Abstract
ErbB3, which belongs to the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) or ErbB family of receptor tyrosine kinases, is involved in progression of several human cancers and a tight regulation of its expression is crucial. An important mechanism for regulation of ErbB proteins is endocytosis and we recently showed that ErbB3, contrary to other ErbB proteins, like EGFR and ErbB2, is constitutively internalized and degraded. Several studies show that protein kinase C (PKC) can regulate the activation, localization and stability of EGFR and ErbB2. Activation of PKC causes their down-regulation from the plasma membrane, but instead of being degraded the receptors accumulate in an endosomal recycling compartment. Since little is known about possible connections between ErbB3 and PKC, we have in the present study investigated effects PKC activity has on ErbB3 stability and intracellular trafficking. While PKC inhibition tends to increase ErbB3 degradation, activation of PKC causes ErbB3 stabilization. The stabilization was not due to inhibited internalization, on the contrary we find that expression of ErbB3 at the plasma membrane is reduced upon PMA-induced PKC activation. However, while endocytosed ErbB3 under normal conditions and upon PKC inhibition is found in early endosomal antigen 1 (EEA1) positive early endosomes and lysosomal-associated membrane protein 1 (LAMP1) positive late endosomes/lysosomes, indicating that it follows the classic degradative pathway, ErbB3 localizes to EEA1 and LAMP1 negative compartments upon PMA-induced activation of PKC. Altogether this shows that PKC regulates the stability of ErbB3, and knockdown experiments show that PKCδ is essential in this process. A likely explanation is that PKC regulates endosomal sorting of ErbB3 and that activated PKC sorts ErbB3 away from the degradative pathway.

Abstract
Background The non-receptor tyrosine kinase, SRMS (Src-related kinase lacking C-terminal regulatory tyrosine and N-terminal myristoylation sites) is a member of the BRK family kinases (BFKs) which represents an evolutionarily conserved relative of the Src family kinases (SFKs). Tyrosine kinases are known to regulate a number of cellular processes and pathways via phosphorylating substrate proteins directly and/or by partaking in signaling cross-talks leading to the indirect modulation of various signaling intermediates. In a previous study, we profiled the tyrosine-phosphoproteome of SRMS and identified multiple candidate substrates of the kinase. The broader cellular signaling intermediates of SRMS are unknown. Methods In order to uncover the broader SRMS-regulated phosphoproteome and identify the SRMS-regulated indirect signaling intermediates, we performed label-free global phosphoproteomics analysis on cells expressing wild-type SRMS. Using computational database searching and bioinformatics analyses we characterized the dataset. Results Our analyses identified 60 hyperphosphorylated (phosphoserine/phosphothreonine) proteins mapped from 140 hyperphosphorylated peptides. Bioinfomatics analyses identified a number of significantly enriched biological and cellular processes among which DNA repair pathways were found to be upregulated while apoptotic pathways were found to be downregulated. Analyses of motifs derived from the upregulated phosphosites identified Casein kinase 2 alpha (CK2α) as one of the major potential kinases contributing to the SRMS-dependent indirect regulation of signaling intermediates. Conclusions Overall, our phosphoproteomics analyses identified serine/threonine phosphorylation dynamics as important secondary events of the SRMS-regulated phosphoproteome with implications in the regulation of cellular and biological processes.

Abstract
PKC signaling is critical for follicular development and the induction of ovulatory genes including Pgr, Prkg2, and Cyp11a1 (SCC). We investigated PKC signaling mechanisms in the JC-410 porcine granulosa cell line stably expressing an SCC-luciferase reporter gene containing 2kb of the porcine SCC promoter. Addition of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), which activates protein kinase C, induced the promoter approximately 6-fold over the basal levels in 4h. This effect was predominantly mediated by the PKC beta and delta isoforms. PMA-mediated induction of the SCC promoter was sensitive to inhibition of ERK1/2 or JNK. Inhibition of p38 MAP kinase or Src tyrosine kinase did not alter the PMA-mediated inducibility of the promoter. SCC promoter induction in response to PMA treatment required basal EGF-receptor activity, but did not involve ectodomain shedding. Western blot analyses using phospho-specific antibodies showed that PMA treatment of JC-410 cells induced phosphorylation of MEK1/2, ERK1/2, and its downstream target p90 RSK at 15min. We also documented the rapid phosphorylation of JNK1/2 in response to PMA treatment. Phosphorylation of ERK and JNK was robust and sustained in contrast to activation of PKA and EGF-receptor signaling in these cells. Pretreatment of JC-410 granulosa cells with IGF-1 had a synergistic effect on PMA-mediated induction of the SCC promoter. We demonstrated the importance of PMA activation of ERK signaling and the synergism with IGF-1 by showing similar responses for Prkg2 expression in primary granulosa cells. In conclusion, our studies demonstrated PMA activation of ERK and JNK signaling which is relevant in the regulation of gene expression during follicular development, ovulation, and luteinization.

Abstract
The identification of markers that are associated with tumour but not normal tissue has allowed the development of highly-specific targeted therapies. Monoclonal antibodies, either alone or linked to radioisotopes or toxins, have provided a powerful tool for research, as well as the basis for promising therapeutic agents with less side effects than standard radiotherapy or chemotherapy. A new class of drugs, the tyrosine kinase inhibitors, which interfere with the function of key molecules in cancer-promoting pathways, have had a dramatic effect in haematological malignancy and are being trialled in solid tumours, including glioma. Although the problem of achieving specific, high-level delivery of these various agents to tumours in the brain remains a major issue, encouraging early results with some targeted agents support the attractive theoretical principles of this new paradigm. Further work to identify new molecular targets and to develop agents exploiting them, is needed, as well as confirmation of their safety and efficacy by clinical trials.

Abstract
Mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades are thought to mediate diverse biological functions such as cell growth, differentiation and migration. Activated MAPK may affect microtubule (MT) which is essential for cellular polarity, differentiation and motility. Data in this study show that JWA, a newly identified novel microtubule-associated protein (MAP) was essential for the rearrangement of F-actin cytoskeleton and activation of MAPK cascades induced by arsenic trioxide (As2O3) and phorbol ester (PMA). Over-expression of JWA alone in HeLa, B16 and HCCLM3 cancer cells effectively inhibited cellular migration; whereas, cellular migration was significantly accelerated when cells were deficient in JWA expression. The mechanism underlying these phenomena might be due to JWA affected F-actin rearrangement. Furthermore, JWA deficiency blocked anti-migratory effect produced by As2O3 but enhanced the migratory effect initiated by PMA in HeLa cells. JWA SDR-SLR motifs are not only critical for the MAPK cascades activation, but also for cell migration. Further studies found that JWA differentially regulated cell migration via ERK downstream effectors focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). Therefore, JWA regulated-tumor cellular migration might involve MAPK cascades activation and F-actin cytoskeleton rearrangement mechanisms. Our data provide an unexpected role for JWA in tumor cell migration behaviors.

Abstract
Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription (STAT)-6 is a transcriptional factor activated mainly through the cytokines IL-4 and IL-13 leading to the Th2 cell differentiation. Th2 cells play a role in the etiology and pathogenesis of allergic disease. Histamine alters the Th1/Th2 cytokine balance towards the Th2 cytokine profile and consequently plays a role in allergic diseases and asthma. This study was designed to investigate the effects of histamine on the STAT6 phosphorylation. C57/BL6 splenocytes were pretreated with different concentrations of histamine (10(-)(4) M to 10(-)(13) M) followed by stimulation with PMA+ionomycin or IL-4. The phosphorylated and total basal STAT6 levels were assessed by employing the immunoblotting technique. Histamine caused the hyper-phosphorylation of STAT6. H1 receptor antagonist pyrilamine reversed the effect of histamine on STAT6 phosphorylation. However, H2 receptor antagonist ranitidine and H3/H4 receptor antagonist thioperamide did not affect the histamine mediated hyper-phosphorylation of STAT6. Furthermore, H1 receptor agonist betahistine enhanced the phosphorylation of STAT6 whereas H2 receptor agonist amthamine did not affect the phosphorylation STAT6. Furthermore, tyrosine kinase inhibitor, tyrphostin, inhibited the histamine mediated phosphorylation of STAT6 when stimulated with PMA+ionomycin. The effects of histamine on the STAT6 phosphorylation were indirect since they were blocked either by the antibodies to IL-4 and IL-13 or in IL-4 knock out mice in the presence of IL-13 antibody. These observations suggest that histamine indirectly affected the STAT6 phosphorylation via its effects on the secretion of cytokines (IL-4) and H1 receptor played a role in this process.

Abstract
The epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor and its various ligands (EGF, TGF-alpha, amphiregulin, heparin-binding (HB)-EGF, heregulin, betacellulin) seem to be involved in the growth regulation of intestinal mucosa and might be related to the development and progression of gastrointestinal tumors. However, few quantitative data investigating the impact of tumor-EGF receptor levels in gastrointestinal carcinomas on tumor stage and prognosis are available. Therefore, EGF receptors were quantitatively determined in colorectal carcinomas in comparison to adjacent normal mucosa by 125I[EGF]-binding studies. EGFR capacity was increased in advanced invasive colorectal carcinomas (T1/2 vs. T3/4 tumors, p<0.001) and advanced UICC stages (UICC I vs. UICC II/III, p<0.001). These findings were confirmed with quantitative 125[I]EGF autoradiography performed on frozen tissue slides and analyzed by laser densitometry (p=0.020). EGF receptor analysis with immunohistochemistry with EGFR antibodies directed against the extracellular domain of the receptor was not correlated with tumor invasion or prognosis. mRNA-expression of EGFR ligands was investigated using semiquantitative RT-PCR amplification using specific primers. RT-PCR transcripts of EGFR ligands (EGF, TGF-alpha, HB-EGF, and amphiregulin) were detected in both carcinomas and normal mucosa, indicating that autocrine growth stimulation of colorectal carcinomas is mediated by coexpression of EGF receptor ligands and upregulation of EGF receptors. Survival of colorectal cancer patients with increased tumor EGF receptor levels was significantly reduced in comparison to patients with low/unchanged tumor EGF receptor levels (mean survival+/-SD, 36.2+/-4.0 vs. 46.8+/-4.3 months; p=0.017). Further studies investigating EGF receptor levels in gastric cancer patients have shown that increased tumor EGF receptor levels were associated with poor prognosis in gastric cancer patients with tumors localized distal from the cardia. Several specific EGF receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors have recently entered clinical phase I-III studies, with promising antitumor effects in several tumors, including gastrointestinal cancer. Therefore, patients with invasive gastric or colorectal carcinomas might benefit from therapies specifically blocking EGFR-mediated signal transduction.

Abstract
The alpha4 integrins (alpha4beta1 and alpha4beta7) play multiple roles in the immune system. Alpha4 integrins impact hematopoiesis, leukocyte trafficking in immune surveillance and inflammation, and leukocyte activation and survival. To perform these functions, alpha4 integrins act as both adhesive and signaling receptors. Paxillin, a signaling adapter molecule, binds directly to the alpha4 subunit cytoplasmic domain, and its binding is regulated by serine phosphorylation of the alpha4 subunit. This regulated interaction of paxillin with the alpha4 subunit is likely to regulate the diverse functions of alpha4 integrins in the immune system. Furthermore, this protein-protein interaction may provide novel targets for the modulation of the immune response.

Abstract
Epidermal growth factor (EGF)-stimulated proliferation of renal epithelial cells plays an important role in the recovery of kidney tubule epithelia following exposure to insult. Numerous studies have demonstrated that tyrosine phosphorylation of the focal adhesion protein paxillin mediates in part the effects of growth factors on cell growth, migration, and organization of the actin-based cytoskeleton. The experiments in this report were designed to determine the effect of EGF on paxillin phosphorylation in normal rat kidney (NRK) epithelial cells. Interestingly, treatment of NRK cells with EGF stimulated paxillin serine/threonine phosphorylation, which caused a reduction in the mobility of paxillin on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The EGF-stimulated mobility shift of paxillin was independent of an intact cytoskeleton, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) activation, protein kinase C (PKC) activation, and cellular adhesion. However, inhibitors of the mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinase kinase abrogated the EGF-stimulated change in paxillin mobility. In addition, the EGF-stimulated change in paxillin serine/threonine phosphorylation was not accompanied by a profound reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton. These results identify paxillin as a component EGF signaling in renal epithelial cells and implicate members of the MAP kinase pathway as critical regulators of paxillin serine/threonine phosphorylation.

Abstract
The receptor tyrosine kinase Tie-1 is expressed predominantly in endothelial cells where it physically associates with the related receptor Tie-2. Positive signalling through Tie-2 is associated with microvessel stability and suppression of this signal is thought to be required for vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-induced microvessel remodelling or growth. Here we examine the effects of VEGF on Tie-1 and the Tie-2:Tie-1 complex. We show that VEGF induces generation of the Tie-1 endodomain and loss of the full-length receptor. The effects of VEGF on endodomain formation are not suppressed by inhibitors of protein kinase C and do not involve the nitric oxide signalling pathway. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors, in contrast, do abolish endodomain generation in response to the endothelial growth factor. VEGF stimulation of cells does not cause dissociation of the Tie-2:Tie-1 complex; rather the complex is converted to a form comprising the full-length-Tie-2 and Tie-1 endodomain. VEGF can therefore switch the Tie-2:Tie-1 complex between two different forms in endothelial cells. The ability of VEGF to modulate Tie-1 and the Tie-2:Tie-1 complex provides a mechanism whereby this initiator of vessel growth and remodelling can directly modulate receptors involved in vessel stabilization. Such cross-talk is likely to be important in the coordinate control of blood vessel formation during development and in postnatal angiogenesis.

Abstract
Resveratrol, a phenolic compound found in grapes and other food products, prevents chemical-induced carcinogenesis in a number of animal models of cancers. To better understand its chemopreventive property, we examined effects of resveratrol on the activity of activator protein 1 (AP-1), a dimeric transcription factor that plays a critical role in the carcinogenesis and tumor transformation. Pretreatment of HeLa cells with resveratrol inhibited the transcription of AP-1 reporter gene by UVC and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA). Pretreatment with resveratrol also inhibited the activation of extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase 2 (ERK2), c-jun N-terminal kinase 1 (JNK1), and p38. Selectively blocking mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways by overexpression of dominant-negative mutants of kinases attenuated the AP-1 activation by PMA and UVC. Interestingly, resveratrol had little effect on the induction of AP-1 reporter gene by active Raf-1, MEKK1, or MKK6, suggesting that it inhibited MAPK pathways by targeting the signaling molecules upstream of Raf-1 or MEKK1. Indeed, incubation of resveratrol with the isolated c-Src protein tyrosine kinase and protein kinase C diminished their kinase activities. Furthermore, inhibition of protein tyrosine kinases and protein kinase C with their selective inhibitors impaired the activation of MAPKs as well as the induction of AP-1 activity by PMA and UVC. In addition, modulation of estrogen receptor activity with 17beta-estradiol had no effect on the inhibition of AP-1 by resveratrol. Taken together, these results suggest that the effects of resveratrol on AP-1 and MAPK pathways may involve the inhibition of both protein tyrosine kinases and protein kinase C.

Abstract
RACK1 is an intracellular receptor for the serine/ threonine protein kinase C. Previously, we demonstrated that RACK1 also interacts with the Src protein-tyrosine kinase. RACK1, via its association with these protein kinases, may play a key role in signal transduction. To further characterize the Src-RACK1 interaction and to analyze mechanisms by which cross-talk occurs between the two RACK1-linked signaling kinases, we identified sites on Src and RACK1 that mediate their binding, and factors that regulate their interaction. We found that the interaction of Src and RACK1 is mediated, in part, by the SH2 domain of Src and by phosphotyrosines in the sixth WD repeat of RACK1, and is enhanced by serum or platelet-derived growth factor stimulation, protein kinase C activation, and tyrosine phosphorylation of RACK1. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of tyrosine phosphorylation of a member of the WD repeat family of proteins. We think that tyrosine phosphorylation of these proteins is an important mechanism of signal transduction in cells.

Abstract
The biochemical path for the activation of ErbB-2 by PKC activator was investigated in MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells. We found that PMA-induced phosphorylation of myristoylated alanine-rich C kinase substrate (MARCKS) increased its binding with Tob that exerts an anti-proliferative effect through the binding with ErbB-2. The phosphorylation site domain (PSD) of MARCKS was relevant to its interaction with Tob. Decreased binding of Tob with ErbB-2 and subsequent activation of ErbB-2 were observed in MDA-MB-231 cells in response to PMA treatment. The present study proposes that MARCKS phosphorylation by PKC removes Tob from ErbB-2 by increasing its binding affinity with Tob, and thereby activates the ErbB-2 mediated signal transduction.

Abstract
Ebp1, a 47 kDa ubiquituously expressed protein, binds the ErbB3 receptor in human serum starved breast cancer cell lines and dissociates from ErbB3 on treatment with the ErbB3 ligand, Heregulin (HRG). However, the mechanism of Ebp1-ErbB3 association/dissociation is not understood. Since Ebp1 contains six putative Protein Kinase C serine/threonine phosphorylation sites, we examined the ability of PKC to phosphorylate Ebp1 and to regulate Ebp1-ErbB3 binding. We found that Ebp1 was basally phosphorylated in AU565 breast cancer cells on serine/threonine residues and that this phosphorylation was enhanced by heregulin treatment. Both serine and threonine residues of a GST-Ebp1 fusion protein were phosphorylated by PKC in vitro. In vivo, we demonstrated that basal Ebp1 phosphorylation was dependent upon PKC. However, HRG-induced phosphorylation of Ebp1 occurred predominantly in a PKC-independent manner. The ability of Ebp1 to associate with ErbB3 in serum-starved NIH3T3 cells overexpresssing ErbB3 was abrogated by treating cells with a PKC inhibitor. These findings suggest that PKC plays a role in regulating phosphorylation and function of Ebp1 in vivo.

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
Platelet-activating factor receptor (PAFR) has been identified in B cell lines and primary human B cells, but the regulation of PAFR during B cell activation has not been completely elucidated. In the present study, we have investigated the effects of B cell activation on PAFR binding parameters, PAFR mRNA and PAF-triggered intracellular calcium mobilization. The human B lymphoid cell line LA350 was shown to exhibit high levels of PAFR (48,550 +/- 4,310 sites/cell) as determined by radio-ligand binding assay with PAFR antagonist [3H]WEB2086. Treatment with phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate caused a biphasic reduction of PAFR binding. The early phase was inhibited by the protein kinase C inhibitor bisindolylmaleimide I (BIM), whereas the late phase was not blocked by BIM, protein tyrosine kinase inhibitor genistein, or the mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signal-related kinase inhibitor PD98059. However, staurosporine, a broad-spectrum protein kinase inhibitor, completely inhibited the late phase down-regulation. Ionomycin also decreased [3H]WEB2086 binding sites, whereas the combination of PDB and ionomycin induced a greater reduction than either agent alone. Cross-linking of B cell receptor by anti-IgM Ab also induced down-regulation of PAFR, which was abolished by genistein or PD98059, but not by BIM or staurosporine. The decrease in surface PAFR number was closely paralleled by the reduction in PAFR mRNA both in LA350 cells and human tonsillar B cells, and was associated with decreased response to PAF indicated by decreased intracellular calcium mobilization. These data show that multiple signaling pathways are involved in down-regulating PAFR expression during B cell activation and development.

Abstract
Alpha4 integrins (alpha4beta1 and alpha4beta7) have a restricted distribution pattern and are critical for the development and diseases of the cardiovascular system. alpha4 integrins support unique biological properties such as promoting cell migration and inhibiting cell spreading and focal adhesion formation. We have found that the alpha4 integrin subunit directly and tightly binds to a signaling adapter molecule, paxillin, and disruption of the alpha4-paxillin interaction interferes with many of alpha4-dependent biological functions. Consequently, the interaction of alpha4 integrins with paxillin may play an important role in regulating alpha4-mediated functions. This review focuses on what we have known about the alpha4-paxillin interaction and discusses the possible mechanism of regulation for this interaction.

Abstract
Gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) contributes to the maintenance of gonadotrope function by increasing extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) activity subsequent to binding to its cognate G-protein-coupled receptor. As the GnRH receptor exclusively interacts with G(q/11) proteins and as receptor expression is regulated in a beta-arrestin-independent fashion, it represents a good model to systematically dissect underlying signaling pathways. In alphaT3-1 gonadotropes endogenously expressing the GnRH receptor, GnRH challenge resulted in a rapid increase in ERK activity which was attenuated by the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-specific tyrosine kinase inhibitor AG1478. In COS-7 cells transiently expressing the human GnRH receptor, agonist-induced ERK activation was independent of free Gbetagamma subunits but could be mimicked by short-term phorbol ester treatment. Most notably, G(q/11)-induced ERK activation was sensitive to N17-Ras and to expression of the C-terminal Src kinase but also to other dominant negative mutants of signaling components localized upstream of Ras, like Shc and the EGFR. GnRH as well as phorbol esters led to Ras activation in COS-7 and alphaT3-1 cells, which was dependent on Src and EGFR tyrosine kinases, indicating that both tyrosine kinases act downstream of protein kinase C (PKC) and upstream of Ras. However, Src did not contribute to Shc tyrosine phosphorylation. GnRH or phorbol ester challenge resulted in PKC-dependent EGFR autophosphorylation. Furthermore, a 5-min phorbol ester treatment was sufficient to trigger tyrosine phosphorylation of the platelet-derived growth factor-beta receptor in L cells. Thus, in several cell systems PKC is able to stimulate Ras via activation of receptor tyrosine kinases.

Abstract
The heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein K protein recruits a diversity of molecular partners and may act as a docking platform involved in such processes as transcription, RNA processing, and translation. We show that K protein is tyrosine-phosphorylated in vitro by Src and Lck. Treatment with H(2)O(2)/Na(3)VO(4), which induces oxidative stress, stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of K protein in cultured cells and in intact livers. Tyrosine phosphorylation increased binding of Lck and the proto-oncoprotein Vav to K protein in vitro. Oxidative stress increased the association of K protein with Lck and Vav, suggesting that tyrosine phosphorylation regulates the ability of K protein to recruit these effectors in vivo. Translation-based assay showed that K protein is constitutively bound to many mRNAs in vivo. Native immunoprecipitated K protein-mRNA complexes were disrupted by tyrosine phosphorylation, suggesting that the in vivo binding of K protein to mRNA may be responsive to the extracellular signals that activate tyrosine kinases. This study shows that tyrosine phosphorylation of K protein regulates K protein-protein and K protein-RNA interactions. These data are consistent with a model in which functional interaction of K protein is responsive to changes in the extracellular environment. Acting as a docking platform, K protein may bridge signal transduction pathways to sites of nucleic acid-dependent process such as transcription, RNA processing, and translation.

Abstract
We previously reported cloning the rLot1 gene, and its human homolog (hLOT1), through analysis of differential gene expression in normal and malignant rat ovarian surface epithelial cells. Both human and rat ovarian carcinoma cell lines exhibited lost or decreased expression of this gene. Interestingly, the LOT1 gene localized at band q25 of human chromosome 6 which is a frequent site for LOH in many solid tumors including ovarian cancer. In this report we have further characterized the potential role of LOT1 in malignant transformation and developed evidence that the gene is a novel target of growth factor signaling pathway. Assays using transient transfections showed that LOT1 is a nuclear protein and may act as a transcription factor. In vitro and in vivo studies involving ovarian cancer cell lines revealed that expression of LOT1 is directly associated with inhibition of cellular proliferation and induction of morphological transformations. Additionally, we show that in normal rat ovarian surface epithelial cells Lot1 gene expression is responsive to growth factor stimulation. Its mRNA is strongly down-regulated by epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) ligands, namely EGF and TGF-alpha. Blocking the ligand-activated EGFR signal transduction pathway by the specific EGF receptor inhibitor, tyrphostin AG1478, and the MEK inhibitor, PD098059, restores the normal level of Lot1 gene expression. It appears that the regulation of Lot1 gene is unique to these ligands, as well as the growth promoting agent TPA, since other factors either did not affect Lot1 expression, or the effect was modest and transient. Altogether, the results suggest that Lot1 expression is primarily mediated via EGF receptor or a related pathway and it may regulate the growth promoting signals as a zinc-finger motif containing nuclear transcription factor.

Abstract
Muscle cell survival depends upon the presence of various integrins with affinities for different extracellular matrix proteins. The absence of either alpha(5) or alpha(7) integrins leads to degenerative disorders of skeletal muscle, muscular dystrophies. To understand the cell survival signals that are mediated by integrin engagement with matrix proteins, we studied the early signaling events initiated by the attachment of muscle cells to fibronectin, an interaction that is mediated primarily by alpha(5) integrins. Cells that express alpha(5) integrin rapidly spread on fibronectin, and this process is associated with the phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK). Cells deficient in alpha(5) integrin failed to spread or promote FAK phosphorylation when plated on fibronectin. For alpha(5)-expressing cells, both spreading and FAK phosphorylation could be blocked by inhibitors of protein kinase C (PKC), indicating that PKC is necessary for this "outside-in signaling" mediated by alpha(5) integrin. Surprisingly, activators of PKC could promote spreading and FAK phosphorylation in alpha(5)-deficient muscle cells plated on fibronectin. This PKC-induced cell spreading appeared to be due to activation of alpha(4) integrins ("inside-out signaling") since it could be blocked by peptides that specifically inhibit alpha(4) integrin binding to fibronectin. A model of integrin signaling in muscle cells is presented in which there is a positive feedback loop involving PKC in both outside-in and inside-out signaling, and the activation of this cycle is essential for cell spreading and downstream signaling to promote cell survival. In addition, the data indicate a cross-talk that occurs between integrins in which the outside-in signaling via one integrin can promote the activation of another integrin via inside-out signaling.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Protein kinase C (PKC) is a family of serine-threonine kinases that transmit signals from cell surface receptors. To determine if distinct PKC isozymes transmit proliferative and/or apoptotic signals in colon cancer cells, we examined the effects of 3 PKC agonists, phorbol 12-myristate 13 acetate (PMA), ingenol 3,20-dibenzoate (IDB), and bistratene A, and a selective PKC inhibitor, GF 109203X, on proliferation, apoptosis, and activation of individual PKC isozymes in 5 colon cancer cell lines. METHODS Effects were assayed by a formazan-based colorimetric assay, [(3)H]thymidine incorporation, fluorescent nuclear staining, annexin V binding, DNA fragmentation assay, and immunoblotting of cytoplasmic and membrane fractions for PKC isozymes. RESULTS Two cell lines, SNU-C1 and SNU-C4, showed proliferative responses to PMA (0.1-1 nmol/L) and IDB (10-1000 nmol/L) and marked apoptotic responses to PMA (>5 nmol/L) and bistratene A (>1 micromol/L). GF 109203X blocked proliferative and apoptotic effects of PMA with distinct IC(50)s. Proliferative concentrations of PMA and IDB caused translocation of PKCepsilon alone, whereas apoptotic concentrations of PMA and bistratene A induced translocation of PKCdelta. CONCLUSIONS Activation of PKCepsilon and PKCdelta triggers proliferative and apoptotic signals, respectively, in SNU-C4 colon cancer cells. These 2 isozymes may play important opposing roles in normal homeostasis and neoplastic transformation of the colorectal epithelium.

Abstract
Several mutations in the tyrosine kinase domain of ErbB-3 have been postulated to render this enzyme catalytically inactive. To test which amino acid mutations in ErbB-3 might be critical for kinase inactivation, we used a yeast two hybrid assay of protein-protein interaction. We monitored restoration of ErbB-3 kinase activity by investigating the ability of wild type or mutant ErbB-3 to associate with the SH2 containing proteins Syp and Phosphatidyl-inositol-3-kinase (PI3K). Our results demonstrate that changing individual amino acids to tyrosine kinase consensus sequences did not increase the interaction of ErbB-3 with Syp or PI3K. Mutation of the consensus Asp832 of rat ErbB-3 to Asn observed in human and bovine ErbB-3 significantly increased the interaction of ErbB-3 and Syp and PI3K 11 or 26 fold respectively. A double mutant (Asp832Asn, Asp757 His) exhibited a 96 or 350 fold increase in the ability to bind PI3K and Syp.

Abstract
Microglia are activated by amyloid beta (Abeta) in vivo and in vitro, and Abeta-activated microglia may be involved in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). We investigated the mechanism of microglial chemotaxis induced by Abeta (25-35), an active fragment of Abeta. Abeta (25-35) 0.1 and 1 nM stimulated microglial chemotaxis. The protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitors chelerythrine (0.5 and 2 microM), calphostin C (1 microM) and staurospine (10 nM) significantly inhibited the microglial chemotaxis induced by Abeta (25-35) (1 nM). The chemotactic effect of Abeta (25-35) on microglia was desensitized by pretreatment of microglia with 1 ng/ml 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA). Pretreatment of cells with Abeta (25-35) (1 nM) also desensitized the chemotactic effect by Abeta (25-35) (1 nM). The desensitization by TPA or Abeta (25-35) was inhibited when staurosporine was present in the pretreatment media. The tyrosine kinase inhibitor herbimycin A (0.1 and 1 microM) significantly inhibited the microglial chemotaxis induced by Abeta (25-35) (1 nM). Based on these observations, it seems likely that PKC and tyrosine kinase are involved in the Abeta-induced chemotaxis of microglia.

Abstract
The activation of growth factor receptors and receptors coupled to heterotrimeric guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G-proteins) can increase mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase activity in many cells. Previously, we demonstrated that the activation of G-protein-coupled P2Y2 receptors by extracellular ATP and UTP stimulated MAP (p42 ERK2) kinase by a mechanism that was dependent on the elevation of [Ca2+]i and the activation of related adhesion focal tyrosine kinase (RAFTK) (also called PYK2, CAKbeta, and CADTK) and protein kinase C (PKC). Here, we examine further the signaling cascade between the P2Y2 receptor and MAP kinase. MAP kinase was transiently activated by exposure of PC12 cells to UTP. UTP, ionomycin, and phorbol ester (phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate) increased MAP kinase activity and also promoted the tyrosine phosphorylation of RAFTK, the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor, SHC, and p120(cbl). Down-regulation of PKC and inhibition of the elevation of [Ca2+]i, conditions that block the activation of MAP kinase, also blocked the increases in the tyrosine phosphorylation of RAFTK and the EGF receptor. AG1478, a tyrphostin selective for the EGF receptor, reduced the activation of MAP kinase, the tyrosine phosphorylation of SHC, the association of Grb2 with SHC, and the tyrosine phosphorylation of the EGF receptor and p120(cbl) but did not block the tyrosine phosphorylation of RAFTK. The similar effects of UTP, ionomycin, and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) on these signaling proteins demonstrate that the two signaling molecules from phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate hydrolysis ([Ca2+]i, from inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate production, and diacylglycerol) can individually initiate the activation of MAP kinase in an EGF receptor-dependent manner. These results demonstrate that the P2Y2 receptor-mediated transactivation of the EGF receptor occurs at a point downstream of RAFTK and indicate that the EGF receptor is required for P2Y2 receptor-mediated MAP kinase activation. Although P2Y2 and EGF receptors may both activate a similar multiprotein signaling cascade immediately upstream of MAP kinase, the P2Y2 receptor appears to uniquely utilize [Ca2+]i, PKC, and, subsequently, RAFTK.

Abstract
In the accompanying paper (Emkey, R., and Kahn, C. R. (1997) J. Biol. Chem. 272, 31172-31181), we demonstrated that phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) treatment of Fao cells induces tyrosine phosphorylation of several proteins including ErbB2 and ErbB3. In the present study we show that sphingomyelinase also results in the enhanced tyrosine phosphorylation of ErbB2 and ErbB3 in these cells. In contrast to activation by PMA, the sphingomyelinase-induced phosphorylation of these proteins is independent of protein kinase C. However, both agents stimulate tyrosine phosphorylation of the kinase Pyk2 suggesting that it may be involved in the PMA and sphingomyelinase activation of these ErbB proto-oncogenes. Insulin plays a negative regulatory role in the ligand and non-ligand-induced phosphorylation of the ErbB proto-oncogenes via two mechanisms. Prolonged insulin treatment resulted in decreased expression of both ErbB2 and ErbB3. Insulin also appears to negatively regulate the protein tyrosine kinase responsible for phosphorylating ErbB2 in PMA-stimulated cells. The former effect of insulin was relieved by treatment with inhibitors of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase. The similarities in PMA and sphingomyelinase-induced effects and the negative regulatory role of insulin suggest a mechanism by which multiple ligands can synergize with or protect against the tumorigenic effects of phorbol esters.
