Abstract
Ligands such as insulin, epidermal growth factor, platelet-derived growth factor, and nerve growth factor (NGF) initiate signals at the cell membrane by binding to receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs). Along with G-protein-coupled receptors, RTKs are the main platforms for transducing extracellular signals into intracellular signals. Studying RTK signaling has been a challenge, however, due to the multiple signaling pathways to which RTKs typically are coupled, including MAP/ERK, PLCγ, and Class 1A phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3K). The multi-pronged RTK signaling has been a barrier to isolating the effects of any one downstream pathway. Here, we used optogenetic activation of PI3K to decouple its activation from other RTK signaling pathways. In this context, we used genetic code expansion to introduce a click chemistry noncanonical amino acid into the extracellular side of membrane proteins. Applying a cell-impermeant click chemistry fluorophore allowed us to visualize delivery of membrane proteins to the plasma membrane in real time. Using these approaches, we demonstrate that activation of PI3K, without activating other pathways downstream of RTK signaling, is sufficient to traffic the TRPV1 ion channels and insulin receptors to the plasma membrane.

Abstract
The insulin receptor and insulin signaling proteins downstream the receptor reside in different subcellular compartments and undergo redistribution within the cell upon insulin activation. Endocytosis of the insulin-receptor complex, by mediating ligand degradation and receptor dephosphorylation, is generally viewed as a mechanism which attenuates or arrests insulin signal transduction. However, several observations suggest that insulin receptor endocytosis and/or recruitement of insulin signaling proteins to endosomes are also involved in a positive regulation of insulin signaling: (1) upon internalization, the insulin receptor remains transiently phosphorylated and activated; (2) in insulin-stimulated cells or tissues, signaling proteins of the PI3K/Akt and Ras/Raf/Mek/Erk pathways are recruited to endosomes or other intracellular compartments, in which they undergo phosphorylation and/or activation; and (3) depletion or overexpression of proteins involved in the regulation of membrane trafficking and endocytosis interfere with insulin signaling. These observations support a spatial and temporal regulation of insulin signal transduction and reinforce the concept that, as for other membrane signaling receptors, endocytosis and signaling are functionally linked.

Abstract
The glutathione S-transferase (GST)-fused protein expression system has been extensively used to generate a large quantity of proteins and has served for functional analysis in vitro. In this study, we developed a novel approach for the efficient intracellular delivery of GST-fused proteins into living cells to expand their usefulness up to in vivo use. Since protein cationization techniques are powerful strategies for efficient intracellular uptake by adsorptive-mediated endocytosis, GST-fused proteins were cationized by forming a complex with a polycationic polyethylenimine (PEI)-glutathione conjugate. On screening of protein transduction, optimized PEI-glutathione conjugate for protein transduction was characterized by a partly oligomerized mixture of PEI with average molecular masses of 600 (PEI600) modified with multiple glutathiones, which could have sufficient avidity for GST. Furthermore, enhanced endosomal escape of transduced GST-fused proteins was observed when they were delivered with a glutathione-conjugated PEI600 derivative possessing a hydroxybutenyl moiety. These results were confirmed by both intracellular confocal imaging of GST-fused green fluorescent protein and activation of an endogenous growth signal transduction pathway by a GST-fused constitutively active mutant of a kinase protein. These PEI-glutathione conjugates seem to be convenient molecular tools for protein transduction of widely used GST-fused proteins.

Abstract
The progression and outcome of stroke is affected by the intricate relationship between the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha). TNFalpha crosses the intact BBB by a receptor-mediated transport system that is upregulated by CNS trauma and inflammation. In this review, we discuss intracellular trafficking and transcytosis of TNFalpha, regulation of TNFalpha transport after stroke, and the effects of TNFalpha on stroke preconditioning. TNFalpha can activate cytoprotective pathways by pretreatment or persistent exposure to low doses. This explains the paradoxical observation that transport of this proinflammatory cytokine improves the survival and function of hypoxic cells and of mice with stroke. The dual effects of TNFalpha may be related to differential regulation of TNFalpha trafficking downstream to TNFR1 and TNFR2 receptors. As we better understand how peripheral TNFalpha affects its own transport and modulates neuroregeneration, we may be in a better position to pharmacologically manipulate its regulatory transport system to treat stroke.

Abstract
Endogenous factors, including hormones, growth factors and cytokines, play an important role in the regulation of hepatic drug metabolizing enzyme expression in both physiological and pathophysiological conditions. Diabetes, fasting, obesity, protein-calorie malnutrition and long-term alcohol consumption produce changes in hepatic drug metabolizing enzyme gene and protein expression. This difference in expression alters the metabolism of xenobiotics, including procarcinogens, carcinogens, toxicants and therapeutic agents, potentially impacting the efficacy and safety of therapeutic agents, and/or resulting in drug-drug interactions. Although the mechanisms by which xenobiotics regulate drug metabolizing enzymes have been studied intensively, less is known regarding the cellular signaling pathways and components which regulate drug metabolizing enzyme gene and protein expression in response to hormones and cytokines. Recent findings, however, have revealed that several cellular signaling pathways are involved in hormone- and growth factor-mediated regulation of drug metabolizing enzymes. Our laboratory has reported that insulin and growth factors regulate drug metabolizing enzyme gene and protein expression, including cytochromes P450 (CYP), glutathione S-transferases (GST) and microsomal epoxide hydrolase (mEH), through receptors which are members of the large receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) family, and by downstream effectors such as phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK), Akt/protein kinase B (PKB), mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), and the p70 ribosomal protein S6 kinase (p70S6 kinase). Here, we review current knowledge of the signaling pathways implicated in regulation of drug metabolizing enzyme gene and protein expression in response to insulin and growth factors, with the goal of increasing our understanding of how disease affects these signaling pathways, components, and ultimately gene expression and translational control.

Abstract
Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) family ligands are target-derived trophic factors for several neuronal subpopulations. They promote survival and neurite outgrowth through binding to specific members of the GDNF family receptor alpha (GFR alpha) and subsequent activation of the RET tyrosine kinase receptor. Using compartmentalized cultures of sympathetic neurons, we have studied the mechanism of GDNF retrograde signaling. Our results demonstrate the presence of GDNF receptors RET and GFR alpha 1 in the two cellular compartments, cell bodies and distal axons. Addition of GDNF to either compartment initiated local signaling, including activation of RET and its downstream effectors AKT and ERK1/2. Addition of GDNF to distal axons induced a retrograde signal leading to neuronal survival and neurite outgrowth. Retrograde signaling was associated with retrograde transport of radiolabeled GDNF and GFR alpha 1, as well as activation of RET and AKT, but not of ERK1/2, in cell bodies. No anterograde signal propagation or transport was observed. Our results suggest a general mechanism for retrograde signaling initiated at distal axons through tyrosine kinase receptors.

Abstract
Internalization of the insulin receptor (IR) is a highly regulated multi-step process whose underlying molecular basis is not fully understood. Here we undertook to study the role of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins in the modulation of IR internalization. Employing Chinese hamster ovary cells that overexpress IR (CHO-T cells), our results indicate that IR internalization proceeds unaffected even when Tyr phosphorylation of IR substrates, such as IRS-1, is impaired (e.g. in CHO-T cells overexpressing IRS-1 whose pleckstrin-homology domain has been deleted or in CHO-T cells that overexpress the PH/PTB domain of IRS-1). In contrast, IR internalization is affected by the context of the ECM proteins to which the cells adhere. Hence, IR internalization was inhibited 40-60% in CHO-T cells adherent onto galectin-8 (an ECM protein and an integrin ligand of the galectin family) when compared with cells adherent onto fibronectin, collagen, or laminin. Cells adherent to galectin-8 manifested a unique cytoskeletal organization, which involved formation of cortical actin and generation of F-actin microspikes that contrasted with the prominent stress-fibers formed when cells adhered to fibronectin. To better establish a role for actin filament organization in IR endocytosis, this process was assayed in CHO-T cells (adherent onto fibronectin), whose actin filaments were disrupted upon treatment with latrunculin B. Latrunculin B did not affect insulin-induced Tyr phosphorylation of IR or its ability to phosphorylate its substrates; still, a 30-50% reduction in the rate of IR internalization was observed in cells treated with latrunculin B. Treatment of cells with nocodazole, which disrupts formation of microtubules, did not affect IR internalization. These results indicate that proper actin, but not microtubular, organization is a critical requirement for IR internalization and suggest that integrin-mediated signaling pathways emitted upon cell adhesion to different extracellular matrices and the altered cytoskeletal organizations generated thereof affect the itinerary of the insulin receptor.

Abstract
Insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1 activates intracellular signaling pathways and regulates myocardial structure and function. This study used DNA microarray to define the effects of IGF-1 on gene expression in cardiomyocytes. Despite DNA microarray becoming a popular tool for profiling gene expression, the specificity of DNA microarray results is rarely addressed. Our data showed that the specificity of a DNA microarray study can be increased by repetitive experiments and by excluding minimally expressed genes. In this study, the false-positive rates were reduced to <0.2%. Future DNA microarray studies should incorporate a proper strategy to minimize false-positive results. IGF-1 modulates the expression of genes in 17 functional categories, but most genes clustered around the regulation of intracellular signaling, cell cycle, transcription/translation, cellular respiration and mitochondrial function, cell survival, ion channels and calcium signaling, and humoral factors. To further explore whether extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3 kinase specifically regulate different sets of genes, the effects of IGF-1 were inhibited with PD98059 or LY294002. The results showed that the majority of genes regulated by IGF-1 required activation of both ERK and PI 3 kinase. Thus, PI 3 kinase and ERK coordinately mediate the transcriptional regulatory effects of IGF-1 in cardiac muscle cells. These findings provide novel insight into how IGF-1 signaling modulates the programming of cardiac muscle gene expression.

Abstract
Pyruvate kinase L (PK-L) is a key regulatory enzyme of the hepatic glycolytic/gluconeogenic pathway that can be dephosphorylated and activated in response to insulin. However, the signaling cascades involved in this insulin effect have not been established. In this work we have investigated the potential involvement of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-K) and p44/p42 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways in the short-term modulation of PK-L by insulin in primary cultures of rat hepatocytes. Wortmannin, at a concentration of 100 nM, caused a marked inhibition of the PI 3-K/protein kinase B pathway, which became complete at 500 nM wortmannin. Likewise, wortmannin at 100 and 500 nM, elicited partial and total inhibitions of insulin-mediated activation of PK-L, respectively. However, this PI 3-K inhibitor also reduced insulin-mediated phosphorylation of p44/p42 MAPK in cultured rat hepatocytes, indicating that both the PI 3-K and MAPK pathways could be involved in PK-L activation by insulin. Three facts appear to reinforce this hypothesis: 1) the selective and complete inhibition of the PI 3-K/protein kinase B pathway by LY294002 (50 microM) was accompanied by a partial blockade of insulin-induced PK-L activation; 2) when signaling through the MAPK cascade was selectively suppressed by the presence of PD98059 (50 microM), a 50% reduction of insulin-induced activation of PK-L was observed; and 3) the effect of PD98059 (50 microM) on PK-L activation was reinforced by the additional presence of 100 nM wortmannin. We also observed that the blockade of p70 S6-kinase by rapamycin did not affect the activation of PK-L by insulin. From these findings it can be concluded that both PI 3-K and MAPK pathways, but not p70 S6-kinase, are involved in the short-term activation of PK-L by insulin in rat hepatocytes.

Abstract
Leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) signals via the heterodimeric receptor complex comprising the LIF receptor alpha subunit (LIFRalpha) and the common signal transducing subunit for interleukin-6 cytokine receptors, gp130. This study demonstrates that in different cell types, the level of LIFRalpha decreases during treatment with LIF or the closely related cytokine oncostatin M (OSM). Moreover, insulin and epidermal growth factor induce a similar LIFRalpha down-regulation. The regulated loss of LIFRalpha is specific since neither gp130 nor OSM receptor beta shows a comparable change in turnover. LIFRalpha down-regulation correlates with reduced cell responsiveness to LIF. Using protein kinase inhibitors and point mutations in LIFRalpha, we demonstrate that LIFRalpha down-regulation depends on activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 and phosphorylation of the cytoplasmic domain of LIFRalpha at serine 185. This modification appears to promote the endosomal/lysosomal pathway of the LIFRalpha. These results suggest that extracellular signal-regulated kinase-activating factors like OSM and growth factors have the potential to lower specifically LIF responsiveness in vivo by regulating LIFRalpha half-life.

Abstract
NGF is a target-derived growth factor for developing sympathetic neurons. Here, we show that application of NGF exclusively to distal axons of sympathetic neurons leads to an increase in PI3-K signaling in both distal axons and cell bodies. In addition, there is a more critical dependence on PI3-K for survival of neurons supported by NGF acting exclusively on distal axons as compared to neurons supported by NGF acting directly on cell bodies. Interestingly, PI3-K signaling within both cell bodies and distal axons contributes to survival of neurons. The requirement for PI3-K signaling in distal axons for survival may be explained by the finding that inhibition of PI3-K in the distal axons attenuates retrograde signaling. Therefore, a single TrkA effector, PI3-K, has multiple roles within spatially distinct cellular locales during retrograde NGF signaling.
