophils by pituitary growth hormone (GH) were examined. Pituitary GH triggered the tyrosine phosphorylation of Janus kinase 2 (Jak2) and STAT3 in neutrophils. In addition, pituitary GH treatment resulted in the morphological changes and the tyrosine phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase (p125FAK) and paxillin. Preincubation with genistein, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, blocked the GH-stimulated adhesion and Jak2, STAT3, p125FAK, and paxillin phosphorylation. Confocal microscopy revealed that pituitary GH stimulates the focal localization of p125FAK, paxillin, phosphotyrosine, and filamentous actin filament into the membrane rufflings and uropods of human neutrophils. Immunoprecipitation experiments revealed a physical association of Jak2 with p125FAK via STAT3 in vivo. Also an in vitro kinase assay showed an augmentation of p125FAK autophosphorylation as a result of pituitary GH treatment. These results suggest that pituitary GH modulates neutrophil adhesion through tyrosine phosphorylation of Jak2, p125FAK, and paxillin and actin polymerization.

Abstract
Echistatin, a snake-venom RGD-containing protein, was previously shown to disrupt cell-matrix adhesion by a mechanism that involves the reduction of pp125FAK tyrosine phosphorylation levels. The aim of this study was to establish the sequence of events downstream pp125FAK dephosphorylation that could be responsible for echistatin-induced disassembly of actin cytoskeleton and focal adhesions in fibronectin-adherent B16-BL6 melanoma cells. The results obtained show that echistatin induces a decrease of both autophosphorylation and kinase activity of pp125FAK. One hour of cell exposure to echistatin caused a 39% decrease of pp125FAK Tyr397 phosphorylation and a 31% reduction of pp125FAK autophosphorylation activity as measured by immune-complex kinase assay. Furthermore, 1 h of cell treatment by echistatin produced a 63% decrease of paxillin phosphorylation, as well as a reduction in the amount of paxillin bound to pp125FAK. Immunofluorescence analysis of echistatin treated cells showed the concomitant disappearance of both paxillin and pp125FAK from focal adhesions. The reduction of paxillin phosphorylation may represent a critical step in the pathway by which disintegrins exert their biological activity, including the inhibition of experimental metastasis in vivo.

Abstract
Protein tyrosine phosphorylation accompanies and is essential for integrin signaling. We have shown that tyrosine phosphorylation of paxillin alpha and Crk-associated substrate (p130(Cas)) is a prominent event on integrin activation in normal murine mammary gland epithelial cells. Tyrosine phosphorylation of p130(Cas) has been demonstrated to facilitate cell migration. We show here that tyrosine phosphorylation of paxillin alpha acts to reduce haptotactic cell migrations as well as transcellular invasive activities in several different experimental cell systems, whereas tyrosine phosphorylation of p130(Cas) exerts opposing effects to those of paxillin alpha. Each of the phosphorylation-null mutants acts as a dominant negative for each phenotype. Moreover, we found that overexpression of paxillin alpha reduced the cell saturation density of normal murine mammary gland cells, whereas overexpression of p130(Cas) increased it. These effects also seemed to depend on tyrosine phosphorylation events. Cell growth rates and morphologies at growing phases were not significantly altered, nor were cells transformed. Addition of epidermal growth factor increased saturation density of the paxillin alpha-overexpressing cells, whereas no further increment was observed in p130(Cas)-overexpressing cells. We propose that tyrosine phosphorylation of paxillin alpha and p130(Cas) exerts opposing effects on several integrin-mediated cellular events, possibly through different signaling pathways.

Abstract
The experiments presented here were designed to examine the contribution of the extracellular signal-regulated mitogen-activated protein kinases (ERKs) to the tyrosine phosphorylation of the focal adhesion proteins p125(Fak), p130(Cas), and paxillin induced by G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and tyrosine kinase receptors in Swiss 3T3 cells. Stimulation of these cells with bombesin, lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), endothelin, and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) led to a marked increase in the tyrosine phosphorylation of these focal adhesion proteins and in ERK activation. Exposure of the cells to two structurally unrelated mitogen-activated protein kinase or ERK kinase (MEK) inhibitors, PD98059 and U0126, completely abrogated ERK activation but did not prevent tyrosine phosphorylation of p125(Fak), p130(Cas), and paxillin. Furthermore, different dose-response relationships were obtained for tyrosine phosphorylation of focal adhesion proteins and for ERK activation in response to PDGF. Putative upstream events in the activation of focal adhesion proteins including actin cytoskeletal reorganization and myosin light chain (MLC) phosphorylation were also not prevented by inhibition of ERK activation. Thus, our results demonstrate that the activation of the ERK pathway is not necessary for the increase of the tyrosine phosphorylation of p125(Fak), p130(Cas), and paxillin induced by either GPCRs or tyrosine kinase receptors in Swiss 3T3 cells.

Abstract
Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) has been implicated to play a critical role in integrin-mediated control of cell behavior. However, it is unclear whether FAK also participates in the regulation of growth factor-elicited cellular functions. In this study, we have demonstrated that although overexpression of FAK in Madin-Dardy canine kidney cells did not alter their growth property or ability to form tubules within collagen gel upon hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) stimulation, it apparently enhanced HGF-induced cell scattering. This enhancement was largely because of an increase in the third phase (i.e. cell migration) of cell scattering rather than the first two phases (i.e. cell spreading and cell-cell dissociation). Conversely, the expression of FAK-related nonkinase significantly ( approximately 60%) inhibited HGF-induced cell migration. Moreover, we have found that the effect of FAK on promoting HGF-induced cell motility was greatly dependent on cell-matrix interactions. We showed that HGF treatment selectively increased the expression of integrins alpha(2) and, to a lesser extent, alpha(3) in Madin-Dardy canine kidney cells and that a monoclonal antibody against integrin alpha(2) efficiently blocked HGF-enhanced cell migration on collagen. In our efforts to determine the mechanism by which FAK promotes HGF-induced cell migration, we found that FAK mutants deficient in phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase or p130(Cas) binding failed to promote HGF-induced cell migration. Interestingly, cells expressing a FAK mutant defective in Grb2 binding exhibited a rate of migration approximately 50% lower than that of cells expressing wild type FAK in response to HGF stimulation. Taken together, our results suggest a link between HGF-increased integrin expression, FAK activation, and enhanced cell motility and implicate a role for FAK in the facilitation of growth factor-induced cell motility.

Abstract
Identification of signaling molecules that regulate cell migration is important for understanding fundamental processes in development and the origin of various pathological conditions. The migration of Nara Bladder Tumor II (NBT-II) cells was used to determine which signaling molecules are specifically involved in the collagen-mediated locomotion. We show here that paxillin is tyrosine phosphorylated after induction of motility on collagen. Overexpression of paxillin mutants in which tyrosine 31 and/or tyrosine 118 were replaced by phenylalanine effectively impaired cell motility. Moreover, stimulation of motility by collagen preferentially enhanced the association of paxillin with the SH2 domain of the adaptor protein CrkII. Mutations in both tyrosine 31 and 118 diminished the phosphotyrosine content of paxillin and prevented the formation of the paxillin-Crk complex, suggesting that this association is necessary for collagen-mediated NBT-II cell migration. Other responses to collagen, such as cell adhesion and spreading, were not affected by these mutations. Overexpression of wild-type paxillin or Crk could bypass the migration-deficient phenotype. Both the SH2 and the SH3 domains of CrkII are shown to play a critical role in this collagen-mediated migration. These results demonstrate the important role of the paxillin-Crk complex in the collagen-induced cell motility.

Abstract
Previous studies have shown that different agonists increase tyrosine phosphorylation of the focal adhesion related proteins p125(FAK), p130(Cas), and paxillin in different cell types and that tyrosine phosphorylation depends on the integrity of the actin cytoskeleton. Because phosphoinositides are important for the maintenance of the cytoskeleton, the role of phosphoinositides in the tyrosine phosphorylation of these proteins in response to occupancy of m3 muscarinic and CCK(A) receptors has been investigated in pancreatic acini. Addition of carbachol or CCK-8 to pancreatic acini resulted in rapid increases in the tyrosine phosphorylation of p125(FAK), p130(Cas), and paxillin. Pretreatment of pancreatic acini with LY294002 or wortmannin resulted in a concentration-dependent inhibition of tyrosine phosphorylation of p125(FAK), p130(Cas), and paxillin stimulated by carbachol or CCK-8. Carbachol- or CCK-8-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of these proteins was not inhibited by rapamycin, PD 98059 or SB 203580, and thus it was dissociated from the activation of p70 S6 or MAP kinases. These results indicate that m3 muscarinic and CCK(A) receptor-mediated increase in p125(FAK), p130(Cas), and paxillin tyrosine phosphorylation in pancreatic acini depends on the ability of these cells to synthesise phosphoinositides.

Abstract
Apoptosis causes characteristic morphological changes in cells, including membrane blebbing, cell detachment from the extracellular matrix, and loss of cell-cell contacts. We investigated the changes in focal adhesion proteins during etoposide-induced apoptosis in Rat-1 cells and found that during apoptosis, p130cas (Crk-associated substrate [Cas]) is cleaved by caspase-3. Sequence analysis showed that Cas contains 10 DXXD consensus sites preferred by caspase-3. We identified two of these sites (DVPD(416)G and DSPD(748)G) in vitro, and point mutations substituting the Asp of DVPD(416)G and DSPD(748)G with Glu blocked caspase-3-mediated cleavage. Cleavage at DVPD(416)G generated a 74-kDa fragment, which was in turn cleaved at DSPD(748)G, yielding 47- and 31-kDa fragments. Immunofluorescence microscopy revealed well-developed focal adhesion sites in control cells that dramatically declined in number in etoposide-treated cells. Cas cleavage correlated temporally with the onset of apoptosis and coincided with the loss of p125FAK (focal adhesion kinase [FAK]) from focal adhesion sites and the attenuation of Cas-paxillin interactions. Considering that Cas associates with FAK, paxillin, and other molecules involved in the integrin signaling pathway, these results suggest that caspase-mediated cleavage of Cas contributes to the disassembly of focal adhesion complexes and interrupts survival signals from the extracellular matrix.

Abstract
PURPOSE Growth factors and cytokines such as platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), epidermal growth factor (EGF), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), and transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) stimulate smooth muscle cell (SMC) proliferation and extracellular matrix (ECM) protein production by binding and activating their respective receptors. Recent investigations suggest that simultaneous activation of integrins, which are heterodimeric receptors for ECM, may also be required for growth factor and cytokine function. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that activation of two integrins, alpha v beta 3 and alpha 2 beta 1, both previously identified in vascular SMCs, is necessary for growth factor- and cytokine-induced vascular SMC dysfunction. METHODS DNA synthesis was measured after stimulation of SMCs derived from human saphenous vein with the growth factors PDGF-BB, EGF, and bFGF. SMC fibronectin (Fn) production was measured (by means of Western blotting) in SMCs stimulated for 72 hours with TGF-beta1 or EGF. Both endpoints were measured in the presence and absence of antibodies that block the function of the alpha v beta 3 and alpha 2 beta 1 integrins as well as the alpha2 and beta1 subunits. RESULTS The alpha v beta 3 integrin blocking antibody significantly inhibited PDGF-BB-, EGF-, and bFGF-induced SMC proliferation. The alpha v beta 3 integrin antibody also markedly inhibited TGF-1- and EGF-induced SMC Fn production. Neither the alpha 2 beta 1 integrin nor the alpha2 or the beta1 subunits inhibited either proliferation or matrix protein production in response to any of these agonists. CONCLUSION The alpha v beta 3 integrin is required for growth factor- and cytokine-induced SMC proliferation and FN production, whereas alpha 2 beta 1 is not. Since activation of alpha v beta 3 is required for the activity of at least four distinct growth factors and cytokines, inhibition of this integrin might be used as a therapeutic tool for the prevention of intimal hyperplasia.

Abstract
Previous studies have shown that epidermal growth factor (EGF) synergizes with various extracellular matrix components in promoting the migration of B82L fibroblasts expressing wild-type EGF receptors and that functional EGF receptors are critical for the conversion of B82L fibroblasts to a migratory cell type (). In the present study, we examined the effects of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) on the motility of B82L fibroblasts using a microchemotaxis chamber. We found that PDGF can enhance fibronectin-induced migration of B82L fibroblasts expressing wild-type EGF receptors (B82L-clone B3). However, B82L cells that lack the EGF receptor (B82L-parental) or that express an EGF receptor that is kinase-inactive (B82L-K721M) or C-terminally truncated (B82L-c'973) exhibit little PDGF-stimulated migration. In addition, none of these three cell lines exhibit the capacity to migrate to fibronectin alone. These observations indicate that, similar to cell migration toward fibronectin, PDGF-induced cell migration of B82L fibroblasts is augmented by the expression of an intact EGF receptor kinase. The loss of PDGF-stimulated motility in B82L cells that do not express an intact EGF receptor does not appear to result from a gross dysfunction of PDGF receptors, because ligand-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of the PDGF-beta receptor and the activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases are readily detectable in these cells. Moreover, an interaction between EGF and PDGF receptor systems is supported by the observation that the EGF receptor exhibits an increase in phosphotyrosine content in a time-dependent fashion upon the addition of PDGF. Altogether, these studies demonstrate that the expression of EGF receptor is critical for PDGF-stimulated migration of murine B82L fibroblasts and suggest a role for the EGF receptor downstream of PDGF receptor activation in the signaling events that lead to PDGF-stimulated cell motility.

Abstract
Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is a widely expressed nonreceptor tyrosine kinase found in focal adhesions. FAK has been indicated as a point of convergence of other signaling pathways including platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) receptors, and recently, FAK tyrosine phosphorylation has been shown to be stimulated by PDGF. In the present study we assessed the role of Ras as a possible intermediate protein regulating PDGF-induced FAK tyrosine phosphorylation in human hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), liver-specific pericytes primarily involved in the pathogenesis of liver fibrosis. For this purpose, cells were first subjected to retroviral-mediated gene transfer with a dominant-negative mutant of Ras (N17Ras). This resulted in a marked inhibition of PDGF-induced FAK tyrosine phosphorylation together with the expected reduction of PDGF-induced extracellular signal-regulated kinase activity (ERK). Afterward, the effects of pharmacological agents potentially affecting Ras isoprenylation were evaluated. PDGF-induced FAK tyrosine phosphorylation, ERK activity and intracellular calcium increase, as well as the biological effects of this growth factor, (i.e., mitogenesis and cell migration) were effectively blocked by GGTI-298, an inhibitor of geranylgeranyltransferase I. Inhibition of Ras processing obtained with FTI-277, an inhibitor of farnesyltransferase, resulted in detectable effects only at high doses. Taken together, these results establish that Ras operates as a protein-linking PDGF-beta receptor to FAK in human HSCs, and that signaling molecules requiring geranylgeranylation may also be involved in this process.

Abstract
Interaction between neutrophils and endothelial cells is one of the first steps in the functional response of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN), and is necessary for their migration toward damaged tissues. PMN activation, leading to their adhesion to and migration between endothelial cells, is part of a complex phenomenon that can be altered in pathological situations such as the ischemia-reperfusion syndrome, in which large numbers of PMN are recruited to the tissue and release reactive oxygen species (ROS) near the vessel wall. ROS have been implicated in the pathogenesis of various inflammatory diseases. The increased adhesion of PMN to ROS-stimulated endothelial cells involves an increase in tyrosine phosphorylation of a tyrosine kinase focal adhesion kinase (p125FAK) and several cytoskeleton proteins, including paxillin and p130 cas. We examined the role of glutathione (GSH) in the regulation of this adhesion phenomenon and in the increased tyrosine phosphorylation induced by ROS. For this purpose we used anethole dithiolthione (ADT), which increases the glutathione synthesis by activating gamma-glutamyl-cysteine synthetase. We found that ADT reduced both PMN adhesion to ROS-stimulated human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) and tyrosine phosphorylation of p125FAK and paxillin. ADT increased redox status by increasing intracellular GSH content in oxidized cells. These results show that GSH can reverse the effect of oxidation on tyrosine kinase activation and phosphorylation, and thus plays an important role in cell signaling. They also confirm the antioxidant activity of ADT.

Abstract
Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are associated with a number of clinical conditions, of which the most serious is cervical carcinoma. The E6 protein of the oncogenic, mucosal-specific HPV types has been shown to complex with p53 and, as a result, target it for rapid proteasome-mediated degradation. As a consequence, p53's growth-arrest and apoptosis-inducing activities are abrogated. Since p53 is frequently wild type in cervical cancers, unlike other cancers in which it is often mutated, the notion has arisen that E6's activity with respect to p53 is equivalent to an inactivating mutation of p53. In addition, several studies have shown that the pathways both upstream and downstream of p53 are intact in cervical cancers; this suggests the potential importance of the E6 - p53 interaction for therapeutic intervention. However, like all viral oncoproteins, E6 is a multifunctional protein and a plethora of other cellular targets has been identified. Indeed, E6's interactions with some of these additional targets appear to be equally important in the pathogenesis of HPV, and may also represent valid targets for therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
The mammalian focal adhesion kinase (FAK) family of nonreceptor protein-tyrosine kinases have been implicated in controlling a multitude of cellular responses to the engagement of cell surface integrins and G protein-coupled receptors. We describe here a Drosophila melanogaster FAK homologue, DFak56, which maps to band 56D on the right arm of the second chromosome. Full-length DFak56 cDNA encodes a phosphoprotein of 140 kDa, which shares strong sequence similarity not only with mammalian p125(FAK) but also with the more recently described mammalian Pyk2 (also known as CAKbeta, RAFTK, FAK2, and CADTK) FAK family member. DFak56 has intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity and is phosphorylated on tyrosine in vivo. As is the case for FAK, tyrosine phosphorylation of DFak56 is increased upon plating Drosophila embryo cells on extracellular matrix proteins. In situ hybridization and immunofluorescence staining analysis showed that DFak56 is ubiquitously expressed with particularly high levels within the developing central nervous system. We utilized the UAS-GAL4 expression system to express DFak56 and analyze its function in vivo. Overexpression of DFak56 in the wing imaginal disc results in wing blistering in adults, a phenotype also observed with both position-specific integrin loss of function and position-specific integrin overexpression. Our results imply a role for DFak56 in adhesion-dependent signaling pathways in vivo during D. melanogaster development.

Abstract
Factor J (FJ) is a cationic glycoprotein with inhibitory activity in vitro against both classical and alternative pathways of complement activation. Recently FJ has been implicated in adhesion to several cell lines, through a membrane receptor identified as nucleolin. In the present work we study the events that follow the binding of FJ to cells. After incubation of K562 with FJ, this protein was internalized actively and localized in the cytoplasm and nucleus. Adhesion to immobilized FJ induced tyrosine phosphorylation of several intracellular proteins in Jurkat cell line with a similar pattern to that induced by fibronectin (FN), an extracellular matrix protein. This effect was maximal at 5 min and decreased after 10 min, and inhibited by anti-FJ monoclonal antibody (mAb). These results suggest that the binding of FJ to cells may play an important role in transduction of biochemical signals across the plasma membrane to the cell interior.

Abstract
The mechanisms through which heregulin (HRG) regulates the progression of breast cancer cells to a more invasive phenotype are currently unknown. Recently we have shown that HRG treatment of breast cancer cells leads to the formation of lamellipodia/filopodia, and increased cell migration and invasiveness through the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI-3 kinase). Since the process of cell migration must involve changes in adhesion, we explored the potential HRG regulation of paxillin, a major cytoskeletal phosphoprotein of focal adhesion. We report that HRG stimulation of non-invasive breast cancer cells resulted in stimulation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38MAPK), extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK) and PI-3K, and a concurrent unexpected increase in the level of paxillin phosphorylation on serine residue which was sensitive to protein-phosphatase 2b but not to protein tyrosine phosphatase 1. In addition, HRG triggered a rapid redistribution of paxillin to the perinuclear regions from the tyrosine-phosphorylated focal adhesions, and increased cell scattering. There was no effect of HRG on the state of phosphorylation and localization of focal adhesion kinase. The HRG-induced increase in serine phosphorylation of paxillin and cell scattering were selectively inhibited by a specific inhibitor of p38MAPK or a dominant-negative p38MAPK mutant, but not by inhibitors of p42/44MAPK or PI-3 kinase pathways. For the first time our results have shown that HRG, a potent migratory growth factor stimulates serine phosphorylation of paxillin. These findings suggest a role of p38MAPK-dependent signal transduction pathway(s) in serine phosphorylation and disassembly of the paxillin from the focal complexes during HRG-induced cell shape alterations and motility.

Abstract
Engagement of integrins and other adhesion receptors can induce tyrosine phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK), a tyrosine kinase present in focal adhesions. Furthermore, in addition to adhesion receptors, a surprising variety of stimuli, acting either on specific surface receptors or on intracellular molecules, such as PKC or Rho, can induce also tyrosine phosphorylation of FAK. I suggest that a potential mechanism by which such distinct factors may modulate the tyrosine phosphorylation of FAK is the promotion of integrin or other adhesion receptor clustering at focal adhesions.

Abstract
Human endometrial stromal cells undergo in vitro decidualization when treated with progesterone and estrogen. Using this model, we previously reported specific changes in the c-Src kinase activity and tyrosine phosphorylation of several proteins during in vitro decidualization. Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and paxillin are known to form a complex with c-Src at the focal contacts and to participate in the integrin-mediated signal transduction as c-Src substrates. We here examined the tyrosine phosphorylation and subcellular localization of the focal adhesion proteins in stromal cells isolated from human endometrium. We found, however, that the total levels of FAK and paxillin tyrosine phosphorylation were not markedly changed during decidualization or after steroid withdrawal. In our culture system numerous multicellular nodules were developed in cultures of decidualized stromal cells, within whose nodules the focal contacts were found to disappear. Moreover, disruption of the focal contacts was accompanied by disorganization of the actin-based cytoskeleton. These findings suggest that tyrosine phosphorylation of the endometrial paxillin and FAK is not tightly regulated by the kinase activity of c-Src during in vitro decidualization. The escape from regulation by c-Src may be in part due to the dissociation of the focal adhesion proteins/c-Src complex caused by the breakdown of the focal adhesion plaques as well as the loss of the actin-based cytoskeletal architecture.
