Abstract
The last 20-25 years have seen an explosion of interest in the role of NADPH oxidase (NOX) in cardiovascular function and disease. In vascular smooth muscle and endothelium, NOX generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) that act as second messengers, contributing to the control of normal vascular function. NOX activity is altered in response to a variety of stimuli, including G-protein coupled receptor agonists, growth-factors, perfusion pressure, flow and hypoxia. NOX-derived ROS are involved in smooth muscle constriction, endothelium-dependent relaxation and smooth muscle growth, proliferation and migration, thus contributing to the fine-tuning of blood flow, arterial wall thickness and vascular resistance. Through reversible oxidative modification of target proteins, ROS regulate the activity of protein tyrosine phosphatases, kinases, G proteins, ion channels, cytoskeletal proteins and transcription factors. There is now considerable, but somewhat contradictory evidence that NOX contributes to the pathogenesis of hypertension through oxidative stress. Specific NOX isoforms have been implicated in endothelial dysfunction, hyper-contractility and vascular remodelling in various animal models of hypertension, pulmonary hypertension and pulmonary arterial hypertension, but also have potential protective effects, particularly NOX4. This review explores the multiplicity of NOX function in the healthy vasculature and the evidence for and against targeting NOX for antihypertensive therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prolonged opioid administration leads to tolerance characterized by reduced analgesic potency. Pain management is additionally compromised by the hedonic effects of opioids, the cause of their misuse. The multifunctional protein β-arrestin2 regulates the hedonic effects of morphine and participates in tolerance. These actions might reflect µ opioid receptor up-regulation through reduced endocytosis. β-Arrestin2 also recruits kinases to µ receptors. We explored the role of Src kinase in morphine analgesic tolerance, locomotor stimulation, and reinforcement in C57BL/6 mice. METHODS Analgesic (tail withdrawal latency; percentage of maximum possible effect, n = 8 to 16), locomotor (distance traveled, n = 7 to 8), and reinforcing (conditioned place preference, n = 7 to 8) effects of morphine were compared in wild-type, µ, µ, and β-arrestin2 mice. The influence of c-Src inhibitors dasatinib (n = 8) and PP2 (n = 12) was examined. RESULTS Analgesia in morphine-treated wild-type mice exhibited tolerance, declining by day 10 to a median of 62% maximum possible effect (interquartile range, 29 to 92%). Tolerance was absent from mice receiving dasatinib. Tolerance was enhanced in µ mice (34% maximum possible effect; interquartile range, 5 to 52% on day 5); dasatinib attenuated tolerance (100% maximum possible effect; interquartile range, 68 to 100%), as did PP2 (91% maximum possible effect; interquartile range, 78 to 100%). By contrast, c-Src inhibition affected neither morphine-evoked locomotor stimulation nor reinforcement. Remarkably, dasatinib not only attenuated tolerance but also reversed established tolerance in µ mice. CONCLUSIONS The ability of c-Src inhibitors to inhibit tolerance, thereby restoring analgesia, without altering the hedonic effect of morphine, makes c-Src inhibitors promising candidates as adjuncts to opioid analgesics.

Abstract
Activation of protein kinase C (PKC), a serine/threonine protein kinase, ubiquitously influences cellular signal transduction and has been shown to play a role in viral entry. In this study, we explored a role for PKC in human adenovirus type 37 infection of primary human corneal fibroblasts, a major target cell for infection. We sought evidence for an interaction between PKC activation and two potential downstream targets: cSrc kinase, shown previously to play a critical role in adenovirus signaling in these cells, and caveolin-1, reported earlier to be important to entry of adenovirus type 37. Infection of fibroblasts increased PKCα phosphorylation and translocation of PKCα from the cytosol to caveolin-1 containing vesicles. Virus-induced phosphorylation of both cSrc and AKT was abolished in cell lysates pretreated with calphostin C, a chemical inhibitor of PKC. Inhibition of PKC also reduced virus associated phosphorylation of caveolin-1, while inhibition of cSrc by the chemical inhibitor PP2 reduced only caveolin-1 phosphorylation, but not PKCα phosphorylation, in lipid rafts. These results suggest a role for PKCα upstream to both cSrc and caveolin-1. Phosphorylated PKCα was found in the same endosomal fractions as phosphorylated cSrc, and PKCα was present to a greater degree in caveolin-1 pull downs from virus infected than mock infected cell lysates. Calphostin C also reduced early viral gene expression, indicating that PKCα activity may be required for viral entry. PKCα plays a central role in adenovirus infection of corneal fibroblasts and regulation of downstream molecules, including the important lipid raft component caveolin-1.

Abstract
Abstract Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are key signaling molecules that play an important role in the progression of inflammatory disorders. An enhanced ROS generation by polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) at the site of inflammation causes endothelial dysfunction and tissue injury. The vascular endothelium plays an important role in passage of macromolecules and inflammatory cells from the blood to tissue. Under the inflammatory conditions, oxidative stress produced by PMNs leads to the opening of inter-endothelial junctions and promotes the migration of inflammatory cells across the endothelial barrier. The migrated inflammatory cells not only help in the clearance of pathogens and foreign particles but also lead to tissue injury. The current review compiles the past and current research in the area of inflammation with particular emphasis on oxidative stress-mediated signaling mechanisms that are involved in inflammation and tissue injury.

Abstract
Previous studies show that neuropeptide Y(1-36) (NPY(1-36)) and peptide YY(1-36) (PYY(1-36)), by engaging Y1 receptors, stimulate proliferation of spontaneous hypertensive rat (SHR) preglomerular vascular smooth muscle cells (PGVSMCs). In contrast, these peptides have little effect on proliferation of Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) PGVSMCs. Why SHR and WKY PGVSMCs differ in this regard is unknown. Because receptor for activated C kinase 1 (RACK1) can modulate cell proliferation, we tested the hypothesis that differences in RACK1 levels/localization may explain the differential response of SHR vs. WKY PGVSMCs to NPY(1-36) and PYY(1-36). Western blotting for RACK1 in subcellular fractions of cultured SHR and WKY PGVSMCs demonstrated increased levels of RACK1 in the membrane and cytoskeletal subcellular fractions of SHR vs. WKY PGVSMCs. NPY(1-36) and PYY(1-36) stimulated proliferation of SHR PGVSMCs, and siRNA knockdown of RACK1 abrogated this effect. Neither NPY(1-36) nor PYY(1-36) stimulated the proliferation of WKY PGVSMCs. However, in WKY PGVSMCs treated with a RACK1 plasmid, both NPY(1-36) and PYY(1-36) stimulated proliferation. In SHR PGVSMCs, inhibitors of the G(i)/phospholipase C/PKC pathway (a pathway known to be organized by RACK1) attenuated the ability of NPY(1-36) to stimulate the proliferation of SHR PGVSMCs. Our results suggest that RACK1 modulates the ability of PGVSMCs to respond to the proliferative actions of NPY(1-36) and PYY(1-36)and differences in RACK1 levels/localization account for, in part, differential proliferative responses to NPY(1-36) and PYY(1-36) in SHR vs. WKY PGVSMCs. Because dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibitors increase NPY(1-36) and PYY(1-36) levels, our findings have implications for the use of such drugs in diabetic patients.

Abstract
Desensitization of the micro-opioid receptor (MOR) has been implicated as an important regulatory process in the development of tolerance to opiates. Monitoring the release of intracellular Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)](i)), we reported that [D-Ala(2), N-Me-Phe(4), Gly(5)-ol]-enkephalin (DAMGO)-induced receptor desensitization requires receptor phosphorylation and recruitment of beta-arrestins (betaArrs), while morphine-induced receptor desensitization does not. In current studies, we established that morphine-induced MOR desensitization is protein kinase C (PKC)-dependent. By using RNA interference techniques and subtype specific inhibitors, PKCepsilon was shown to be the PKC subtype activated by morphine and the subtype responsible for morphine-induced desensitization. In contrast, DAMGO did not increase PKCepsilon activity and DAMGO-induced MOR desensitization was not affected by modulating PKCepsilon activity. Among the various proteins within the receptor signaling complex, Galphai2 was phosphorylated by morphine-activated PKCepsilon. Moreover, mutating three putative PKC phosphorylation sites, Ser(44), Ser(144) and Ser(302) on Galphai2 to Ala attenuated morphine-induced, but not DAMGO-induced desensitization. In addition, pretreatment with morphine desensitized cannabinoid receptor CB1 agonist WIN 55212-2-induced [Ca(2+)](i) release, and this desensitization could be reversed by pretreating the cells with PKCepsilon inhibitor or overexpressing Galphai2 with the putative PKC phosphorylation sites mutated. Thus, depending on the agonist, activation of MOR could lead to heterologous desensitization and probable crosstalk between MOR and other Galphai-coupled receptors, such as the CB1.

Abstract
Protein Phosphatase type 2A (PP2A) represents a family of holoenzyme complexes with diverse biological activities. Specific holoenzyme complexes are thought to be deregulated during oncogenic transformation and oncogene-induced signaling. Since most studies on the role of this phosphatase family have relied on the use of generic PP2A inhibitors, the contribution of individual PP2A holoenzyme complexes in PP2A-controlled signaling pathways is largely unclear. To gain insight into this, we have constructed a set of shRNA vectors targeting the individual PP2A regulatory subunits for suppression by RNA interference. Here, we identify PR55γ and PR55δ as inhibitors of c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK) activation by UV irradiation. We show that PR55γ binds c-SRC and modulates the phosphorylation of serine 12 of c-SRC, a residue we demonstrate to be required for JNK activation by c-SRC. We also find that the physical interaction between PR55γ and c-SRC is sensitive to UV irradiation. Our data reveal a novel mechanism of c-SRC regulation whereby in response to stress c-SRC activity is regulated, at least in part, through loss of the interaction with its inhibitor, PR55γ. Protein Phosphatase type 2A (PP2A) represent a family of holoenzyme complexes involved in wide range of activities such as growth, differentiation, and cell death. The PP2A holoenzyme complex is made up of a catalytic, a structural, and one of various “B” subunits. These “B” subunits are thought to provide the substrate specificity required for PP2A activity. Previous work on PP2A has mostly been derived by inhibiting the catalytic subunit through chemical inhibition, as such inhibiting all of the pathways associated with PP2A. To identify individual “B” subunits involved in specific cellular processes we have generated a “B” subunit gene knockdown library, which allows us to inhibit each of the known “B” subunits individually. One of the many pathways regulated by PP2A is the c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK) kinase pathway, which, depending on stimulus, can affect either cell survival or cell proliferation. Here we report that the “B” subunit PR55γ acts as a negative regulator of JNK activity and cell death. We show that PR55γ influences JNK activity by inhibiting one of its upstream regulators, the proto-oncogene c-SRC, through dephosphorylation at one of the key residues on c-SRC, a site we show to be critical for c-SRC activation following cell stress. Overall our work describes the novel function of a specific PP2A subunit involved in cell survival and identifies a novel mechanism of c-SRC regulation.

Abstract
Alpha(2)-adrenoceptors potentiate renal vascular responses to angiotensin II via coincident signaling at phospholipase C. This leads to increased activation of the phospholipase C/protein kinase C/c-src pathway. Studies suggest that c-src activates the reduced nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase/superoxide system, and reactive oxygen species stimulate the RhoA/Rho kinase pathway. Therefore, we hypothesized that NADPH oxidase/superoxide and RhoA/Rho kinase are downstream components of the signal transduction pathway that mediate the interaction between alpha(2)-adrenoceptors and angiotensin II on renal vascular resistance. In rat kidneys, both in vivo and in vitro, intrarenal infusions of angiotensin II increased renal vascular resistance, and UK14,304 (alpha(2)-adrenoceptor agonist) enhanced this response. Intrarenal Tempol (superoxide dismutase mimetic) or Y27632 (Rho kinase inhibitor) abolished the interaction between UK14,304 and angiotensin II both in vivo and in vitro. The interaction was also blocked by inhibitors of NADPH oxidase (in vivo using chronic gp91ds-tat administration and in vitro with diphenyleneiodonium). In cultured preglomerular vascular smooth muscle cells, UK14,304 enhanced angiotensin II-induced intracellular superoxide (2-hydroxyethidium production) and potentiated activation of RhoA (Western blot of activated RhoA bound to the binding domain of rhotekin). The interaction between angiotensin II and UK14,304 on superoxide generation and RhoA activation was blocked by inhibitors of phospholipase C (U73312), protein kinase C (GF109203X), c-src (PP1), NADPH oxidase (diphenyleneiodonium), or superoxide (Tempol). We conclude that NADPH oxidase/superoxide and RhoA/Rho kinase are involved in the interaction between alpha(2)-adrenoceptors and angiotensin II on renal vascular resistance by mediating signaling events downstream of the phospholipase C/protein kinase C/c-src pathway.

Abstract
Obestatin, the ghrelin-associated peptide, activates cell proliferation in the gastric cancer cell line KATO-III. The results showed that this peptide induced cell proliferation by mitogen-activated kinase kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinases1/2 (ERK1/2) phosphorylation. A sequential analysis of the obestatin transmembrane signalling pathway indicated that the ERK1/2 activity is partially blocked after preincubation of the cells with pertussis toxin, as well as by wortmannin (an inhibitor of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)), staurosporine (an inhibitor of protein kinase C (PKC)) and 4-amino-5-(4-chlorophenyl)-7-(t-butyl)pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine (PP2, which inhibits the non receptor tyrosine kinase Src). Upon administration of obestatin, the intracellular levels of phospho-PKCepsilon- and theta-isoenzymes rise with similar time-courses, from which PKCepsilon appears to be the responsible for ERK1/2 response. Based on the experimental data, a signalling pathway involving the consecutive activation of G(i), PI3K, novel PKCepsilon and Src for ERK1/2 activation is proposed. These results point to a functionally active peptide that regulates proliferation of the gastric cancer cells KATO-III.

Abstract
Brevetoxins (PbTx-1 to PbTx-10) are potent lipid soluble polyether neurotoxins produced by the marine dinoflagellate Karenia brevis. Brevetoxins bind to site 5 of the alpha-subunit of voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs) and augment Na(+) influx. In neocortical neurons brevetoxins elevate intracellular Ca(2+) and augment NMDA receptor signaling. In this study, we explored the effects of PbTx-2 on Pyk2 and Src activation in neocortical neurons. We found that both Pyk2 and Src were activated following PbTx-2 exposure. PbTx-2-induced Pyk2 Tyr402 phosphorylation was dependent on elevation of Ca(2+) influx through NMDA receptors. Moreover, Pyk2 Tyr402 phosphorylation was also found to require PKC activation inasmuch as RO-31-8425 and GF 109203x both attenuated the response. In contrast, PbTx-2-induced Src Tyr416 phosphorylation involved a Gq-coupled receptor inasmuch as U73122, a specific PLC inhibitor, abolished the response. This Gq-coupled receptor appears to be mGluR 5. The PKCdelta inhibitor rottlerin abolished PbTx-2-induced Src activation demonstrating that this isoform of PKC is involved in the activation of Src by PbTx-2. Considered together these data suggest that although activation of neuronal Pyk2 and Src result from PbTx-2 stimulation of VGSC, engagement of these two non-receptor tyrosine kinases involves distinct signaling pathways.

Abstract
G proteins provide signal-coupling mechanisms to heptahelical cell surface receptors and are critically involved in the regulation of different mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) networks. The four classes of G proteins, defined by the G(s), G(i), G(q) and G(12) families, regulate ERK1/2, JNK, p38MAPK, ERK5 and ERK6 modules by different mechanisms. The alpha- as well as betagamma-subunits are involved in the regulation of these MAPK modules in a context-specific manner. While the alpha- and betagamma-subunits primarily regulate the MAPK pathways via their respective effector-mediated signaling pathways, recent studies have unraveled several novel signaling intermediates including receptor tyrosine kinases and small GTPases through which these G-protein subunits positively as well as negatively regulate specific MAPK modules. Multiple mechanisms together with specific scaffold proteins that can link G-protein-coupled receptors or G proteins to distinct MAPK modules contribute to the context-specific and spatio-temporal regulation of mitogen-activated protein signaling networks by G proteins.

Abstract
Results presented in this study indicate that in human embryonic kidney 293 cells (HEK 293), the ghrelin receptor growth hormone secretagogue receptor type 1a (GHS-R1a) activates the extracellular signal-related kinases 1 and 2 (ERK 1/2) via three pathways. One pathway is mediated by the beta-arrestins 1 and 2, and requires entry of the receptor into a multiprotein complex with the beta-arrestins, Src, Raf-1, and ERK 1/2. A second pathway is G(q/11)-dependent and involves a Ca(2+)-dependent PKC (PKCalpha/beta) and Src. A third pathway is G(i)-dependent and involves phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), PKCepsilon, and Src. Our current study reveals that G(i/o)- and G(q/11)-proteins are crucially involved in the beta-arrestin-mediated ERK 1/2 activation. These results thus support the view that the beta-arrestins act as both scaffolding proteins and signal transducers in ERK 1/2 activation, as reported for other receptors. The different pathways of ERK 1/2 activation suggest that binding to GHS-R1a activates ERK 1/2 pools at different locations within the cell, and thus probably with different physiological consequences.

Abstract
The involvement of Src, Cdc42, RhoA and PKC in the regulation of podosome assembly has been identified in various cell models. In endothelial cells, the ectopic expression of constitutively active mutants of Src or Cdc42, but not RhoA, induced the formation of podosomes. Short-term exposure to phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA) induced the appearance of podosomes and rosettes after initial disruption of stress fibres. Molecular analysis of PMA-induced podosomes and rosettes revealed that their composition was identical to that of podosomes described in other models. Pharmacological inhibition and siRNA knock-down experiments revealed that both PKCalpha and PKCdelta isotypes were necessary for podosome assembly. However, only constitutively active PKCalpha could mimic PMA in podosome formation. Src, Cdc42 and RhoA were required downstream of PKCs in this process. Src could be positioned between PKC and Cdc42 in a linear cascade leading to podosome assembly. Using in vitro matrix degradation assays, we demonstrated that PMA-induced podosomes are endowed with proteolytic activities involving MT1-MMP-mediated activation of MMP2. Endothelial podosomes may be involved in subendothelial matrix degradation during endothelium remodelling in pathophysiological processes.

Abstract
alpha(2)-Adrenoceptors potentiate vascular responses to angiotensin II. The goal of this study was to test the hypothesis that the phospholipase C (PLC)/protein kinase C (PKC)/c-src/phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway contributes to the vascular angiotensin II/alpha(2)-adrenoceptor interaction. In rats in vivo, intrarenal infusions of angiotensin II (10 ng/kg/min) increased renal vascular resistance by 5.8 +/- 0.5 units, and this response was enhanced (p < 0.05) to 9.1 +/- 1.2 units by UK-14,304 [5-bromo-N-(4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-yl)-6-quinoxalinamine; 3 microg/kg/min; alpha(2)-adrenoceptor agonist]. Intrarenal infusions of U-73122 [1-[6-[[(17beta)-3-methoxyestra-1,3,5(10)-trien-17-yl]amino]-hexyl]-1H-pyrrole-2,5-dione; 3 microg/min; PLC inhibitor], GF109203X [bisindolylmaleimide I; 10 microg/min; PKC inhibitor], CGP77675 [1-(2-{4-[4-amino-5-(3-methoxyphenyl)pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7-yl]phenyl}ethyl)piperidin-4-ol; 5 microg/min; c-src inhibitor], and wortmannin (1 microg/min; PI3K inhibitor) abolished the angiotensin II/alpha(2)-adrenoceptor interaction. In isolated perfused rat kidneys, angiotensin II (0.3, 1, and 3 nM) increased perfusion pressure (by 15 +/- 8, 39 +/- 4, and 93 +/- 9 mm Hg, respectively), and UK-14,304 (1 microM) potentiated these responses (to 36 +/- 4, 67 +/- 7, and 135 +/- 17 mm Hg, respectively). This angiotensin II/alpha(2)-adrenoceptor interaction was abolished by U-73122 (10 microM), GF109203X (3 microM), CGP77675 (5 microM), and wortmannin (0.2 microM). Preglomerular microvascular smooth muscle cells expressed phospholipase (PLC)-beta(2), PLC-beta(3), c-src, phospho(tyrosine 416)-c-src, and PI3K. In these cells, angiotensin II (0.1 microM) and UK-14,304 (1 microM) per se did not increase phospho-c-src; however, the combination of angiotensin II plus UK-14,304 doubled phospho-c-src, and this interaction was abolished by U-73122 (10 microM) and GF109203X (3 microM). In conclusion, the PLC/PKC/c-src/PI3K pathway may contribute importantly to the interaction between alpha(2)-adrenoceptors and angiotensin II on renal vascular resistance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Interstitial activation of the coagulation cascade is a common finding in acute and chronic tubulointerstitial damage. We previously demonstrated that thrombin may induce proximal tubular epithelial cells (PTEC) proliferation and regulate, through plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI)-1 and urokinase-type plasminogen activator (u-PA), their profibrotic activity. The signaling pathways leading to these effects are still unknown. The PAI-1 promoter contains several activator protein-1 (AP-1) consensus sequences. AP-1 activation is induced by different agonists through jun-N-terminal kinase (JNK). Thus, we investigated the role of the JNK-AP-1 axis on thrombin-induced PAI-1 and u-PA expression in immortalized PTEC and its modulation by PKC and src, two key signaling enzymes. METHODS JNK and src activation was investigated by Western blotting, PAR-1 cellular surface expression by flow cytometry, PAI-1 and u-PA gene expression by Northern blotting, AP-1 activation by transient transfection, and DNA synthesis by (3)H-thymidine uptake. RESULTS Thrombin and PMA induced a time-dependent increase of JNK phosphorylation in immortalized PTEC that was inhibited by PKC down-regulation. Both thrombin and PMA caused AP-1 activation, significantly reduced by src inhibition. Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), indeed, induced an increase in src phosphorylation. Both PMA- and thrombin-stimulated PAI-1 gene expression was abolished by JNK, protein kinase C (PKC), and src inhibition, and this effect was regulated at the trascriptional level. PKC, but not src or JNK inhibition, abolished thrombin-elicited u-PA expression. Finally, JNK inhibition did not influence thrombin-induced proliferation. CONCLUSION Our data suggest that thrombin activates the JNK-AP-1 axis in a PKC- and src-dependent manner in PTEC. This axis, necessary for thrombin-stimulated PAI-1 expression, but not for its fibrinolytic and regenerative effect, may represent a therapeutic target in acute and chronic tubulointerstitial damage.

Abstract
RACK1 is one of a group of PKC-interacting proteins collectively called RACKs (Receptors for Activated C-Kinases). Previously, we showed that RACK1 also interacts with the Src tyrosine kinase, and is an inhibitor of Src activity and cell growth. PKC activation induces the intracellular movement and co-localization of RACK1 and Src, and the tyrosine phosphorylation of RACK1. To determine whether RACK1 is a Src substrate, we assessed phosphorylation of RACK1 by various tyrosine kinases in vitro, and by kinase-active and inactive mutants of Src in vivo. We found that RACK1 is a Src substrate. Moreover, Src activity is necessary for both the tyrosine phosphorylation of RACK1 and the binding of RACK1 to Src's SH2 domain that occur following PKC activation. To identify the tyrosine(s) on RACK1 that is phosphorylated by Src, we generated and tested a series of RACK1 mutants. We found that Src phosphorylates RACK1 on Tyr 228 and/or Tyr 246, highly-conserved tyrosines located in the sixth WD repeat that interact with Src's SH2 domain. We think that RACK1 is an important Src substrate that signals downstream of growth factor receptor tyrosine kinases and is involved in the regulation of Src function and cell growth.

Abstract
We have investigated the mechanism of PKC-induced actin reorganization in A7r5 vascular smooth muscle cells. PKC activation by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate induces the disassembly of actin stress fibers concomitant with the appearance of membrane ruffles. PKC also induces rapid tyrosine phosphorylation in these cells. As we could show, utilizing the Src-specific inhibitor PP2 and a kinase-deficient c-Src mutant, actin reorganization is dependent on PKC-induced Src activation. Subsequently, the activity of the small G-protein RhoA is decreased, whereas Rac and Cdc42 activities remain unchanged. Disassembly of actin stress fibers could also be observed using the Rho kinase-specific inhibitor Y-27632, indicating that the decrease in RhoA activity on its own is responsible for actin reorganization. In addition, we show that tyrosine phosphorylation of p190RhoGAP is increased upon 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate stimulation, directly linking Src activation to a decrease in RhoA activity. Our data provide substantial evidence for a model elucidating the molecular mechanisms of PKC-induced actin rearrangements.

Abstract
Endothelin-1 (ET-1), a member of a family of 21 amino acid peptides possessing vasoconstrictor properties, is known to stimulate mesangial cell proliferation. In this study, ET-1 (100 nm) induced a rapid activation of p21(ras) in human glomerular mesangial cells (HMC). Inhibition of Src family tyrosine kinase activation with [4-Amino-5-(4-methylphenyl)-7-(t-butyl)pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine] or chelation of intracellular free calcium with 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid acetoxymethyl ester significantly decreased ET-1dependent p21(ras) activation and suggested the involvement of the cytoplasmic proline-rich tyrosine kinase Pyk2. We have observed that Pyk2 was expressed in HMC and was tyrosine-phosphorylated within 5 min of ET-1 treatment. ET-1-induced activation of Pyk2 was further confirmed using phospho-specific anti-Pyk2 antibodies. Surprisingly, Src kinase activity was required upstream of ET-1-induced autophosphorylation of Pyk2. To determine whether Pyk2 autophosphorylation mediated ET-1-dependent p21(ras) activation, adenovirus-mediated transfer was employed to express a dominant-negative form of Pyk2 (CRNK). CRNK expression inhibited ET-1-induced endogenous Pyk2 autophosphorylation, but did not abolish ET-1-mediated increases in GTP-bound p21(ras) levels. ET-1-induced activation of the p38 MAPK (but not ERK) pathway was inhibited in HMC and in rat glomerular mesangial cells expressing the dominant-negative form of Pyk2. These findings suggest that the engagement of Pyk2 is important for ET-1-mediated p38 MAPK activation and hence the biological effect of this peptide in mesangial cells.

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

Abstract
GRK2 is a member of the G protein-coupled receptor kinase (GRK) family, which phosphorylates the activated form of a variety of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) and plays an important role in GPCR modulation. It has been recently reported that stimulation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase cascade by GPCRs involves tyrosine phosphorylation of docking proteins mediated by members of the Src tyrosine kinase family. In this report, we have investigated the possible role of c-Src in modulating GRK2 function. We demonstrate that c-Src can directly phosphorylate GRK2 on tyrosine residues, as shown by in vitro experiments with purified proteins. The phosphorylation reaction exhibits an apparent K(m) for GRK2 of 12 nM, thus suggesting a physiological relevance in living cells. Consistently, overexpression of the constitutively active c-Src Y527F mutant in COS-7 cells leads to tyrosine phosphorylation of co-expressed GRK2. In addition, GRK2 can be detected in phosphotyrosine immunoprecipitates from HEK-293 cells transiently transfected with this Src mutant. Interestingly, phosphotyrosine immunoblots reveal a rapid and transient increase in GRK2 phosphorylation upon agonist stimulation of beta(2)-adrenergic receptors co-transfected with GRK2 and wild type c-Src in COS-7 cells. This tyrosine phosphorylation is maximal within 5 min of isoproterenol stimulation and reaches values of approximately 5-fold over basal conditions. Furthermore, GRK2 phosphorylation on tyrosine residues promotes an increased kinase activity toward its substrates. Our results suggest that GRK2 phosphorylation by c-Src is inherent to GPCR activation and put forward a new mechanism for the regulation of GPCR signaling.

Abstract
The transcription factor CREB [cyclic AMP response element (CRE)-binding protein] is activated by several kinase pathways on phosphorylation of serine-133. Phosphorylation of CREB at serine-133 is required for the induction of target gene expression. The proenkephalin gene is a target of cyclic AMP-dependent agonists like forskolin, and its expression is driven by the enhancer element CRE-2. It has been shown that CREB binds CRE-2 in extracts from striatum and hypothalamus. However, these studies did not show a functional requirement for CREB serine-133 phosphorylation in CRE-2 function. We demonstrate that CREB binds CRE-2 in primary astrocyte cultures and that transcriptional activation of CRE-2 requires CREB phosphorylation at serine-133. In addition, it has recently been shown that, at least in some contexts, CREB phosphorylation is not sufficient to activate target gene expression and that another intracellular signal seems to be required. Therefore, we also sought to determine if another signaling event, in addition to CREB phosphorylation, might be involved in cyclic AMP-mediated induction of the proenkephalin gene. We have found that the inhibition of src-related nonreceptor tyrosine kinases blocks forskolin-induced proenkephalin gene expression without having any effect on serine-133-phosphorylated CREB levels and that constitutively activated src kinase can activate the proenkephalin promoter.

Abstract
The increase in cellular cAMP concentration during 10-min incubation of rat hepatocytes with glucagon or forskolin was enhanced markedly when the hepatocytes had been cultured for several hours with herbimycin A. This effect of herbimycin was accompanied by inhibition of tyrosine-phosphorylation of cellular proteins including alpha-tubulin, antagonized by coaddition of Na3VO4 plus H2O2, which also antagonized the herbimycin-induced tyrosine phosphorylation, and overcome by the addition to the 10-min incubation medium of a certain inhibitor of cAMP phosphodiesterase (PDE), which caused a huge accumulation of cAMP. The effective PDE inhibitors were 4-[3-(cyclopentyloxy)-4-methoxyphenyl]-2-pyrrolidinone (rolipram) and 4-(3-butyloxy-4-methoxyphenyl)-2-imidazolidinone (Ro-20-1724, a PDE4 inhibitor), in addition to 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (a nonselective inhibitor). Rapid breakdown of the once-accumulated cAMP in cultured hepatocytes during the subsequent incubation without PDE inhibitors was progressively prevented when the concentration of herbimycin was increased from 0.3 to 10 microM during prior culture. This effect of herbimycin to inhibit PDE activity in intact cells was abolished by coaddition of a microtubule-disrupting agent, either colchicine or vinblastine, into the culture, but remained unchanged if the vinblastine-containing medium was further supplemented with taxol, a microtubule-stabilizing agent, which by itself mimicked the effect of herbimycin. None of these agents, which thus affected PDE activity in intact cells, inhibited the PDE activity assayable in the cell lysates. The taxol-like and vinblastine-suppressible action of herbimycin to stimulate microtubular assembly was antagonized by Na3VO4/H2O2, as confirmed by confocal microscopic images of the cells stained with fluorescein-bound anti-(alpha-tubulin). Thus, 4-h culture of hepatocytes with herbimycin inhibits phosphorylation of the C-terminal tyrosine residue of alpha-tubulin, thereby stimulating formation of a microtubular network which is responsible for the inhibition of PDE4 in the intact cells by an unknown mechanism.

Abstract
Cultured chick lens annular pad cells were treated with a lipid soluble cAMP analog, the phorbol ester TPA or a combination of the two compounds in order to assess their effects on mitotic activity, cell spreading and the accumulation of differentiation marker proteins. Both 8b-cAMP and TPA were individually able to inhibit mitotic activity in cells cultured in the presence of 5% serum. The combination of the two produced a greater degree of mitotic inhibition. Both compounds were also able to inhibit cellular spreading onto laminin coated surfaces. Opposite effects on the accumulation of differentiation marker proteins were observed for the two compounds. While 8b-cAMP increased levels of marker proteins, TPA or the combination of TPA and 8b-cAMP reduced levels of marker proteins. These data indicate that crosstalk between two distinct signal transduction systems in the lens is able to influence cell behaviors implicated in the development of secondary or posterior subcapsular cataract. In addition, these data demonstrate that both positive and negative regulatory influences affect the accumulation of differentiated characteristics.

Abstract
In response to the kinase activity of v-Src there is an increase in the membrane association of the novel protein kinase C (PKC) isoform PKC delta (Zang, Q., Frankel, P., and Foster, D. A. (1995) Cell Growth Differ. 6, 1367-1373). We report here that in v-Src-transformed cells PKC delta co-immunoprecipitates with v-Src and is phosphorylated on tyrosine. The tyrosine-phosphorylated PKC delta had reduced enzymatic activity relative to the non-tyrosine-phosphorylated PKC delta from v-Src-transformed cells. The association between Src and PKC delta was dependent upon both an active Src kinase and membrane association. The association between c-Src Y527F and PKC delta was substantially enhanced by mutating a PKC phosphorylation site at Ser-12 in Src to Ala indicating that PKC delta phosphorylation of Src at Ser-12 destabilizes the interaction, possibly in a negative feedback loop. These data demonstrate that upon recruitment of PKC delta to the membrane in v-Src-transformed cells there is the formation of a Src.PKC delta complex in which PKC delta becomes phosphorylated on tyrosine and down-regulated.

Abstract
The convergence of tyrosine kinase and cyclic AMP (cAMP) signal transduction pathways was investigated in the HT4.7 neural cell line with inhibitors of tyrosine kinases and tyrosine phosphatases. The protein tyrosine kinase inhibitor genistein inhibited isoproterenol-stimulated cAMP production by 40-60% in whole cells, with no effect on basal cAMP levels. In both whole cells and membranes, genistein also inhibited cAMP produced in response to direct stimulation of adenylyl cyclase with forskolin. However, in the absence of phosphodiesterase inhibitors, genistein presentation resulted in an increase in cAMP levels. Genistein inhibited phosphodiesterase activity by 80-85%, indicating that tyrosine phosphorylation stimulates both cAMP synthesis and degradation. The decrease in cAMP levels by genistein was not merely competitive inhibition of adenylyl cyclase with respect to ATP, since the Km of adenylyl cyclase for ATP remained essentially the same in either the presence or the absence of genistein. Another tyrosine kinase inhibitor, herbimycin A, which inhibits by a different mechanism than genistein, also decreased forskolin-stimulated cAMP in whole cells. As would be expected for the involvement of tyrosine phosphorylation in the control of cAMP production, inhibition of tyrosine phosphatases by vandate increased forskolin-stimulated cAMP production. These results suggest that cAMP production can be regulated by tyrosine phosphorylation, and the simultaneous activation of both cAMP synthesis and degradation may serve to alter the duration of cAMP elevation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To characterize tyrosine kinases that contribute to the transcription of interstitial collagenase. METHODS Four thousand six hundred fourteen basepairs of the rabbit collagenase promoter region were cloned and sequenced. Plasmids containing collagenase promoter fragments linked to the luciferase reporter gene were transiently transfected into primary rabbit synovial fibroblasts. Regulation of gene activation by inflammatory mediators and tyrosine kinase inhibitors was assessed. To identify specific tyrosine kinases that contribute to collagenase gene expression, v-src was transiently expressed in rabbit synovial fibroblasts along with collagenase promoter constructs, and basal and interleukin-(IL-l)-induced collagenase transcription was assayed. RESULT An inhibitor of src-related tyrosine kinases, herbimycin A, inhibited increases of collagenase messenger RNA in IL-1- and phorbol myristate acetate-treated fibroblasts. Transcriptional activation of collagenase by IL-1 was also inhibited by herbimycin A. Expression of v-src in synovial fibroblasts enhanced basal and IL-1-inducible transcription. CONCLUSION Activation of collagenase transcription by inflammatory mediators involves activation of an src-related tyrosine kinase.

Abstract
1. Phorbol 12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA), a protein kinase C activator, elevated cyclic AMP accumulation in EBV-transformed human B-lymphocytes, and potentiated isoproterenol-, prostaglandin- (PGE1), cholera toxin-, and forskolin-stimulated cyclic AMP accumulation. 2. The dopamine D1 receptor agonist, SKF38393 (10(-7) to 10(-5) MH, had no effect on cyclic AMP accumulation in transformed human B-lymphocytes. 3. The dopamine D2 receptor agonist, quinpirole (10(-7) to 10(-5) MH did not inhibit cyclic AMP accumulation even when cyclic AMP accumulation was maximized by the addition of PMA and forskolin. 4. These data suggest that dopamine D1- and D2-receptor coupling to a cyclic AMP generating system is not present at detectable levels in transformed human B-lymphocytes.

Abstract
Pharmacological intervention using selective tyrosine kinase inhibitors has been shown to be an effective approach to inhibit osteoclast function. Here, we report on the structure-activity relations of benzoquinone ansamycins isolated from Streptomyces rishirensis, which form a new class of potent inhibitors of osteoclast-mediated bone resorption. Parathyroid hormone-stimulated bone resorption was inhibited concentration dependently by both mycotrienin I and mycotrienin II, showing half-maximal inhibition in the low nanomolar range in fetal rat long bones in vitro. Structure-activity relation studies indicate that position 19 contained within the quinone/hydroquinone element and the double bonds in position 4, 6, and 8 are crucial for full bioactivity. In contrast, substitutions in position 22 are well tolerated. The lack of a similar effect of 2,6-dimethyl-p-benzoquinone and vitamin K signifies that the mechanism of action is not solely due to the oxygen scavenger capacity of the quinone/hydroquinone moiety. The inhibition of osteoclastic bone resorption is in line with the diminished activity of immunopurified pp60c-src from bone suggesting that pp60c-src is a possible target of mycotrienins in the organ culture. Thus, mycotrienins may be useful as pharmacologic inhibitors of osteoclastic bone resorption.

Abstract
The generation of oxygen-derived free radicals has been implicated in the disordered vascular regulation of inflammation and reperfusion. In the vasculature, oxygen-derived free radicals are vasodilatory. The mechanisms underlying this effect remain unclear. To examine the cellular processes involved, we studied the effects of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) on adenylyl cyclase activity in A10 cells, a murine vascular smooth muscle cell line. Pretreatment with H2O2 caused a dose-dependent enhancement of forskolin-stimulated adenylyl cyclase activity (ED50, 44 mumol/L to a maximum of 166% of control activity; n = 4). This enhancement was attenuated by iron chelation with deferoxamine and by the intracellular hydroxyl scavenger dimethylthiourea and mimicked by preincubation with purine/xanthine oxidase either alone or in the presence of superoxide dismutase. The effects of H2O2 were completely blocked by the tyrosine kinase inhibitors genistein and tyrphostin A9 but not by its inactive analogue tyrphostin A1 (H2O2 alone, 149 +/- 13%; H2O2 + tyrphostin A9, 100 +/- 9%; H2O2 + tyrphostin A1, 171 +/- 21%; n = 4). H2O2 comparably enhanced adenylyl cyclase activity stimulated by isoproterenol (166 +/- 17% of control, n = 5) and sodium fluoride (177 +/- 18% of control, n = 5). Thus oxygen-derived free radicals enhance adenylyl cyclase activation, probably via tyrosine kinase-mediated effects on the catalytic subunit of adenylyl cyclase. Sensitization of adenylyl cyclase activation may be an important mechanism by which free radicals modulate hormone-mediated vasodilation.

Abstract
To analyze regulation of the human T-cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-I) long terminal repeat (LTR), cell lines were generated from LTR-tax x LTR-beta-galactosidase (beta-Gal) doubly transgenic mouse fibroblastic tumors. The HTLV-I LTR directs expression of both the tax and lacZ genes, and Tax up-modulates both promoters in primary cells. However, once cells were transformed by tax, beta-Gal but not tax expression was suppressed. Supertransformation of these cells with v-src suppressed both beta-Gal and tax expression. This suppression was reversed by treatment with the tyrosine kinase inhibitor herbimycin A or protein kinase A inhibitor H8. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays demonstrated augmented binding in the R but not U3 region. This binding was competitively inhibited by a high-affinity CREB oligodeoxynucleotide and super-shifted with a specific CREB antibody. Treatment of cells with the cyclic AMP analog dibutyryl cyclic AMP also transiently increased the R region binding dramatically. In vitro DNase I footprint analysis identified a protein-binding sequence in the R region which corresponded with suppression. However, this target sequence lacked a conventional CREB-binding site. A 70.5-kDa DNA-binding protein was partially purified by affinity chromatography, along with a 49-kDa protein which reacted with CREB-specific sera. These data demonstrate that HTLV-I LTR suppression is associated with CREB factor binding in the R region, probably by direct interaction with a 70.5-kDa protein, and provide a novel mechanism for maintenance of viral latency.
