ABSTRACT
Wnt5a is a ligand that activates the noncanonical Wnt signaling pathways (beta-catenin-independent pathways). Human neutrophils expressed several Wnt5a receptors, such as Frizzled 2, 5 and 8. Stimulation of human neutrophils with Wnt5a caused chemotactic migration and the production of two important chemokines, CXCL8 and CCL2. CCL2 production by Wnt5a was mediated by a pertussis toxin-sensitive G-protein-dependent pathway. Wnt5a also stimulated the phosphorylation of three mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs: ERK, p38 MAPK and JNK) and Akt. Inhibition of ERK, p38 MAPK or JNK by specific inhibitors induced a dramatic reduction in Wnt5a-induced CCL2 production. Supernatant collected from lipopolysaccharide-stimulated macrophages induced neutrophil chemotaxis, which was significantly inhibited by anti-Wnt5a antibody. Our results suggested that Wnt5a may contribute to neutrophil recruitment, mediating the inflammation response.

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is an important risk factor for chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer, and gastric cancer. Proteinase-activated receptor 2 (PAR2), subgroup of G-protein coupled receptor family, is highly expressed in gastric cancer, and chronic expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) plays an important role in H. pylori-associated gastric carcinogenesis and inflammation. We previously demonstrated that H. pylori induced the expression of PAR2 and COX-2 in gastric epithelial cells. Present study aims to investigate whether COX-2 expression induced by H. pylori in Korean isolates is mediated by PAR2 via activation of Gi protein and Src kinase in gastric epithelial AGS cells. Results showed that H. pylori-induced COX-2 expression was inhibited in the cells transfected with antisense oligonucleotide for PAR2 or treated with Gi protein blocker pertussis toxin, Src kinase inhibitor herbimycin A and soybean trypsin inbitor, indicating that COX-2 expression is mediated by PAR2 through activation of Gi protein and Src kinase in gastric epithelial cells infected with H. pylori in Korean isolates. Thus, targeting the activation of PAR2 may be beneficial for prevention or treatment of gastric inflammation and carcinogenesis associated with H. pylori infection.

PURPOSE: Stimulation of human aortic smooth muscle cells (hAoSMCs) with native low-density lipoprotein (nLDL) induced the production of interleukin-8 (IL-8) that is involved in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases. However, the process of signal transduction of nLDL was currently uncharacterized. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the signal transduction pathway of nLDL-dependent IL-8 production and the effect of IL-8 on hAoSMCs migration. MATERIALS AND METHODS: nLDL was prepared by ultracentrifugation with density-adjusted human serum of normocholesterolemia. In hAoSMCs, IL-8 secreted to medium was measured using ELISA assay, and Western blot analysis was performed to detect p38 MAPK activation as a key regulator of IL-8 production. nLDL-dependent H2O2 generation was determined by microscopic analysis using 2',7'-dichlorofluoroscein diacetate (DCF-DA). IL-8-induced migration of hAoSMCs was evaluated by counting the cell numbers moved to lower chamber using Transwell plates. RESULTS: nLDL-induced IL-8 production was completely blocked by preincubation of hAoSMCs with pertussis toxin (PTX), which inhibited nLDL-dependent p38 MAPK phosphorylation. PTX-sensitive G-protein coupled receptor was responsible for nLDL-dependent H2O2 generation that was abrogated with preincubation of the cells with of polyethylene glycol-conjugated catalase (PEG-Cat). Pretreatment of PEG-Cat prevented nLDL-induced p38 MAPK phosphorylation and IL-8 production, which was partly mimicked by treatment with exogenous H2O2. Finally, IL-8 increased hAoSMCs migration that was completely blocked by incubation with IL-8 neutralizing antibody. CONCLUSION: PTX-sensitive G-protein coupled receptor-dependent H2O2 generation by nLDL plays a critical role in IL-8 production in hAoSMC, and IL-8 may contribute to atherogenesis through increased migration of hAoSMCs.

Indian red scorpion (Mesobuthus tamulus; MBT) envenomation produces various cardio-respiratory abnormalities including cardiac dysrhythmias. The underlying cell signaling pathways for the cardiac dysrhythmias produced by MBT venom are not known. The present study was therefore conducted to delineate the second messenger signaling pathways involved in MBT venom-induced atrial rhythm changes. The effects of venom and various antagonists were examined on spontaneously beating rat right atrial preparations in vitro. The MBT-venom produced an increase (35%), a decrease (45%) and again an increase (50%) in rate at 0.03, 0.3 and 3.0 microg/ml of venom, respectively. On the other hand, force of contraction exhibited a concentration-dependent rise (up to 40%) at all concentrations of venom. Pretreatment with atropine (0.3 microM) blocked the decrease in atrial rate at 0.3 microg/ml concentration of venom while no such blockade was seen in force of contraction. Submaximal concentration of ACh (0.1 nM) decreased the atrial rate by 25%. In the presence of MBT venom (0.3 microg/ml), ACh-induced fall in atrial rate was enhanced. The venom-induced fall in atrial rate and augmentation of ACh response were blocked by pertussis toxin (PTx; a Gi-inhibitor) or methylene blue (a G-cyclase inhibitor). The results indicate that the decrease in atrial rate produced by venom is mediated muscarinic by receptors via Gi-guanylyl cyclase mediated cell signaling pathways.

Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a bioactive phospholipids and involves in various cellular events, including tumor cell migration. In the present study, we investigated LPA receptor and its transactivation to EGFR for cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression and cell migration in CAOV-3 ovarian cancer cells. LPA induced COX-2 expression in a dose-dependent manner, and pretreatment of the cells with pharmacological inhibitors of Gi (pertussis toxin), Src (PP2), EGF receptor (EGFR) (AG1478), ERK (PD98059) significantly inhibited LPA- induced COX-2 expression. Consistent to these results, transfection of the cells with selective Src siRNA attenuated COX-2 expression by LPA. LPA stimulated CAOV-3 cell migration that was abrogated by pharmacological inhibitors and antibody of EP2. Higher expression of LPA2 mRNA was observed in CAOV-3 cells, and transfection of the cells with a selective LPA2 siRNA significantly inhibited LPA-induced activation of EGFR and ERK, as well as COX-2 expression. Importantly, LPA2 siRNA also blocked LPA-induced ovarian cancer cell migration. Collectively, our results clearly show the significance of LPA2 and Gi/Src pathway for LPA-induced COX-2 expression and cell migration that could be a promising drug target for ovarian cancer cell metastasis.

Phytosphingosine-1-phosphate (PhS1P) was found to stimulate an intracellular calcium increase via phospholipase C but not pertussis toxin (PTX)- sensitive G-proteins in L2071 mouse fibroblasts. PhS1P also activated ERK and p38 kinase, and these activations by PhS1P were inhibited by PTX. Moreover, PhS1P stimulated the chemotactic migration of L2071 cells via PTX-sensitive Gi protein(s). In addition, the PhS1P-induced chemotactic migration of L2071 cells was also dramatically inhibited by LY294002 and SB203580 (inhibitors of phosphoinositide 3-kinase and p38 kinase, respectively). L2071 cells are known to express four S1P receptors, i.e., S1P1, S1P2, S1P3, and S1P4, and pretreatment with an S1P1 and S1P3 antagonist (VPC 23019) did not affect on PhS1P-induced chemotaxis. This study demonstrates that PhS1P stimulates at least two different signaling cascades, one is a PTX-insensitive but phospholipase C dependent intracellular calcium increase, and the other is a PTX-sensitive chemotactic migration mediated by phosphoinositide 3-kinase and p38 kinase.

In previous studies, we demonstrated biphasic purinergic effects on prolactin (PRL) secretion stimulated by an adenosine A2 agonist. In the present study, we investigated the role of the activation of adenosine A1 receptors by (R)-N6-(2-phenylisopropyl)adenosine (R-PIA) at the pituitary level in in vitro PRL secretion. Hemipituitaries (one per cuvette in five replicates) from adult male rats were incubated. Administration of R-PIA (0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 1, and 10 æM) induced a reduction of PRL secretion into the medium in a U-shaped dose-response curve. The maximal reduction was obtained with 0.1 æM R-PIA (mean ± SEM, 36.01 ± 5.53 ng/mg tissue weight (t.w.)) treatment compared to control (264.56 ± 15.46 ng/mg t.w.). R-PIA inhibition (0.01 æM = 141.97 ± 15.79 vs control = 244.77 ± 13.79 ng/mg t.w.) of PRL release was blocked by 1 æM cyclopentyltheophylline, a specific A1 receptor antagonist (1 æM = 212.360 ± 26.560 ng/mg t.w.), whereas cyclopentyltheophylline alone (0.01, 0.1, 1 æM) had no effect. R-PIA (0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 1 æM) produced inhibition of PRL secretion stimulated by both phospholipase C (0.5 IU/mL; 977.44 ± 76.17 ng/mg t.w.) and dibutyryl cAMP (1 mM; 415.93 ± 37.66 ng/mg t.w.) with nadir established at the dose of 0.1 æM (225.55 ± 71.42 and 201.9 ± 19.08 ng/mg t.w., respectively). Similarly, R-PIA (0.01 æM) decreased (242.00 ± 24.00 ng/mg t.w.) the PRL secretion stimulated by cholera toxin (0.5 mg/mL; 1050.00 ± 70.00 ng/mg t.w.). In contrast, R-PIA had no effect (468.00 ± 34.00 ng/mg t.w.) on PRL secretion stimulation by pertussis toxin (0.5 mg/mL; 430.00 ± 26.00 ng/mg t.w.). These results suggest that inhibition of PRL secretion after A1 receptor activation by R-PIA is mediated by a Gi protein-dependent mechanism.

En este estudio se investigaron los sitios probables de la acción inhibitoria de prolactina (Prl) sobre la esteroidogénesis ovárica inducida por la hormona folículo estimulante (FSH). Para esta finalidad se estudió la capacidad de cultivos primarios de células de la granulosa de la rata de sintetizar estradiol y AMPc bajo la estimulación con FSH o de activadores de la vía dependiente de AMPc en presencia de Prl humana. La participación de otros sistemas de transducción de señal como los dependientes de PKC y proteínas Gi en los mecanismos de acción inhibitoria de la Prl fue también investigada utilizando inhibidores de estos sistemas como la calfostina C y la toxina pertusis. Los resultados demostraron la habilidad de la Prl de alterar la esteroidogénesis previa y posterior a la generación de AMPc, muy probablemente por mecanismos que involucran la activación de la subunidad catalítica de la adenilato ciclasa, así como a través de interactuar con sistemas de transducción de señal dependientes de PKC y proteínas sensibles a la toxina pertusis. Nuestros resultados sugieren un mecanismo de interacción entre receptores acoplados a proteínas G con aquéllos acoplados a cinasas de tirosinas mediado muy probablemente por vías de señalización dependientes de proteínas Gi.
We studied the sites of prolactin inhibition upon FSH induced ovarian steroidogenesis and the ability of prolactin (Prl) to inhibit the synthesis of estradiol and cAMP accumulation under the stimulation of FSH or cAMP dependent activators. The participation of other signal pathways such as PKC and Gi proteins on the inhibitory actions of Prl was also investigated using calfostine C andpertusis toxin as inhibitors. Results showed a dose dependent prolactin decrease in FSH-induced estradiol and cAMP production prior and after the generation of the cyclic nucleotide by a mechanism involving the catalytic subunit of adenyl cyclase and/or through activation of PKC or by the interaction with pertusin toxin sensitive G proteins. Our results suggest a mechanism by which G protein coupled receptors are linked with those coupled with tyrosine kinase through the involvement of a Gi protein mediated mechanism.

This study investigated the production of stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) and the expression of CXCR4 in human bone marrow endothelial cells (BMECs). Human BMEC cell line BMEC-1 cells expressed SDF-1 mRNA, and conditioned medium induced chemoattraction of CD34+ cells. Migration was not inhibited by pretreating the input cells with pertussis toxin, indicating that the chemoattractive activity was not dependent on SDF-1. Three-day culture of BMEC-1 and primary human BMEC cells produced 1,710+/-204 and 1,050+/-153 pg/mL SDF-1alpha, respectively, which was much less than primary human BM stromal cells (29,536+/-532 pg/ mL). By immuno-histochemistry, CXCR4 was detected in the endothelial cells lining sinusoids, arterioles, and venules in the bone marrow. However, cultured BMECs and BMEC-1 cells did not express CXCR4 on their surfaces. These results indicate that BMECs produce and release small amounts of SDF-1 and express CXCR4 in vivo only.

Effects of intracellular Na+, K+ and Cl- on Ca(2+)-regulated exocytosis activated by 10 microM acetylcholine (ACh) were studied in guinea-pig antral mucous cells which are permeabilized by nystatin treatment. Ca(2+)-regulated exocytotic events were modulated by [Na+]i, [K+]i and [Cl-]i via mediation of PTX-sensitive G proteins. Increases in [Na+]i and PTX inhibit G protein (G(Na)), which suppressed the exocytosis. Increases in [K+]i caused the exchange of G proteins (from G(Na) to G(K)) to increase, and GK evoked activation of the exocytosis and was inhibited by PTX. Increases in [Cl-]i and PTX inhibit G protein (G(Cl)), which stimulates exocytotic events. Based on these observations, the exocytosis in antral mucous cells were modulated by intracellular ions, concentration of which were increased or decreased by cell volume changes caused by Ach.

In the present study, histopathological analysis of rat mesentery was used to quantify the effect of two anti-inflammatory agents, dexamethasone (Dex) and pertussis toxin (Ptx), on leukocyte migration. The intravenous injection of Dex (1 mg/kg) and Ptx (1,200 ng) 1 h prior to the intraperitoneal injection of the inflammatory stimuli lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP) significantly reduced the neutrophil diapedesis (LPS: Ptx = 0.86 ñ 0.19 and Dex = 0.35 ñ 0.13 vs saline (S) = 2.85 ñ 0.59; fMLP: Ptx = 0.43 ñ 0.09 and Dex 0.01 ñ 0.01 vs S = 1.08 ñ 0.15 neutrophil diapedesis/field) and infiltration (LPS: Ptx = 6.29 ñ 1.4 and Dex = 3.06 ñ 0.76 vs S = 15.94 ñ 3.97; fMLP: Ptx = 3.85 ñ 0.56 and Dex = 0.40 ñ 0.16 vs S = 7.15 ñ 1.17 neutrophils/field) induced by the two agonists in the rat mesentery. The inhibitory effect of Dex and Ptx was clearly visible in the fields nearest the venule (up to 200 µm), demonstrating that these anti-inflammatory agents act preferentially in the transmigration of neutrophils from the vascular lumen into the interstitial space, but not in cell movement in response to a haptotactic gradient. The mesentery of rats pretreated with Dex showed a decreased number of neutrophils within the venules (LPS: Dex = 1.50 ñ 0.38 vs S = 4.20 ñ 1.01; fMLP: Dex = 0.25 ñ 0.11 vs S = 2.20 ñ 0.34 neutrophils in the lumen/field), suggesting that this inhibitor may be acting at a step that precedes neutrophil arrival in the inflamed tissue. In contrast to that observed with Dex treatment, the number of neutrophils found in mesenteric venules was significantly elevated in animals pretreated with Ptx (LPS: Ptx = 9.85 ñ 2.25 vs S = 4.20 ñ 1.01; fMLP: Ptx = 4.66 ñ 1.24 vs S = 2.20 ñ 0.34 neutrophils in the lumen/field). This discrepancy shows that Ptx and Dex act via different mechanisms and suggests that Ptx prevents locomotion of neutrophils from the vascular lumen to the interstitial space. In conclusion, the method described here is useful for quantifying the inflammatory and anti-inflammatory effect of different substances. The advantage of this histopathological approach is that it provides additional information about the steps involved in leucocyte migration.

Pertussis toxin (Ptx) is a hexameric protein with classical AB architecture produced by Bordetella pertussis. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect og Ptx on migration of polymorphonuclear leukocytes to site of inflamation and on cell- dependent edema. Ptx was purified from the supernatant of the culture medium of B. pertussis using hydroxylapatite chromatography and fetuin affinity chromatography. Ptx induced a maximal clusterin of Chinese hamster ovary cells at concentration as low as 0.1 ng/ ml. Intravenous inection of Ptx (400 ng) significantly blocked the neutrophil migration induced by 200 ng of lipopolysaccharide (LPS from E. coli O111:B4; 2.27 ñ 0.13 vs 0.61 ñ 0.16 per 10**6 neutrophils/ml; P < 0.001; N = 5) and by 200 ng of formylmethionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine(fMLP; 2.53 ñ 0.45 vs 0.75 ñ 0.14 per 10**6 neutrophils/ml; P < 0.01; N=6) into the peritoneal cavities of male Wistar rats (eighing 150-180). In addition, Ptx (400ng) pretreatment also blocked the edema induced by intraplantar injection of 100 µg carrageenin ( increase in volume: 0.667 ñ 0.087 vs 0.313 ñ 0.058 ml; P < 0.01; N = 5) but not the edema induced by 100 µg dextran ( increase in volume: 0.537 ñ 0.06 vs 0.385 ñ 0.076 ml; P > 0.05; N = 5). These data demonstrate that Ptx blocked neutrophil migration induced by a direct f MLP stimulus of a site of inflammation. In addition, this toxin blocks the indirect stimulus of LPS on neutrophil migration. Furthermore, Ptx also inhibits the neutrophil-dependent edema induced by carrageenin, but not the edema induced by dextran that is in part dependent on basophil cells. These results warrant further studies on the mechanisms of Ptx inhibition of neutrophil-dependent edema and cell migration
