Abstract
Leukocyte inflammatory responses require integrin cell-adhesion molecule signaling through spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk), a non-receptor kinase that binds directly to integrin β-chain cytoplasmic domains. Here, we developed a high-throughput screen to identify small molecule inhibitors of the Syk-integrin cytoplasmic domain interactions. Screening small molecule compound libraries identified the β-lactam antibiotics cefsulodin and ceftazidime, which inhibited integrin β-subunit cytoplasmic domain binding to the tandem SH2 domains of Syk (IC50 range, 1.02-4.9 µM). Modeling suggested antagonist binding to Syk outside the pITAM binding site. Ceftazidime inhibited integrin signaling via Syk, including inhibition of adhesion-dependent upregulation of interleukin-1β and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, but did not inhibit ITAM-dependent phosphorylation of Syk mediated by FcγRI signaling. Our results demonstrate a novel means to target Syk independent of its kinase and pITAM binding sites such that integrin signaling via this kinase is abrogated but ITAM-dependent signaling remains intact. As integrin signaling through Syk is essential for leukocyte activation, this may represent a novel approach to target inflammation.

The N-terminal SH2 domain of Syk is required for (hem)ITAM, but not integrin, signaling in mouse platelets. Blood 2014; 125:144-54.

Abstract
We have used a novel knockin mouse to investigate the effect of disruption of phosphotyrosine binding of the N-terminal SH2 domain of Syk on platelet activation by GPVI, CLEC-2, and integrin αIIbβ3. The Syk(R41Afl/fl) mouse was crossed to a PF4-Cre(+) mouse to induce expression of the Syk mutant in the megakaryocyte/platelet lineage. Syk(R41Afl/fl;PF4-Cre) mice are born at approximately 50% of the expected frequency and have a similar phenotype to Syk(fl/fl;PF4-Cre) mice, including blood-lymphatic mixing and chyloascites. Anastomosis of the venous and lymphatic vasculatures can be seen in the mesenteric circulation accounting for rapid and continuous mixing of the 2 vasculatures. Platelet activation by CLEC-2 and GPVI is abolished in Syk(R41Afl/fl;PF4-Cre) platelets. Syk phosphorylation on Tyr519/20 is blocked in CLEC-2-stimulated platelets, suggesting a model in which binding of Syk via its N-terminal SH2 domain regulates autophosphorylation. In contrast, outside-in signaling by integrin αIIbβ3 is not altered, but it is inhibited in the presence of inhibitors of Src and Syk tyrosine kinases. These results demonstrate that αIIbβ3 regulates Syk through an ITAM-independent pathway in mice and provide novel insight into the course of events underlying Syk activation and hemITAM phosphorylation by CLEC-2.

Abstract
Src is a known regulator of focal adhesion turnover in migrating cells; but, in contrast, Src is generally assumed to play little role in differentiated, contractile vascular smooth muscle (dVSM). The goal of the present study was to determine if Src-family kinases regulate focal adhesion proteins and how this might affect contractility of non-proliferative vascular smooth muscle. We demonstrate here, through the use of phosphotyrosine screening, deconvolution microscopy imaging, and differential centrifugation, that the activity of Src family kinases in aorta is regulated by the alpha agonist and vasoconstrictor phenylephrine, and leads to focal adhesion protein phosphorylation and remodeling in dVSM. Furthermore, Src inhibition via morpholino knockdown of Src or by the small molecule inhibitor PP2 prevents phenylephrine-induced adhesion protein phosphorylation, markedly slows the tissue's ability to contract, and decreases steady state contractile force amplitude. Significant vasoconstrictor-induced and Src-dependent phosphorylation of Cas pY-165, FAK pY-925, paxillin pY-118, and Erk1/2 were observed. However, increases in FAK 397 phosphorylation were not seen, demonstrating differences between cells in tissue versus migrating, proliferating cells. We show here that Src, in a cause and effect manner, regulates focal adhesion protein function and, consequently, modulates contractility during the action of a vasoconstrictor. These data point to the possibility that vascular focal adhesion proteins may be useful drug discovery targets for novel therapeutic approaches to cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
The Src family of protooncoproteins is required for prc through at least two phases of the cell cycle and for sc cell-type-specific functions. Recent crystal structures of fragments of two representatives reveal a compact am their Src-homology 3 (SH3), SH2 and catalytic domai embodies an unexpected mechanism of regulation. Th. the enzymatic activity of Src is controlled by intramol associations between the SH2 domain and C-tail and SH3 domain and a surprising internal target. The stn highlight a mechanism by which substrates can comp internal sequences for binding to the SH3 and SH2 do thereby stimulating kinase activity. This implies that distinction between upstream activators and downstre will sometimes be ambiguous.

Abstract
BTG2 is a tumor suppressor gene. It is frequently downregulated in human cancer tissues, and its loss is associated with cancer cell metastasis, suggesting that the suppression of BTG2 plays a critical role in cancer cell migration and invasion. Here, we report that re-expression of BTG2 decreased cell migration and invasion in A549 and PC3 cancer cells. Furthermore, BTG2 expression was correlated with downregulation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) Tyr576 and Tyr925 residues phosphorylation, while Tyr397 which is the autophosphorylation site was not influenced by BTG2 expression. c-Src phosphorylation which is the upstream of FAK was not influenced, whereas c-Src kinase activity was significantly decreased by BTG2 expression. BTG2 overexpression increased Src reduction state and inhibited reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation by being localized in mitochondria. Mitochondria-target BTG2 also inhibited cell migration via downregulation of Src-FAK signaling. In conclusion, our study reveals that BTG2 negatively regulated cancer cell migration by inhibiting Src activity through downregulation of ROS generation in mitochondria.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Peptide LSARLAF (LSA) can bind and activate integrin αIIbβ3 in the absence of 'inside-out' signal. The active αIIbβ3 mediates 'outside-in' signaling that elicits platelet aggregation, granule secretion and TxA2 production. Here we identify the membrane glycoproteins which mediate LSA-induced platelet activation other than αIIbβ3, and determine the roles of Src, PLCγ2, FcRγ-chain, and SLP-76 in LSA-induced platelet activation. METHOD Ligand-receptor binding assay was performed to study the effect of peptide LSA or its control peptide FRALASL (FRA) on integrins binding to their ligands. Spreading of CHO cells expressing αIIbβ3 or αVβ3 on immobilized fibrinogen was measured in the presence of LSA or FRA. Washed β3, Src, FcRγ-chain, LAT and SLP-76 deficient platelets aggregation and secretion were tested in response to LSA. RESULTS Ligand-receptor binding assay indicated that LSA promoted the binding of multiple ligands to αIIbβ3 or αVβ3. LSA also enhanced CHO cells with αIIbβ3 or αVβ3 expression spreading on immobilized fibrinogen. β3 deficient platelets failed to aggregate and secrete in response to LSA. The phosphorylation of PLCγ2 and Syk was also β3 dependent. Src, FcRγ-chain, LAT and SLP-76 deficient platelets did not aggregate, secrete ATP or produce TxA2 in response to LSA. CONCLUSION LSA-induced platelet activation is β3 dependent, and signaling molecules Src, FcRγ-chain, SLP-76 and LAT play crucial roles in LSA-induced β3 mediated signaling.

Abstract
This paper focuses on the role that mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) play in drug-induced kidney injury. The MAPKs, of which there are four major classes (ERK, p38, JNK, and ERK5/BMK), are signalling cascades which have been found to be broadly conserved across a wide variety of organisms. MAPKs allow effective transmission of information from the cell surface to the cytosolic or nuclear compartments. Cross talk between the MAPKs themselves and with other signalling pathways allows the cell to modulate responses to a wide variety of external stimuli. The MAPKs have been shown to play key roles in both mediating and ameliorating cellular responses to stress including xenobiotic-induced toxicity. Therefore, this paper will discuss the specific role of the MAPKs in the kidney in response to injury by a variety of xenobiotics and the potential for therapeutic intervention at the level of MAPK signalling across different types of kidney disease.

Abstract
Abstract
Polycythemia vera (PV) and essential thrombocythemia (ET) are chronic myeloproliferative disorders characterized by an increased incidence of thrombo-hemorrhagic complications. The acquired somatic Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) V617F mutation is present in the majority of PV and ET patients. Because aberrant protein Tyr-phosphorylation has been associated with hematopoietic malignancies, the activity of the tyrosine kinases Src and JAK2 was analyzed in resting and thrombin-stimulated platelets from 13 PV and 42 ET patients. JAK2 was found inactive in healthy and pathological resting cells regardless of the V617F mutation. In addition, Src was inactive in all resting platelets, but in the pathological specimens it was present in a preactivated conformation as a consequence of anomalous dephosphorylation of its inhibitory phospho-Tyr527 residue, likely mediated by Src homology-2 domain-containing protein Tyr-phosphatase-2 (SHP-2), whose constitutive activity correlated with its recruitment to Src. Low thrombin concentration triggered a more rapid Src-signaling activation, higher [Ca2+]c increase, and aggregation in pathological platelets compared with controls. Thrombin-induced Src activation preceded JAK2 activation, which occurred simultaneously in normal and pathological platelets. Our results indicate that a constitutive Src kinase preactivation is implicated in platelet hypersensitivity and likely involved, at least partially, in the functional abnormalities of PV and ET platelets.

Abstract
It is currently accepted that activity of the integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3) is modulated by direct interaction between its cytoplasmic tails (CTs) and association of cytoplasmic proteins with them, and disruption of the close linkage between CTs leads to activation of alpha(IIb)beta(3) (inside-out signaling). We previously reported that ancient ubiquitous protein (Aup1) binds to the membrane-proximal sequence of integrin alphaCTs that plays a pivotal role in the inside-out signaling. To explore biological function of Aup1, we examined in this study interaction of Aup1 with Src and Syk that are quickly activated in platelets before fibrinogen binding following thrombin stimulation. By immunoprecipitation assay with resting platelets, we first found that alpha(IIb)beta(3), Src, Syk, and Aup1 are constitutively complexed. In vitro binding study with recombinant Syk and glutathione (GSH) S-transferase (GST) - Src, -Aup1, and -alpha(IIb) and - beta(3) CTs that are immobilized to GSH- beads revealed direct binding of Syk to Aup1 as well as the beta(3) CT. Dot blot analysis with synthetic peptides for alpha(IIb) and beta(3) CTs, and GST-Aup1 and -Src immobilized to PVDF membrane exhibited concordant result with the GST pull-down assay. Immunoprecipitation of platelet lysates 10 seconds after thrombin stimulation, when activity and tyrosine phosphorylation of Syk are maimum, exhibited that active Syk does not coprecipitate with Aup1. In vitro kinase assay with GST-Syk and -Aup1 proteins at the presence or absence of active Src, a potent activator of Syk, revealed that Aup1 does not directly influence activation of Syk by autophosphorylation or tyrosine phosphorylation by Src. These results indicate that Aup1 is an adaptor recruiting Syk to the alpha(IIb) CT, and suggest that the alpha(IIb) -Aup1- Syk- beta(3) complex formation links alpha(IIb) and beta(3) CTs to sustain alpha(IIb)beta(3) in an inactive state and Syk dissociates from Aup1 after activation.

Abstract
Artemin, one of the glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) family, enhances the generation and survival of early sympathetic neurons and superior cervical ganglion (SCG) neurons. Src-family kinases (SFK) are involved in the growth and differentiation of cells, which are composed of unique Src homology 2 (SH2), Src homology 3 (SH3) and kinase domains. Various extra-cellular molecules containing growth factors and G-protein coupled receptors stimulate SFK. In this report, artemin is shown to have a significant effect on the neurite growth of dorsal root ganglia (DRG) neurons. Also, artemin triggers Src-family kinase activation and the phosphorylation of extra-cellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK) mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK). Artemin also regulated actin polymerization. There are several indications that another SH3-containing protein, Hck, and an SH3-containing adaptor protein, Nck1, play an important role in the organization of the actin cytoskeleton by cellular signalling. These findings suggest that the exploration of binding partners for the SH3 domain could provide an insight into regulation between the microtubule and actin networks. The binding partners for the SH3 domains of Nck, Src and Hck that we identified were Smc chromosome segregation ATPases, FOG Zn-finger protein and the FYVE zinc-binding domain, respectively.

Abstract
In osteoclasts, polyphosphoinositides such as phosphatidylinositol 4,5 bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P2) and phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5 trisphosphate (PI(3,4,5)P3) are produced in response to integrin alphavbeta3 signaling and they have a critical role in actin cytoskeleton remodeling. The levels of PI(4,5)P2 and PI(3,4,5)P3 are regulated by Rho GTPase through the activation of phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinase (PI4P-5 kinase) and phospatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3 kinase), respectively. Interaction of PI(4,5)P2 with gelsolin and Wiscott-Aldrich syndrome protein (WASP) is critical for podosome assembly/disassembly and actin ring formation in osteoclasts. Interaction of PI(3,4,5)P3 with gelsolin functions in orchestrating the podosome signaling complex consisting of several key signaling molecules. Gelsolin deficiency has been shown to block podosome assembly and motility in mouse osteoclasts. However, these osteoclasts are able to form a WASP-containing actin ring and retain their resorptive function. The TAT-mediated delivery of gelsolin phosphoinositide-binding domains into osteoclasts resulted in production of podosome clusters and disruption of actin ring formation. Hence, these osteoclasts were hypomotile and less resorptive. Our observations suggest that both PI(4,5)P2 and PI(3,4,5)P3 are involved in regulating osteoclast functions through modulation of severing, capping, and nucleating functions of actin-binding proteins.

Abstract
Craniofacial distraction osteogenesis (DO) is an evolving reconstructive technique with expanding applications for the treatment of bony deficiencies of the facial skeleton. Mechanical force has been known to play a fundamental role in modulating sustained osteogenic response and therefore is believed to function as a critical regulator of DO. We hypothesize that key clustering components of an integrin-mediated signaling pathway, including c-Src (pp60), are necessary for mediating the response to mechanical force. The specific aim of this study is to demonstrate up-regulation of a key focal adhesion molecule, c-Src, selectively in new bone formation subject to the mechanical forces of distraction and to demonstrate a lack of that same up-regulation in new bone formation associated with simple fracture healing. An additional specific aim is to demonstrate colocalization of c-Src expression and bone morphogenetic protein (BMP 2/4) expression during mandibular DO. Using a rat model of mandibular DO, c-Src and BMP 2/4 expression were evaluated in critical size defects, subcritical size defects, and mandibles undergoing gradual distraction. Osseous regeneration was observed in the course of gradual distraction; this process was associated with increased expression of c-Src. Furthermore, the presence of BMP 2/4 closely approximated c-Src expression spatially and temporally, suggesting a link between cytoplasmic focal adhesion activation and the resultant nuclear regulation of osteogenic protein expression. In significant contradistinction, minimal c-Src expression was found in the subcritical-sized defects where the fractures healed secondarily but where no gradual distraction was performed. Instead, the new bone formation inherent in the secondarily healed subcritical-sized defects demonstrated expected BMP 2/4 expression but was devoid of an up-regulation of c-Src. Finally, as expected, minimal expression of both c-Src and BMP was found in fibrous nonunion specimens. C-src expression was observed during gradual distraction; furthermore, minimal c-Src expression was visualized during subacute and critical-size defect fracture healing. C-Src expression also closely approximated BMP expression during DO. These findings that c-Src expression is found primarily only during conditions of cyclic distraction forces strongly implicates that mechanical force during gradual distraction is associated with c-Src expression. These results provide in vivo support for previous in vitro evidence that mechanical force profoundly influences osseous regeneration during distraction osteogenesis by means of a c-Src dependent mechanotransduction pathway, resulting in increased expression of osteogenic proteins, including BMP 2/4.

Abstract
Stable platelet aggregation, adhesion, and spreading during hemostasis are promoted by outside-in αIIbβ3 signals that feature rapid activation of c-Src and Syk, delayed activation of FAK, and cytoskeletal reorganization. To evaluate these αIIbβ3–tyrosine kinase interactions at nanometer proximity in living cells, we monitored bioluminescence resonance energy transfer between GFP and Renilla luciferase chimeras and bimolecular fluorescence complementation between YFP half-molecule chimeras. These techniques revealed that αIIbβ3 interacts with c-Src at the periphery of nonadherent CHO cells. After plating cells on fibrinogen, complexes of αIIbβ3–c-Src, αIIbβ3–Syk, and c-Src–Syk are observed in membrane ruffles and focal complexes, and the interactions involving Syk require Src activity. In contrast, FAK interacts with αIIbβ3 and c-Src, but not with Syk, in focal complexes and adhesions. All of these interactions require the integrin β3 cytoplasmic tail. Thus, αIIbβ3 interacts proximally, if not directly, with tyrosine kinases in a coordinated, selective, and dynamic manner during sequential phases of αIIbβ3 signaling to the actin cytoskeleton.

Abstract
Angiotensin II (Ang II) plays an important role in several cardiovascular diseases associated with vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) growth and migration. Src activity is known to be required for the migration of a number of cell types. p130Cas was reported to be essential for cell migration and actin filament reorganization. Mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases were also reported to be critical regulatory factors for growth and migration of VSMC. However, precise intracellular mechanisms involving c-Src, p130Cas, and MAP kinases in Ang II-stimulated migration of VSMC have not been well elucidated. Here we demonstrated that Ang II rapidly and significantly stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of Src and Cas and their association in rat aortic smooth muscle cells (RASMC). Ang II-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of Src and Cas and activation of ERK1/2 and JNK, but not p38, were potently inhibited by Src family tyrosine kinase inhibitors, herbimycin A (HA) and PP2. Ang II-stimulated Src and Cas association, tyrosine phosphorylation of Cas, and activation of ERK1/2 and JNK were suppressed in kinase-inactive Src (KI Src)-overexpressed RASMC. Ang II-stimulated JNK activation but not ERK1/2 activation was blocked in substrate domain-deleted Cas (DeltaSD Cas)-overexpressed RASMC. In addition, HA, PP2, ERK1/2 inhibitor, 2'-amino-3'-methoxyflavone (PD98059) and JNK inhibitor, and anthra[1,9-cd]pyrazol-6(2H)-one (SP600125) significantly inhibited Ang II-stimulated migration of RASMC. Ang II-induced colocalization of Src and Cas and migration were inhibited in both KI Src- and DeltaSD Cas-overexpressed RASMC. These findings suggest that Src and Cas are essentially but differentially involved in Ang II-stimulated migration of VSMC through the activation of ERK1/2 and JNK.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species, such as H2O2, have been recognized as intracellular messengers involved in several cell functions. Here we report the activation of the tyrosine kinase pp60(src) by H2O2, a mechanism required for the activation of store-mediated Ca2+ entry (SMCE) in human platelets. Treatment of platelets with H2O2 resulted in a time- and concentration-dependent activation of pp60(src). Incubation with GF 109203X, a protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor, prevented H2O2-induced pp60(src) activation. In contrast, dimethyl-BAPTA loading did not affect this response, suggesting that activation of pp60(src) by H2O2 is independent of increases in [Ca2+](i). Cytochalasin D, an inhibitor of actin polymerization, significantly reduced H2O2-induced pp60(src) activation. We found that platelet stimulation with thapsigargin (TG) plus ionomycin (Iono) or thrombin induced rapid H2O2 production, a mechanism independent of elevations in [Ca2+](i). Treatment of platelets with catalase attenuated TG plus Iono- and thrombin-induced activation of pp60(src). In addition, catalase as well as the pp60(src) inhibitor, PP1, reduced both the activation of SMCE and the coupling between the hTrp1 and the IP(3)R type II without having any effect on the maintenance of SMCE. Consistent with the role of PKC in the activation of pp60(src) by H2O2, the PKC inhibitors GF 109202X and Ro-31-8220 were found to reduced SMCE in platelets. This study suggests that platelet activation with TG plus Iono or thrombin is associated with H2O2 production, which acts as a second messenger by stimulating pp60(src) by a PKC-dependent pathway and is involved in the activation of SMCE in these cells.

Abstract
We employed potent and selective c-Src inhibitors to investigate the functional and molecular consequences of inhibited c-Src tyrosine kinase activity in osteoclasts. These pyrrolopyrimidine derivatives reduced osteoclast numbers and induced osteoclast disruption in vivo. In vitro, they inhibited resorption pit formation and osteoclastogenesis, impaired adhesion ability and actin ring organization, and induced programmed cell death in mature osteoclasts. The cell death receptor Fas and p53 were insensitive to c-Src modulation. The expression of the cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK)-inhibitor p21WAF1/CIP1 was markedly reduced, but neither Bcl-2 nor Bcl-xL or Bax were modulated by c-Src inhibition. Caspase-9, and to a lesser extent caspase-3, but not caspase-8, were transiently cleaved (activated) by treatment with the c-Src inhibitors. c-Src inhibition stabilized p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), whereas the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) pathway did not appear to be modulated by our compounds. Most interestingly, transient extracellular signal regulated kinase (ERK1/2) dephosphorylation followed by sustained remarkable rephosphorylation overwhelming control levels was observed in response to c-Src inhibition. Blockade of ERK1/2 rephosphorylation by PD98059 reduced osteoclast nuclear disruption, suggesting the involvement of this pathway in apoptosis. Collectively, these data demonstrate that small pyrrolopyrimidine derivatives impair osteoclast function and induce cell damage suggestive of apoptosis in vivo and in vitro, with mechanisms presumably involving selective sustained ERK1/2 phosphorylation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pigs have been widely used as animal models to study hemostasis. However, there are significant differences when comparing the hemostatic behavior of pig and human platelets. OBJECTIVE To investigate signaling through tyrosine-phosphorylation of proteins in pig platelets after activation in suspension or by adhesion under flow conditions, in comparison with human platelets. METHODS Activation of platelet suspensions was performed with thrombin (T; 0.1 and 1 U mL(-1)) and type I collagen (Col-I; 20 microg mL(-1)), at two different time points (30 and 90 s). Activation by adhesion was carried out on Col-I-coated coverslips, using citrated whole blood samples perfused through a parallel-plate chamber. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS Significant differences between pig and human platelets were detected before and after activation. Activation of pig platelets required higher concentrations of thrombin, as well as increased activation times, to achieve similar levels of tyrosine phosphorylation. Proteins p160, p140, p85 and pp62, present in human platelets, were not detected in profiles corresponding to activated pig platelets. A protein of 70 kDa appeared only in pig platelet profiles, p55 was highly phosphorylated, and the phosphorylation levels of some proteins were significantly different from those found in human platelet profiles. In profiles corresponding to adhered pig platelets, p85 and p62 were absent, and p115 appeared highly phosphorylated. As observed in suspension studies, p70 and p55 appeared specifically in adhered pig platelets. Our study shows that the phosphotyrosine proteins involved in the activation of pig platelets are significantly different from those observed in activated human platelets. These findings may help to explain the differing adhesive and cohesive properties of platelets from both species, which should be considered when extrapolating results.

Abstract
Regulation and assembly of the epithelial cell junctional complex involve multiple signaling mechanisms, including heterotrimeric G proteins. Recently, we demonstrated that Galpha12 binds to the tight junction scaffolding protein ZO-1 through the SH3 domain and that activated Galpha12 increases paracellular permeability in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells (Meyer et al. J Biol Chem 277: 24855-24858, 2002). In the present studies, we explore the effects of Galpha12 expression on tight and adherens junction proteins and examine downstream signaling pathways. By confocal microscopy, we detect disrupted tight and adherens junction proteins with increased actin stress fibers in constitutively active Galpha12 (QLalpha12)-expressing MDCK cells. The normal distribution of ZO-1 and Na-K-ATPase was altered in QLalpha12-expressing MDCK cells, consistent with loss of polarity. We found that the tyrosine kinase inhibitor genistein and the Src-specific inhibitor PP-2 reversibly abrogated the QLalpha12 phenotype on the junctional complex. Junctional protein localization was preserved in PP-2- or genistein-treated QLalpha12-expressing cells, and the increase in paracellular permeability as measured by transepithelial resistance and [3H]mannitol flux was prevented by the inhibitors. Src activity was increased in QLalpha12-expressing MDCK cells as assessed by Src autophosphorylation, and beta-catenin tyrosine phosphorylation was also increased, although there was no detectable increase in Rho activity. Taken together, these results indicate that Galpha12 regulates MDCK cell junctions, in part through Src tyrosine kinase pathways.

Abstract
Human platelets express the receptor for immunoglobulin G, FcgammaRIIa, that triggers cell aggregation upon interaction with immune complexes. Here, we report that the rapid tyrosine phosphorylation of the Linker for Activation of T-cell (LAT) in human platelets stimulated by FcgammaRIIa cross-linking was followed by its complete dephosphorylation in an alphaIIb/beta3 integrin-dependent manner. Concomitant to LAT dephosphorylation, the protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) was activated through a mechanism involving its proteolysis by calpains downstream of integrins. Both PTP1B and LAT were associated with the actin cytoskeleton complex formed during platelet aggregation. Moreover, phospho-LAT appeared as a good substrate of activated PTP1B in vitro and these two proteins interacted upon platelet activation by FcgammaRIIa cross-linking. The permeant substrate-trapping PTP1B (TAT-PTP1B D181A) partly inhibited LAT dephosphorylation in human platelets, strongly suggesting that this tyrosine phosphatase was involved in this regulatory pathway. Using a pharmacological inhibitor, we provide evidence that PTP1B activation and LAT dephosphorylation processes were required for irreversible platelet aggregation. Altogether, our results demonstrate that PTP1B plays an important role in the integrin-mediated dephosphorylation of LAT in human platelets and is involved in the control of irreversible aggregation upon FcgammaRIIa stimulation.

Abstract
The binding of von Willebrand factor (VWF) to glycoprotein (GP) Ib-IX-V stimulates transmembrane signaling events that lead to platelet adhesion and aggregation. Recent studies have implied that activation of Src family kinases is involved in GPIb-mediated platelet activation, although the related signal transduction pathway remains poorly defined. This study presents evidence for an important role of Src and GPIb association. In platelet lysates containing Complete, a broad-spectrum protease inhibitor mixture, Src and Lyn dynamically associated with GPIb on VWF-botrocetin stimulation. Cytochalasin D, which inhibits translocation of Src kinases to the cytoskeleton, further increased Src and GPIb association. Similar results were obtained with botrocetin and monomeric A1 domain, instead of intact VWF, with induction of both Src activation and association between GPIb and Src. These findings suggest that ligand binding of GPIb, without receptor clustering, is sufficient to activate Src. Immunoprecipitation studies demonstrated that Src, phosphoinositide 3- kinase (PI 3-kinase), and GPIb form a complex in GPIb-stimulated platelets. When the p85 subunit of PI 3-kinase was immunodepleted, association of Src with GPIb was abrogated. However, wortmannin, a specific PI 3-kinase inhibitor, failed to block complex formation between Src and GPIb. The Src-SH3 domain as a glutathione S-transferase (GST)-fusion protein coprecipitated the p85 subunit of PI 3-kinase and GPIb. These findings taken together suggest that the p85 subunit of PI 3-kinase mediates GPIb-related activation signals and activates Src independently of the enzymatic activity of PI 3- kinase.

Abstract
The biologic effects of growth factors are dependent on cell adhesion, and a cross talk occurs between growth factors and adhesion complexes. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the influence of cell adhesion on the major intracellular signaling pathways elicited by platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) in hepatic stellate cells (HSC). PDGF signaling was investigated in an experimental condition characterized by lack of cell adhesion for different intervals of time. Basal and PDGF-induced focal adhesion kinase (FAK) tyrosine phosphorylation was maintained in a condition of cell suspension for 2, 4, and 6 hours, whereas it was completely lost after 12 and 24 hours. We examined MAP kinase activity at 2 and 24 hours, corresponding to the higher and lower levels of FAK phosphorylation. In these experiments, MAP kinase activity correlated with FAK phosphorylation. Stimulation with PDGF was able to cause Ras-GTP loading only in adherent cells. The ability of PDGF to induce phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-K) activity was abrogated in cells maintained in suspension. The Ser473 phosphorylation of Akt was only marginally affected by the lack of cell adhesion. We then evaluated the association of FAK with c-Src. This association was found to be cell adhesion dependent, and it did not appear to be dependent from phosphorylated FAK. These changes in PDGF-induced intracellular signaling were associated with a remarkable reduction of PDGF-proliferative potential in nonadherent cells, although no marked differences in the apoptotic rate were observed. In conclusion, these results suggest that cell adhesion differentially regulates major signaling pathways activated by PDGF in HSC.

Abstract
The present study investigates the effect of reactive oxygen species (ROS) on actin filament reorganisation and its relevance to exocytosis in pancreatic acinar cells. Treatment of pancreatic acini with cholecystokinin (CCK-8) induced spatial and temporal changes in actin filament reorganisation with an initial depolymerisation of the apical actin barrier followed by an increase in the actin filament content in the subapical area leading to amylase release. Hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) increased actin filament content and potentiated the polymerizing effects of CCK-8 in these cells but abolished the disruption of the apical actin layer and amylase release induced by CCK-8. Similar to CCK-8, ROS generated by the oxidation of hypoxanthine (HX) with xanthine oxidase (XOD) induced an initial decrease in actin filaments located under the apical membrane followed by a smaller increase in the content of actin filaments in the subapical area. XOD-generated ROS are able to increase amylase release in pancreatic acini although combination with CCK-8 leads to abnormal exocytosis. We provide evidence that indicates that CCK-8- and ROS-induced actin reorganisation is entirely dependent on Ca(2+) mobilisation and independent of PKC activation. The regulation of the actin cytoskeleton by ROS might be involved in radical-induced cell injury in pancreatic acinar cells.

Abstract
Previous reports have indicated that thrombin-induced thromboxane production by human platelets occurs through two types of interaction between thrombin and the platelet surface. One of these interactions is with protease activated receptor(PAR)-1, the first identified thrombin receptor. These studies were undertaken to determine whether stimulation of PAR-4 also results in thromboxane production. The results show that treatment of washed human platelets with the PAR-4 agonist AYPGKF stimulates a maximum of 40% to 60% of the thromboxane produced by 100 nmol/L thrombin. Maximal thromboxane production requires approximately 1.0 mmol/L AYPGKF, despite the observation that maximal aggregation is produced by 45 micromol/L AYPGKF. Thromboxane produced by the combined stimulation of PAR-1 and PAR-4 is additive. Pretreatment of platelets with 45 micromol/L AYPGKF partially desensitizes thromboxane production in response to higher concentrations of AYPGKF and thrombin but not to stimulation by SFLLRN. PAR-4-induced stimulation is also significantly inhibited by 60 micromol/L genistein. It is concluded that activation through either PAR-1 or PAR-4 results in thromboxane production, but that stimulation of neither receptor alone produces thromboxane equivalent to that produced by 100 nmol/L thrombin. Thus, these findings demonstrate the presence of two pathways for thrombin-induced thromboxane production by platelets as proposed previously.

Abstract
Integrins regulate cell adhesion and motility through tyrosine kinases, but initiation of this process is poorly understood. We find here that Src associates constitutively with integrin alphaIIbbeta3 in platelets. Platelet adhesion to fibrinogen caused a rapid increase in alphaIIbbeta3-associated Src activity, and active Src localized to filopodia and cell edges. Csk, which negatively regulates Src by phosphorylating Tyr-529, was also constitutively associated with alphaIIbbeta3. However, fibrinogen binding caused Csk to dissociate from alphaIIbbeta3, concomitant with dephosphorylation of Src Tyr-529 and phosphorylation of Src activation loop Tyr-418. In contrast to the behavior of Src and Csk, Syk was associated with alphaIIbbeta3 only after fibrinogen binding. Platelets multiply deficient in Src, Hck, Fgr, and Lyn, or normal platelets treated with Src kinase inhibitors failed to spread on fibrinogen. Inhibition of Src kinases blocked Syk activation and inhibited phosphorylation of Syk substrates (Vav1, Vav3, SLP-76) implicated in cytoskeletal regulation. Syk-deficient platelets exhibited Src activation upon adhesion to fibrinogen, but no spreading or phosphorylation of Vav1, Vav3, and SLP-76. These studies establish that platelet spreading on fibrinogen requires sequential activation of Src and Syk in proximity to alphaIIbbeta3, thus providing a paradigm for initiation of integrin signaling to the actin cytoskeleton.

Abstract
The involvement of Src kinase during carcinoma metastasis has been explored by using the NBT-II rat carcinoma cell line, which can be induced to scatter in vitro through Src activity. Here we show that Src activity was not required for growth of tumors derived from NBT-II cells injected into nude mice. In contrast, the presence of micrometastases was strictly dependent on Src, since the percentage of mice bearing metastases was dramatically reduced by the expression of a dominant-negative mutant of Src (SrcK-) or of Csk, the natural inhibitor of Src. Furthermore, metastatic cells originating from NBT-II cells displayed a Src activity higher than the parental cells, confirming that Src gives a selective advantage during the metastatic process. Finally, anatomopathological analysis of the primary tumors arising from NBT-II cells expressing Csk or SrcK- constructs revealed a highly differentiated epithelial phenotype contrasting with the poor differentiation of tumors derived from parental cells. The differentiated phenotype correlated with the presence of desmosomes at the cell periphery and the absence of vimentin intermediate filaments. Altogether, these data demonstrate that Src activity correlates with the loss of epithelial differentiation concomitantly with the increase of the metastatic potential of carcinoma cells.

Abstract
There are only three human isoforms of the small GTPase Rac, which together regulate a variety of cellular processes, including those related to actin cytoskeletal reorganization. A role for Rac3 in integrin-mediated adhesion and spreading has not been defined. We here report that CIB, a protein that binds to the alpha(IIb)beta(3) fibrinogen receptor, interacts exclusively with activated (V12) Rac3 but not Rac1 or Rac2. Binding of V12Rac3 to CIB was mediated by the C-terminal end of Rac3 and by Rac3 membrane localization. Adhesion of cells on fibrinogen was accompanied by a specific increase in the levels of Rac3 but not Rac1 or Rac2 in the Triton-insoluble fraction of the cell. Also, CIB co-localized with active Rac3 to the periphery of cells adhering to fibrinogen. Expression of V12Rac3 and CIB stimulated alpha(IIb)beta(3)-mediated adhesion and spreading on fibrinogen. Moreover, adhesion through alpha(IIb)beta(3) caused a marked increase in the levels of endogenous GTP-bound Rac3 but not Rac1. These combined results strongly implicate Rac3 and CIB in integrin-associated cytoskeletal reorganization during alpha(IIb)beta(3)-mediated adhesion.

Abstract
Effects of the occupation of integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3) by fibrinogen on Ca(++) signaling in fura-2-loaded human platelets were investigated. Adding fibrinogen to washed platelet suspensions inhibited increases in cytosolic [Ca(++)] concentrations ([Ca(++)](i)) evoked by adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and thrombin in a concentration-dependent manner in the presence of external Ca(++) but not in the absence of external Ca(++) or in the presence of the nonselective cation channel blocker SKF96365, indicating selective inhibition of Ca(++) entry. Fibrinogen also inhibited store-mediated Ca(++) entry (SMCE) activated after Ca(++) store depletion using thapsigargin. The inhibitory effect of fibrinogen was reversed if fibrinogen binding to alpha(IIb)beta(3) was blocked using RDGS or abciximab and was absent in platelets from patients homozygous for Glanzmann thrombasthenia. Fibrinogen was without effect on SMCE once activated. Activation of SMCE in platelets occurs through conformational coupling between the intracellular stores and the plasma membrane and requires remodeling of the actin cytoskeleton. Fibrinogen inhibited actin polymerization evoked by ADP or thapsigargin in control cells and in cells loaded with the Ca(++) chelator dimethyl BAPTA. It also inhibited the translocation of the tyrosine kinase p60(src) to the cytoskeleton. These results indicate that the binding of fibrinogen to integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3) inhibits the activation of SMCE in platelets by a mechanism that may involve modulation of the reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton and the cytoskeletal association of p60(src). This action may be important in intrinsic negative feedback to prevent the further activation of platelets subjected.

Abstract
Src, a nonreceptor tyrosine kinase, is an important regulator of osteoclast-mediated resorption. We have investigated whether compounds that bind to the Src SH2 domain inhibit Src activity in cells and decrease osteoclast-mediated resorption. Compounds were examined for binding to the Src SH2 domain in vitro using a fluorescence polarization binding assay. Experiments were carried out with compounds demonstrating in vitro binding activity (nmol/L range) to determine if they inhibit Src SH2 binding and Src function in cells, demonstrate blockade of Src signaling, and lack cellular toxicity. Cell-based assays included: (1) a mammalian two-hybrid assay; (2) morphological reversion and growth inhibition of cSrcY527F-transformed cells; and (3) inhibition of cortactin phosphorylation in csk-/- cells. The Src SH2 binding compounds inhibit Src activity in all three of these mechanism-based assays. The compounds described were synthesized to contain nonhydrolyzable phosphotyrosine mimics that bind to bone. These compounds were further tested and found to inhibit rabbit osteoclast-mediated resorption of dentine. These results indicate that compounds that bind to the Src SH2 domain can inhibit Src activity in cells and inhibit osteoclast-mediated resorption.

Abstract
Since the discovery of the v-src and c-src genes and their products, much progress has been made in the elucidation of the structure, regulation, localization, and function of the Src protein. Src is a non-receptor protein tyrosine kinase that transduces signals that are involved in the control of a variety of cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation, motility, and adhesion. Src is normally maintained in an inactive state, but can be activated transiently during cellular events such as mitosis, or constitutively by abnormal events such as mutation (i.e. v-Src and some human cancers). Activation of Src occurs as a result of disruption of the negative regulatory processes that normally suppress Src activity, and understanding the various mechanisms behind Src activation has been a target of intense study. Src associates with cellular membranes, in particular the plasma membrane, and endosomal membranes. Studies indicate that the different subcellular localizations of Src could be important for the regulation of specific cellular processes such as mitogenesis, cytoskeletal organization, and/or membrane trafficking. This review will discuss the history behind the discovery and initial characterization of Src and the regulatory mechanisms of Src activation, in particular, regulation by modification of the carboxy-terminal regulatory tyrosine by phosphatases and kinases. Its focus will then turn to the different subcellular localizations of Src and the possible roles of nuclear and perinuclear targets of Src. Finally, a brief section will review some of our present knowledge regarding Src involvement in human cancers.

Abstract
Herein we discuss the factors that bring about the transformation of epithelial cells into cells of fibroblastic phenotype. This type of transformation, referred to as epithelium-to-mesenchyme transition (EMT), allows cells to dissociate from the epithelial tissue from which they originate and to migrate freely. EMT is therefore thought to play a fundamental role during the early steps of invasion and metastasis of carcinoma cells. Among biological agents which have been identified as inducers of EMT are a number of cytokines and extracellular matrix macromolecules. The coordinated changes in cell morphology, associated with the induction of cell motility and the disruption of intercellular junctions, are the consequence of a signaling cascade emanating from the plasma membrane and leading to changes in gene expression. Understanding the mechanisms regulating EMT of normal and transformed epithelial cells may offer new perspectives for designing therapies for the treatment of metastatic cancers of epithelial origin.

Abstract
We have recently reported that store-mediated Ca(2+) entry in platelets is likely to be mediated by a reversible trafficking and coupling of the endoplasmic reticulum with the plasma membrane, a model termed 'secretion-like coupling'. In this model the actin cytoskeleton plays a key regulatory role. Since tyrosine kinases have been shown to be important for Ca(2+) entry in platelets and other cells, we have now investigated the possible involvement of tyrosine kinases in the secretion-like-coupling model. Treatment of platelets with thrombin or thapsigargin induced actin polymerization by a calcium-independent pathway. Methyl 2,5-dihydroxycinnamate, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, prevented thrombin- or thapsigargin-induced actin polymerization. The effects of tyrosine kinases in store-mediated Ca(2+) entry were found to be entirely dependent on the actin cytoskeleton. PP1, an inhibitor of the Src family of proteins, partially inhibited store-mediated Ca(2+) entry. In addition, depletion of intracellular Ca(2+) stores stimulated cytoskeletal association of the cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase pp60(src), a process that was sensitive to treatment with cytochalasin D and PP1, but not to inhibition of Ras proteins using prenylcysteine analogues. Finally, combined inhibition of both Ras proteins and tyrosine kinases resulted in complete inhibition of Ca(2+) entry, suggesting that these two families of proteins have independent effects in the activation of store-mediated Ca(2+) entry in human platelets.

Abstract
The adenoviral early region 4 open reading frame 4 (E4orf4) death factor induces p53-independent apoptosis in many cell types and appears to kill selectively transformed cells. Here we show that expression of E4orf4 in transformed epithelial cells results in early caspase-independent membrane blebbing, associated with changes in the organization of focal adhesions and actin cytoskeleton. Evidence that E4orf4 can associate with and modulate Src family kinase activity, inhibiting Src-dependent phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and paxillin while increasing phosphorylation of cortactin and some other cellular proteins, is presented. Furthermore, E4orf4 dramatically inhibited the ability of FAK and c-src to cooperate in induction of tyrosine phosphorylation of cellular substrates, suggesting that E4orf4 can interfere with the formation of a signaling complex at focal adhesion sites. Consistent with a functional role for E4orf4-Src interaction, overexpression of activated c-src dramatically potentiated E4orf4-induced membrane blebbing and apoptosis, whereas kinase dead c-src constructs inhibited E4orf4 effects on cell morphology and death. Moreover treatment of E4orf4-expressing cells with PP2, a selective Src kinase inhibitor, led to inhibition of E4orf4-dependent membrane blebbing and later to a marked decrease in E4orf4-induced nuclear condensation. Taken together, these observations indicate that expression of adenovirus 2 E4orf4 can initiate caspase-independent extranuclear manifestations of apoptosis through a modulation of Src family kinases and that these are involved in signaling E4orf4-dependent apoptosis. This study also suggests that Src family kinases are likely to play a role in the cytoplasmic execution of apoptotic programs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We have recently demonstrated that more than 20% of lung cells undergo apoptosis within the first 2 hr of graft reperfusion after human lung transplantation. It has been found that changes of protein tyrosine phosphorylation are involved in the regulation of apoptosis in various cell types. METHODS To determine the protein tyrosine phosphorylation status and related biochemistry changes, lung tissue biopsies were collected from six human lung transplant procedures after cold ischemic preservation (2-5 hr at 4 degrees C), after completing the implantation procedure (approximately 1 hr), and 1 or 2 hr after graft reperfusion. Western blotting was performed to determine protein tyrosine phosphorylation and several signal transduction proteins. Protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) and protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) activities were also measured. RESULTS Protein tyrosine phosphorylation was significantly increased after lung implantation and before reperfusion, and significantly decreased during the first 2 hr of graft reperfusion. The activity of Src PTKs was reduced by 50% during graft reperfusion, which was associated with a decrease of Src proteins and human actin filament associated protein, a cofactor for Src activation. PTP activity significantly decreased after lung implantation and remained at a low level 1 hr after reperfusion. After 2 hr of reperfusion, however, PTP activity returned to the basal level. CONCLUSION These dynamic changes of PTK and PTP likely explain the observed alterations of protein tyrosine phosphorylation. The significant decrease in protein tyrosine phosphorylation may be related to the observed apoptotic cell death during human lung transplantation.

Abstract
We have previously reported that stimulation of platelets causes a relocation of annexin V to the cytoplasmic side of the plasma membrane where it associates with actin. This study examined the association of annexin V with the platelet cytoskeleton and its binding to actin, following both physiological activation with thrombin and Ca2+ -ionophore activation. The time-dependence of annexin V incorporation into the detergent-extracted cytoskeleton following activation with thrombin was also measured. Although calcium from the intracellular stores was enough to relocate intracellular annexin V to the cytoskeleton, this relocation was further enhanced by influx of extracellular calcium. The association of annexin V with the cytoskeleton was found to be unaffected by the action of cytochalasin E, however, annexin V was solubilized when DNase I was used to depolymerize the membrane cytoskeleton, and spontaneously re-associated with the actin filaments when re-polymerization was induced in vitro. Using a bifunctional crosslinking reagent we have identified an 85-kDa complex in both membrane and cytoskeleton fractions containing annexin V and actin. Direct binding to actin filaments was only observed in high [Ca2+], however, inclusion of an extract from thrombin-stimulated platelets lowered the [Ca2+] requirement for the binding of annexin V to F-actin to physiological levels. We also show that GST-annexin V mimics the physiological binding of annexin V to membranes, and that this GST-annexin V binds directly to a specific isoform of actin. Immunoprecipitation using antibodies against annexin V copurify annexin V and gamma- but not beta-actin from activated platelets. This is the first report of a possible preferential binding of annexin V to a specific isoform of actin, namely gamma-actin. The results of this study suggest a model in which annexin V that relocates to the plasma membrane and binds to gamma-actin in an activation-dependent manner forms a strong association with the platelet cytoskeleton.

Abstract
Tyrosine kinases, c-Src and Fyn, in their active form, have their C-terminal tyrosine residue dephosphorylated. In this study, we used clone 28, a monoclonal antibody (MoAb) that recognizes dephosphorylated C-terminal tyrosine of c-Src and Fyn, to investigate the mode of activation and mobilization of these kinases. Independently of integrin alphaIIbbeta3 signaling, the Fyn activity increased by 8.3-fold 5 s after stimulation with 20 microM TRAP (thrombin receptor agonist peptide), while that of c-Src increased only by 2.9-fold 15 s after stimulation. Both c-Src and Fyn translocated to the Triton-insoluble cytoskeletal fraction in an aggregation-dependent manner. Five minutes after TRAP-stimulation, 85% of Fyn translocated to the cytoskeleton, while only about 20% of c-Src was recovered in this fraction. The Triton-insoluble fraction was further fractionated by RIPA (radioimmunoprecipitation assay) buffer containing 0.1% SDS. While active c-Src was predominantly present in the Triton-insoluble/RIPA-insoluble fraction, clone 28-negative c-Src was present in the Triton-insoluble/RIPA-soluble fraction. On the other hand, Fyn was present only in the Triton-insoluble/RIPA-insoluble fraction. These findings suggest that the mode of activation and redistribution into the cytoskeleton differs between c-Src and Fyn, and that clone 28 provides a useful tool for investigating the activation and mobilization of Src family tyrosine kinases.

Abstract
SH2-containing inositol-5-phosphatase 1 (SHIP1) was originally identified as a 145 kDa protein that became tyrosine-phosphorylated in response to multiple cytokines. It is now well established that SHIP1 is specifically expressed in haemopoietic cells and is important as a negative regulator of signalling. We found recently that SHIP1 was present in human blood platelets as an Ins(1,3,4, 5)P(4)-phosphatase and a PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3)-5-phosphatase that became tyrosine-phosphorylated and was relocated to the cytoskeleton in an integrin-dependent manner. Here we report biochemical and pharmacological evidence that the tyrosine kinase pp60(c-src) is constitutively associated with SHIP1 and is involved in its tyrosine phosphorylation downstream of integrin engagement in thrombin-activated human platelets. The use of cytochalasin D allowed us to demonstrate that the actin cytoskeleton reorganization induced on thrombin stimulation was not required for its integrin-mediated phosphorylation. Moreover, the integrin-dependent relocation of SHIP1 to the cytoskeleton did not require its tyrosine phosphorylation. These results suggest that SHIP1 is first recruited to the integrin-linked signalling complexes and then becomes tyrosine-phosphorylated through a Src-kinase-dependent mechanism but independently of the actin cytoskeleton reorganization.

Abstract
Protein tyrosine phosphatase alpha (PTPalpha) is believed to dephosphorylate physiologically the Src proto-oncogene at phosphotyrosine (pTyr)527, a critical negative-regulatory residue. It thereby activates Src, and PTPalpha overexpression neoplastically transforms NIH 3T3 cells. pTyr789 in PTPalpha is constitutively phosphorylated and binds Grb2, an interaction that may inhibit PTPalpha activity. We show here that this phosphorylation also specifically enables PTPalpha to dephosphorylate pTyr527. Tyr789-->Phe mutation abrogates PTPalpha-Src binding, dephosphorylation of pTyr527 (although not of other substrates), and neoplastic transformation by overexpressed PTPalpha in vivo. We suggest that pTyr789 enables pTyr527 dephosphorylation by a pilot binding with the Src SH2 domain that displaces the intramolecular pTyr527-SH2 binding. Consistent with model predictions, we find that excess SH2 domains can disrupt PTPalpha-Src binding and can block PTPalpha-mediated dephosphorylation and activation in proportion to their affinity for pTyr789. Moreover, we show that, as predicted by the model, catalytically defective PTPalpha has reduced Src binding in vivo. The displacement mechanism provides another potential control point for physiological regulation of Src-family signal transduction pathways.

Abstract
The cadherin-mediated cell-cell adhesion system plays a critical role in normal development and morphogenesis. Inactivation of this system is thought to be responsible for cancer invasion and metastasis. A human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell line, KYN-2, was observed to have great potential for intrahepatic metastasis when orthotopically implanted into the liver of SCID mice. In vitro cultures of KYN-2 cells showed that they formed trabecular structures in suspension but lost tight cell-cell adhesion and became scattered when attached to a substratum such as collagen or fibronectin. In response to adhesion to the substratum, subcellular colocalization of E-cadherin and actin filaments were shown to be reduced, and a significant amount of alpha-catenin was dissociated from the E-cadherin-catenin complex in KYN-2 cells. These changes of cell-cell adhesion were blocked by inhibitory monoclonal antibodies against beta1 and beta5 integrins. We found that c-Src was coimmunoprecipitated with E-cadherin-catenin complex and was tyrosine-dephosphorylated and activated in the adherent cells. The tyrosine dephosphorylation of c-Src was induced by cell adhesion to the substratum and inhibited by addition of inhibitory monoclonal antibodies against beta1 and beta5 integrins. These findings indicate that integrin-mediated cell-substratum adhesion inhibits cadherin-mediated cell-cell adhesion, possibly through c-Src activation, and suggest that this cross-talk mediates transient inactivation of the cadherin system and plays an important role in intrahepatic metastasis of human HCC. Modulation of this interaction might provide a new approach to prevent metastasis and recurrence of HCC.

Abstract
Tyrosine phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) creates a high-affinity binding site for the src homology 2 domain of the Src family of tyrosine kinases. Assembly of a complex between FAK and Src kinases may serve to regulate the subcellular localization and the enzymatic activity of members of the Src family of kinases. We show that simultaneous overexpression of FAK and pp60(c-src) or p59(fyn) results in the enhancement of the tyrosine phosphorylation of a limited number of cellular substrates, including paxillin. Under these conditions, tyrosine phosphorylation of paxillin is largely cell adhesion dependent. FAK mutants defective for Src binding or focal adhesion targeting fail to cooperate with pp60(c-src) or p59(fyn) to induce paxillin phosphorylation, whereas catalytically defective FAK mutants can direct paxillin phosphorylation. The negative regulatory site of pp60(c-src) is hypophosphorylated when in complex with FAK, and coexpression with FAK leads to a redistribution of pp60(c-src) from a diffuse cellular location to focal adhesions. A FAK mutant defective for Src binding does not effectively induce the translocation of pp60(c-src) to focal adhesions. These results suggest that association with FAK can alter the localization of Src kinases and that FAK functions to direct phosphorylation of cellular substrates by recruitment of Src kinases.

Abstract
The deposition of fibronectin into the extracellular matrix is an integrin-dependent, multistep process that is tightly regulated in order to ensure controlled matrix deposition. Reduced fibronectin deposition has been associated with altered embryonic development, tumor cell invasion, and abnormal wound repair. In one of the initial steps of fibronectin matrix assembly, the amino-terminal region of fibronectin binds to cell surface receptors, termed matrix assembly sites. The present study was undertaken to investigate the role of extracellular signals in the regulation of fibronectin deposition. Our data indicate that the interaction of cells with the extracellular glycoprotein, vitronectin, specifically inhibits matrix assembly site expression and fibronectin deposition. The region of vitronectin responsible for the inhibition of fibronectin deposition was localized to the heparin-binding domain. Vitronectin's heparin-binding domain inhibited both beta(1) and non-beta(1) integrin-dependent matrix assembly site expression and could be overcome by treatment of cells with lysophosphatidic acid, an agent that promotes actin polymerization. The interaction of cells with the heparin-binding domain of vitronectin resulted in changes in actin microfilament organization and the subcellular distribution of the actin-associated proteins alpha-actinin and talin. These data suggest a mechanism whereby the heparin-binding domain of vitronectin regulates the deposition of fibronectin into the extracellular matrix through alterations in the organization of the actin cytoskeleton.

Abstract
Activation of human platelets with thrombin transiently increases phosphorylation at (558)threonine of moesin as determined with phosphorylation state-specific antibodies. This specific modification is completely inhibited by the kinase inhibitor staurosporine and maximally promoted by the phosphatase inhibitor calyculin A, making it possible to purify the two forms of moesin to homogeneity. Blot overlay assays with F-actin probes labeled with either [32P]ATP or 125I show that only phosphorylated moesin interacts with F-actin in total platelet lysates, in moesin antibody immunoprecipitates, and when purified. In the absence of detergents, both forms of the isolated protein are aggregated. Phosphorylated, purified moesin co-sediments with alpha- or beta/gamma-actin filaments in cationic, but not in anionic, nonionic, or amphoteric detergents. The interaction affinity is high (Kd, approximately 1.5 nM), and the maximal moesin:actin stoichiometry is 1:1. This interaction is also observed in platelets extracted with cationic but not with nonionic detergents. In 0.1% Triton X-100, F-actin interacts with phosphorylated moesin only in the presence of polyphosphatidylinositides. Thus, both polyphosphatidylinositides and phosphorylation can activate moesin's high-affinity F-actin binding site in vitro. Dual regulation by both mechanisms may be important for proper cellular control of moesin-mediated linkages between the actin cytoskeleton and the plasma membrane.

Abstract
Integrin-mediated interactions between cytoskeletal proteins and extracellular fibrinogen are required for platelet adhesion. We have previously demonstrated that the major platelet integrin, alpha(IIb)beta(3), becomes incorporated into the actin cytoskeleton of platelets in an activation-dependent, aggregation-independent manner. To determine if regulatory molecules are also associated with these integrin-rich cytoskeletal complexes, we examined actin cytoskeletons for the presence of kinases and phosphoproteins. Western immunoblot analysis revealed that the tyrosine kinases Src, Fyn, and Lyn are specifically associated with actin cytoskeletons of activated, nonaggregated platelets. However, as noted by others, the cytoskeletal association of focal adhesion kinase depends on platelet aggregation. Actin cytoskeletons isolated from (32)P-labeled platelets also contain a number of phosphorylated proteins. Interestingly, an approximately 18-kDa phosphoprotein was uniquely present in activated platelet cytoskeletons. Collectively, our results demonstrate that actin cytoskeletons of activated, nonaggregated platelets contain not only integrins, but also kinases and phosphoproteins that could regulate platelet adhesion and transmembrane communication.

Abstract
Stimulation of human platelets with von Willebrand factor (vWF) induced the translocation of the small GTPases Rap1B and Rap2B to the cytoskeleton. This effect was specifically prevented by an anti-glycoprotein Ib monoclonal antibody or by the omission of stirring, but was not affected by the peptide RGDS, which antagonizes binding of adhesive proteins to platelet integrins. Association of Rap2B with the cytoskeleton was very rapid, while translocation of Rap1B occurred in a later phase of platelet activation and was totally inhibited by cytochalasin D. vWF also induced the rapid tyrosine phosphorylation of several proteins that was prevented by the tyrosine kinases inhibitor genistein and by cAMP-increasing agents. Under these conditions, also the association of Rap1B and Rap2B with the cytoskeleton was prevented. Translocation of Rap proteins to the cytoskeleton induced by vWF, but not by thrombin, was inhibited by a monoclonal antibody against the FcgammaII receptor. The same antibody inhibited vWF-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of selected substrates with molecular masses of about 75, 95, and 150 kDa. Three of these substrates were identified as the tyrosine kinase pp72(syk), the phospholipase Cgamma2, and the inositol 5-phosphatase SHIP. Our results indicate that translocation of Rap1B and Rap2B to the cytoskeleton is regulated by tyrosine kinases and suggest a novel role for the FcgammaII receptor in the mechanism of platelet activation by vWF.

Abstract
Suppression of high M(r) tropomyosins (TMs) is a common feature of transformed cells. Previous work from this laboratory has demonstrated that the isoform 1 of TM, TM1, acts as an anti-oncogene in ras-transformed murine fibroblasts. In this study, we have investigated whether TM1 is a ras-specific suppressor, or a general suppressor protein of the cellular transformation. V-src transformed fibroblasts, which express decreased TM1, were transduced with a full-length cDNA to overexpress TM1. Both the control and the transduced cells expressed v-src kinase at comparable levels. TM1 expressing (src-T1) cells grew at a lower rate in monolayer, exhibited well spread, flat morphology than the control cells. Enhanced expression of TM1 resulted in improved microfilamental architecture. More significantly, src-T1 cells completely failed to grow under anchorage independent conditions. These data demonstrate that TM1 is as an anti-oncogene of functionally diverse oncogenes, and it is a class II tumor suppressor protein.

Abstract
Published data suggest that the tyrosine kinase syk participates in platelet signalling through the integrin alphaIIbbeta3. Our data show an association of syk and integrin beta3 in immunoprecipitates from unstimulated and stimulated platelets. We detected syk in anti-beta3 precipitates and, conversely, beta3 in anti-syk precipitates. In vitro kinase assays with anti-beta3 precipitates demonstrated that syk activity was enhanced in ADP-stimulated platelets.

Abstract
Platelets respond to various stimuli with rapid changes in shape followed by aggregation and secretion of their granule contents. Platelets lacking the alpha-subunit of the heterotrimeric G protein Gq do not aggregate and degranulate but still undergo shape change after activation through thromboxane-A2 (TXA2) or thrombin receptors. In contrast to thrombin, the TXA2 mimetic U46619 led to the selective activation of G12 and G13 in Galphaq-deficient platelets indicating that these G proteins mediate TXA2 receptor-induced shape change. TXA2 receptor-mediated activation of G12/G13 resulted in tyrosine phosphorylation of pp72(syk) and stimulation of pp60(c-src) as well as in phosphorylation of myosin light chain (MLC) in Galphaq-deficient platelets. Both MLC phosphorylation and shape change induced through G12/G13 in the absence of Galphaq were inhibited by the C3 exoenzyme from Clostridium botulinum, by the Rho-kinase inhibitor Y-27632 and by cAMP-analogue Sp-5,6-DCl-cBIMPS. These data indicate that G12/G13 couple receptors to tyrosine kinases as well as to the Rho/Rho-kinase-mediated regulation of MLC phosphorylation. We provide evidence that G12/G13-mediated Rho/Rho-kinase-dependent regulation of MLC phosphorylation participates in receptor-induced platelet shape change.
