Abstract
Background Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disease. There is no effective treatment for neurodegenerative diseases. Snake venoms are a cocktail of proteins and peptides with great therapeutic potential and might be useful in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. Crotapotin is the acid chain of crotoxin, the major component of Crotalus durissus collilineatus venom. PD is characterized by low levels of neurotrophins, and synaptic and axonal degeneration; therefore, neurotrophic compounds might delay the progression of PD. The neurotrophic potential of crotapotin has not been studied yet. Methods We evaluated the neurotrophic potential of crotapotin in untreated PC12 cells, by assessing the induction of neurite outgrowth. The activation of the NGF signaling pathway was investigated through pharmacological inhibition of its main modulators. Additionally, its neuroprotective and neurorestorative effects were evaluated by assessing neurite outgrowth and cell viability in PC12 cells treated with the dopaminergic neurotoxin MPP+ (1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium), known to induce Parkinsonism in humans and animal models. Results Crotapotin induced neuritogenesis in PC12 cells through the NGF-signaling pathway, more specifically, by activating the NGF-selective receptor trkA, and the PI3K/Akt and the MAPK/ERK cascades, which are involved in neuronal survival and differentiation. In addition, crotapotin had no cytotoxic effect and protected PC12 cells against the inhibitory effects of MPP+ on cell viability and differentiation. Conclusion These findings show, for the first time, that crotapotin has neurotrophic/neuroprotective/neurorestorative potential and might be beneficial in Parkinson's disease. Additional studies are necessary to evaluate the toxicity of crotapotin in other cell models.

Abstract
Prostasin (PRSS8) is a serine protease that metabolizes and moderates the effect of specific substrates. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), which modulates insulin secretion and pancreatic β-cell proliferation, is regulated via proteolytic shedding by PRSS8. We first detected PRSS8 expression in β-cells of pancreatic islets of mice. To better understand the molecular processes involved in PRSS8-associated insulin secretion, pancreatic β-cell-specific PRSS8 knockout (βKO) and PRSS8-overexpressing (βTG) male mice were generated. We found that glucose intolerance and reduction in glucose-stimulated insulin secretion developed in βKO mice compared with the control subjects. A higher response to glucose was noted in islets retrieved from βTG mice. Erlotinib, a specific blocker of EGFR, blocks EGF- and glucose-stimulated secretion of insulin among MIN6 cells, and glucose improves EGF release from β-cells. After silencing PRSS8 in MIN6 cells, glucose-stimulated insulin secretion decreased, and EGFR signaling was impaired. Conversely, overexpression of PRSS8 in MIN6 cells induced higher concentrations of both basal and glucose-stimulated insulin secretion and increased phospho-EGFR concentrations. Furthermore, short-term exposure to glucose improved the concentration of endogenous PRSS8 in MIN6 cells through inhibition of intracellular degradation. These findings suggest that PRSS8 is involved in glucose-dependent physiological regulation of insulin secretion via the EGF-EGFR signaling pathway in pancreatic β-cells.

JOURNAL OF RADIATION RESEARCH 2020; 61:376-387. [PMID: 32100006 PMCID: PMC7299255 DOI: 10.1093/jrr/rraa002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2019] [Revised: 12/30/2019] [Accepted: 01/27/2020] [Indexed: 05/08/2023]
Abstract
The malignant traits involved in tumor relapse, metastasis and the expansion of cancer stem-like cells are acquired via the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process in the tumor microenvironment. In addition, the tumor microenvironment strongly supports the survival and growth of malignant tumor cells and further contributes to the reduced efficacy of anticancer therapy. Ionizing radiation can influence the tumor microenvironment, because it alters the biological functions of endothelial cells composing tumor vascular systems. However, to date, studies on the pivotal role of these endothelial cells in mediating the malignancy of cancer cells in the irradiated tumor microenvironment are rare. We previously evaluated the effects of irradiated endothelial cells on the malignant traits of human liver cancer cells and reported that endothelial cells irradiated with 2 Gy reinforce the malignant properties of these cancer cells. In this study, we investigated the signaling mechanisms underlying these events. We revealed that the increased expression level of IL-4 in endothelial cells irradiated with 2 Gy eventually led to enhanced migration and invasion of cancer cells and further expansion of cancer stem-like cells. In addition, this increased level of IL-4 activated the ERK and AKT signaling pathways to reinforce these events in cancer cells. Taken together, our data indicate that ionizing radiation may indirectly modulate malignancy by affecting endothelial cells in the tumor microenvironment. Importantly, these indirect effects on malignancy are thought to offer valuable clues or targets for overcoming the tumor recurrence after radiotherapy.

Abstract
Despite being discovered over 60 years ago, the precise role of phospholipase D (PLD) is still being elucidated. PLD enzymes catalyze the hydrolysis of the phosphodiester bond of glycerophospholipids producing phosphatidic acid and the free headgroup. PLD family members are found in organisms ranging from viruses, and bacteria to plants, and mammals. They display a range of substrate specificities, are regulated by a diverse range of molecules, and have been implicated in a broad range of cellular processes including receptor signaling, cytoskeletal regulation and membrane trafficking. Recent technological advances including: the development of PLD knockout mice, isoform-specific antibodies, and specific inhibitors are finally permitting a thorough analysis of the in vivo role of mammalian PLDs. These studies are facilitating increased recognition of PLD's role in disease states including cancers and Alzheimer's disease, offering potential as a target for therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
Phospholipase D1 (PLD1) is generally accepted as playing an important role in the regulation of multiple cell functions, such as cell growth, survival, differentiation, membrane trafficking, and cytoskeletal organization. Recent findings suggest that PLD1 also plays an important role in the regulation of neuronal differentiation of neuronal cells. Moreover, PLD1-mediated signaling molecules dynamically regulate the neuronal differentiation of neural stem cells (NSCs). Rho family GTPases and Ca2+-dependent signaling, in particular, are closely involved in PLD1-mediated neuronal differentiation of NSCs. Moreover, PLD1 has a significant effect on the neurogenesis of NSCs via the regulation of SHP-1/STAT3 activation. Therefore, PLD1 has now attracted significant attention as an essential neuronal signaling molecule in the nervous system. In the current review, we summarize recent findings on the regulation of PLD1 in neuronal differentiation and discuss the potential role of PLD1 in the neurogenesis of NSCs.

Turning Death to Growth: Hematopoietic Growth Factors Promote Neurite Outgrowth through MEK/ERK/p53 Pathway. Mol Neurobiol 2017; 55:5913-5925.

Abstract
Stem cell factor (SCF) and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) are the essential hematopoietic growth factors to control hematopoiesis. However, the role of SCF and G-CSF in the central nervous system remains poorly understood. Here, we have demonstrated the involvement of MEK/ERK/p53 signaling in SCF + G-CSF-enhanced neurite extension. Cortical neurons dissected from embryonic rat brains were seeded onto the membranes of transwell inserts, and neurite outgrowth was determined by using both the neurite outgrowth quantification assay kit and immunostaining of β III tubulin. Quantitative RT-PCR and western blotting were used for determining gene and protein expression of ERK and p53, respectively. p53 small interfering RNA (siRNAs) were introduced into neurons for examining the involvement of p53 in SCF + G-CSF-mediated neurite outgrowth. We observed that both SCF and G-CSF alone increased activation of MEK/ERK and gene expression of p53, while SCF + G-CSF synergistically activated the MEK/ERK signaling and upregulated p53 expression. MEK specific inhibitors (PD98059 and U0126) blocked the SCF + G-CSF-increased ERK phosphorylation and p53 gene and protein expression, and the MEK specific inhibitors also eliminated the SCF + G-CSF-promoted neurite outgrowth. p53 siRNAs knocked down the SCF + G-CSF-elevated p53 protein and prevented the SCF + G-CSF-enhanced neurite outgrowth. These findings suggest that activation of MEK/ERK/p53 signaling is required for SCF + G-CSF-promoted neurite outgrowth. Through the pro-apoptotic pathway of the MEK/ERK/p53, SCF + G-CSF turns neuronal fate from apoptotic commitment toward neural network generation. This observation provides novel insights into the putative role of SCF + G-CSF in supporting generation of neural connectivity during CNS development and in brain repair under pathological or neurodegenerative conditions.

Abstract
Phosphatidic acid (PA) is one of the phospholipids composing the plasma membrane and acts as a second messenger to regulate a wide variety of important cellular events, including mitogenesis, migration and differentiation. PA consists of various molecular species with different acyl chains at the sn-1 and sn-2 positions. However, it has been poorly understood what PA molecular species are produced during such cellular events. Here we identified the PA molecular species generated during retinoic acid (RA)-induced neuroblastoma cell differentiation using a newly established liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) method. Intriguingly, the amount of 32:0-PA species was dramatically and transiently increased in Neuro-2a neuroblastoma cells 24-48 h after RA-treatment. In addition, 30:0- and 34:0-PA species were also moderately increased. Moreover, similar results were obtained when Neuro-2a cells were differentiated for 24 h by serum starvation. MS/MS analysis revealed that 32:0-PA species contains two palmitic acids (16:0 s). RT-PCR analysis showed that diacylglycerol kinase (DGK) δ and DGKζ were highly expressed in Neuro-2a cells. The silencing of DGKζ expression significantly decreased the production of 32:0-PA species, whereas DGKδ-siRNA did not. Moreover, neurite outgrowth was also markedly attenuated by the deficiency of DGKζ. Taken together, these results indicate that DGKζ exclusively generates very restricted PA species, 16:0/16:0-PA, and up-regulates neurite outgrowth during the initial/early stage of neuroblastoma cell differentiation.

Abstract
Long-term memory (LTM) of fear stores activity dependent modifications that include changes in amygdala signaling. Previously, we identified an enhanced probability of release of glutamate mediated signaling to be important in rat fear potentiated startle (FPS), a well-established translational behavioral measure of fear. Here, we investigated short- and long-term synaptic plasticity in FPS involving metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) and associated downstream proteomic changes in the thalamic-lateral amygdala pathway (Th-LA). Aldolase A, an inhibitor of phospholipase D (PLD), expression was reduced, concurrent with significantly elevated PLD protein expression. Blocking the PLD-mGluR signaling significantly reduced PLD activity. While transmitter release probability increased in FPS, PLD-mGluR agonist and antagonist actions were occluded. In the unpaired group (UNP), blocking the PLD-mGluR increased while activating the receptor decreased transmitter release probability, consistent with decreased synaptic potentials during tetanic stimulation. FPS Post-tetanic potentiation (PTP) immediately following long-term potentiation (LTP) induction was significantly increased. Blocking PLD-mGluR signaling prevented PTP and reduced cumulative PTP probability but not LTP maintenance in both groups. These effects are similar to those mediated through mGluR7, which is co-immunoprecipitated with PLD in FPS. Lastly, blocking mGluR-PLD in the rat amygdala was sufficient to prevent behavioral expression of fear memory. Thus, our study in the Th-LA pathway provides the first evidence for PLD as an important target of mGluR signaling in amygdala fear-associated memory. Importantly, the PLD-mGluR provides a novel therapeutic target for treating maladaptive fear memories in posttraumatic stress and anxiety disorders.

Abstract
The development of vertebrate neurons requires a change in membrane phosphatidylcholine (PC) metabolism. Although PC hydrolysis is essential for enhanced axonal outgrowth mediated by phospholipase D (PLD), less is known about the determinants of PC metabolism on dendritic arborization. We show that protein arginine methyltransferase 8 (PRMT8) acts as a phospholipase that directly hydrolyzes PC, generating choline and phosphatidic acid. We found that PRMT8 knockout mice (prmt8 (-/-)) displayed abnormal motor behaviors, including hindlimb clasping and hyperactivity. Moreover, prmt8 (-/-) mice and TALEN-induced zebrafish prmt8 mutants and morphants showed abnormal phenotypes, including the development of dendritic trees in Purkinje cells and altered cerebellar structure. Choline and acetylcholine levels were significantly decreased, whereas PC levels were increased, in the cerebellum of prmt8 (-/-) mice. Our findings suggest that PRMT8 acts both as an arginine methyltransferase and as a PC-hydrolyzing PLD that is essential for proper neurological functions.

Phospholipase D1 increases Bcl-2 expression during neuronal differentiation of rat neural stem cells. Mol Neurobiol 2014; 51:1089-102. [PMID: 24986006 DOI: 10.1007/s12035-014-8773-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2014] [Accepted: 06/01/2014] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
We studied the possible role of phospholipase D1 (PLD1) in the neuronal differentiation, including neurite formation of neural stem cells. PLD1 protein and PLD activity increased during neuronal differentiation. Bcl-2 also increased. Downregulation of PLD1 by transfection with PLD1 siRNA or a dominant-negative form of PLD1 (DN-PLD1) inhibited both neurite outgrowth and Bcl-2 expression. PLD activity was dramatically reduced by a PLCγ (phospholipase Cγ) inhibitor (U73122), a Ca(2+)chelator (BAPTA-AM), and a PKCα (protein kinase Cα) inhibitor (RO320432). Furthermore, treatment with arachidonic acid (AA) which is generated by the action of PLA2 (phospholipase A2) on phosphatidic acid (a PLD1 product), increased the phosphorylation of p38 MAPK and CREB, as well as Bcl-2 expression, indicating that PLA2 is involved in the differentiation process resulting from PLD1 activation. PGE2 (prostaglandin E2), a cyclooxygenase product of AA, also increased during neuronal differentiation. Moreover, treatment with PGE2 increased the phosphorylation of p38 MAPK and CREB, as well as Bcl-2 expression, and this effect was inhibited by a PKA inhibitor (Rp-cAMP). As expected, inhibition of p38 MAPK resulted in loss of CREB activity, and when CREB activity was blocked with CREB siRNA, Bcl-2 production also decreased. We also showed that the EP4 receptor was required for the PKA/p38MAPK/CREB/Bcl-2 pathway. Taken together, these observations indicate that PLD1 is activated by PLCγ/PKCα signaling and stimulate Bcl-2 expression through PLA2/Cox2/EP4/PKA/p38MAPK/CREB during neuronal differentiation of rat neural stem cells.

Phospholipase D1 mediates bFGF-induced Bcl-2 expression leading to neurite outgrowth in H19-7 cells. Biochem J 2012; 441:407-16.

Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the role of PLD (phospholipase D) in bFGF (basic fibroblast growth factor)-induced Bcl-2 expression and to examine whether overexpressed Bcl-2 influences neurite outgrowth in immortalized hippocampal progenitor cells (H19-7 cells). We found that Bcl-2 expression was maximally induced by bFGF within 24 h, and that this effect was reduced by inhibiting PLD1 expression with PLD1 small interfering RNA or by overexpressing DN (dominant-negative)-PLD1, whereas PLD1 overexpression markedly induced Bcl-2 expression. bFGF treatment activated Ras, Src, PI3K (phosphoinositide 3-kinase), PLCγ (phospholipase Cγ) and PKCα (protein kinase Cα). Among these molecules, Src and PKCα were not required for Bcl-2 expression. PLD activity was decreased by Ras, PI3K or PLCγ inhibitor, suggesting that PLD1 activation occurred through Ras, PI3K or PLCγ. We found that Ras was the most upstream molecule among these proteins, followed by the PI3K/PLCγ pathway, indicating that bFGF-induced PLD activation took place through the Ras/PI3K/PLCγ pathway. Furthermore, PLD1 was required for activation of JNK (c-Jun N-terminal kinase), which led to activation of STAT3 (signal transducer and activator of transcription 3) and finally Bcl-2 expression. When Bcl-2 was overexpressed, neurite outgrowth was stimulated along with induction of neurotrophic factors such as brain-derived neurotrophic factor and neurotrophin 4/5. In conclusion, PLD1 acts as a downstream effector of bFGF/Ras/PI3K/PLCγ signalling and regulates Bcl-2 expression through JNK/STAT3, which leads to neurite outgrowth in H19-7 cells.

Dopamine-induced plasticity, phospholipase D (PLD) activity and cocaine-cue behavior depend on PLD-linked metabotropic glutamate receptors in amygdala. PLoS One 2011; 6:e25639.

Abstract
Cocaine-cue associations induce synaptic plasticity with long lasting molecular and cellular changes in the amygdala, a site crucial for cue-associated memory mechanisms. The underlying neuroadaptations can include marked alterations in signaling via dopamine (DA) receptors (DRs) and metabotropic glutamate (Glu) receptors (mGluRs). Previously, we reported that DR antagonists blocked forms of synaptic plasticity in amygdala slices of Sprague-Dawley rats withdrawn from repeated cocaine administration. In the present study, we investigated synaptic plasticity induced by exogenous DA and its dependence on mGluR signaling and a potential role for phospholipase D (PLD) as a downstream element linked to mGluR and DR signaling. Utilizing a modified conditioned place preference (CPP) paradigm as a functional behavioral measure, we studied the neurophysiological effects after two-weeks to the last cocaine conditioning. We recorded, electrophysiologically, a DR-induced synaptic potentiation in the basolateral to lateral capsula central amygdala (BLA-lcCeA) synaptic pathway that was blocked by antagonists of group I mGluRs, particularly, the PLD-linked mGluR. In addition, we observed 2–2.5 fold increase in PLD expression and 3.7-fold increase in basal PLD enzyme activity. The enhanced PLD activity could be further stimulated (9.3 fold) by a DA D1-like (D1/5R) receptor agonist, and decreased to control levels by mGluR1 and PLD-linked mGluR antagonists. Diminished CPP was observed by infusion of a PLD-linked mGluR antagonist, PCCG-13, in the amygdala 15 minutes prior to testing, two weeks after the last cocaine injection. These results imply a functional interaction between D1/5Rs, group I mGluRs via PLD in the amygdala synaptic plasticity associated with cocaine-cues.

Abstract
Both retrolinkin and its interaction partner endophilin A1 are required for BDNF-induced dendrite outgrowth of cultured hippocampal neurons. They function sequentially in an early endocytic trafficking pathway for BDNF-activated TrkB, which provides spatiotemporal control of downstream ERK signaling from endosomes. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) binds to its cell surface receptor TrkB to regulate differentiation, development, synaptic plasticity, and functional maintenance of neuronal cells. Binding of BDNF triggers TrkB dimerization and autophosphorylation, which provides docking sites for adaptor proteins to recruit and activate downstream signaling molecules. The molecular mechanisms underlying BDNF–TrkB endocytic trafficking crucial for spatiotemporal control of signaling pathways remain to be elucidated. Here we show that retrolinkin, a transmembrane protein, interacts with endophilin A1 and mediates BDNF-activated TrkB (pTrk) trafficking and signaling in CNS neurons. We find that activated TrkB colocalizes and interacts with the early endosome marker APPL1. Both retrolinkin and endophilin A1 are required for BDNF-induced dendrite development and acute extracellular signal-regulated kinase activation from early endosomes. Suppression of retrolinkin expression not only blocks BDNF-triggered TrkB internalization, but also prevents recruitment of endophilin A1 to pTrk vesicles trafficking through APPL1-positive endosomes. These findings reveal a novel mechanism for BDNF–TrkB to regulate signaling both in time and space through a specific membrane trafficking pathway.

Abstract
Alpha-toxin-induced phosphorylation of PDK1 via the tyrosine kinase A (TrkA) receptor signaling pathway plays an important role in the activation of rabbit neutrophils. The relation between the toxin and TrkA, however, remains poorly understood. Here, we show that the toxin-induced phosphorylation of TrkA is closely related to the induction of neurite-outgrowth in PC12 cells. The toxin induced neurite-outgrowth and phosphorylation of TrkA in the cells in a dose-dependent manner. K252a, a TrkA inhibitor, and shRNA for TrkA inhibited the toxin-induced neurite-outgrowth, and phosphorylation of TrkA and ERK1/2. PD98059, an inhibitor of the ERK1/2 cascade, inhibited phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and the neurite-outgrowth induced by alpha-toxin. The wild-type toxin induced the formation of diacylglycerol, and neurite-outgrowth, but H148G, a variant toxin which binds to cell membranes and has lost the enzymatic activity did not. We demonstrated that the phosphorylation of TrkA through the phospholipid metabolism induced by the toxin synergistically play a key role in neurite-outgrowth.

Abstract
As a dual-specificity phosphatase catalyzing the dephosphorylation of phosphatidylinositols and protein substrates, PTEN is critically involved in the nervous system development. However, the regulatory role of PTEN in neurite outgrowth is still controversial, and the downstream signaling events remain elusive. Here, we show that PTEN knockdown promoted the proliferation and survival but not the neurite outgrowth of rat pheochromocytoma PC12 cells when exposed to nerve growth factor (NGF). In contrast, selective PTEN silencing in differentiating PC12 cells that express nestin significantly facilitated neurite elongation. Elevated Akt and Erk1/2 phosphorylation was involved in accelerated NGF-induced neurite development of PC12 cells following PTEN knockdown. Discriminated roles of the lipid phosphatase and protein phosphatase activities of PTEN in neurite development, as well as the detailed molecular profiles affected by these phosphatase activities, were defined by restored expression of a lipid phosphatase-deficient PTEN mutant following endogenous PTEN silencing in PC12 cells. Our study suggests an overall inhibitory effect of PTEN in neurite development reconciled by a probably indispensable role of this phosphatase in the initiation of PC12 cell differentiation.

Abstract
Transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) have recently become the center of attention since they are thought to share some characteristics with experimental ischemic preconditioning (IPC). This phenomenon describes the situation that a brief, per se harmless, cerebral ischemic period renders the brain resistant to a subsequent severe and normally damaging ischemia. Preconditioning (PC) is not restricted to the brain but also occurs in other organs. Furthermore, apart from a short ischemia, the PC event may comprise nearly any noxious stimulus which, however, must not exceed the threshold to tissue damage. In the last two decades, our knowledge concerning the underlying molecular basis of PC has substantially grown and there is hope to potentially imitate the induction of an endogenous neuroprotective state in patients with a high risk of cerebral ischemia. While, at present, there is virtually no neuropathological data on changes after TIAs or TIA-like PC ischemic periods in human brains, the following review will briefly summarize the current knowledge of plastic neuronal changes after PC in animal models, still awaiting their detection in the human brain.

Abstract
Phospholipase D (PLD) hydrolyzes phosphatidylcholine to generate phosphatidic acid and choline. Studies in cultured cells and Drosophila melanogaster have implicated PLD in the regulation of many cellular functions, including intracellular vesicle trafficking, cell proliferation and differentiation. However, the function of PLD in vertebrate development has not been explored. Here we report cloning and characterization of a zebrafish PLD1 (pld1) homolog. Like mammalian PLDs, zebrafish Pld1 contains two conservative HKD motifs. Maternally contributed pld1 transcripts are uniformly distributed in early embryo. Localized expression of pld1 is observed in the notochord during early segmentation, in the somites during later segmentation and in the liver at the larval stages. Studies in intact and cell-free preparations demonstrate evolutionary conservation of regulation. Inhibition of Pld1 expression using antisense morpholino oligonucleotides (MO) interfering with the translation or splicing of pld1 impaired intersegmental vessel (ISV) development. Incubating embryos with 1-butanol, which diverts production of phosphatidic acid to a phosphatidylalcohol, caused similar ISV defects. To determine where Pld1 is required for ISV development we performed transplantation experiments. Analyses of the mosaic Pld1 deficient embryos showed partial suppression of ISV defects in the segments containing transplanted wild-type notochord cells but not in the ones containing wild-type somitic cells. These results provide the first evidence that function of Pld1 in the developing notochord is essential for vascular development in vertebrates.

Abstract
Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4), an obligatory cofactor for dopamine (DA) synthesis, has been shown to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) upon its autoxidation and induce selective dopaminergic cell death in many in vivo and in vitro models of Parkinson's disease (PD). The precise molecular mechanisms underlying neuronal death upon BH4 exposure, however, have not yet been well elucidated. The present study aims to examine the intracellular ROS production and the signal transduction pathways underlying the toxic effects of BH4 on human dopaminergic SH-SY5Y cells. The results show that BH4 treatment at concentrations ranging from 50microM to 400microM induces neuronal death in a dose-dependent manner. In concomitant with the elevation of intracellular ROS formation, BH4-induced activation of MAPK, p38 and ERK1/2 in SH-SY5Y cells is attenuated by pretreatment with MAPK inhibitors, SB203580 or PD98059. These data indicate that MAPK activation and oxidative stress are involved in BH4-induced dopaminergic cell death, possibly through the autoxidation of BH4 and subsequent ROS production.

Abstract
The protein kinase mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) is a critical regulator of cellular metabolism, growth, and proliferation. These processes contribute to tumor formation, and many cancers are characterized by aberrant activation of mTOR. Although activating mutations in mTOR itself have not been identified, deregulation of upstream components that regulate mTOR are prevalent in cancer. The prototypic mechanism of mTOR regulation in cells is through activation of the PI3K/Akt pathway, but mTOR receives input from multiple signaling pathways. This review will discuss Akt-dependent and -independent mechanisms of mTOR regulation in response to mitogenic signals, as well as its regulation in response to energy and nutrient-sensing pathways. Preclinical and clinical studies have demonstrated that tumors bearing genetic alterations that activate mTOR are sensitive to pharmacologic inhibition of mTOR. Elucidation of novel pathways that regulate mTOR may help identify predictive factors for sensitivity to mTOR inhibitors, and could provide new therapeutic targets for inhibiting the mTOR pathway in cancer. This review will also highlight pharmacologic approaches that inhibit mTOR via activation of the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), an important inhibitor of the mTOR pathway and an emerging target in cancer.

Abstract
Phospholipase D (PLD), which hydrolyzes phosphatidylcholine to phosphatidic acid (PA) and choline, is present in human platelets. Thrombin and other agonists have been shown to activate PLD but the precise mechanisms of activation and PLDs role in platelet activation remains unclear. We measured thrombin-stimulated PLD activity in platelets as formation of phosphatidylethanol. Since no specific PLD inhibitors exist, we investigated possible roles for PLD in platelets by correlating PLD activity with platelet responses such as thrombin-mediated secretion and F-actin formation (part of platelet shape change). Extracellular Ca2+ potentiated thrombin-stimulated PLD, but did not stimulate PLD in the absence of thrombin. Thrombin-induced PLD activity was enhanced by secreted ADP and binding of fibrinogen to its receptors. In contrast to others, we also found a basal PLD activity. Comparison of time courses and dose responses of platelets with PLD showed many points of correlation between PLD activation and lysosomal secretion and F-actin formation. The finding of different PLD activities suggested that different PLD isoenzymes exist in platelets as reported for other cells. Here we present evidence for the presence of both PLD1 and PLD2 in platelets by use of specific antibodies with immunoblotting and immunohistochemistry. Both isoforms were randomly localized in resting platelets, but became rapidly translocated to the proximity of the plasma membrane upon thrombin stimulation, thus indicating a role for PLD in platelet activation.

Abstract
Small GTPase Rac is a crucial regulator of actin cytoskeletal rearrangement, and it plays an important role in cell spreading, migration, mitogenesis, phagocytosis, superoxide generation, and axonal growth. It is generally accepted that Rac activity is regulated by the guanosine triphosphate (GTP)/guanosine diphosphate (GDP) cycle. But, it is suggested that in addition to Rac-GTP loading, membrane localization is required for the initiation of downstream effector signaling. However, the molecular mechanisms that control the targeting of GTP-Rac to the plasma membrane remain largely unknown. Here, we have uncovered a signaling pathway linking phospholipase D (PLD) to the localized functions of Rac1. We show that PLD product phosphatidic acid (PA) acts as a membrane anchor of Rac1. The C-terminal polybasic motif of Rac1 is responsible for direct interaction with PA, and Rac1 mutated in this region is incapable of translocating to the plasma membrane and of activating downstream target p21-activated kinase upon integrin activation. Finally, we show that PA induces dissociation of Rho-guanine nucleotide dissociation inhibitor from Rac1 and that PA-mediated Rac1 localization is important for integrin-mediated lamellipodia formation, cell spreading, and migration. These results provide a novel molecular mechanism for the GTP-Rac1 localization through the elevating PLD activity, and they suggest a general mechanism for diverse cellular functions that is required localized Rac activation.

Abstract
Neuronal firing patterns determine the manner of neurosecretion, the underlying mechanisms of which are poorly understood. Using supraoptic nuclei in brain slices from lactating rats, we examined the involvement of extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) and filamentous actin (F-actin) in burst generation by oxytocin (OT) neurons. Blocking phosphorylation of ERK1/2 (pERK1/2) decreased miniature EPSCs and blocked OT-evoked bursts, as did intracellularly loading an antibody against pERK1/2. OT (10 pM) increased cytosolic pERK1/2 close to the cell membrane within the first 5 min, subsiding by 30 min, whereas OT elicited pERK1/2 nuclear translocation in closely associated supraoptic astrocytes. The increased pERK1/2 was tightly correlated with spatiotemporal actin dynamics. In OT neurons, OT initially increased F-actin, particularly at membrane subcortical areas, and then decreased it after 30 min. Both polymerization and depolymerization of actin cytoskeleton were associated with bursts, but only polymerization facilitated OT-evoked bursts. Blocking ERK1/2 activation blocked OT-evoked actin polymerization, whereas depolymerizing F-actin increased pERK1/2 expression. These changes were further identified in vivo. In intact animals, suckling increased ERK1/2 activation in the cytosol and membrane subcortical area F-actin formation in OT neurons, whereas it increased F-actin concentration in astrocytic somata. Coimmunoprecipitation showed that suckling increased molecular interactions between pERK1/2 and actin. Finally, two different blockers of ERK1/2 kinase injected intracerebroventricularly reduced suckling-evoked milk ejections. This is the first demonstration that OT mediation of suckling-evoked bursts/milk ejections is via interactions between pERK1/2 and actin cytoskeleton.

Abstract
It is well known that small quantities of nickel (Ni) are essential for plant species, and higher concentrations of Ni retard plant growth. However, the molecular mechanisms responsible for the regulation of plant growth by Ni are not well understood. The aim of this study is to investigate the early signalling pathways activated by Ni on rice (Oryza sativa L.) root. We showed that Ni elicited a remarkable increase in myelin basic protein (MBP) kinase activities. By immunoblot and immunoprecipitation analyses, it is suggested that Ni-activated 40- and 42-kDa MBP kinases are mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs). Pretreatment of rice roots with the antioxidant, glutathione (GSH), the phospholipase D (PLD) inhibitor, n-butanol, and the calmodulin and CDPK antagonist and W7 inhibited Ni-induced MAPK activation. These results suggest that various signalling components are involved in transduction of the Ni signal in rice roots.

Abstract
Hallmarks of neuronal differentiation are neurite sprouting, extension, and branching. We previously showed that increased expression of CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase beta2 (CTbeta2), an isoform of a key phosphatidylcholine (PC) biosynthetic enzyme, accompanies neurite outgrowth (Carter, J. M., Waite, K. A., Campenot, R. B., Vance, J. E., and Vance, D. E. (2003) J. Biol. Chem. 278, 44988-44994). CTbeta2 mRNA is highly expressed in the brain. We show that CTbeta2 is abundant in axons of rat sympathetic neurons and retinal ganglion cells. We used RNA silencing to decrease CTbeta2 expression in PC12 cells differentiated by nerve growth factor. In CTbeta2-silenced cells, numbers of primary and secondary neurites were markedly reduced, suggesting that CTbeta2 facilitates neurite outgrowth and branching. However, the length of individual neurites was significantly increased, and the total amount of neuronal membrane was unchanged. Neurite branching of PC12 cells is known to be inhibited by activation of Akt and promoted by the Akt inhibitor LY294002. Our experiments showed that LY294002 increases neurite sprouting and branching in control PC12 cells but not in CTbeta2-deficient cells. CTbeta2 was not phosphorylated in vitro by Akt. However, inhibition of Cdk5 by roscovitine blocked CTbeta2 phosphorylation and reduced neurite outgrowth and branching. These results highlight the importance of CTbeta2 in neurons for promoting neurite outgrowth and branching and represent the first identification of a lipid biosynthetic enzyme that facilitates these functions.

Abstract
Neurotrophins and their receptors play a key role in neurogenesis and survival. However, we and others have recently obtained evidence for a potential involvement of this receptor system in leukemia. To investigate mechanisms underlying the leukemogenic potential of activated neurotrophin receptor signaling, we analyzed in vivo leukemogenesis mediated by deltaTrkA, a mutant of TRKA (tropomyosin-related kinase A) isolated from a patient with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Retroviral expression of deltaTrkA in myeloid 32D cells induced AML in syngeneic C3H/Hej mice (n=11/11, latency approximately 4 weeks). C57Bl/6J mice transplanted with deltaTrkA-transduced primary lineage negative (Lin-) bone marrow cells died of a transient polyclonal AML (n=7/15, latency of <12 days). Serial transplantation of AML cells did not re-induce this disease but rather acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL, latency >78 days). All primary recipients surviving the early AML developed clonal ALL or myeloid leukemia (latency >72 days) that required additional genetic lesions. PI3K and mTOR-raptor were identified as the crucial mediators of leukemic transformation, whereas STAT and MAP kinase signaling pathways were not activated. Thus, our findings reveal potent and unique transforming properties of altered neurotrophin receptor signaling in leukemogenesis, and encourage further analyses of neurotrophin receptors and downstream signaling events in hematological malignancies.

Abstract
Nijmegen breakage syndrome (NBS) is an autosomal recessive disorder, characterized by progressive microcephaly, growth retardation, immunodeficiency, and pre-disposition to tumor formation. To investigate the functions of the NBS gene product, NBS1, on neurons, PC12 cells overexpressing NBS1 and related mutants and primary cortical neuronal culture were used in the present study. Small interfering RNA (siRNA) was applied to repress the expression of endogenous Nbs1 in PC12 cells and primary cortical neurons. We demonstrated that overexpression of NBS1 increases cellular proliferation and decreases the apoptosis of PC12 cells in serum withdrawal and ionizing irradiation, through the activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase)/Akt pathway. Overexpression of NBS1 also decreases neurite elongation on PC12 cells under nerve growth factor stimulation. Transfection of NBS1-overexpressing PC12 cells with a dominant negative Akt mutant attenuates the neuroprotection and cellular proliferation effects of NBS1 while having no effect on neurite elongation. PC12 cells overexpressing NBS657del5 and NBS653 mutants, in which the major NBS1 protein in cells are truncated proteins, have decreased cellular proliferation, increased cell death, and decreased neurite elongation compared with those of control PC12 cells. Repression of Nbs1 by siRNA decreases the PI 3-kinase activity and Akt phosphorylation levels, and induces neurite elongation in PC12 cells even without nerve growth factor stimulation. Repression of Nbs1 by siRNA in primary cortical neurons also increased neurite elongation, but increased neuronal death. We conclude that NBS1 can regulate neuronal proliferation and neuroprotection via PI 3-kinase/Akt pathway while regulating neuronal differentiation in a different pathway. Excessive accumulation of truncated protein secondary to 657del5 mutation may be detrimental to neurons, leading to defective neuronal proliferation and differentiation.

Abstract
Phospholipase D (PLD) is implicated in a variety of physiological processes that reveal it to be a member of the signal transducing phospholipases. We found that PLD1 is activated when basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) stimulates neurite outgrowth of an immortalized hippocampal cell line (H19-7). Overexpression of PLD1 in H19-7 cells dramatically elongated bFGF-induced neurite outgrowth and increased PLD activity. Transfection of DN-rPLD1 blocked bFGF-induced PLD activation and completely inhibited neurite outgrowth induced by bFGF, suggesting that PLD1 activation is important in bFGF-induced neurite outgrowth of H19-7 cells. PLD activation and neurite outgrowth induced by bFGF was dependent on phospholipase C gamma (PLC-gamma) and Ca2+, but not protein kinase C (PKC). Furthermore, inhibition of Src and Ras partially blocked bFGF-induced PLD activation and neurite outgrowth, respectively. Coinhibition of Src and Ras completely blocked bFGF-induced PLD activation, suggesting that Src and Ras independently regulate PLD1 activation. Interestingly, bFGF-induced PLD activation and neurite outgrowth did not require ERK1/2 activated by Ras. Taken together, this study demonstrates that bFGF activates PLD1 through PLC-gamma activation, which leads to neurite outgrowth in H19-7 cells. Furthermore, our results show that PLD1 activation by bFGF is regulated by Src and Ras independently.

Abstract
Extracellular signal regulated kinases (ERKs) represent a signalling hub in many physiological responses and have pivotal functions in cell proliferation, differentiation, development and death, as well as in synaptic plasticity. Mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphatases (MKPs) selectively inactivate ERKs by dephosphorylating critical phosphothreonine and phosphotyrosine residues. Transcriptional induction of MKP expression and posttranscriptional stabilization of MKP mRNA are well-documented as negative-feedback mechanisms for ERK signalling. Vaccinia-related kinase 3 (VRK3) is a member of the novel VRK family, but its function has not been defined. Here, we show that VRK3 suppresses ERK activity through direct binding to one of the MKPs, vaccinia H1-related (VHR), which specifically dephosphorylates and inactivates ERK in the nucleus. Notably, VRK3 enhances the phosphatase activity of VHR by a mechanism independent of its kinase activity. VRK3 is therefore a member of a new class of phosphatase-activating kinases that regulate the activity of ERK. Our findings show that direct interaction of VHR with VRK3 posttranslationally regulates ERK signalling.

Abstract
Presenilins (PS1/PS2) regulate proteolysis of beta-amyloid precursor protein (betaAPP) and affect its intracellular trafficking. Here, we demonstrate that a PS1-interacting protein, phospholipase D1 (PLD1), affects intracellular trafficking of betaAPP. Overexpression of PLD1 in PS1wt cells promotes generation of betaAPP-containing vesicles from the trans-Golgi network. Conversely, inhibition of PLD1 activity by 1-butanol decreases betaAPP trafficking in both wt and PS1-deficient cells. The subcellular localization of PLD1 is altered, and PLD enzymatic activity is reduced in cells expressing familial Alzheimer's disease (FAD) PS1 mutations compared with PS1wt cells. Overexpression of wt, but not catalytically inactive, PLD1 increases budding of betaAPP-containing vesicles from the trans-Golgi network in FAD mutant cells. Surface delivery of betaAPP is also increased by PLD1 in these cells. The impaired neurite outgrowth capacity in FAD mutant neurons was corrected by introducing PLD1 into these cells. The results indicate that PLD1 may represent a therapeutic target for rescuing compromised neuronal function in AD.

Abstract
We have found previously that phosphatidic acid (PA) can induce inflammatory mediators such as cytokines, which implies that PA plays a role in inflammatory response. In the present study, we provide evidence of the PA-mediated activation of the Janus tyrosine kinase (JAK)-signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) signaling pathway, which results in the production of interleukin (IL)-1beta and IL-6. PA elicited the rapid phosphorylations of JAK2 and STAT1/3, and the subsequent nuclear translocation. Macrophages that had been transiently transfected with a luciferase reporter construct containing eight consecutive gamma-interferon activating sequence (GAS) elements, a known STAT binding site, exhibited enhanced reporter gene activity in response to PA stimulation, which further supports the involvement of JAK-STAT activation in the PA-induced signaling pathway. Of the inflammatory cytokines, IL-1beta, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha were detected in media from macrophages stimulated with PA. Moreover, the JAK2 inhibitor alpha-cyano-(3,4-dihydroxy)-N-benzylcinnamide (AG-490) abolished PA-induced IL-1beta and IL-6 release but not TNF-alpha production, which is consistent with the notion that IL-1beta and IL-6 but not TNF-alpha contain a STAT binding element in their promoter region. The knockdown of JAK2 in macrophages by small interfering RNA significantly attenuated PA-induced IL-1beta and IL-6 production. In addition, JAK2 inhibitor suppressed PA-induced Akt phosphorylation, and the Akt inhibitor 2-(4-morpholinyl)-8-phenyl-4H-1-benzopyran-4-one (LY294002) blocked GAS activation (GAS contains a promoter that responds to PA), suggesting that PA-mediated JAK2 activation leads to phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/Akt phosphorylation and STAT activation, and the subsequent translocation of STAT to the nucleus. Together, our data demonstrate that PA-activated macrophages produce IL-1beta and IL-6 and that these processes require the activation of the JAK2-STAT1/3 or JAK2-Akt-STAT signaling pathways.

Abstract
Ten years after the isoforms of mammalian phospholipase D (PLD), PLD1 and 2, were cloned, their roles in the brain remain speculative but several lines of evidence now implicate these enzymes in basic cell functions such as vesicular trafficking as well as in brain development. Many mitogenic factors, including neurotransmitters and growth factors, activate PLD in neurons and astrocytes. Activation of PLD downstream of protein kinase C seems to be a required step for astroglial proliferation. The characteristic disruption of the PLD signaling pathway by ethanol probably contributes to the delay of brain growth in fetal alcohol syndrome. The post-natal increase of PLD activities concurs with synapto- and myelinogenesis in the brain and PLD is apparently involved in neurite formation. In the adult and aging brain, PLD activity has antiapoptotic properties suppressing ceramide formation. Increased PLD activities in acute and chronic neurodegeneration as well as in inflammatory processes are evidently due to astrogliosis and may be associated with protective responses of tissue repair and remodeling. ARF-regulated PLD participates in receptor endocytosis as well as in exocytosis of neurotransmitters where PLD seems to favor vesicle fusion by modifications of the shape and charge of lipid membranes. Finally, PLD activities contribute free choline for the synthesis of acetylcholine in the brain. Novel tools such as RNA interference should help to further elucidate the roles of PLD isoforms in brain physiology and pathology.

Abstract
The renal glomerulus, the site of plasma ultrafiltration, is exposed to mechanical force in vivo arising from capillary blood pressure and fluid flow. Studies of cultured podocytes demonstrate that they respond to stretch by altering the structure of the actin cytoskeleton, but the mechanisms by which physical force triggers this architectural change and the signaling pathways that lead to generation of second messengers are not defined. In the present study, we found that in renal epithelial cells [podocytes and Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells], application of mechanical force to the cell surface through fibronectin-coated ferric beads and exposure of the cells to magnetic force lead to Rho translocation and actin cytoskeleton reorganization. This application of force recruited Rho and filamentous actin (F-actin) to bead loci and subsequently stimulated phospholipase D (PLD), a downstream effector of Rho. Using MDCK cells that stably express regulators of G protein-signaling (RGS) proteins [RGS4 attenuates Galpha(i) and Galpha(q), and the p115RhoGEF-RGS domain (p115-RGS) attenuates Galpha(12/13)] to define the signaling pathway, we found that mechanical force induced Galpha(12/13)-Rho activation and increased F-actin to stimulate PLD activity. The activation can be partially prevented by the C(3) exoenzyme. Pretreatment of the cells with chemical inhibitors of several kinases showed that calmodulin-dependent kinase is also involved in stretch-induced PLD activation by a separate pathway. Taken together, our data demonstrate that in cultured podocytes and MDCK cells, mechanical force leads to actin cytoskeleton reorganization and PLD activation. The signaling pathways for PLD activation involve Galpha(12/13)/Rho/F-actin and calmodulin-dependent kinase.

Abstract
Employing neural stem cells from the brain cortex of E12 rat embryos, we investigated the possible role of phospholipase D (PLD) in the synaptogenesis and neurite formation of neural cells during differentiation. Expression level of PLD1 increased during neuronal differentiation of the neural stem cells, resulting in increased PLD activity. Expression level of synapsin I, a marker of synaptogenesis, also increased as the differentiation of neural stem cells progressed. To figure out the effect of PLD on synapsin I expression, we treated the neural stem cells with phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) to stimulate PLD activity. Increased PLD activity induced by PMA treatment resulted in elevated synapsin I expression and neurite outgrowth during neuronal differentiation. To further confirm the role of PLD in neurite outgrowth, we transfected the dominant-negative form of rat PLD1 cDNA (DN-rPLD1) into neural stem cells to downregulate PLD activity. Overexpression of DN-rPLD1 showed the complete inhibition of neurite outgrowth of neural stem cells under differentiation condition. While transfection of DN-rPLD1 did not affect the synapsin I expression, overexpression of rPLD1 resulted in increased synapsin I expression of the neural cells. These results suggest that PLD1 plays a critical role in neurite outgrowth during differentiation of the neural stem cells. In conclusion, this is the first evidence to show that PLD1 acts as an important regulator of neurite outgrowth in neural stem cell by promoting neuronal differentiation via increase of synapsin I expression.
