Abstract
UNLABELLED Monocyte chemotactic protein-1 and its receptor, CCR2, play a key role in atherosclerosis. We determined the effect of the polyphenol, resveratrol, on CCR2 and the mechanisms involved. Resveratrol treatment inhibited 125I-MCP-1 binding to THP-1 cells; 31, 56, 84% decrease for 10, 50 and 100 microM resveratrol, in the absence of any effect on receptor affinity. The inhibitory effect of resveratrol on 125I-MCP-1 binding to THP-1 cells and on CCR2 protein expression determined by FACS analysis was attenuated by treatment with L-NAME (NOS inhibitor), PD98059 (MAPK inhibitor) and LY294002 (PI3K inhibitor), whereas neither X/XO (reactive oxygen species generator) nor ICI182780 (estrogen receptor antagonist) had any effect. Concomitant with a decrease in CCR2 protein expression, resveratrol inhibited THP-1 CCR2 mRNA levels, in the absence of any effect on its stability; 26 and 45% inhibition at 10 and 50 microM resveratrol, respectively. This effect was not altered by co-treatment with L-NAME, PD98059 or ICI182780, but was potentiated by LY294002 and X/XO. CONCLUSIONS Resveratrol inhibits monocyte CCR2 binding activity in an NO-, MAPK- and PI3K-dependent manner, whereas it inhibits CCR2 mRNA in an NO- and MAPK-independent, PI3K-dependent manner. These inhibitory effects of resveratrol on chemokine receptor binding and expression may contribute, in part, to its cardiovascular protective activity in vivo.

Abstract
CXCR4/stromal-cell-derived factor-1alpha (SDF-1alpha) is involved in many cancer metastatic mechanisms. Cervical squamous cell cancer (SCC) tissues (n=35), normal cervical tissues (n=10), metastatic (n=10) and nonmetastatic lymph nodes (n=50), and Hela cells were stained immunohistochemically with CXCR4 monoclonal antibody (mAb). Meanwhile, lymph nodes were stained immunohistochemically with rabbit anti-SDF-1alpha. In vitro invasion of Hela cells was evaluated using Transwell Permeable Supports (Corning, NY), in which Hela cells with/without CXCR4 mAb preincubation were seeded in the upper chambers and medium containing 0-100 ng/mL SDF-1alpha was added to the lower compartments. For evaluating the effect of CXCR4/SDF-1alpha on proliferation of cervical cancer cells, Hela cells were cultured for 72 h exposed to SDF-1alpha with and without CXCR4 mAb. We found that CXCR4 was expressed on SCC cells in all cervical cancer, metastatic lymph node, and Hela cells but not in normal cervix. SDF-1alpha was expressed on lymph cells in all lymph nodes. SDF-1alpha induced the directed migration of Hela cells with a concentration-dependent model, which was inhibited by CXCR4 mAb (P<0.05). SDF-1alpha also stimulated the proliferation of Hela cells mediated by CXCR4 (P<0.05). CXCR4/SDF-1alpha axis probably participates in the metastasis toward lymph nodes in cervical cancer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of estradiol (E2) and raloxifene on the migration of human monocytic THP-1 cells to endothelium. DESIGN A prospective comparative study. THP-1 cells, a human acute monocytic leukemia cell line, were used for the study. Migration assays were performed using transwell inserts. THP-1 cells were exposed to E2 or raloxifene in the presence of monocytic chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), a major chemoattractant for monocytes. The cells were transfected with small interfering RNA (siRNA) against estrogen receptor (ER) alpha and ERbeta for gene silencing. ER expression was evaluated by Western blot analysis. RESULTS MCP-1 induced the migration of the cells for 90 minutes. The addition of E2 or raloxifene significantly inhibited the MCP-1-induced migration for 90 minutes. Preincubation of THP-1 cells with an ER antagonist, ICI 182780, significantly attenuated the inhibitory effects of E2 and raloxifene. Whereas transfection with siRNA of ERalpha significantly attenuated the inhibition by E2 of MCP-1-induced monocyte migration, transfection with control siRNA or siRNA of ERbeta had no effect on the rapid inhibitory action of E2. Moreover, preincubation of THP-1 cells with a transcriptional inhibitor, actinomycin D, had no effect on the rapid inhibitory action of E2. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that both E2 and raloxifene inhibited the MCP-1-induced monocyte migration through nongenomic ERalpha. This result may explain one of the antiatherosclerotic effects of E2 and raloxifene on vasculature.

Abstract
Squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Despite significant surgical advances and refinement in the delivery of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, prognosis has improved little in recent decades. Better local control has led to the late presentation of distant metastases and novel therapeutic agents are urgently required to prevent relapse, control disseminated disease and thus improve survival. PIK3CA encodes the p110alpha isoform of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3-K) and is important in SCCHN, aberrations in its activity occurring early in the oncogenic process. PI3-K signalling promotes cell survival, proliferation, invasion and angiogenesis, all contributing to tumour progression. Activation of the PI3-K pathway may also mediate resistance to chemotherapy, radiotherapy and novel therapeutic agents such as epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors. Elements of this signalling matrix, therefore, offer attractive therapeutic targets in SCCHN as inhibition of many malignant characteristics, as well as sensitisation to multiple treatment modalities, could be anticipated.

Abstract
Phox homology (PX) domains, which have been identified in a variety of proteins involved in cell signaling and membrane trafficking, have been shown to interact with phosphoinositides (PIs) with different affinities and specificities. To elucidate the structural origin of diverse PI specificities of PX domains, we determined the crystal structure of the PX domain from phosphoinositide 3-kinase C2alpha (PI3K-C2alpha), which binds phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(4,5)P(2)). To delineate the mechanism by which this PX domain interacts with membranes, we measured the membrane binding of the wild type domain and mutants by surface plasmon resonance and monolayer techniques. This PX domain contains a signature PI-binding site that is optimized for PtdIns(4,5)P(2) binding. The membrane binding of the PX domain is initiated by nonspecific electrostatic interactions followed by the membrane penetration of hydrophobic residues. Membrane penetration is specifically enhanced by PtdIns(4,5)P(2). Furthermore, the PX domain displayed significantly higher PtdIns(4,5)P(2) membrane affinity and specificity when compared with the PI3K-C2alpha C2 domain, demonstrating that high affinity PtdIns(4,5)P(2) binding was facilitated by the PX domain in full-length PI3K-C2alpha. Together, these studies provide new structural insight into the diverse PI specificities of PX domains and elucidate the mechanism by which the PI3K-C2alpha PX domain interacts with PtdIns(4,5)P(2)-containing membranes and thereby mediates the membrane recruitment of PI3K-C2alpha.

Abstract
The lipid products of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) are involved in many cellular responses such as proliferation, migration and survival. Disregulation of PI3K-activated pathways is implicated in different disease including diabetes and cancer. Among the different products of PI3Ks, phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate (PtdIns-3,4,5-P3) has a well established role in signal transduction whereas the monophosphate phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate (PtdIns-3-P) has been considered for a long time just a cellular component confined in endosomal structures. Only recently several evidence have indicated that PtdIns-3-P can also act as a dynamic intracellular second messenger. The role of PtdIns-3-P as mediator of crucial intracellular signals is therefore just beginning to be appreciated. Here we review some of the latest evidence showing that pools of PtdIns-3-P can be generated upon cellular stimulation in compartments different from the "classical" endosomal region. We describe several proteins that can be targets in mediating signals deriving from such stimulated PtdIns-3-P pools. In addition we describe the potential mechanism of switching on and off such signals. Taken together all this evidence suggest a novel, key role for PtdIns-3-P in signal transduction.

Abstract
Statins are powerful agents for lowering plasma cholesterol levels, which act by inhibition of the 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase. Evidence suggests that some of the beneficial effects may depend on their anti-inflammatory properties, due to their ability to suppress the synthesis of isoprenoids. The present study analyzes the effects of short-term simvastatin exposure on monocyte migration, cell adhesion, and endothelial cytoskeleton. We demonstrate that simvastatin completely inhibited the migration of THP-1 monocytic cells after 24 h of incubation, being prevented by coincubation with mevalonate (MVA) and geranylgeranylpyrophosphate (GGPP), but not by farnesylpyrophosphate (FPP). Simvastatin decreased chemotaxis to 70% after one hour of incubation; surprisingly neither MVA, GGPP nor FPP were able to restore the effects of the drug. Simvastatin also significantly reduced the adhesion of monocytes to interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta)-activated endothelium to 80% after preincubation for 24 h. This effect was completely reversed by coincubation with MVA and GGPP, and partially with FPP. Unexpectedly, simvastatin increased adhesion molecules expression VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 on cytokine-stimulated endothelial cells. Examination of the actin cytoskeleton on IL-1beta-activated endothelial cells showed that both 4 and 24 h of incubation with simvastatin produced a complete disappearance of F-actin, being completely restored by MVA and partially by GGPP and FPP after 24 h of coincubation. We suggest that cytoskeleton disorganization in endothelial cells is important for inhibiting monocyte adhesion, altering the adhesion molecules function. Taken together, these results strongly support the beneficial anti-inflammatory properties of statins, contributing to the overall clinical effects.

Abstract
We demonstrated previously that membrane depolarization and excitatory receptor agonists such as noradrenaline induce Ca2+-dependent Rho activation in VSM (vascular smooth muscle), resulting in MP (myosin phosphatase) inhibition through the mechanisms involving Rho kinase-mediated phosphorylation of its regulatory subunit MYPT1. In the present study, we show in de-endothelialized VSM strips that the PI3K (phosphoinositide 3-kinase) inhibitors LY294002 and wortmannin inhibited KCl membrane depolarization- and noradrenaline-induced Rho activation and MYPT1 phosphorylation, with concomitant inhibition of MLC (20-kDa myosin light chain) phosphorylation and contraction. LY294002 also augmented de-phosphorylation of MLC and resultantly relaxation in KCl-contracted VSM, whereas LY294002 was much less effective or ineffective under the conditions in which MP was inhibited by either a phosphatase inhibitor or a phorbol ester in Rho-independent manners. VSM express at least four PI3K isoforms, including the class I enzymes p110alpha and p110beta and the class II enzymes PI3K-C2alpha and -C2beta. The dose-response relationships of PI3K-inhibitor-induced inhibition of Rho, MLC phosphorylation and contraction were similar to that of PI3K-C2alpha inhibition, but not to that of the class I PI3K inhibition. Moreover, KCl and noradrenaline induced stimulation of PI3K-C2alpha in a Ca2+-dependent manner, but not of p110alpha or p110beta. Down-regulation of PI3K-C2alpha expression by siRNA (small interfering RNA) inhibited contraction and phosphorylation of MYPT1 and MLC in VSM cells. Finally, intravenous wortmannin infusion induced sustained hypotension in rats, with inhibition of PI3K-C2alpha activity, GTP-loading of Rho and MYPT1 phosphorylation in the artery. These results indicate the novel role of PI3K-C2alpha in Ca2+-dependent Rho-mediated negative control of MP and thus VSM contraction.

Abstract
In the nuclear matrix harvested 20 h after partial hepatectomy, an increase in immunoprecipitable PI3K-C2beta activity is observed, which is sensitive to wortmannin (10 Mm) and shows strong preference for PtdIns over PtdIns(4)P as a substrate. On western blots PI3K-C2beta revealed a single immunoreactive band of 180 kD, whereas 20 h after partial hepatectomy gel shift of 18kDa was noticed in the nuclear matrix, suggesting that observed activation of enzyme is achieved by proteolysis. As it is know that PI3K-C2alpha is associated with nuclear speckles [Didichenko SA, Thelen M. Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase C2alpha contains a nuclear localization sequence and associates with nuclear speckles. J Biol Chem 2001;276:48135-42.], the data presented in this report show that in the nuclear matrix PI3K-C2beta is activated during the compensatory liver growth, which clearly demonstrates that different class II PI3K enzymes have different subnuclear localization and therefore might have different intranuclear functions.

Abstract
The class II phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)-C2beta is recruited to polypeptide growth factor receptors following ligand stimulation. In contrast to the class I A p85/p110 heterodimers, this interaction is dependent upon proline residues present within the N-terminal sequence of the 3-phosphoinositide kinase. However, the mechanism by which PI3K-C2beta catalytic activity is regulated currently remains unknown. In many tumours, increased expression of ErbB receptors confers a poor prognosis. We demonstrate that increased expression of EGFR enhanced its association with PI3K-C2beta following stimulation with EGF. Deletion of the first proline rich region within the N-terminus precluded recruitment of PI3K-C2beta to activated EGFR. Although deletion of the first proline rich motif also rendered the enzyme catalytically inactive, further deletions (residues 1-148 and 1-261) that removed the second and third proline rich motifs increased kinase activity. These data confirm a regulatory role for the N-terminus of class II PI3K enzymes suggesting that catalytic activity is regulated by factors that associate with this region during recruitment to activated growth factor receptors. Using an N-terminal PI3K-C2beta-GST fusion protein, clathrin heavy chain was affinity purified from A431 cell lysates. Association of PI3K-C2beta with clathrin was confirmed by co-immunoprecipitation from cell lysates while intracellular co-localisation of PI3K-C2beta and clathrin was confirmed by confocal microscopy. Our findings demonstrate for the first time that the PI3K-C2beta isoform associates with clathrin and thus provides a link between receptor mediated intracellular signalling and clathrin coated vesicle transport.

Abstract
Phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) regulate an array of cellular processes and are comprised of three classes. Class I PI3Ks include the well-studied agonist-sensitive p110 isoforms; however, the functions of class II and III PI3Ks are less well characterized. Of the three class II PI3Ks, C2alpha and C2beta are widely expressed in many tissues, including the epidermis, while C2gamma is confined to the liver. In contrast to the class I PI3K p110alpha, which is expressed throughout the epidermis, C2beta was found to be localized in suprabasal cells, suggesting a potential role for C2beta in epidermal differentiation. Overexpressing C2beta in epidermal cells in vitro induced differentiation markers. To study a role for C2beta in tissue, we generated transgenic mice overexpressing C2beta in both suprabasal and basal epidermal layers. These mice lacked epidermal abnormalities. Mice deficient in C2beta were then generated by targeted gene deletion. C2beta knockout mice were viable and fertile and displayed normal epidermal growth, differentiation, barrier function, and wound healing. To exclude compensation by C2alpha, RNA interference was then used to knock down both C2alpha and C2beta in epidermal cells simultaneously. Induction of differentiation markers was unaffected in the absence of C2alpha and C2beta. These findings indicate that class II PI3Ks are not essential for epidermal differentiation.

Abstract
The biological and pathophysiological significance of class II phosphoinositide 3-kinase enzyme expression currently remains unclear. Using an in vitro scrape wound assay and time-lapse video microscopy, we demonstrate that cell motility is increased in cultures expressing recombinant PI3K-C2beta enzyme. In addition, overexpression of PI3K-C2beta transiently decreased cell adhesion, stimulated the formation of cytoplasmic processes, and decreased the rate of cell proliferation. Consistent with these observations, expression of PI3K-C2beta also decreased expression of alpha4 beta1 integrin subunits. Using asynchronous cultures, we show that endogenous PI3K-C2beta is present in lamellipodia of motile cells. When cells expressing recombinant PI3K-C2beta were plated onto fibronectin, cortical actin staining increased markedly and actin rich lamellipodia and filopodia became evident. Overexpression of a 2xFYVE(Hrs) domain fusion protein abolished this response demonstrating that the effect of PI3K-C2beta on the reorganization of actin filaments is dependent upon PtdIns3P. Finally, overexpression of PI3K-C2beta increased GTP loading of Cdc42. Our data demonstrates for the first time, that PI3K-C2beta plays a regulatory role in cell motility and that the mechanism by which it reorganizes the actin cytoskeleton is dependent upon PtdIns3P production.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositide (PtdIns) 3-kinase catalyzes the addition of a phosphate group to the 3'-position of phosphatidyl inositol. Accumulated evidence shows that PtdIns 3-kinase can provide a critical signal for cell proliferation, cell survival, membrane trafficking, glucose transport, and membrane ruffling. Mammalian PtdIns 3-kinases are divided into three classes based on structure and substrate specificity. A unique characteristic of class II PtdIns 3-kinases is the presence of both a phox homolog domain and a C2 domain at the C terminus. The biological function of the C2 domain of the class II PtdIns 3-kinases remains to be determined. We have determined the crystal structure of the mCPK-C2 domain, which is the first three-dimensional structural model of a C2 domain of class II PtdIns 3-kinases. Structural studies reveal that the mCPK-C2 domain has a typical anti-parallel beta-sandwich fold. Scrutiny of the surface of this C2 domain has identified three small, shallow sulfate-binding sites. On the basis of the structural features of these sulfate-binding sites, we have studied the lipid binding properties of the mCPK-C2 domain by site-directed mutagenesis. Our results show that this C2 domain binds specifically to PtdIns(3,4)P(2) and PtdIns(4,5)P(2) and that three lysine residues at SBS I site, Lys-1420, Lys-1432, and Lys-1434, are responsible for the phospholipid binding affinity.

Abstract
Phosphoinositide 3-kinase C2alpha (PI3K-C2alpha) is a member of the class II PI-3 kinases, defined by the presence of a second C2 domain at their C termini. The cellular functions of the class II enzymes are incompletely understood, though they have been implicated in receptor activation pathways initiated by epidermal growth factor, insulin, and chemokines. PI3K-C2alpha was recently found to be localized to clathrin-coated membranes in the trans-Golgi network and at endocytic sites on the plasma membrane. Further, a specific binding site was identified for clathrin on the N terminus of PI3K-C2alpha, whose occupancy resulted in lipid kinase activation. Expression of PI3K-C2alpha in cells dramatically affected clathrin distribution and function in cells, leading to accumulation of intracellular clathrin-coated structures, which are visualized here at the ultrastructural level, and inhibition of clathrin-mediated transport from both the plasma membrane and the trans-Golgi network. In this study we have demonstrated that the isolated clathrin binding domain of PI3K-C2alpha can drive clathrin lattice assembly and that both it and the lipid kinase activity of the protein can independently modulate clathrin distribution and function when expressed in cells. Together, these results suggest that PI3K-C2alpha employs both protein-protein interaction and localized production of 3-phosphoinositides to affect clathrin dynamics at sites of membrane budding and targeting.

Abstract
Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) is important in attracting monocytes to sites of inflammation. Besides induction of monocyte recruitment, MCP-1 can also affect chemotactic response of endothelial cells. The molecular mechanisms involved in MCP-1-induced cell migration are poorly understood. In the current investigation, we demonstrate activation of p42/44(ERK1/2) and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), phosphatydilinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) and Src-kinases in both monocytes and endothelial cells stimulated with MCP-1 in vitro. The response was rapid and time-dependent, detectable within 3 min of MCP-1 stimulation. MCP-1-induced phosphorylation of p42/44(ERK1/2) MAPKs was partially blocked by inhibitor of PI3K LY294002, while phosphorylation of p38 MAPK was diminished to a greater extent in presence of Src-kinase inhibitor PP2. There was a substantial inhibition of monocyte migration upon treatment with inhibitors of p38 MAPK, at the same time inhibition of p42/44(ERK1/2) MAPK activation had no effect. On the contrary, the MCP-1-stimulated chemotaxis of endothelial cells was completely abolished by inhibitors of PI3K and p42/44(ERK1/2), but not by p38 MAPK inhibitors. These results suggest that parallel signal transduction pathways are activated by MCP-1, and that depending on the cell type these pathways differentially contribute to cell chemotactic activity.

Abstract
Chemokines, in addition to their chemotactic properties, act upon resident cells within a tissue and mediate other cellular functions. In a previous study, we demonstrated that CCL2 protects cultured mouse neonatal cardiac myocytes from hypoxia-induced cell death. Leukocyte chemotaxis has been shown to contribute to ischemic injury. While the chemoattractant properties of CCL2 have been established, the protective effects of this chemokine suggest a novel role for CCL2 in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury. The present study examined the cellular signaling pathways that promote this protection. Treatment of cardiac myocyte cultures with CCL2 protected them from hypoxia-induced apoptosis. This protection was not mediated through the activation of G(alphai) signaling that mediates monocyte chemotaxis. Inhibition of the ERK1/2 signaling pathway abrogated CCL2 protection. Caspase 3 activation and JNK/SAPK phosphorylation were decreased in hypoxic myocytes co-treated with CCL2 as compared to hypoxia only-treated cultures. Expression of the Bcl-2 family proteins, Bcl-xL and Bag-1, was increased in CCL2-treated myocytes subjected to hypoxia. There was also downregulation of Bax protein levels as a result of CCL2 co-treatment. These data suggest that CCL2 cytoprotection and chemotaxis may occur through distinct signaling mechanisms.

Abstract
The SH2 domain-containing inositol polyphosphate 5-phosphatase (SHIP) is known to play an important role in the negative regulation by FcgammaRIIB of PI3K-dependent signaling cascades activated by the B cell antigen receptor (BCR) as well as several tyrosine-kinase coupled cytokine receptors. However, to date the role of SHIP in the regulation of PI3K-dependent signals elicited by G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) such as chemokine receptors has not been investigated. In this study, we report that ligation of the G-protein-coupled chemokine receptor CXCR4 by SDF-1/CXCL12 has no effect on the tyrosine phosphorylation of SHIP in the murine B cell lymphoma A20. However, co-ligation of the B cell antigen receptor and FcgammaRIIB inhibits the PI3K-dependent phosphorylation of PKB and ERK1/2 in response to CXCL12. We have also utilised a constitutively active membrane-localised SHIP mutant expressed in the Jurkat leukaemic T cell line (which do not normally express SHIP), in order to investigate the effect of this mutant on CXCL12 stimulated PI3K-dependent signaling events. Experiments have revealed that CXCL12-mediated PKB phosphorylation, chemotaxis and lipid accumulation are inhibited in the presence of this SHIP mutant. Thus, it appears that heterologous activation of SHIP by non-G-protein-coupled receptor-mediated routes can impinge on PI3K-dependent signaling pathways activated by independently ligated G-protein-coupled chemokine receptors.

Abstract
Monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), a potent chemoattractant for monocytes, is thought to play a major role in atherosclerosis, but whether its atherogenic effects involve the direct modulation of vascular smooth muscle cell (SMC) functions remains unclear. This study examined the effects of MCP-1 on the migration of cultured A7r5 SMCs and the signaling pathways involved. Addition of recombinant MCP-1 stimulated SMC migration in modified Boyden chambers coated with type I collagen in a concentration-dependent manner, with 10(-9) M being maximally effective. Using untreated A7r5 cells, two MCP-1 receptors, CCR2 and CCR4, were detected and MCP-1 secretion was significantly increased by stimulation with platelet-derived growth factor. MCP-1-stimulated A7r5 migration was completely blocked by the NAD(P)H oxidase inhibitor, diphenylene iodonium (DPI), and dose-dependently inhibited by polyethylene glycol-conjugated superoxide dismutase (PEG-SOD), suggesting a role for reactive oxygen species (ROS) in this process. During MCP-1 stimulation, ROS production increased rapidly, then gradually decayed over 60 min, and this effect was markedly decreased by pretreatment with DPI or PEG-SOD. Interestingly, U0126 and PD98059, which inhibit activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1/2 (ERK 1/2), significantly inhibited MCP-1-activated ROS generation. Furthermore, transfection of an active mutant of MEK1 (ERK 1/2 kinase) markedly increased superoxide production in rat aortic smooth muscle cells, as detected by dihydroethydium staining, suggesting that ERK 1/2 activation stimulates ROS generation. ERK 1/2 activation was increased for at least 30 min in cells incubated with MCP-1, and this effect was abolished by U0126 or DPI pretreatment. These results demonstrate that MCP-1 is a chemoattractant for SMCs and that MCP-1-stimulated migration requires both ROS production and ERK 1/2 activation in a positive activation loop, which may contribute to the atherogenic effects of MCP-1.

Abstract
The lipid products of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) are involved in many cellular responses such as proliferation, migration, and survival. Disregulation of PI3K-activated pathways is implicated in different diseases including cancer and diabetes. Among the three classes of PI3Ks, class I is the best characterized, whereas class II has received increasing attention only recently and the precise role of these isoforms is unclear. Similarly, the role of phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate (PtdIns-3-P) as an intracellular second messenger is only just beginning to be appreciated. Here, we show that lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) stimulates the production of PtdIns-3-P through activation of a class II PI3K (PI3K-C2β). Both PtdIns-3-P and PI3K-C2β are involved in LPA-mediated cell migration. This study is the first identification of PtdIns-3-P and PI3K-C2β as downstream effectors in LPA signaling and demonstration of an intracellular role for a class II PI3K. Defining this novel PI3K-C2β–PtdIns-3-P signaling pathway may help clarify the process of cell migration and may shed new light on PI3K-mediated intracellular events.

Abstract
Cell signalling mediators derived from membrane phospholipids are frequent participants in biological processes. The family of phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) phosphorylate the membrane lipid phosphatidylinositol, generating second messengers that direct diverse responses. These PI3K products are fundamental for leukocyte migration or chemotaxis, a pivotal event during the immune response. This system is therefore of significant biomedical interest. This review focuses on the biochemistry and signalling pathways of PI3K, with particular emphasis on chemokine (chemotactic cytokine)-directed responses. The key objectives of chemotaxis are motility and direction. The latter--direction--requires distinct events at the front and back of a cell. In light of this, the coordinated localisation of signalling factors, an event choreographed by a sharp intracellular gradient of PI3K-derived products, is a common theme.

Abstract
Phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) have known to be key enzymes activating intracellular signaling molecules when a number of growth factors bind to their cell surface receptors. PI3Ks are divided into three classes (I, II, and III) and enzymes of each class have different tissue-specificities and physiological functions. Class II PI3Ks consist of three isoforms (alpha,beta,gamma). Although the alpha-isoform (PI3K-C2alpha) is considered ubiquitous and preferentially activated by insulin rather than the beta-isoform, the physiological significance of PI3K-C2alpha is poorly understood. The present study aimed to determine whether PI3K-C2alpha is associated with the suppression of apoptotic cell death. Different sense- and antisense oligonucleotides (ODNs) were synthesized based on the sequence of C2 domain of PI3K-C2alpha gene. Transfection of CHO-IR cells with two different antisense ODNs clearly reduced the protein content as well as mRNA levels of PI3K-C2alpha whereas neither the nonspecific mock- nor sense ODNs affected. The decrease of PI3K-C2alpha gene expression was paralleled by cellular changes indicating apoptotic cell death such as nuclear condensation, formation of apoptotic bodies, and DNA fragmentation. PI3K-C2alpha mRNA levels were also reduced when cells were incubated in growth factor-deficient medium. Supplementing growth factors (serum or insulin) into medium lead to an increase of PI3K-C2alpha mRNA levels. This finding strongly suggests that PI3K-C2alpha is a crucial survival factor.

Abstract
The accumulation of circulating monocytes in the arterial wall is an early in atherosclerotic plaque formation. Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) promotes the migration of monocytes and would play a role in the development of atherosclerotic lesions. Searching for inhibitors of MCP-1-induced cell migration from natural sources, we isolated one active compound through active-guided fractionations from the MeOH extracts of Sophora flavescens Ait (Leguminosae). On the basis of spectral evidence, the structure of active compound was identified as kurarinone. It inhibited the migration of THP-1 cells induced by MCP-1 with IC50 value of 19.2 microg/mL. In addition, it inhibited the binding of MCP-1 to THP-1 cells and phosphorylation of p42/44 MARK.

Abstract
The organochlorine insecticide lindane is a known activator of neutrophil responses. In this work we delineated the biochemical pathways by which lindane stimulates neutrophil oxidant production. Plasma membrane GTPase activity was not stimulated by lindane, ruling out a role for lindane-induced activation of G-proteins or G-protein coupled receptors, whereas inhibition of phospholipase C inhibited lindane-induced oxidant production. Together these data pointed to phospholipase C as the direct target of lindane activation. Type I phosphoinositide 3-kinase was not significantly activated by lindane and an inhibitor of phosphoinositide 3-kinases inhibited oxidant production by only 40%. Thus, Type I phosphoinositide 3-kinase played a minor role, if any, in lindane-induced oxidant production. Lindane stimulated an increase in phosphatidylinositol phosphate suggesting a Type II or III phosphotidylinositol 3-kinase or phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase activity was also stimulated.

Abstract
Macrophage-derived chemokine (MDC/CC chemokine ligand 22 (CCL22)) mediates its cellular effects principally by binding to its receptor CCR4, and together they constitute a multifunctional chemokine/receptor system with homeostatic and inflammatory roles in the body. We report the CCL22-induced accumulation of phosphatidylinositol-(3,4,5)-trisphosphate (PI(3,4,5)P(3)) in the leukemic T cell line CEM. CCL22 also had the ability to chemoattract human Th2 cells and CEM cells in a pertussis toxin-sensitive manner. Although the PI(3,4,5)P(3) accumulation along with the pertussis toxin-susceptible phosphorylation of protein kinase B were sensitive to the two phosphoinositide 3-kinase inhibitors, LY294002 and wortmannin, cell migration was unaffected. However, cell migration was abrogated with the Rho-dependent kinase inhibitor, Y-27632. These data demonstrate that although there is PI(3,4,5)P(3) accumulation downstream of CCR4, phosphoinositide 3-kinase activity is a dispensable signal for CCR4-stimulated chemotaxis of Th2 cells and the CEM T cell line.

Abstract
The revolution in molecular imaging techniques is profoundly changing the understanding of the pathophysiology and treatment of atherosclerosis. With these rapid changes there is an increasing demand for development of sensitive and well tolerated novel imaging agents that can be rapidly translated from small animal models into patients with atherosclerosis. Nuclear medicine and positron emission tomography techniques have the ability to detect and serially monitor a variety of biologic and pathophysiologic processes usually with tracer quantities of radiolabeled peptides, drugs, and other molecules at dosages free of pharmacologic adverse effects unlike the current generation of intravenous agents required for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed axial tomography (CT) scanning. A representative sampling of the wide array of radiopharmaceuticals developed specifically for radionuclide imaging of atherosclerosis, that have been approved for clinical use and those in pre-clinical trials, have been reviewed in this article. The presence of an inflammatory stimulus increases expression of CC (cysteine-cysteine motif) chemokine receptor (CCR)-2 on monocytes and macrophages, and somatostatin receptors on T lymphocytes. Radiolabeled monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1 binds with high affinity to CCR-2 and can be used to detect subacute and chronic inflammatory lesions. Similarly, radiolabeled octreotide or depreotide can be used to detect activated T lymphocytes which may identify the vulnerable plaque. Animal models indicate that (99m)Tc-annexin V, (125)I-MCP-1 and [(18)F]-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose are effective in identifying apoptotic cell death, macrophage infiltration and metabolic activity in atheromatous lesions, respectively. Expression of alpha(v)beta(3) integrin is increased in activated endothelial cells and vascular smooth muscle cells after vascular injury, and alpha(v)beta(3) integrin is minimally expressed on smooth muscle cells and is not expressed on quiescent epithelial cells. Radiolabeled high-affinity peptides can be used to target the alpha(v)beta(3) integrin and visualize areas of vascular damage. Advances in technology such as the micro-single photon emission computed tomography (microSPECT) have the potential to overcome the drawbacks of older CT and MRI methodologies, such as lack of biologically relevant ligands and compatible blood pool contrast agents for imaging. Despite these advances in imaging technology, the small size of atheromatous lesions makes it difficult to detect using external imaging techniques. Therefore, recently there has been renewed interest in the use of intravascular catheter-based radiation detectors.

Abstract
AbstractThe control of dendritic cell (DC) migration is pivotal for the initiation of cellular immune responses. When activated with inflammatory stimuli, the chemokine receptor CCR7 is up-regulated on DCs. Activated DCs home to lymphoid organs, where the CCR7 ligands CCL19 and CCL21 are expressed. We previously found that human monocyte-derived DCs (MoDCs) exclusively migrated to CCL19 and CCL21 when matured in the presence of prostaglandin (PG) E2. Because PGE2 did not alter CCR7 cell surface expression, we examined whether PGE2 may exert its effect by coupling CCR7 to signal transduction modules. Indeed, stimulation with CCR7 ligands led to enhanced phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase–mediated phosphorylation of protein kinase B when MoDCs were matured in the presence of PGE2. Moreover, CCL19/CCL21-induced intracellular calcium mobilization in MoDCs occurred only when PGE2 was present during maturation. MoDC migration to CCL19 and CCL21 was dependent on phospholipase C and intracellular calcium flux but not on phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase. Hence, our data provide insight into CCL19/CCL21-triggered signal transduction pathways and identify a novel function for PGE2 in controlling the migration of mature MoDCs by facilitating CCR7 signal transduction.

Abstract
Phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) can be divided into three distinct classes (I, II, and III) on the basis of their domain structures and the lipid signals that they generate. Functions have been assigned to the class I and class III enzymes but have not been established for the class II PI3Ks. We have obtained the first evidence for a biological function for a class II PI3K by expressing this enzyme during Drosophila melanogaster development and by using deficiencies that remove the endogenous gene. Wild-type and catalytically inactive PI3K_68D transgenes have opposite effects on the number of sensory bristles and on wing venation phenotypes induced by modified epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor signaling. These results indicate that the endogenous PI3K_68D may act antagonistically to the EGF receptor-stimulated Ras-mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway and downstream of, or parallel to, the Notch receptor. A class II polyproline motif in PI3K_68D can bind the Drk adaptor protein in vitro, primarily via the N-terminal SH3 domain of Drk. Drk may thus be important for the localization of PI3K_68D, allowing it to modify signaling pathways downstream of cell surface receptors. The phenotypes obtained are markedly distinct from those generated by expression of the Drosophila class I PI3K, which affects growth but not pattern formation.

Abstract
Kupffer cells (KC) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) interaction is the initial event leading to hepatic inflammation and fibrosis in many types of liver injury. We studied chemokine secretion by KC activated with LPS and the possible effect of the somatostatin analogue octreotide, in the regulation of this process. KC isolated from Sprague-Dawley rats were cultured in the presence of LPS added alone or with different concentrations of octreotide for 24 and 48 h, and chemokine production was assessed in culture supernatants by ELISA. CC chemokine mRNA expression was assessed by semiquantitative RT-PCR. Vehicle-stimulated KC produced a basal amount of CC and CXC chemokines. LPS-stimulated KC secreted significantly increased amounts of IL-8 (GRO/CINC-1) (P<0.001), MIP-2 (P<0.001), MCP-1 (P<0.001), and RANTES (P<0.01). Octreotide inhibited LPS-induced secretion of the CC chemokines MCP-1 (P<0.05) and RANTES (P<0.05), but not the CXC chemokines IL-8 (GRO/CINC-1) and MIP-2, in a concentration-dependent manner. Downregulation of basal and LPS-induced mRNA expression of the CC chemokines was also observed in the presence of octreotide. Pretreatment with phosphatidylinositol 3 (PI3)-kinase inhibitors reduced chemokine production by LPS-treated KC in both the mRNA and protein level. Furthermore, it prevented the octreotide inhibitory effect on LPS-induced chemokine secretion, indicating a possible involvement of the PI3-kinase pathway. In conclusion, these data demonstrate that chemokine secretion by KC can be differentially regulated by octreotide, and suggest that this somatostatin analogue may have immunoregulatory effects on resident liver macrophages.

Abstract
It is proposed that a chemokine concentration gradient promotes vectorial leukocyte migration across the vascular endothelium during inflammation. In this study, monocyte migration across a model endothelial monolayer was assessed at defined time-points after the addition of MCP-1 (CCL2). At each time-point transendothelial migration was quantified, medium from the apical and basal surface was collected for ELISA and monolayers were stained to detect both heparan sulfate and MCP-1. Statistically significant monocyte migration was observed within 60 min of chemokine addition to the basal surface of the endothelium and an asymmetric distribution of MCP-1 across the monolayer was observed at all time-points. Dual color immunofluorescence analysis demonstrated that MCP-1 was focused into heparan sulfate-containing domains on the apical surface of some of the endothelial cells. Furthermore, no uniform concentration gradient of chemokine was observed within the space between adjacent endothelial cells with apical MCP-1 application resulting in a staining pattern identical to that observed after basal application. The addition of a functional, monomeric form of MCP-1 produced a staining pattern identical to that observed using the wild-type protein, suggesting that localized chemokine oligomerization is not responsible for generating the focal chemokine distribution. Together, these data suggest that apical presentation of concentrated, chemokine-containing domains provides sufficient stimulus to promote transendothelial leukocyte migration in the absence of the formation of a formal haptotactic concentration gradient between endothelial cells.

Abstract
Using a cDNA microarray analysis, we previously found that exposure of a highly invasive ovarian cancer cell line HRA with bikunin, a Kunitz-type protease inhibitor, or bikunin gene overexpression markedly reduced phosphoinositide kinase (PI3K) p85 gene expression, demonstrating that PI3K may be a candidate bikunin target gene. To clarify how reduced levels of PI3K may confer repressed invasiveness, we transfected HRA cells with PI3K p85 antisense-oligodeoxynucleotide (AS-ODN) and compared the properties of the transfected cells with those of parental cells and sense (S)-ODN cells. We have also demonstrated previously that transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) stimulates urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA)-dependent invasion and metastasis of HRA cells. Here, we show that 1) TGF-beta1 induced a rapid increase of the PI3K activity that was accompanied by increased expression (5-fold) of the uPA mRNA; 2) pharmacological inhibition of PI3K or AS-PI3K ODN transfection inhibited TGF-beta1-stimulated Akt phosphorylation; 3) both PI3K pharmacological inhibitors and forced expression of AS-PI3K ODN reduced TGF-beta1-stimulated uPA mRNA and protein expression by approximately 70% compared with controls; 4) concentrations of PI3K inhibitors, sufficient to inhibit uPA up-regulation, inhibited TGF-beta1-dependent HRA cell invasion; 5) the AS-PI3K ODN cells had a decreased ability to invade the extracellular matrix layer as compared with controls; and 6) when the AS-PI3K ODN cells were injected intraperitoneally into nude mice, the mice developed smaller intraperitoneal tumors and showed longer survival. We conclude that PI3K plays an essential role in promoting uPA-mediated invasive phenotype in HRA cells. Our data identify a novel role for PI3K as a bikunin target gene on uPA up-regulation and invasion.

Abstract
Background Growth factor, cytokine and chemokine-induced activation of PI3K enzymes constitutes the start of a complex signalling cascade, which ultimately mediates cellular activities such as proliferation, differentiation, chemotaxis, survival, trafficking, and glucose homeostasis. The PI3K enzyme family is divided into 3 classes; class I (subdivided into IA and IB), class II (PI3K-C2α, PI3K-C2β and PI3K-C2γ) and class III PI3K. Expression of these enzymes in human tissue has not been clearly defined. Methods In this study, we analysed the immunohistochemical topographical expression profile of class IA (anti-p85 adaptor) and class II PI3K (PI3K-C2α and PI3K-C2β) enzymes in 104 formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded normal adult human (age 33–71 years, median 44 years) tissue specimens including those from the gastrointestinal, genitourinary, hepatobiliary, endocrine, integument and lymphoid systems. Antibody specificity was verified by Western blotting of cell lysates and peptide blocking studies. Immunohistochemistry intensity was scored from undetectable to strong. Results PI3K enzymes were expressed in selected cell populations of epithelial or mesenchymal origin. Columnar epithelium and transitional epithelia were reactive but mucous secreting and stratified squamous epithelia were not. Mesenchymal elements (smooth muscle and endothelial cells) and glomerular epithelium were only expressed PI3K-C2α while ganglion cells expressed p85 and PI3K-C2β. All three enzymes were detected in macrophages, which served as an internal positive control. None of the three PI3K isozymes was detected in the stem cell/progenitor compartments or in B lymphocyte aggregates. Conclusions Taken together, these data suggest that PI3K enzyme distribution is not ubiquitous but expressed selectively in fully differentiated, non-proliferating cells. Identification of the normal in vivo expression pattern of class IA and class II PI3K paves the way for further analyses which will clarify the role played by these enzymes in inflammatory, neoplastic and other human disease conditions.

Abstract
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) initiate diverse down-stream signaling events in response to ligand stimulation, as rapid activation of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase ERK1 and ERK2. The chemokine monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) is the agonist for several chemokine receptors that belong to the GPCR superfamily, CCR2 being the most important. Stimulation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) by MCP-1 has been implicated in integrin activation and chemotaxis, but the molecular pathways down-stream of the receptors remain unclear. To dissect the cascade of events leading to MAPK activation upon CCR2 receptor stimulation, several specific inhibitors and mutants of signal transduction proteins were used in monocytic cells endogenously expressing CCR2 and/or in human embryonic kidney-293 cells transfected with CCR2B receptors and epitope-tagged ERK1. We show that ERK activation by MCP-1 involves heterotrimeric Gi protein subunits, protein kinase C, phosphoinositide-3-kinase, and Ras. On the other hand, the activity of cytosolic tyrosine kinases, epidermal growth factor receptor transactivation, or variations in intracellular calcium levels are not required for the mitogenic activation elicited by MCP-1. In addition, we find that internalization of CCR2B itself is not necessary for efficient MCP-1-induced activation of ERK, although a dynamin mutant partially inhibits ERK stimulation. These results suggest that different parallel pathways are being activated that lead to the full activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase cascade and that internalization of other signaling proteins but not of the receptor is required for complete ERK activation.

Abstract
Phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) are a family of lipid kinases essential for diverse physiological reactions. In recent years a series of gene-targeted mice lacking different types of PI3Ks and related molecules have been generated which enable us to understand the role of PI3K pathways, particularly class I members, in vivo. Analyses of such gene-targeted mice have led to major discoveries in the physiological roles of PI3K signaling in mast cell biology. In particular the role of PI3Ks has been extensively studied in signaling through the high-affinity IgE receptor (FcepsilonRI), since mast cells are the main effector cells in type I allergic reaction associated with IgE-dependent mechanisms. Furthermore, the knockout mice have provided significant information concerning the role of PI3K signals in mast cell differentiation. This review presents several new insights into mast cell biology, which have been elucidated by the analyses of these knockout mice.

Abstract
Monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) is important in attracting monocytes to sites of inflammation. Using predominantly pharmacological approaches, prior studies have indicated that serine/threonine kinases are involved in the MCP-1-induced signaling pathways. We report here that there is substantial inhibition of MCP-1-stimulated chemotaxis of human monocytes treated with inhibitors selective for the subset of serine/threonine kinases, protein kinase C (PKC). Selective inhibitors of PKC such as GF109203X and Calphostin C both caused approximately 80% inhibition of chemotaxis. Because these pharmacological inhibitors do not specifically inhibit individual PKC isoforms, we chose to use antisense oligodeoxyribonucleotides (ODN) to specifically reduce PKC isoform expression, first by inhibiting expression of the conventional PKC family, and next by using specific antisense ODN for PKCalpha and PKCbeta. Conventional PKC-antisense ODN treatment completely and significantly inhibited monocyte chemotaxis to MCP-1, whereas sense-control ODN caused no significant inhibition. PKCbeta-antisense ODN caused 89.2% inhibition of chemotaxis at its highest dose. In contrast, PKCbeta-sense ODN and PKCalpha-antisense and -sense ODN were without effect. Further studies evaluating the calcium response that is triggered upon MCP-1 interaction with its receptor, CCR2, indicate that this response is not altered by antisense or sense ODN treatment, thus supporting our hypothesis that PKCbeta is critical for post-receptor signal transduction downstream of the immediate calcium signal. These data contribute to our developing understanding of the signal transduction pathways involved in the chemotactic response of human monocytes to MCP-1 and uniquely identify the requirement for the PKCbeta isoform in this important process.

Abstract
The HIV-1 envelope protein gp120IIIB is selective for the CXCR4 chemokine receptor and has been shown to induce apoptosis in neurons both in vivo and in vitro. We examined the ability of gp120IIIB to signal through the rat CXCR4 (rCXCR4) receptor and its dependence on the presence of the human CD4 (hCD4) protein in a number of cell systems. SDF-1alpha potently inhibited N-type Ca channels in cultured HEK293 cells expressing both the Ca channel subunits and rCXCR4 receptors. However, gp120IIIB was ineffective in producing either Ca channel inhibition or in blocking the effects of SDF-1alpha. However, when hCD4 was coexpressed with rCXCR4 and Ca channel subunits, gp120IIIB also produced Ca channel inhibition. Similarly, in PC12 cells transfected with the rCXCR4, SDF-1alpha produced mobilization of intracellular Ca, while gp120IIIB was only effective when hCD4 was coexpressed. SDF-1alpha induced endocytosis of Yellow Fluorescent Protein (YFP)-tagged rCXCR4 expressed in PC12 cells, as did gp120IIIB, an effect which was enhanced by hCD4 coexpression. When tagged rCXCR4 was expressed in F-11 cells or in rat DRG neurons, SDF-1alpha produced extensive receptor endocytosis. However, the ability of gp120IIIB to produce endocytosis was dependent on the coexpression of hCD4. Our results demonstrate that the degree of hCD4 dependence of the agonist effects of gp120IIIB at the rCXCR4 receptor is cell-type specific.

Abstract
The class II PI 3-kinases are known to be activated by growth factors and chemokines but to date there are no reports of cytokine mediated regulation. Further, the intracellular signalling mechanisms regulating the class-II PI 3-kinases are poorly understood. We investigated the effects of the cytokines TNFalpha and leptin on the activity of the alpha isoform of the class II PI 3-kinase (PI3K-C2alpha) and find that these stimulate the enzyme 2-fold and 3-fold, in CHO cells and J774.2 macrophages, respectively. The stimulation by leptin was not accompanied by recruitment of any tyrosine phosphorylated proteins to PI3K-C2alpha and no shift in electrophoretic mobility was noted. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the actions of both cytokines are blocked by the MEK inhibitor PD98059. These findings indicate that the cytokines activate PI3K-C2alpha and do so by a mechanism that requires activation of the ERK pathway and thus differs from the mechanism used by insulin to activate the enzyme.

Abstract
Stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) and its receptor CXCR4 are a multifunctional chemokine/receptor system with essential roles in the development of the immune system and other aspects of embryogenesis, including vascularization and organ development. SDF-1 is also a potent chemoattractant for T cells and has roles in both inflammation and immune homeostasis. Our group has previously demonstrated that phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) is activated in SDF-1-stimulated T cells and is indeed required for SDF-1-mediated chemotaxis. In this study Jurkat clones were established, stably expressing dominant negative constructs of class IA and class IB PI 3-kinases under the control of the tetracycline off inducible gene system, to determine the relative roles of these PI 3-kinases in SDF-1 signaling. Our results show that expression of either kinase-dead PI3Kgamma (KD-PI3Kgamma) or Deltap85 (a construct unable to bind class I(A) p110alpha, -beta, or -delta) leads to a partial inhibition of SDF-1-stimulated protein kinase B phosphorylation, but had no effect on SDF-1-induced phosphorylation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase ERK1/2. Functional studies demonstrated that expression of KD-PI3Kgamma markedly inhibited SDF-1-mediated chemotaxis, typically eliciting 40-60% inhibition. Interestingly, the expression of Deltap85 also leads to inhibition of the SDF-1-mediated chemotactic response, albeit to a much lesser extent than achieved with the KD-PI3Kgamma mutant, typically in the range of 20-40% inhibition. Furthermore, the inhibition of chemotaxis by the expression of dominant negative class IA or class IB PI 3-kinases could be enhanced by the presence of the PI 3-kinase inhibitor LY294002. Together, these results demonstrate that optimal chemotactic response of leukemic T cells to SDF-1 requires the activation of both class IA and class IB PI 3-kinases.

Abstract
The activity of nuclear phosphoinositide 3-kinase C2beta (PI3K-C2beta) was investigated in HL-60 cells blocked by aphidicolin at G(1)/S boundary and allowed to progress synchronously through the cell cycle. The activity of immunoprecipitated PI3K-C2beta in the nuclei and nuclear envelopes showed peak activity at 8 h after release from the G(1)/S block, which correlates with G(2)/M phase of the cell cycle. In the nuclei and nuclear envelopes isolated from HL-60 cells at 8 h after release from G(1)/S block, a significant increase in the level of incorporation of radiolabeled phosphate into phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PtdIns(3)P) was observed with no change in the level of radiolabeled PtdIns(4)P, PtdIns(4,5)P(2) and PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3). On Western blots, PI3K-C2beta revealed a single immunoreactive band of 180 kDa, whereas in the nuclei and nuclear envelopes isolated at 8 h after release, the gel shift of 18 kDa was observed. When nuclear envelopes were treated for 20 min with mu-calpain in vitro, the similar gel shift and increase in PI3K-C2beta activity was observed which was completely inhibited by pretreatment with calpain inhibitor calpeptin. The presence of PI3K inhibitor LY 294002 completely abolished the calpain-mediated increase in the activity of PI3K-C2beta but did not prevent the gel shift. When HL-60 cells were released from G(1)/S block in the presence of either calpeptin or LY 294002, the activation of nuclear PI3K-C2beta was completely inhibited. These results demonstrate the calpain-mediated activation of the nuclear PI3K-C2beta during G(2)/M phase of the cell cycle in HL-60 cells.

Abstract
A combination of pharmacological, biochemical, molecular and genetic evidence supports a key role for phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) and its associated signalling cascade in cell migration in response to members of the chemokine family. PI3Ks can be divided into three main classes on the basis of their in vitro lipid substrate specificity, structure and likely mode of regulation. The prototypical class I PI3Ks are heterodimers consisting of the class I(A) 85-kDa regulatory/adaptor subunit and a catalytic 110-kDa subunit and the class I(B) PI3K (PI3Kgamma), which is stimulated by G protein betagamma subunits. Whilst genetic evidence supports a key role for PI3Kgamma in mediating chemotactic responses, it is clear that other PI3K isoforms can be activated by chemokines and can potentially contribute to the chemotactic responses to chemokines. In order to get a more accurate picture of the precise role of individual PI3Ks in functional responses to chemokines, we report development of tetracycline-inducible dominant-negative constructs of the class I(A) and class I(B) PI3Ks and their expression in the leukemic T cell line Jurkat. SDF-1/CXCR4-mediated chemotaxis of Jurkat cells is strongly, but incompletely abrogated (e.g. approximately 60-70%) in clones expressing the dominant-negative PI3Kgamma construct. Interestingly, Jurkat cells expressing a dominant-negative mutant of class I(A) PI3K also exhibited marked abrogation of chemotactic responses to SDF-1, albeit to lesser extent (e.g. approximately 30-40% inhibition) than observed with the class I(B) mutant. These data suggests that both class I(A) and class I(B) isoforms can contribute to chemotactic responses, and both are required for optimal migratory responses to SDF-1. Furthermore, neither isoform alone is able to support optimal migration in the absence of the other. This may reflect an important interplay between the two different forms of PI3K that has yet to be fully elucidated. The use of inducible expression systems such as that described here will be an important approach in assessing the role of not only individual PI3Ks, but also their downstream effector proteins, in supporting actin polymerisation and cytoskeletal rearrangements as well as chemotaxis and adhesion molecule up-regulation.

Abstract
Constitutive activation of the transcription factor nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) plays a major role in inflammatory diseases as well as cancer by inducing the endogenous expression of many proinflammatory proteins such as chemokines, and facilitating escape from apoptosis. The constitutive expression of chemokines such as CXCL1 has been correlated with growth, angiogenesis, and metastasis of cancers such as melanoma. The transcription of CXCL1 is regulated through interactions of NF-κB with other transcriptional regulatory molecules such as poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) and cAMP response element binding protein (CREB)-binding protein (CBP). It has been proposed that these two proteins interact with NF-κB and other enhancers to form an enhanceosome at the promoter region of CXCL1 and modulate CXCL1 transcription. In addition to these positive cofactors, a negative regulator, CAAT displacement protein (CDP), may also be involved in the transcriptional regulation of CXCL1. It has been postulated that the elevated expression of CXCL1 in melanomas is due to altered interaction between these molecules. CDP interaction with the promoter down-regulates transcription, whereas PARP and/or CBP interactions enhance transcription. Thus, elucidation of the interplay between components of the enhanceosome of this gene is important in finding more efficient and new therapies for conditions such as cancer as well as acute and chronic inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
We analyzed differences in the transendothelial migration (TEM) ability of T-helper (Th)-1 and Th2 cells across a murine endothelial cell line (F-2) under static conditions. The TEM abilities of Th1 cells from mice bearing autoimmune diseases and antigen-specific Th1 cell lines were severalfold higher than those of Th2 cells and lines of the same origin. These preferences were observed without exogenous chemoattractant and were insensitive to pertussis toxin, which completely blocks TEM induced by exogenous chemoattractants. Antibodies against LFA-1 and ICAM-1 as well as CD44 markedly blocked the TEM of Th1 cells. TEM ability was also blocked by pharmacological inhibitors of Src family protein-tyrosine kinases (PP2 and herbimycin A), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (wortmannin), and phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (). Cross-linking of CD44 strongly induced highly elongated morphology in Th1 lines, but weakly in Th2 lines. The pharmacological inhibitors that blocked TEM also inhibited this morphological change, whereas pertussis toxin did not. These data indicate that there are signaling pathways for TEM independent of chemokine attraction, but through adhesion molecules including CD44, and that the preferential TEM ability of Th1 over Th2 cells is formed, at least in part, by intrinsic differences in these pathways.

Abstract
Although monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) is best known for its ability to recruit mononuclear cells, few studies have examined the effects of this chemokine on other events in the vascular response to injury. The purpose of the present study was to determine the influence of MCP-1 on human vascular smooth muscle (VSMC) proliferation. MCP-1 induced concentration-dependent VSMC proliferation as measured by bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) uptake. Direct cell counting demonstrated a twofold increase in VSMC after stimulation with MCP-1. This mitogenic effect was similar to that observed with the prototypical atherogenic cytokine platelet-derived growth factor. Immunohistochemistry and Western blot analysis revealed that MCP-1 increased both proliferating nuclear cell antigen and cyclin A expression. Whereas MCP-1 did not promote nuclear factor-kappaB activation, MCP-1-induced VSMC proliferation appeared to be dependent on phosphotidylinositol 3-kinase activation. In conclusion, MCP-1 directly induces VSMC growth, which is associated with activation of cell cycle proteins and intracellular proliferative signals. Within the inflammatory paradigm of vascular remodeling, these data suggest that MCP-1 is more than simply a chemokine but also a potent mitogen for VSMC proliferation.

Abstract
With the emergence of the new field of molecular imaging, there is an increasing demand for development of sensitive and safe novel imaging agents that can be rapidly translated from small animal models into patients. Nuclear medicine and positron emission tomography (PET) techniques have the ability to detect and serially monitor a variety of biologic and pathophysiologic processes, usually with tracer quantities of radiolabeled peptides, drugs, and other molecules at doses free of pharmacologic side effects, unlike the current generation of intravenous agents required for magnetic resonance (MR) and computed tomography (CT) scanning. In this article, we will review a representative sampling of the wide array of radiopharmaceuticals developed specifically for nuclear medicine radionuclide imaging that have been approved for clinical use, and those in pre-clinical trials. We will also review the existing strategies used to select the appropriate biologic markers and targets for radionuclide labeling that have been employed in the development of novel radiotracers and the imaging of small animals with new microSPECT (single photon emission computed tomography) technologies.

Abstract
The involvement of phosphoinositide 3-kinase C2alpha in vascular smooth muscle cell migration was investigated. Products of phosphoinositide 3-kinase, phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate, and phosphatidylinositol-3,4-bis-phosphate were increased upon smooth muscle cell migration but their synthesis was affected only partially by phosphoinositide 3-kinase inhibitors, wortmannin and LY-294002. Using specific antibody, we showed that the wortmannin/LY-294002 poorly sensitive phosphoinositide 3-kinase C2alpha is expressed in smooth muscle cells. Measurement of phosphoinositide 3-kinase C2alpha activity in vitro, after immunoprecipitation, clearly demonstrated its activation upon smooth muscle cell migration. Moreover, for the first time, phosphoinositide 3-kinase C2alpha was found to be differentially regulated by alpha(v)beta(3) and alpha(v)beta(5) integrin engagement. Finally, we have identified two new potential phosphoinositide 3-kinase C2alpha-binding proteins, p70 and p110, which both may be tyrosine phosphorylated. Thus, phosphoinositide 3-kinase C2alpha might represent a new regulatory pathway of cell migration downstream of integrin engagement.

Abstract
Upon stimulation of renal cortical slices with hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), inositol lipid metabolism was studied in basal-lateral plasma membranes (BLM) and brush-border plasma membranes (BBM). Whereas in BLM rapid increases in 1,2-diacylglycerol, PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) and PtdIns(3,4)P(2) were observed, suggesting that in BLM HGF activates both phospholipase C (PLC) and phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), in BBM only HGF-induced transient accumulation of PtdIns3P was seen, which was temporarily delayed from signalling events in BLM and could be blocked by the PtdIns-specific-PLC inhibitor ET-18-OCH(3) and the calpain inhibitor calpeptin, suggesting that 3-kinase activation in BBM lies downstream of PLC activation in BLM and is a calpain-mediated event. Moreover, the increase in immunoprecipitable PI3K-C2 beta activity, which is sensitive to wortmannin (10 nM) and shows strong preference for PtdIns over PtdIns4P as a substrate, was observed only in BBM upon stimulation of renal cortical slices with HGF and could be mimicked by the Ca(2+) ionophore A23187 and blocked by the cell-penetrant Ca(2+) chelator BAPTA-AM [1,2-bis-(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetra-acetic acid tetrakis(acetoxymethyl ester)]. On Western blots PI3K-C2 beta revealed a single immunoreactive band of 180 kDa in BLM and BBM, while after stimulation with HGF a gel shift of 18 kDa was noticed only in BBM, suggesting that the observed enzyme activation is achieved by proteolysis. When BBM were subjected to short-term (15 min) exposure to mu-calpain, a similar gel shift together with an increase in PI3K-C2 beta activity was observed, when compared with the BBM harvested after HGF stimulation. The above-mentioned gel shift and increase in PI3K-C2 beta activity could be prevented by the calpain inhibitor calpeptin. The data presented in this report show that in renal cells there is a spatial separation of the inositol lipid signalling system between BLM and BBM, and that HGF causes activation of PLC and PI3K primarily in BLM, which leads to calpain-mediated activation of PI3K-C2 beta in BBM with a concomitant increase in PtdIns3P.

Abstract
Stromal cell-derived factor 1alpha (CXCL12) induces chemotaxis of lymphocytes through its receptor CXCR4. We examined the role of nonreceptor tyrosine kinases in CXCL12-induced chemotaxis of T cells and natural killer (NK) cells. Damnacanthal, a specific Lck inhibitor, but not the Syk inhibitor piceatannol, inhibited CXCL12-induced chemotaxis of both lymphocyte subsets. Similarly, damnacanthal was shown to inhibit CXCL12-induced chemotaxis of the Jurkat T-cell line. Stimulating T and NK cells with CXCL12 increased both the tyrosine phosphorylation and the kinase activity of Lck. A direct involvement of Lck in CXCL12-induced chemotaxis was demonstrated in the Lck-deficient Jurkat-derived cell line JCaM1.6. Although JCaM1.6 cells express CXCR4, no significant migration was detected after CXCL12 stimulation. Reconstitution with wild-type Lck restored both CXCL12-induced chemotaxis and Lck activation. Furthermore, cotransfection of wild-type Lck with C-terminal Src kinase (Csk) into JCaM1.6 failed to restore the chemotactic response induced by CXCL12. Finally, by targeting critical residues in the Src homology-2 (SH2) or SH3 domains of Lck, we observed that the SH3 domain is important for the function of Lck in CXCL12-mediated chemotaxis. Together, these results suggest a role for Lck in CXCL12-induced signaling pathways leading to lymphocyte chemotaxis.

Abstract
Chemokines modulate leukocyte integrin avidity to coordinate adhesion and subsequent transendothelial migration, although the sequential signaling pathways involved remain poorly characterized. Here we show that integrin-linked kinase (ILK), a 59-kDa serine-threonine protein kinase that interacts principally with beta(1) integrins, is highly expressed in human mononuclear cells and is activated by exposure of leukocytes to the chemokine monocyte chemoattractant protein-1. Biochemical inhibitor studies show that chemokine-triggered activation of ILK is downstream of phosphoinositide 3-kinase. In functional assays under physiologically relevant flow conditions, overexpression of wild-type ILK in human monocytic cells diminishes beta(1) integrin/vascular cell adhesion molecule-1-dependent firm adhesion to human endothelial cells. These data implicate ILK in the dynamic signaling events involved in the regulation of leukocyte integrin avidity for endothelial substrates.

Abstract
The 3-phosphorylated inositol lipids fulfill roles as second messengers by interacting with the lipid binding domains of a variety of cellular proteins. Such interactions can affect the subcellular localization and aggregation of target proteins, and through allosteric effects, their activity. Generation of 3-phosphoinositides has been documented to influence diverse cellular pathways and hence alter a spectrum of fundamental cellular activities. This review is focused on the 3-phosphoinositide lipids, the synthesis of which is acutely triggered by extracellular stimuli, the enzymes responsible for their synthesis and metabolism, and their cell biological roles. Much knowledge has recently been gained through structural insights into the lipid kinases, their interaction with inhibitors, and the way their 3-phosphoinositide products interact with protein targets. This field is now moving toward a genetic dissection of 3-phosphoinositide action in a variety of model organisms. Such approaches will reveal the true role of the 3-phosphoinositides at the organismal level in health and disease.

Abstract
Monocyte Chemoattractant Proteins (MCPs) form a distinct, structurally-related subclass of CC chemokines. They are major chemoattractants for monocytes and T lymphocytes. The MCPs bind to specific G-protein-coupled receptors, initiating a signal cascade within the cell. Though the signal transduction pathways involved in MCP-1-mediated chemotaxis have been studied, the signalling pathways through which MCP-2, -3 and -4 trigger cell migration are not established. In this study, we examined the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation elicited by the MCPs (1-4) and its specific role in chemotaxis. Within 2 min, the MCPs (1-4) elicited a rapid and transient activation of MAPK in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and in HEK-293 cells expressing CCR2b. U0126, an inhibitor of MAPK-kinase (MEK) activation, not only prevented extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) activation but also significantly inhibited the MCP-mediated chemotaxis. PI3K inhibitors Wortmannin and LY294002 also partially inhibited the MCP-induced chemotaxis. However, these compounds did not significantly inhibit ERK1/2 activation. As PI3K inhibitors partially inhibit the MCP-mediated chemotaxis but do not significantly effect ERK1/2 activation, these data suggest that co-ordinated action of distinct signal pathways is required to produce chemokine-mediated chemotaxis.
