Abstract
The term innate immunity typically refers to a quick but non-specific host defense response against invading pathogens. The innate immune system comprises particular immune cell populations, epithelial barriers, and numerous secretory mediators including cytokines, chemokines, and defense peptides. Innate immune cells are also now recognized to play important contributing roles in cancer and pathological inflammatory conditions. Innate immunity relies on rapid signal transduction elicited upon pathogen recognition via pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) and cell:cell communication conducted by soluble mediators, including cytokines. A majority of cytokines involved in innate immune signaling use a molecular cascade encompassing receptor-associated Jak protein tyrosine kinases and STAT (signal transducer and activator of transcription) transcriptional regulators. Here, we focus on roles for STAT proteins in three major innate immune subsets: neutrophils, macrophages, and dendritic cells (DCs). While knowledge in this area is only now emerging, understanding the molecular regulation of these cell types is necessary for developing new approaches to treat human disorders such as inflammatory conditions, autoimmunity, and cancer.

Abstract
Modification of low-density lipoprotein (LDL), for example by oxidation, could be involved in foam cell formation and proliferation observed in atherosclerotic lesions. Macrophage colony-stimulating factor (CSF-1 or M-CSF) has been implicated in foam cell development. It has been reported previously that oxidized LDL (ox.LDL) and CSF-1 synergistically stimulate DNA synthesis in murine bone-marrow-derived macrophages (BMM). The critical signal-transduction cascades responsible for the proliferative response to ox.LDL, as well as their relationship to those mediating CSF-1 action, are unknown. We report here that ox.LDL stimulated extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (ERK)-1, ERK-2 and phosphoinositide 3-kinase activities in BMM but to a weaker extent than optimal CSF-1 concentrations at the time points examined. Inhibitor studies suggested at least a partial role for these kinases, as well as p70 S6-kinase, in ox.LDL-induced macrophage survival and DNA synthesis. For the DNA synthesis response to CSF-1, the degree of inhibition by PD98059, wortmannin and rapamycin was significant at low CSF-1 concentrations but was reduced as the CSF-1 dose increased. Using BMM from CSF-1-deficient mice (op/op) and a neutralizing antibody approach, we found no evidence for an essential role for endogenous CSF-1 in ox.LDL-mediated survival or DNA synthesis; likewise, with the same approaches, no evidence was obtained for an essential role for endogenous granulocyte/macrophage-CSF in ox.LDL-mediated macrophage survival and, in contrast with the literature, ox.LDL-induced macrophage DNA synthesis.

Abstract
Colony-stimulating factor 1 (CSF-1) supports the proliferation, survival, and differentiation of bone marrow-derived cells of the monocytic lineage. In the myeloid progenitor 32D cell line expressing CSF-1 receptor (CSF-1R), CSF-1 activation of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) pathway is both Ras and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-kinase) dependent. PI3-kinase inhibition did not influence events leading to Ras activation. Using the activity of the PI3-kinase effector, Akt, as readout, studies with dominant-negative and oncogenic Ras failed to place PI3-kinase downstream of Ras. Thus, PI3-kinase appears to act in parallel to Ras. PI3-kinase inhibitors enhanced CSF-1-stimulated A-Raf and c-Raf-1 activities, and dominant-negative A-Raf but not dominant-negative c-Raf-1 reduced CSF-1-provoked ERK activation, suggesting that A-Raf mediates a part of the stimulatory signal from Ras to MEK/ERK, acting in parallel to PI3-kinase. Unexpectedly, a CSF-1R lacking the PI3-kinase binding site (DeltaKI) remained capable of activating MEK/ERK in a PI3-kinase-dependent manner. To determine if Src family kinases (SFKs) are involved, we demonstrated that CSF-1 activated Fyn and Lyn in cells expressing wild-type (WT) or DeltaKI receptors. Moreover, CSF-1-induced Akt activity in cells expressing DeltaKI is SFK dependent since Akt activation was prevented by pharmacological or genetic inhibition of SFK activity. The docking protein Gab2 may link SFK to PI3-kinase. CSF-1 induced Gab2 tyrosyl phosphorylation and association with PI3-kinase in cells expressing WT or DeltaKI receptors. However, only in DeltaKI cells are these events prevented by PP1. Thus in myeloid progenitors, CSF-1 can activate the PI3-kinase/Akt pathway by at least two mechanisms, one involving direct receptor binding and one involving SFKs.

Abstract
The activation of human polymorphonuclear neutrophil leukocytes (neutrophils) is associated with an increased synthesis of the highly phosphorylated phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3)). The aims of the present investigation were to determine whether the newly described, G protein-dependent phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), p110gamma, was involved in the responses to chemotactic factors interacting with G protein-coupled receptors. The presence of p110gamma in neutrophils was first established both at the protein and the mRNA level. Stimulation of the cells with fMet-Leu-Phe or interleukin-8 increased the PI3K activity in p110gamma, but not p85, immunoprecipitates. The time course of this effect (threshold within less than 5 s, maximal activation at 10-15 s) was consistent with that of the generation of PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3). Wortmannin, a PI3K inhibitor, abrogated the effects of fMet-Leu-Phe, which were also significantly inhibited by pertussis toxin. Finally, fMet-Leu-Phe also induced a significant translocation of p110gamma to a particulate fraction derived from these cells. These data indicate that p110gamma represent the major PI3K activated by fMet-Leu-Phe and interleukin-8 at very early time points following the stimulation of human neutrophils.

Abstract
Treatment of the BAC1.2F5 macrophage cell line with Macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor (M-CSF) resulted in a rapid induction of vesiculation that was reminiscent of macropinocytosis. Time-lapse micrography showed that these vesicles initiated as small vesicles at the cell periphery, but grew in size and migrated with time to a perinuclear localisation after growth factor stimulation. Immunofluorescence showed that the M-CSF receptor (c-fms) associated with the small vesicles and also the larger phase-bright vesicles. Treatment with two distinct inhibitors showed that the rapid initiation of vesicle formation was not dependent on phosphatidylinositol-3′ (PI-3) kinase activity; however, the subsequent maintenance, maturation and translocation of the large, phase-bright, c-fms-containing vesicles was dependent on PI-3 kinase activity. The inhibitors could also reverse the further maturation of preformed vesicles. The inhibition of vesicle trafficking and maturation correlated with ablation of M-CSF-induced PI-3 kinase activity associated with p110(alpha). These data demonstrate a role for PI-3 kinase in vesicle trafficking and maintenance. PI-3 kinase activity was also necessary for the macropinocytotic response in macrophages, a process that is essential for efficient antigen processing and presentation in macrophage-like cells.

Abstract
Abstract
Adenosine is produced during inflammation and modulates different functional activities in macrophages. In murine bone marrow-derived macrophages, adenosine inhibits M-CSF-dependent proliferation with an IC50 of 45 μM. Only specific agonists that can activate A2B adenosine receptors such as 5′-N-ethylcarboxamidoadenosine, but not those active on A1 (N6-(R)-phenylisopropyladenosine), A2A ([p-(2-carbonylethyl)phenylethylamino]-5′-N-ethylcarboxamidoadenosine), or A3 (N6-(3-iodobenzyl)adenosine-5′-N-methyluronamide) receptors, induce the generation of cAMP and modulate macrophage proliferation. This suggests that adenosine regulates macrophage proliferation by interacting with the A2B receptor and subsequently inducing the production of cAMP. In fact, both 8-Br-cAMP (IC50 85 μM) and forskolin (IC50 7 μM) inhibit macrophage proliferation. Moreover, the inhibition of adenylyl cyclase and protein kinase A blocks the inhibitory effect of adenosine and its analogues on macrophage proliferation. Adenosine causes an arrest of macrophages at the G1 phase of the cell cycle without altering the activation of the extracellular-regulated protein kinase pathway. The treatment of macrophages with adenosine induces the expression of p27kip-1, a G1 cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor, in a protein kinase A-dependent way. Moreover, the involvement of p27kip-1 in the adenosine inhibition of macrophage proliferation was confirmed using macrophages from mice with a disrupted p27kip-1 gene. These results demonstrate that adenosine inhibits macrophage proliferation through a mechanism that involves binding to A2B adenosine receptor, the generation of cAMP, and the induction of p27kip-1 expression.

Abstract
Abstract
M-CSF triggers the activation of extracellular signal-regulated protein kinases (ERK)-1/2. We show that inhibition of this pathway leads to the arrest of bone marrow macrophages at the G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle without inducing apoptosis. M-CSF induces the transient expression of mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphatase-1 (MKP-1), which correlates with the inactivation of ERK-1/2. Because the time course of ERK activation must be finely controlled to induce cell proliferation, we studied the mechanisms involved in the induction of MKP-1 by M-CSF. Activation of ERK-1/2 is not required for this event. Therefore, M-CSF activates ERK-1/2 and induces MKP-1 expression through different pathways. The use of two protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitors (GF109203X and calphostin C) revealed that M-CSF induces MKP-1 expression through a PKC-dependent pathway. We analyzed the expression of different PKC isoforms in bone marrow macrophages, and we only detected PKCβI, PKCε, and PKCζ. PKCζ is not inhibited by GF109203X/calphostin C. Of the other two isoforms, PKCε is the best candidate to mediate MKP-1 induction. Prolonged exposure to PMA slightly inhibits MKP-1 expression in response to M-CSF. In bone marrow macrophages, this treatment leads to a complete depletion of PKCβI, but only a partial down-regulation of PKCε. Moreover, no translocation of PKCβI or PKCζ from the cytosol to particulate fractions was detected in response to M-CSF, whereas PKCε was constitutively present at the membrane and underwent significant activation in M-CSF-stimulated macrophages. In conclusion, we remark the role of PKC, probably isoform ε, in the negative control of ERK-1/2 through the induction of their specific phosphatase.

Abstract
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptor Flk-1/KDR in endothelial cells is activated during vasculogenesis and angiogenesis upon ligand-receptor interaction. Activated Flk-1/KDR has been shown to recruit Src homology 2 domain-containing signaling molecules that are known to serve as links to the activation of the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase signaling pathway. To define the functional significance of phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase in VEGF signaling, we have examined its role in human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) cycle progression. We show herein that p85, the regulatory subunit of PI 3-kinase, is constitutively associated with Flk-1/KDR. The treatment of HUVECs with VEGF promoted tyrosine autophosphorylation of Flk-1/KDR and also induced phosphorylation of p85. This was followed by an increase in the PI 3-kinase activity, which was sensitive to wortmannin, a potent PI 3-kinase inhibitor. VEGF also induced a striking activation of MAP kinase in a time-dependent manner. Inhibition studies with both a dominant-negative p85 mutant and the PI 3-kinase inhibitor, wortmannin, were employed to show for the first time that VEGF-stimulated PI 3-kinase modulates MAP kinase activation and nuclear events such as transcription from c-fos promoter and entry into the synthesis (S)-phase. Our data demonstrate the importance of PI 3-kinase as a necessary signaling component of VEGF-mediated cell cycle progression.

Abstract
Early atherosclerotic lesions are characterized by the presence of cholesterol-rich, macrophage-derived foam cells. It has recently been shown that macrophage proliferation occurs during the development of early lesions and that oxidized low density lipoprotein (LDL) stimulates macrophage growth. Possible mechanisms for this induction of macrophage growth include potentiation of mitogenic signal transduction by a component of oxidized LDL following internalization and degradation, interaction with integral plasma membrane proteins coupled to signaling pathways, or direct or indirect activation of growth factor receptors on the cell surface (e.g. GM-CSF receptor) through an autocrine/paracrine mechanism. The present study was undertaken to characterize some of the early intracellular signaling events by which oxidized LDL mediates macrophage cell growth. Extensively oxidized LDL increased protein-tyrosine phosphorylation and caused a 2-fold increase in phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase activity in phorbol ester-pretreated THP-1 cells (a human monocyte-like cell line). Similar concentrations of native LDL had no effect. Oxidized LDL also stimulated growth of resident mouse peritoneal macrophages, and this effect was reduced by 40-50% in cells treated with PI 3-kinase inhibitors (100 nM wortmannin or 20 microM LY294002). These results suggest that PI 3-kinase mediates part of the mitogenic effect of oxidized LDL, but parallel pathways involving other receptors and signal transduction pathways are likely also involved.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol 3'(OH)-kinase (PI 3-kinase) is activated on stimulation of macrophages with colony-stimulating factor 1 (CSF-1). We studied its potential role in the internalization and degradation of CSF-1 and its receptor in two primary populations of murine macrophages, namely bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMM) and resident peritoneal macrophages (RPM). Even though CSF-1 induced PI 3-kinase activity in both BMM and RPM, wortmannin, a potent inhibitor of PI 3-kinase activity, at concentrations that inhibited PI 3-kinase activity by 90% in these cells, had little or no effect on receptor internalization and degradation in either BMM or RPM or on CSF-1 degradation by BMM. Strong (more than 90%) inhibition was, however, observed for CSF-1 degradation by RPM. These findings suggest that both wortmannin-sensitive and wortmannin-insensitive pathways of ligand degradation exist in macrophages and that, although CSF-1 and CSF-1 receptor share the same endocytic pathway initially, they might be targeted to different compartments at later stages of degradation.

Abstract
There are differing views regarding the roles of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinases (PI3-kinases) and p70 S6 kinase (p70s6k) in growth factor-induced cellular responses. One approach that is widely employed to investigate these roles is to use the inhibitors, wortmannin and rapamycin, respectively. This approach is used here to study the responses in macrophages to colony stimulating factor-1 (CSF-1). Wortmannin (> or = 30 nM) and rapamycin (> or = 3 nM) both weakly inhibited CSF-1-stimulated DNA synthesis in murine bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMM), suggesting that there are PI3-kinase- and p70s6k-independent pathways required for the onset of S phase; interestingly the combination of the drugs gave dramatic suppression. Inhibition of DNA synthesis by rapamycin on the BMM was much less than that observed with the CSF-1-dependent cell line, BAC1.2F5. In BMM, wortmannin suppressed CSF-1-stimulated increase in p70s6k activity indicating that PI3-kinase activity may lie upstream. In contrast to some other growth factor/cell systems, no evidence was obtained using the inhibitors for the involvement of PI3-kinase or p70s6k in CSF-1-mediated induction of c-fos mRNA expression or Erk-1 activity; in addition, no evidence was found for an involvement in the CSF-1-mediated increase in cyclin D1 expression or STAT activation. The findings reinforce the need to study the signal transduction cascades relevant to each individual growth factor and preferably not in cell lines.

Abstract
Control of cell proliferation involves a finely interwoven network of positive and negative cell cycle regulators. Signal transduction pathways linking c-fms (CSF-1R) to cellular proliferation and differentiation are being explored. Part of the strategy is to use a series of G1 inhibitors to help pinpoint relevant targets. Several inhibitors-8Br-cAMP, interferon gamma (IFN gamma), INF alpha/beta, lipopolysaccharide (LPS), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF alpha), and dimethylamiloride-suppress CSF-1-stimulated proliferation in murine bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMM) even when added in the mid- to late-G1 phase of the cell cycle. The down-modulating effects of the inhibitors on the expression of the following cell cycle regulators have been examined: c-myc, cyclin D1 and D2, cdk4, Rb phosphorylation, E2F binding activity, ribonucleotide reductase subunits, and PCNA. Some differences in the negative control of such regulators were found, for example, in the manner in which IFN gamma and cAMP down-regulate c-myc expression. Using blocking antibodies and BMM from type I IFN receptor knockout mice, it appears that one of these inhibitors, IFN alpha/beta, acts as an endogenous inhibitor in CSF-1-treated BMM and is also responsible, at least in part, for the inhibition of cell cycle progression by LPS and TNF alpha. Another strategy has been to attempt to relate early biochemical changes induced by CSF-1 to later changes in the G1 phase, partly by studying cycling versus noncycling macrophages and partly by using cells expressing c-fms with tyrosine mutations in the intracytoplasmic region. CSF-1-mediated effects on the following signal transduction molecules in these systems will be described: PI3-kinase, myelin basic protein kinases, Erks, and STAT transcription factors.

Abstract
Colony stimulating factor-1 (CSF-1) stimulation of the macrophage cell line BAC1.2F5 and murine bone marrow-derived macrophages resulted in tyrosine phosphorylation of phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI-3 kinase) p85 alpha and its stable association with several tyrosine phosphorylated proteins, including CSF-1 receptor (p165), p120, p95 and p55-p60. p120 co-migrated with the product of the protooncogene c-cb1 in anti-p85 alpha immunoprecipitates, and associated with p85 alpha in a rapid and transient manner. Reciprocal experiments confirmed the presence of p85 alpha in anti-Cb1 immunoprecipitates on CSF-1 stimulation of macrophages. PI-3 kinase immunoprecipitates from the myeloid FDC-P1 cell line expressing mutant CSF-1 receptor (Y721F), which does not associate with PI-3 kinase, still contained Cbl. The identity of the tyrosine phosphorylated protein p95 remains unknown. The interaction between p85 alpha and the tyrosine phosphorylated proteins survived anion-exchange chromatography, suggesting perhaps the presence of a stable complex; furthermore, in CSF-1-treated BAC1.2F5 cell extracts, only one of the two pools of PI-3 kinase separated by chromatography was present in this putative complex. The association did not appear to correlate with proliferation, since a similar interaction between p85 alpha and tyrosine phosphorylated proteins was also observed in poorly proliferating resident peritoneal macrophages stimulated with CSF-1. The possible significance of these findings for CSF-1-regulated macrophage functions is discussed.

The myelomonocytic lineage of hematopoiesis is regulated by the growth factor granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF). This cytokine has proven to be safe for use in coordination with the treatments for bone marrow transplants and acute myelogenous leukemia. GM-CSF and related cytokines operate through specific receptors in the membranes of target cells of the myelopoietic lineages (both immature and mature cells). The exact signal transduction mechanisms in the cell are only beginning to be clarified and involve a plethora of signaling molecules. With a wealth of new information from studies in GM-CSF-induced cell activation, three major experimental approaches are emerging as gold standards in the exploration of those signaling pathways initiated by hematopoietic growth factors. We consider here: (1) a protein-protein interaction, as exemplified by the association between the cytokine membrane receptor and JAK kinase; (2) a covalent modification of an enzyme, as studied in the phosphorylation of MAP kinase; and (3) a protein-DNA interaction, as demonstrated by the translocation of STAT from the cytosol to the nucleus where it can bind to the promoters of specific genes.
