Abstract
We presented a novel electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor for monitoring the activity and inhibition of protein kinases based on signal amplification using enzyme-functionalized Au NPs nanoprobe. In this design, the biotin-DNA labeled glucose oxidase/Au NPs (GOx/Au NPs/DNA-biotin) nanoprobes, prepared by conjugating Au NPs with biotin-DNA and GOx, were bound to the biotinylated anti-phosphoserine labeled phosphorylated peptide modified electrode surface through a biotin-avidin interaction. The GOx assembled on the nanoprobe can catalyze glucose to generate H2O2 in the presence of O2 while the ECL reaction occurred in the luminol ECL biosensor. At a higher concentration of kinase, there are more nanoprobes on the electrode, which gives a higher amount of GOx at the electrode interface and thus higher electrocatalytic efficiency to the luminol ECL reaction. Therefore, the activity of protein kinases can be monitored by ECL with high sensitivity. Protein kinase A (PKA), an important enzyme in regulation of glycogen, sugar, and lipid metabolism in the human body, was used as a model to confirm the present proof-of-concept strategy. The as-proposed biosensor presents high sensitivity, low detection limit of 0.013 U mL(-1), wide linear range (from 0.02 to 40 U mL(-1)), and excellent stability. Moreover, this biosensor can also be used for quantitative analysis of kinase inhibition. On the basis of the inhibitor concentration dependent ECL signal, the half-maximal inhibition value IC50 of ellagic acid, a typical PKA inhibitor, was estimated, which is in agreement with those obtained using the conventional kinase assay. The simple and sensitive biosensor is promising in developing a high-through assay of in vitro kinase activity and inhibitor screening for clinic diagnostic and drug development.

Abstract
The allosteric reaction of protein kinase A (PKA) upon binding of cyclic AMP (cAMP) is revealed with an electrochemical technique through the redox current change of an electrochemically active marker. The different effect of cAMP's regulation at a distinct concentration level is obtained in this system. The influence of structural analogues is also examined with respect to the affinity and special selectivity. This study presents an electrochemical approach to the rapid and sensitive investigation of the protein-ligand interaction in the signal transduction networks.

Abstract
We previously reported that poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) grafted with Peptide 1 (-GLRRASLG) and poly(ethylene glycol) changed its physical properties in response to an intracellular protein phosphorylation signal, protein kinase A (PKA) (Katayama, Y. et al. (2001) Macromolecules 34, 905). In this study, we investigated the effect of changing peptide structure on the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of peptide-polymer conjugates, before and after phosphorylation with PKA. For Peptide 2 (Ac-LRRASL-), which has a formal net charge of +2 at physiological pH, the LCST of the conjugate decreased on phosphorylation. In contrast, the LCSTs of the conjugates with Peptide 3 (-ALRRASLE) and Peptide 4 (Ac-DWDALRRASL-), which have neutral net charges, were greatly increased. This suggests that the LCST of the polymer was mainly governed by two factors: the change in hydration around the polymer chain and the interpeptide electrostatic repulsion, resulting from phosphorylation. These polymers have potential for use as drug capsules that respond to cellular conditions.

Abstract
To gain a clearer insight into the mechanisms of skeletal muscle cell growth, differentiation and maintenance, we have developed a primary adult human skeletal muscle cell model. Cells were cultured from biopsies of rectus muscle from the anterior abdominal wall of patients undergoing elective surgery. Under differentiating conditions, all cultures formed myotubes, irrespective of initial myoblast number. Stimulation with both IGF-I and tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) increased cellular proliferation but while IGF-I subsequently increased myoblast differentiation, via both hyperplasia and hypertrophy, TNFalpha inhibited the initiation of differentiation, but did not induce apoptosis. Addition of IGF-I stimulated both the MAP kinase and the phosphatidylinositide 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) signalling pathways while treatment with TNFalpha preferentially led to MAP kinase activation although with a very different profile of activation compared to IGF-I. Data using the MEK inhibitor UO126 showed MAP kinase activity is not only needed for cellular proliferation but is also necessary for both the initiation and the progression of primary human myoblast differentiation. The PI 3-kinase pathway is also involved in differentiation, but activation of this pathway could not relieve inhibition of differentiation by TNFalpha or UO126. Our results show that the controlled temporal and amplitude of activation of multiple signalling pathways is needed for successful myoblast differentiation.

Abstract
Monitoring of intracellular protein kinase activity is very important for fields involving diagnosis and drug screening. However, current methods, such as radiometry using (32)P, or ELISA, are laborious and time-consuming. We have developed high-throughput assay system of protein kinase activity using mass-tagged substrate peptide probes and mass spectrometry. This assay system can easily evaluate target kinase activity and will potentially be able to simultaneously profile many protein kinase activities.

Abstract
Zinc (Zn(2+)) is a multifunctional micronutrient. The list of functions for this micronutrient expanded with the recent discovery that Zn(2+) retains insulin-like growth factors binding proteins (IGFBPs) on the surface of cultured cells, lowers the affinity of cell-associated IGFBPs, and increases the affinity of the cell surface insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-type 1 receptor (IGF-1R). However, currently there is no information concerning the effect of Zn(2+) on soluble IGFBPs. In the current study, the soluble IGFBP-5 secreted by BC(3)H-1 cells is shown to bind approximately 50% more [(125)I]-IGF-II than [(125)I]-IGF-I at pH 7.4. Zn(2+) is shown to depress the binding of both IGF-I and IGF-II to soluble secreted IGFBP-5; [(125)I]-IGF-I binding is affected more so than [(125)I]-IGF-II binding. Zn(2+) acts by lowering the affinity (K(a)) of IGFBP-5 for the IGFs. Scatchard plots are non-linear indicating the presence of high and low affinity binding sites; Zn(2+) affects only binding to the high affinity site. In contrast, Zn(2+) increases the affinity by which either [(125)I]-IGF-I or [(125)I]-R(3)-IGF-I binds to the IGF-1R, but depresses [(125)I]-IGF-II binding to the IGF-type 2 receptor (IGF-2R) on BC(3)H-1 cells. By depressing the association of the IGFs with soluble IGFBPs, Zn(2+) is shown to repartition either [(125)I]-IGF-I or [(125)I]-IGF-II from soluble IGFBP-5 onto cell surface IGF receptors. Zn(2+) was active at physiological doses depressing IGF binding to IGFBP-5 and the IGF-2R at 15-20 microM. Hence, a novel mechanism is further characterized by which the trace micronutrient Zn(2+) could regulate IGF activity.

Abstract
Although muscle satellite cells were identified almost 40 years ago, little is known about the induction of their proliferation and differentiation in response to physiological/pathological stimuli or to growth factors/cytokines. In order to investigate the role of the insulin-like growth factor (IGF)/IGF binding protein (IGFBP) system in adult human myoblast differentiation we have developed a primary human skeletal muscle cell model. We show that under low serum media (LSM) differentiating conditions, the cells secrete IGF binding proteins-2, -3, -4 and -5. Intact IGFBP-5 was detected at days 1 and 2 but by day 7 in LSM it was removed by proteolysis. IGFBP-4 levels were also decreased at day 7 in the presence of IGF-I, potentially by proteolysis. In contrast, we observed that IGFBP-3 initially decreased on transfer of cells into LSM but then increased with myotube formation. Treatment with 20 ng/ml tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNFalpha), which inhibits myoblast differentiation, blocked IGFBP-3 production and secretion whereas 30 ng/ml IGF-I, which stimulates myoblast differentiation, increased IGFBP-3 secretion. The TNFalpha-induced decrease in IGFBP-3 production and inhibition of differentiation could not be rescued by addition of IGF-I. LongR(3)IGF-I, which does not bind to the IGFBPs, had a similar effect on differentiation and IGFBP-3 secretion as IGF-I, both with and without TNFalpha, confirming that increased IGFBP-3 is not purely due to increased stability conferred by binding to IGF-I. Furthermore reduction of IGFBP-3 secretion using antisense oligonucleotides led to an inhibition of differentiation. Taken together these data indicate that IGFBP-3 supports myoblast differentiation.

Abstract
We previously reported that cAMP inhibits autocrine IGF-I gene expression in rat C6 glioma cells. In this study we examined the influence of cAMP on IGF-binding protein gene expression in C6 cells. cAMP potently inhibited IGF-binding protein-3 mRNA and, to a lesser extent, IGF-binding protein-4 mRNA and transiently stimulated IGF-binding protein-5 mRNA. The changes in secreted IGF-binding proteins whose molecular weights were consistent with IGF-binding protein-3 and -5 correlated with those of mRNA levels. cAMP decreased the IGF-binding protein-3 mRNA half-life, but did not alter IGF-binding protein-4 and -5 mRNA half-lives. An IGF-binding protein-5 promoter/luciferase fusion construct containing 888 bp of 5'-flanking sequence and the first 114 bp of exon 1 sequence was stimulated by cAMP after 24 h by approximately 2-fold in transient transfection assays. 5'- or 3'-deletion to -33 or +10 (the transcription start site was designated as +1), respectively, did not alter the increase caused by cAMP. Site-directed mutagenesis of the region from -14 to -5 led to a loss of the ability of the IGF-binding protein-5 promoter to respond to cAMP. H89, a cell-permeable protein kinase A inhibitor, did not alter the regulation of IGF-binding protein mRNAs in response to cAMP.

Abstract
A novel electrochemical system has been developed for monitoring the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) activity. In this method, PKA activity was monitored as the change in the redox current of a ferrocene-pendant PKA substrate peptide (Fe-LRRASLG) on a gold electrode, which had been modified with thioctic acid, using cyclic voltammetry. The phosphrylation of the ferrocene-pendant substrate with PKA changed the net charge from +1 to -1. This caused a decrease in the redox current of the ferrocene unit due to an electrostatic repulsion between the substrate and the anionic surface of the electrode. We expect that this method is potentially useful for monitoring the enzyme activity in medical or pharmacological fields.

Abstract
A novel 17-mer peptide ligand for cyclic AMP was designed using the amino acid sequences of essential subsites in various cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase A) families. The Au disk electrode, which was modified with the designed 17-mer oligopeptide, responded to cyclic AMP but virtually did not respond to any other cyclic nucleotides using the ion channel sensor mechanism. On the other hand, a scrambled peptide, which had the same amino acid composition as and had an amino acid sequence different from the 17-mer oligopeptide, did not respond to any nucleotides. This indicates that the designed 17-mer peptide actually acted as a selective ligand for cyclic AMP. This ligand-designing strategy using peptide sequences in target-binding proteins may possibly be extended to the design of peptide ligands for other second messengers.

Abstract
We have reported that immortalized Schwann cells (SC) express the insulin-like growth factor I receptor and IGF-binding protein-5 (IGFBP-5). IGF-I promotes SC survival and protects IGFBP-5 in SC-conditioned medium from proteolysis. In the current study we examined the roles of IGF-I and IGFBP-5 in primary SC. IGF-I enhances primary SC differentiation and gene and protein expression of IGFBP-5 and the myelinating protein, P0. SC that stably overexpress human IGFBP-5 also have higher levels of P0 gene expression. The phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase inhibitor (LY294002), but not the mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase inhibitor (PD98059), blocks IGF-I enhancement of IGFBP-5 gene and protein expression. Collectively, these results suggest that IGF-I promotes SC differentiation, and this may occur in part by enhancing IGFBP-5 expression via phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase activation. These data support a link between enhanced IGFBP-5 expression and cellular differentiation.
