BLNK required for coupling Syk to PLC gamma 2 and Rac1-JNK in B cells. (1/4851)

Signaling through the B cell receptor (BCR) is essential for B cell function and development. Despite the key role of Syk in BCR signaling, little is known about the mechanism by which Syk transmits downstream effectors. BLNK (B cell LiNKer protein), a substrate for Syk, is now shown to be essential in activating phospholipase C (PLC)gamma 2 and JNK. The BCR-induced PLC gamma 2 activation, but not the JNK activation, was restored by introduction of PLC gamma 2 membrane-associated form into BLNK-deficient B cells. As JNK activation requires both Rac1 and PLC gamma 2, our results suggest that BLNK regulates the Rac1-JNK pathway, in addition to modulating PLC gamma 2 localization.  (+info)

Phosphorylation by protein kinase C decreases catalytic activity of avian phospholipase C-beta. (2/4851)

The potential role of protein kinase C (PKC)-promoted phosphorylation has been examined in the G-protein-regulated inositol lipid signalling pathway. Incubation of [32P]Pi-labelled turkey erythrocytes with either the P2Y1 receptor agonist 2-methylthioadenosine triphosphate (2MeSATP) or with PMA resulted in a marked increase in incorporation of 32P into the G-protein-activated phospholipase C PLC-betaT. Purified PLC-betaT also was phosphorylated by PKC in vitro to a stoichiometry (mean+/-S. E.M.) of 1.06+/-0.2 mol of phosphate/mol of PLC-betaT. Phosphorylation by PKC was isoenzyme-specific because, under identical conditions, mammalian PLC-beta2 also was phosphorylated to a stoichiometry near unity, whereas mammalian PLC-beta1 was not phosphorylated by PKC. The effects of PKC-promoted phosphorylation on enzyme activity were assessed by reconstituting purified PLC-betaT with turkey erythrocyte membranes devoid of endogenous PLC activity. Phosphorylation resulted in a decrease in basal activity, AlF4(-)-stimulated activity, and activity stimulated by 2MeSATP plus guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate in the reconstituted membranes. The decreases in enzyme activities were proportional to the extent of PKC-promoted phosphorylation. Catalytic activity assessed by using mixed detergent/phospholipid micelles also was decreased by up to 60% by phosphorylation. The effect of phosphorylation on Gqalpha-stimulated PLC-betaT in reconstitution experiments with purified proteins was not greater than that observed on basal activity alone. Taken together, these results illustrate that PKC phosphorylates PLC-betaT in vivo and to a physiologically relevant stoichiometry in vitro. Phosphorylation is accompanied by a concomitant loss of enzyme activity, reflected as a decrease in overall catalytic activity rather than as a specific modification of G-protein-regulated activity.  (+info)

Role of Listeria monocytogenes exotoxins listeriolysin and phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C in activation of human neutrophils. (3/4851)

Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) are essential for resolution of infections with Listeria monocytogenes. The present study investigated the role of the listerial exotoxins listeriolysin (LLO) and phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PlcA) in human neutrophil activation. Different Listeria strains, mutated in individual virulence genes, as well as purified LLO were used. Coincubation of human neutrophils with wild-type L. monocytogenes provoked PMN activation, occurring independently of phagocytosis events, with concomitant elastase secretion, leukotriene generation, platelet-activating factor (PAF) synthesis, respiratory burst, and enhanced phosphoinositide hydrolysis. Degranulation and leukotriene formation were noted to be solely dependent on LLO expression, as these features were absent when the LLO-defective mutant EGD- and the avirulent strain L. innocua were used. These effects were fully reproduced by a recombinant L. innocua strain expressing LLO (INN+) and by the purified LLO molecule. LLO secretion was also required for PAF synthesis. However, wild-type L. monocytogenes was more potent in eliciting PAF formation than mutants expressing LLO, suggesting the involvement of additional virulence factors. This was even more obvious for phosphoinositide hydrolysis and respiratory burst: these events were provoked not only by INN+ but also by the LLO-defective mutant EGD- and by a recombinant L. innocua strain producing listerial PlcA. We conclude that human neutrophils react to extracellularly provided listerial exotoxins by rapid cell activation. Listeriolysin is centrally involved in triggering degranulation and lipid mediator generation, and further virulence factors such as PlcA apparently contribute to trigger neutrophil phosphoinositide hydrolysis and respiratory burst. In this way, listerial exotoxins may influence the host defense against infections with L. monocytogenes.  (+info)

S-myristoylation of a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C in Trypanosoma brucei. (4/4851)

Covalent modification with lipid can target cytosolic proteins to biological membranes. With intrinsic membrane proteins, the role of acylation can be elusive. Herein, we describe covalent lipid modification of an integral membrane glycosylphosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (GPI-PLC) from the kinetoplastid Trypanosoma brucei. Myristic acid was detected on cysteine residue(s) (i.e. thiomyristoylation). Thiomyristoylation occurred both co- and post-translationally. Acylated GPI-PLC was active against variant surface glycoprotein (VSG). The half-life of fatty acid on GPI-PLC was 45 min, signifying the dynamic nature of the modification. Deacylation in vitro decreased activity of GPI-PLC 18-30-fold. Thioacylation, from kinetic analysis, activated GPI-PLC by accelerating the conversion of a GPI-PLC.VSG complex to product. Reversible thioacylation is a novel mechanism for regulating the activity of a phospholipase C.  (+info)

A2B adenosine and P2Y2 receptors stimulate mitogen-activated protein kinase in human embryonic kidney-293 cells. cross-talk between cyclic AMP and protein kinase c pathways. (5/4851)

Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades underlie long-term mitogenic, morphogenic, and secretory activities of purinergic receptors. In HEK-293 cells, N-ethylcarboxamidoadenosine (NECA) activates endogenous A2BARs that signal through Gs and Gq/11. UTP activates P2Y2 receptors and signals only through Gq/11. The MAPK isoforms, extracellular-signal regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK), are activated by NECA and UTP. H-89 blocks ERK activation by forskolin, but weakly affects the response to NECA or UTP. ERK activation by NECA or UTP is unaffected by a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (genistein), attenuated by a phospholipase C inhibitor (U73122), and is abolished by a MEK inhibitor (PD098059) or dominant negative Ras. Inhibition of protein kinase C (PKC) by GF 109203X failed to block ERK activation by NECA or UTP, however, another PKC inhibitor, Ro 31-8220, which unlike GF 109203X, can block the zeta-isoform, and prevents UTP- but not NECA-induced ERK activation. In the presence of forskolin, Ro 31-8220 loses its ability to block UTP-stimulated ERK activation. PKA has opposing effects on B-Raf and c-Raf-1, both of which are found in HEK-293 cells. The data are explained by a model in which ERK activity is modulated by differential effects of PKC zeta and PKA on Raf isoforms.  (+info)

Resolution of a signal transfer region from a general binding domain in gbeta for stimulation of phospholipase C-beta2. (6/4851)

Signaling by guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) involves sequential protein-protein interactions. G protein-betagamma subunit (Gbetagamma) interactions with phospholipase C-beta2 (PLC-beta2) were studied to determine if all Gbeta contacts are required for signaling. A peptide encoding Gbeta amino acid residues 86 to 105 stimulated PLC-beta2. Six residues (96 to 101) within this sequence could transfer signals and thus constitute a core signal transfer region. Another peptide, encoding Gbeta amino acid residues 115 to 135, did not substantially stimulate PLC-beta2 by itself but inhibited Gbetagamma stimulation, indicating that residues 115 to 135 constitute a general binding domain. Resolution of signal transfer regions from general binding domains indicates that all protein-protein contacts are not required for signal transfer and that it may be feasible to synthesize agonists and antagonists that regulate intracellular signal flow.  (+info)

Carbamazepine-induced upregulation of adenosine A1-receptors in astrocyte cultures affects coupling to the phosphoinositol signaling pathway. (7/4851)

The anticonvulsant and antibipolar drug carbamazepine (CBZ) is known to act as a specific antagonist at adenosine A1-receptors. After a 3-week application of CBZ, A1-receptors are upregulated in the rat brain. We have investigated the consequences of this upregulation for the A1-receptor-mediated signal transduction in primary astrocyte cultures from different regions of the rat brain. CBZ treatment for 10 days had no effect on adenosine A1-receptor mRNA expression in cultures with high basal A1-receptor mRNA levels, but increased A1-receptor mRNA in cultures exhibiting low basal A1-receptor mRNA levels. This upregulation of A1-receptor mRNA was accompanied by an upregulation or induction of A1-receptor-mediated potentiation of PLC activity, a property that was not found in these cultures before CBZ treatment. Thus, CBZ treatment for 10 days induces a new quality of adenosine A1-receptor-mediated signal transduction in cells that express low basal A1-receptor numbers.  (+info)

Interplay between the NO pathway and elevated [Ca2+]i enhances ciliary activity in rabbit trachea. (8/4851)

1. Average intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) and ciliary beat frequency (CBF) were simultaneously measured in rabbit airway ciliated cells in order to elucidate the molecular events that lead to ciliary activation by purinergic stimulation. 2. Extracellular ATP and extracellular UTP caused a rapid increase in both [Ca2+]i and CBF. These effects were practically abolished by a phospholipase C inhibitor (U-73122) or by suramin. 3. The effects of extracellular ATP were not altered: when protein kinase C (PKC) was inhibited by either GF 109203X or chelerythrine chloride, or when protein kinase A (PKA) was inhibited by RP-adenosine 3', 5'-cyclic monophosphothioate triethylamine (Rp-cAMPS). 4. Activation of PKC by phorbol 12-myristate, 13-acetate (TPA) had little effect on CBF or on [Ca2+]i, while activation of PKA by forskolin or by dibutyryl-cAMP led to a small rise in CBF without affecting [Ca2+]i. 5. Direct activation of protein kinase G (PKG) with dibutyryl-cGMP had a negligible effect on CBF when [Ca2+]i was at basal level. However, dibutyryl-cGMP strongly elevated CBF when [Ca2+]i was elevated either by extracellular ATP or by ionomycin. 6. The findings suggest that the initial rise in [Ca2+]i induced by extracellular ATP activates the NO pathway, thus leading to PKG activation. In the continuous presence of elevated [Ca2+]i the stimulated PKG then induces a robust enhancement in CBF. In parallel, activated PKG plays a central role in Ca2+ influx via a still unidentified mechanism, and thus, through positive feedback, maintains CBF close to its maximal level in the continuous presence of ATP.  (+info)

TY - JOUR. T1 - Requirement of phospholipase C-γ2 (PLCγ2) for dectin-1-induced antigen presentation and induction of TH1/TH17 polarization. AU - Tassi, Ilaria. AU - Cella, Marina. AU - Castro, Iris. AU - Gilfillan, Susan. AU - Khan, Wasif N.. AU - Colonna, Marco. PY - 2009/5. Y1 - 2009/5. N2 - DC recognize microbial components through an array of receptors known as PRR. PRR initiate intracellular signals, which engender DC with the capacity to stimulate T-cell responses. Dectin-1 is a PRR that recognizes β-glucan, a major constituent of many fungis outer cell wall. Here we show that Dectin-1 activates DC through phospholipase (PLC)γ2 signaling. PLCγ2-deficient DC were unable to expand antigen-specific T cells and induce TH1 and TH17 differentiation in response to β-glucan. Mechanistically, PLCγ2-deficiency impaired the capacity of DC to secrete polarizing cytokines following exposure to β-glucan. Dectin-1 required PLCγ2 to activate MAPK, AP-1 and NF-κB, which induce cytokine gene ...
Phospholipase C-(gamma) (PLC-(gamma)) is activated in many cell types following growth factor stimulation. Our understanding of the role of PLC-(gamma) in cell growth and differentiation has been severely limited by the dearth of mutations in any organism. In this study, we show that the Drosophila gene small wing (sl), identified by Bridges in 1915, encodes a PLC-(gamma). Mutations of sl result in extra R7 photoreceptors in the compound eye, consistent with overactivation of the receptor tyrosine kinase pathways that control R7 development. The data presented here provide the first genetic evidence that PLC-(gamma) is involved in Ras-mediated signaling and indicate that PLC-(gamma) acts as a negative regulator in such pathways in Drosophila.. ...
The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) enhancer (PIKE) is small guanosine triphosphatase (GTPase) that associates with nuclear-localized PI3K and increases its lipid kinase activity and its ability to promote cellular proliferation. Activated phospholipase C-γ1 (PLC-γ1) can also promote mitogenesis, but this effect does not require the phospholipase activity of PLC-γ1. Now Ye et al. have found that PLC-γ1 might act as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) for PIKE. The Src homology 3 (SH3) domain of PLC-γ1 (PLCγ1-SH3) bound to PIKE in glutathione S-transferase pull-down assays. Increasing concentrations of the PLCγ1-SH3 incubated with PIKE stimulated GTP binding to and GDP dissociation from PIKE. These data suggest that PLCγ1-SH3 functioned like a GEF with PIKE as its substrate. PC12 cells that expressed PLCγ1-SH3 exhibited increased nuclear PI3K activity, suggesting a link between PLC-γ1 and increased PI3K activity, and a possible explanation of how PLC-γ1 can promote ...
AB - Phospholipases C play a role in the pathogenesis of several bacteria. Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of tuberculosis, possesses four genes encoding putative phospholipases C, plcA, plcB, plcC and plcD. However, the contribution of these genes to virulence is unknown. We constructed four single mutants of M. tuberculosis each inactivated in one of the plc genes, a triple plcABC mutant and a quadruple plcABCD mutant. The mutants all exhibited a lower phospholipase C activity than the wild-type parent strain, demonstrating that the four plc genes encode a functional phospholipase C in M. tuberculosis. Functional complementation of the Delta plcABC triple mutant with the individual plcA, plcB and plcC genes restored in each case about 20% of the total Plc activity detected in the parental strain, suggesting that the three enzymes contribute equally to the overall Plc activity of M. tuberculosis. RT-PCR analysis of the plc genes transcripts showed that the expression of these ...
The data presented in this study demonstrate that activation of PKC-ε on stimulation of the A1R in the rat or mouse heart elicits the translocation of the kinase to a RACK2 protein of the cardiomyocyte. Previously, we reported A1R activation promotes the translocation of PKC-ε, but not PKC-δ, to the t-tubules of the cardiomyocyte (30). The present data indicate that RACK2 was the target protein for this translocation. Our present observations include the measurement of contractile activity of isolated cardiomyocytes and the visualization with imaging (rat) and coimmunoprecipitation of the kinase and RACK2 (rat and mouse). Translocation of PKC-ε to RACK2 occurred whether the PKC-ε was activated nonspecifically by a phorbol ester, or by A1R activation with PIA, or with the selective agonist CCPA. The action induced by CCPA was selective for the A1R, as indicated by the inhibition elicited by the A1R antagonist DPCPX. Furthermore, PKC-ε translocation most likely results from an A1R-induced ...

As a result, we followed the GM CSF based mostly differentiation protocol of Akagawa, et al., made to provide mono cyte derived M by using a distinctly AM like phenotype. The two AM and GM M happen to be proven to provide decrease levels of H2O2, express higher ranges of catalase and therefore are a lot more resistant to H2O2 toxicity when in comparison to M CSF derived M. Furthermore, AM and GM M express HLA DQ and are resistant to HIV infection, but prone to Myco bacterium tuberculosis infection. Finally, we are confident that ...
Similarly, splenic B cells from one to 4 month old premalignant iMycEu mice exhib ited highly elevated NFB and STAT3 DNA binding exercise, at as early as one month of age, relative to splenic B cells from age matched, typical BL6 mice. These data show that constitutive activation of the two NFB and STAT3 happens months before tumors are current, and at an early age, in iMycEu mice. We also evaluated the degree of Myc protein in splenic B cells of premalignant and malignant iMycEu mice, likewise as in iMycEu one cells. Its broadly accepted the cellular level of Myc must continue to be exquisitely titrated to induce neoplastic growth but steer clear of apoptosis. Consistent with this particular, only a marginal elevation of Myc protein was repeat edly observed in premalignant iMycEu B splenocytes. Myc protein was, however, drastically elevated in malignant B cells and in iMycEu one cells. Despite the fact that NFB and STAT3 are acknowledged to drive Myc expression, constitutive exercise of NFB and ...
Phospholipase C (PLC) cleaves phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate to form the second messengers inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and diacylglycerol. Recently, PLC-L2, a PLC-like protein that lacks lipase activity, has been identified in skeletal muscle, as well as in B and T lymphocytes. Takenaka et al. generated PLC-2-deficient mice to investigate the possible role of PLC-2 signaling in B lymphocytes. PLC-L2-deficient mature B cells showed an enhanced proliferative response and increased expression of the activation marker CD69 after B cell receptor (BCR) stimulation in vitro, and mice displayed increased production of immunoglobulin M (IgM), IgG1, and IgG3 in response to antigen treatment in vivo. The authors used fura-2 imaging to show that Ca2+ influx after BCR stimulation was enhanced in PLC-2-deficient cells; moreover, translocation of nuclear factor of activated T cells (which is regulated by calcineurin, which is itself calcium-dependent) was enhanced. Finally, PLC-2-deficient cells showed ...
This study reports the successful purification of the P2Y12-R to near homogeneity. The purified receptor, when stimulated by 2MeSADP, functionally activates reconstituted purified G proteins, promoting GTPase activity that is greatly augmented by RGS4. This reconstitution system provides the most unambiguous means available to date to assess the pharmacological selectivity of the P2Y12-R and to directly determine its Gα-subunit selectivity.. The P2Y12-R was one of the first receptors illustrated to inhibit adenylyl cyclase and the first P2Y receptor studied biochemically (Cooper and Rodbell, 1979). Subsequent investigations revealed the P2Y12-R to be a unique member of the P2Y receptor family in that it coupled to Gαi rather than Gαq (Hollopeter et al., 2001). The eventual cloning of the P2Y12-R revealed a sequence with very low homology to the five previously cloned Gq/phospholipase C-coupled P2Y receptors (Foster et al., 2001; Hollopeter et al., 2001; Takasaki et al., 2001; Zhang et al., ...

Together, the results from this study provide evidence for B1 receptor homo-oligomerization and the importance of this mechanism in the expression of the receptor on the cell surface of HEK293 cells. This mechanism directly translates into the presentation of a constitutive mechanism for cellular signaling through Gq/11-mediated phospholipase Cβ activity. Such homo-oligomers may be a regulatory point in B1 receptor maturation, and their disruption could provide a unique way for silencing signaling through this and other B1 receptor-stimulated pathways during inflammation.. Multiple methods were used to investigate whether B1 receptors form homo-oligomers in HEK293 cells. Although neither of these methods alone is sufficient to prove oligomerization, together they are consistent with such a mechanism. Higher order oligomeric receptor forms were readily apparent on immunoblots of SDS-PAGE gels. Such complexes were also indicated by coimmunoprecipitation of differentially tagged receptors. ...

To investigate the role of phospholipase C (PLC) in inflammatory processes, we tested 1-(6-((17β-3-methoxyestra-1,3,5(10)-trien-17-yl)amino)hexyl)-1H-pyrrole-2,5-dione (U73122), a widely used PLC inhibitor, in several in vitro and in vivo assays. We first examined the effects of U73122 on human phospholipase C-β (PLC-β) isozymes and found that U73122 significantly inhibited recombinant human PLC-β2, with an IC50 of ∼6 μM. U73122 had little effect on PLC-β1, PLC-β3, or PLC-β4. Consistent with its ability to inhibit PLC-β2 enzymatic activity, U73122 reduced interleukin-8 and leukotriene B4-induced Ca2+ flux and chemotaxis in human neutrophils in a concentration-dependent manner. In vivo, U73122 blocked carrageenan-induced hind paw edema in rats, carrageenan-induced macrophage and lymphocyte accumulation into subcutaneous chambers in dogs, lipopolysaccharide-induced macrophage, lymphocyte infiltration and prostaglandin E2 production in a mouse peritonitis model, and ...

Phylogenetic analysis of PLC-γ proteins: The PLC-γ homolog encoded by sl is the only one present in the now almost-complete D. melanogaster genome sequence, and only a single gene has been identified in the other invertebrate genomes sequenced to date. By contrast, a gene duplication event produced separate γ1 and γ2 subtypes at some point in the vertebrate lineage; each subtype has identical domain structure and similar sequence, but distinct functions. To reveal the relationships between PLC-γ homologs, we produced a translation of the putative ORFs from both D. pseudoobscura and D. virilis and compared them to all other complete PLC-γ homologs in the GenBank database, including D. melanogaster, the mosquito Anopheles gambiae, the sponge E. fluviatilis, the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, the cow Bos taurus (γ1), the rat Rattus rattus (γ1 and γ2), and Homo sapiens (γ1 and γ2).

Phospholipase C (PLC) regulates various cellular processes by catalyzing the formation of inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) and diacylglycerol from phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2). Here, we have investigated the influence of Ca2+ on receptor-triggered PLC activity in individual insulin-secreting β-cells. Evanescent wave microscopy was used to record PLC activity using green fluorescent protein (GFP)-tagged PIP2/IP3-binding pleckstrin homology domain from PLCδ1, and the cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) was simultaneously measured using the indicator Fura Red. Stimulation of MIN6 β-cells with the muscarinic-receptor agonist carbachol induced rapid and sustained PLC activation. By contrast, only transient activation was observed after stimulation in the absence of extracellular Ca2+ or in the presence of the non-selective Ca2+ channel inhibitor La3+. The Ca2+-dependent sustained phase of PLC activity did not require voltage-gated Ca2+ influx, as hyperpolarization with ...
Dermal fibroblasts from human, rhesus macaque, mouse and rat with and without dsRNA (poly I:C) stimulation (1ug/mL for 4 hours). The innate immune response - the expression programme that is initiated once a pathogen is sensed - is known to be variable among responding cells, as well as to rapidly evolve in the course of mammal evolution. To study the transcriptional divergence and cell-to-cell variability of this response, we stimulated dermal fibroblast cells from two primates (human and macaque) and two rodents (mouse and rat) with dsRNA - a mimic of viral RNA that elicits a rapid innate immune response. Subsequently, we profiled the response using bulk RNA-seq, scRNA-seq and ChIP-seq across the four species and across different time points.

We are interested in learning how small molecules in the blood stream can cause cells to react in specific ways, such as growing, dividing or migrating. While there are many agents that can stimulate or inhibit cell behavior, we are most interested in the ability of certain hormones and neurotransmitters to activate a family of proteins called G Proteins. G proteins can simulate an enzyme called phospholipase Cbeta (PLCbeta). Activation of PLCbeta raises the level of calcium in the cell, which changes the activity of many other proteins. Additionally, PLCbeta can also affect the ability of a cell to control the transcription of specific genes into proteins by changing the stability of their messenger RNA. ...

Overexpression on plasma membrane of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is reported in 25% to 30% of breast cancers. Heterodimer formation with cognate members of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) family, such as HER3 and EGFR, activates abnormal cell-signalling cascades responsible for tumorigenesis and further transcriptional HER2 gene upregulation. Targeting the molecular mechanisms controlling HER2 overexpression and recycling may effectively deactivate this feedback-amplification loop. We recently showed that inactivation of phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase C (PC-PLC) may exert a pivotal role in selectively modulating the expression on the membrane of specific receptors or proteins relevant to cell function. In the present study, we investigated the capability of PC-PLC inhibition to target the molecular mechanisms controlling HER2 overexpression on the membrane of breast cancer cells by altering the rates of its endocytosis and lysosomal degradation.

This study was undertaken to define pathways by which LPS might activate the ERK kinases in alveolar macrophages. We hypothesized that LPS activates a PC-PLC, leading to production of DAG, an activator of sphingomyelinase activity. This, in turn, results in increased amounts of ceramide, an important effector molecule, which activates PKC ζ. PKC ζ activates MEK, which subsequently leads to ERK kinase activation. To test this hypothesis, we showed that LPS activates the ERK 2 kinase in alveolar macrophages and that this activation is inhibited by D609, a relatively specific inhibitor of PC-PLC. We next showed that LPS increases amounts of DAG and ceramide and that both of these effects of LPS are inhibited by D609. Our present studies indicate that LPS induction of DAG in alveolar macrophages is derived, at least in part, from a PC-containing phospholipid. Thus, we conclude from these experiments that the LPS-induced DAG is derived from hydrolysis of PC via activation of PC-PLC. In separate ...

I.. AU - Wu, Dianqing. PY - 1996/2/15. Y1 - 1996/2/15. N2 - Purpose: Determine if PLC-β4 has a retinal function by making/assessing a mouse knockout. Rationale: PLC-β4 is one of the four PLC-β isoforms that have been cloned and can be activated by the Gα subunits of G-proteins of the Gq class, but not by the Gβγ subunits. PLC-β4 shares a closer homology to the NorpA protein (which mediates phototransduction in Drosopnila) than to the isoforms PLC-β1-β3. Previous immunohistochemical studies have shown that PLC-β4 is expressed in cone photoreceptors, and in bipolar and ganglion cells1. Method: A mouse line was generated in which the PLC-β4 genes are disrupted. Retinal rod function was assessed with single-flash a- and b-wave electroretinography. Anatomical analysis of rod density, rod ...

The activity of the early signaling enzyme, phospholipase Cβ1b (PLCβ1b), is elevated in diseased myocardium and activity increases with disease progression. PLCβ1b and the alternative splice variant, PLCβ1a, were expressed in mouse hearts using adeno-associated viral constructs (rAAV6-FLAG-PLCβ1b, rAAV6-FLAG- PLCβ1a) delivered intravenously. Functional responses were assessed in vivo and confirmatory mechanistic studies were conducted in neonatal rat ventricular myocytes (NRVM). FLAG-PLCβ1b was expressed in all of the chambers of the mouse heart, but was highest in left ventricle, where expression was observed in ,90% of the cells and was localized to the sarcolemma and T-tubules. Heightened PLCβ1b expression caused a rapid loss of contractility and down-regulation of Phospholamban expression. The loss of contractility induced by PLCβ1b was reversed by inhibition of protein kinase Cα (PKCα). PLCβ1a did not affect contractile function or phospholamban expression. Mechanistic analysis ...

Calcineurin has functions in T cell activation, activation-induced cell death (AICD), T cell tolerance, ion channel regulation, cardiac myocyte hypertrophy, sperm motility, synaptic endocytosis, and Alzheimers disease (17-20). In lymphocytes, antigen engagement of lymphocyte receptors promotes the activation of phospholipase C-γ (PLC-γ) (Figure 10). Activated PLC-γ hydrolyzes phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate into inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) and diacylglycerol. IP3 then binds to receptors on the endoplasmic reticulum and drives Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum into the cytoplasm, which triggers opening of Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ channels. Calcineurin is activated by binding of CaM in response to sustained increased levels of intracellular calcium (11;21). Upon calcineurin activation, it dephosphorylates members of the nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) family, promoting their translocation from the cytosol to the nucleus and subsequent induction of the ...

PubMed lists over 1,500 papers with U73122 in the abstract. The large majority use the inhibitor simply as a tool to check that some signaling pathway requires PLC. However, numerous papers report additional unexpected effects, raising question whether this agent can be used as a pharmacological tool without serious side effects. We select results from just four early papers. The initial brief announcement of U73122 from Upjohn reports that it inhibits partially purified PLC in vitro when the molar ratio of Ca2+:PI in the assay was ,2, but increased PLC activity when the molar ratio was 4-12 (Bleasdale et al., 1989). There are no data or experimental details in that book chapter. A careful study in NG108-15 neuroblastoma-glioma cells and in dorsal root ganglion cells shows that U73122 blocks bradykinin-induced Ca2+ transients irreversibly with a steep dose-response curve and a half-effective dose IC50 of 200 nM for 20-min preincubations and that U73343 is without effect (Jin et al., 1994). ...
Certainly, 6 ME did not have an impact on VEGF induced phosphorylation of AKT, one of the key cascades that confer endothelial cell survival, Likewise, six ME did not have an impact on VEGF induced phosphorylation of p38 MAPK, a signaling cascade that mediates the induction selleck chemicalWZ4003 of endothelial cell migration by VEGF, These success, along with the truth that six ME isnt going to inhibit PLC activation, as VEGF induced calcium release in not impacted, exclude the kinase exercise of VEGFR2 KDR of becoming the target of six ME. In confirmation, six ME plainly inhibited, at 10uM concentration, the phosphorylation of MEK1 two and its downstream target ERK1 two, parts from the mitotic MAPK pathway that VEGF triggers by means of PLC activation. Numerous growth factors acti vate the ERK1 two MAPK pathway in a Ras dependent manner, Without a doubt, 6 ME inhibited also FGF2 induced phosphorylation of ERK1 2 absolutely compatible together with the undeniable fact that 6 ME inhibited also ...
