Abstract
Microglia, as phagocytes and antigen-presenting cells in the central nervous system, are activated in such disease processes as stroke and multiple sclerosis. Because peripheral macrophages are capable of producing endocannabinoids, we have examined endocannabinoid production in a macrophage-colony stimulating factor (M-CSF)-dependent rat microglial cell line (RTMGL1) using reversed phase high-pressure liquid chromatography and liquid chromatography-mass spectroscopy. We determined that cultured microglial cells produce the endocannabinoid 2-arachidonylglycerol (2-AG) as well as anandamide in smaller quantities. When 2-AG, but not anandamide, is added exogenously, RTMGL1 microglia increase their proliferation. This increased proliferation is blocked by an antagonist of the CB(2) receptor N-[(1S)endo-1,3,3-trimethyl bicyclo heptan-2-yl]-5-(4-chloro-3-methylphenyl)-1-(4-methylbenzyl)-pyrazole-3-carboxamide (SR144528) and mimicked by the CB(2) receptor-specific agonist 1,1-dimethylbutyl-1-deoxy-Delta(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol (JWH133). Accompanying the increase in proliferation seen with 2-AG is an increase in active ERK1 that is also blocked with SR144528. The RTMGL1 microglial cells, which exist in a primed state, express the CB(1) and CB(2) receptors as demonstrated by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and immunostaining. The CB(2) receptor in untreated cells is expressed both at the cell surface and internally, and exposure of the cells to 2-AG significantly increases receptor internalization. These data suggest that 2-AG activation of CB(2) receptors may contribute to the proliferative response of microglial cells, as occurs in neurodegenerative disorders.

Abstract
The process of tumorigenesis is frequently associated with resistance to growth inhibition by physiological regulators of normal cells. Murine macrophage-like cell lines BAC1.2F5, RAW264, J774.1A and PU5/1.8 were resistant to growth inhibition by bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and pertussis toxin, agents that blocked growth of primary bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM) in the presence of macrophage colony-stimulating factor (CSF-1). The resistance of the CSF-1-dependent cell line BAC1.2F5 to growth inhibition by pertussis toxin argues against the possibility that pertussis toxin-sensitive G proteins are essential for the pathway of growth stimulation by CSF-1. Conversely, these data add further weight to the argument that LPS mediates some of its biological activities by mimicking the action of pertussis toxin and inhibiting G protein function. The resistance of cell lines to LPS and pertussis toxin was not correlated with any alteration in the expression of mRNA encoding any of three pertussis-toxin sensitive G protein alpha subunits. The pattern of G protein expression was consistent between primary cells and tumour cells, suggesting that this is a differentiation marker. In particular, Gi alpha 2 mRNA was expressed at remarkably high levels in all of the cells. The specificity of LPS resistance was investigated by studying down-regulation of CSF-1 binding and induction of protooncogene c-fos and tumour necrosis factor (TNF) mRNA. BAC1.2F5 cells were LPS-resistant in each of these assays. In CSF-1 binding, RAW264 and J774.1A responded in the same way as bone marrow-derived macrophages but required higher doses of LPS, whereas c-fos and TNF mRNA were induced in these cells at concentrations that did not inhibit growth. In PU5/1.8 cells, CSF-1 binding was already very low and was not further down-regulated, but c-fos and TNF mRNA was inducible by LPS. By contrast to primary macrophages, the cell lines did not respond to LPS with down-regulation of c-fms mRNA, which encodes the CSF-1 receptor. Hence, the resistance of macrophage-like tumour cells to LPS and pertussis toxin was specific to the pathways controlling growth, and was correlated with altered regulation of the CSF-1 receptor.

Abstract
Some putative mitogenic signal transduction mechanisms involving G proteins, calcium, phospholipases, and protein kinases have been discussed. Several elements in this signal transduction scheme are not yet well understood and require further experimental investigation. With regard to the heptahelix receptors, exactly how do they activate PLA2? Is PLA2 activation linked to mitogenic pathways? Is this via stimulation of protein kinase C or perhaps another mechanism? How do heptahelix receptors activate tyrosine phosphorylation, and is it important in their ability to stimulate cell growth? With regard to the various phospholipases that are thought to be regulated by receptor-mediated stimuli, only PI-PLC beta and PI-PLC gamma are well characterized. PLA2, PC-PLD, and PC-PLC require further study in regard to determination of molecular structure and elucidation of mechanisms of phospholipase activation (e.g., what are the molecular mechanisms whereby tyrosine kinases and Ras affect PC-PLC?). The protein kinase C dependent and protein kinase C independent mechanisms that enable mitogenic stimuli to activate the Erk/MAP kinase are enigmatic at this time. How Raf-1 activates SRE-containing gene promoters (such as the fos promoter) is also not known. However, given the current rapid rate of progress in this field, it is likely that a much more complete understanding of the mitogenic signal transduction process will soon be obtained.

Abstract
The macrophage colony stimulating factor (M-CSF) is required for the proliferation and differentiation of monocytes. Previous studies have demonstrated that M-CSF stimulation is associated with phosphatidylcholine (PC) hydrolysis and increased formation of both diacylglycerol (DAG) and phosphorylcholine. The present work extends those results by demonstrating that treatment of human monocytes with M-CSF is associated with increases in a cytoplasmic Ca(2+)-dependent activity which hydrolyzes 1-palmitoyl,2-arachidonoyl PC to arachidonic acid. The finding that this hydrolysis of PC is associated with increases in production of lysophosphatidylcholine indicates that M-CSF stimulates a cytoplasmic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) activity. These results are supported by the demonstration that M-CSF induces cPLA2 gene expression. M-CSF-induced increases in cPLA2 mRNA levels were biphasic and corresponded with rapid (30-60 min) and delayed (24-72 h) increases in cPLA2 activity. The results demonstrate that this effect of M-CSF on cPLA2 expression is controlled at least in part by post-transcriptional stabilization of cPLA2 transcripts. The finding that M-CSF treatment is also associated with phosphorylation of the cPLA2 protein further suggests that expression of this enzyme is regulated at multiple levels. Finally, the stimulation of cPLA2 activity and arachidonate release is supported by increases in prostaglandin (PG) synthesis. In this regard, levels of both PGE2 and PGF2 alpha were increased in response to M-CSF. Taken together, these results indicate that M-CSF stimulates PC hydrolysis in human monocytes by inducing cPLA2 activity and thereby formation of eicosanoids.

Abstract
In haemopoietic cells, proliferation, commitment to development, lineage restriction and survival via suppression of apoptosis can all be controlled by haemopoietic growth factors. The mechanisms underlying the regulation of these events can now be studied since recombinant forms of most of these haemopoietic growth factors are now available. Recent advances in cell purification techniques and the development of multipotent cell lines (see Spangrude et al, 1988; Whetton, 1990; Heyworth et al, 1988, 1990a; Jones et al, 1990) have provided suitable cell populations on which to study the cellular signalling events associated with differentiation and lineage restriction. This process has started with the elucidation of the structure and expression of many of the myeloid growth factor receptors, which should now facilitate progress in the study of the signal transduction mechanisms these growth factors employ. Another important facet of these studies will be to determine whether a single growth factor with multiple target cell types, ranging from multipotent cells to postmitotic cells (e.g. neutrophils), employs distinct signalling mechanisms depending on the target cell in question. The cellular signalling events elicited by each of these growth factors and the ways in which they can regulate the transcriptional activation of genes associated with specific developmental events are going to be key areas of haemopoietic research in the next few years.

Abstract
5-HT1c receptors have been shown to act as protooncogenes in NIH 3T3 cells, inducing ligand-dependent focus formation. In order to assess their mitogenic and oncogenic potential in a different cell system, we transfected these receptors into CCL39 hamster fibroblasts, a well-characterized growth factor-dependent cell line. Cell clones expressing functional receptors were isolated and tested for (a) growth factor dependence of proliferation measuring thymidine incorporation in response to varying doses of serum, (b) the response to serotonin alone or in combination with other growth factors, and (c) the capacity for anchorage-independent proliferation. In the absence or presence of serotonin, the large majority of the clones isolated showed normal morphology and normal growth factor dependence and was unable to grow in soft agar. None of the clones showed a significant response to serotonin alone in DNA synthesis reinitiation experiments, but synergy was observed between serotonin and the tyrosine kinase activating growth factors EGF and FGF. However, the major part of this effect could be abolished by an antagonist of 5-HT1b receptors, which are endogenous in CCL39 cells. The same receptor was found to mediate a significant mitogenic response to the neurotransmitter in Ha-ras-transfected cells. The fact that 5-HT1c receptors do not readily induce a transformed phenotype in CCL39 cells clearly distinguishes them from strong dominantly acting oncogene products like RAS, SRC, or FMS.

Abstract
Proliferation of a murine macrophage cell line (BAC1.2F5) in response to colony-stimulating factor 1 (CSF-1) is inhibited by prostaglandin E2 (PGE2)-mediated elevation of intracellular cyclic AMP (cAMP). When BAC1.2F5 cells were growth arrested in early G1 by CSF-1 starvation and stimulated to synchronously enter the cell cycle by readdition of growth factor, PGE2 inhibited [3H]thymidine incorporation when added before mid-G1, but its addition at later times did not block the onset of S phase. Reversible cell cycle arrest mediated by a cAMP analog required the presence of CSF-1 for cells to initiate DNA synthesis, whereas cells released from an aphidicolin block at the G1/S boundary entered S phase in the absence of CSF-1. PGE2 or cAMP analogs did not block the initial induction of c-myc mRNA by CSF-1 but abolished the CSF-1-dependent expression of c-myc mRNA in the mid-G1 stage of the cell cycle. The cAMP-mediated reduction in c-myc RNA levels was due to decreased c-myc transcription. However, CSF-1-dependent BAC1.2F5 clones infected with a c-myc retrovirus were growth arrested by cAMP analogs despite constitutive c-myc expression. Therefore, the reduction of endogenous c-myc expression by cAMP is neither necessary nor sufficient for growth inhibition.

Abstract
Mast cells appear to promote fibroblast proliferation, presumably through secretion of growth factors, although the molecular mechanisms underlying this mitogenic potential have not been explained fully by known mast cell-derived mediators. We report here that tryptase, a trypsin-like serine proteinase of mast cell secretory granules, is a potent mitogen for fibroblasts in vitro. Nanomolar concentrations of dog tryptase strongly stimulate thymidine incorporation in Chinese hamster lung and Rat-1 fibroblasts and increase cell density in both subconfluent and confluent cultures of these cell lines. Tryptase-induced cell proliferation appears proteinase-specific, as this response is not mimicked by pancreatic trypsin or mast cell chymase. In addition, low levels of tryptase markedly potentiate DNA synthesis stimulated by epidermal growth factor, basic fibroblast growth factor, or insulin. Inhibitors of catalytic activity decrease the mitogenic capacity of tryptase, suggesting, though not proving, the participation of the catalytic site in cell activation by tryptase. Differences in Ca++ mobilization and sensitivity to pertussis toxin suggest that tryptase and thrombin activate distinct signal transduction pathways in fibroblasts. These data implicate mast cell tryptase as a potent, previously unrecognized fibroblast growth factor, and may provide a molecular link between mast cell activation and fibrosis.

Abstract
Mouse NIH 3T3 fibroblasts transfected with human colony stimulating factor-1 receptor produced diacylglycerol in response to CSF1 and this correlated with elevated phosphatidylcholine hydrolyzing activity measured in an in vitro assay. Treatment of cells with the isoflavone derivative genistein attenuated PC hydrolysis in vitro suggesting a role for CSF1R tyrosine kinase activity. A CSF1R mutant lacking 67 amino acids of the kinase insert domain, which may affect the association of receptor with certain substrates, stimulated PC hydrolysis in response to CSF1. Coupling to PC hydrolysis is likely a general property of CSF1R and the kinase insert domain is dispensable for this activity.

Abstract
The tyrosine kinase domains of the platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and colony-stimulating factor-1 (CSF-1)/c-fms receptors are interrupted by kinase inserts (ki) which vary in length and amino acid sequence. To define the role of the ki in the human alpha PDGF receptor (alpha PDGFR), we generated deletion mutants, designated alpha R delta ki-1 and alpha R delta ki-2, which lacked 80 (710 to 789) and 95 (695 to 789) amino acids of the 104-amino-acid ki region, respectively. Their functional characteristics were compared with those of the wild-type alpha PDGFR following introduction into a naive hematopoietic cell line, 32D. Biochemical responses, including PDGF-stimulated PDGFR tyrosine phosphorylation, phosphatidylinositol (PI) turnover, and receptor-associated PI-3 kinase activity, were differentially impaired by the deletions. Despite a lack of any detectable receptor-associated PI-3 kinase activity, 32D cells expressing alpha R delta ki-1 showed only partially impaired chemotactic and mitogenic responses and were capable of sustained proliferation in vitro and in vivo under conditions of autocrine stimulation by the c-sis product. 32D transfectants expressing the larger ki deletion (alpha R delta ki-2) showed markedly decreased or abolished biochemical and biological responses. However, insertion of the highly unrelated smaller c-fms (685 to 750) ki domain into alpha R delta ki-2 restored each of these activities to wild-type alpha PDGFR levels. Since the CSF-1R does not normally induce PI turnover, the ability of the c-fms ki domain to reconstitute PI turnover in the alpha R delta ki-2 transfectant provides evidence that the ki domain of the alpha PDGFR does not directly couple with this pathway. Taken together, all od these bindings imply that their ki domains have evolved to play very similar roles in the known signaling functions PDGF and CSF-1 receptors.
