Abstract
AIM To investigate the effect of endogenous PTH deficiency on osteoclasts during fracture healing and its mechanism. METHODS A femoral fracture model was used to determine the role of endogenous PTH in fracture healing. Immunohistochemistry, qPCR, and Western blot were used to determine the potential functions and mechanisms of endogenous PTH. RESULT In this study, we found that expression of RANKL and CK was lower in PTH knockout (KO) mice than in wild type (WT) mice. In vitro culture of osteoclasts showed that under the same stimulation, there was no statistical difference in the number of osteoclasts and the area of bone resorption areas in PTH WT mice and PTH KO mice. We found that a high concentration of RANKL could promote the number and activity of osteoclasts. Upon induction of osteoblasts in vitro, those from the PTH WT group expressed higher RANKL protein and mRNA than those from the PTH KO group. Lastly, we confirmed that the PI3K/AKT/STAT5 pathway promotes RANKL increase from osteoblasts. CONCLUSION During fracture healing, endogenous PTH deficiency can affect osteoclast activity by reducing RANKL expression in osteoblasts.

Abstract
KEY POINTS The ascending brainstem transmitter acetylcholine depolarizes thalamocortical relay neurons while it induces hyperpolarization in local circuit inhibitory interneurons. Sustained K+ currents are modulated in thalamic neurons to control their activity modes; for the interneurons the molecular nature of the underlying ion channels is as yet unknown. Activation of TASK-1 K+ channels results in hyperpolarization of interneurons and suppression of their action potential firing. The modulation cascade involves a non-receptor tyrosine kinase, c-Src. The present study identifies a novel pathway for the activation of TASK-1 channels in CNS neurons that resembles cholinergic signalling and TASK-1 current modulation during hypoxia in smooth muscle cells. ABSTRACT The dorsal part of the lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN) is the main thalamic site for state-dependent transmission of visual information. Non-retinal inputs from the ascending arousal system and inhibition provided by γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)ergic local circuit interneurons (INs) control neuronal activity within the dLGN. In particular, acetylcholine (ACh) depolarizes thalamocortical relay neurons by inhibiting two-pore domain potassium (K2P ) channels. Conversely, ACh also hyperpolarizes INs via an as-yet-unknown mechanism. By using whole cell patch-clamp recordings in brain slices and appropriate pharmacological tools we here report that stimulation of type 2 muscarinic ACh receptors induces IN hyperpolarization by recruiting the G-protein βγ subunit (Gβγ), class-1A phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase, and cellular and sarcoma (c-Src) tyrosine kinase, leading to activation of two-pore domain weakly inwardly rectifying K+ channel (TWIK)-related acid-sensitive K+ (TASK)-1 channels. The latter was confirmed by the use of TASK-1-deficient mice. Furthermore inhibition of phospholipase Cβ as well as an increase in the intracellular level of phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate facilitated the muscarinic effect. Our results have uncovered a previously unknown role of c-Src tyrosine kinase in regulating IN function in the brain and identified a novel mechanism by which TASK-1 channels are activated in neurons.

Abstract
Parathyroid hormone (PTH), a pleiotropic hormone that maintains mineral homeostasis, is also essential for controlling pH balance and ion transport across renal and intestinal epithelia. Optimization of luminal pH is important for absorption of trace elements, e.g., calcium and phosphorus. We have previously demonstrated that PTH rapidly stimulated electrogenic [Formula: see text] secretion in intestinal epithelial-like Caco-2 monolayers, but the underlying cellular mechanism, contributions of other ions, particularly Cl- and K+, and long-lasting responses are not completely understood. Herein, PTH and forskolin were confirmed to induce anion secretion, which peaked within 1-3 min (early phase), followed by an abrupt decay and plateau that lasted for 60 min (late phase). In both early and late phases, apical membrane capacitance was increased with a decrease in basolateral capacitance after PTH or forskolin exposure. PTH also induced a transient increase in apical conductance with a long-lasting decrease in basolateral conductance. Anion secretion in both phases was reduced under [Formula: see text]-free and/or Cl--free conditions or after exposure to carbonic anhydrase inhibitor (acetazolamide), CFTR inhibitor (CFTRinh-172), Na+/H+ exchanger (NHE)-3 inhibitor (tenapanor), or K+ channel inhibitors (BaCl2, clotrimazole, and TRAM-34; basolateral side), the latter of which suggested that PTH action was dependent on basolateral K+ recycling. Furthermore, early- and late-phase responses to PTH were diminished by inhibitors of PI3K (wortmannin and LY-294002) and PKA (PKI 14-22). In conclusion, PTH requires NHE3 and basolateral K+ channels to induce [Formula: see text] and Cl- secretion, thus explaining how PTH regulated luminal pH balance and pH-dependent absorption of trace minerals.

Abstract
Besides being a Ca²-regulating hormone, parathyroid hormone (PTH) has also been shown to regulate epithelial transport of certain ions, such as Cl, HCO₃, and Na, particularly in the kidney. Although the intestinal epithelium also expressed PTH receptors, little was known regarding its mechanism in the regulation of intestinal ion transport. We investigated the ion regulatory role of PTH in intestinal epithelium-like Caco-2 monolayer by Ussing chamber technique and alternating current impedance spectroscopy. It was found that Caco-2 cells rapidly responded to PTH within 1 min by increasing apical HCO₃- secretion. CFTR served as the principal route for PTH-stimulated apical HCOV efflux, which was abolished by various CFTR inhibitors, namely, NPPB, glycine hydrazide-101 (GlyH-101), and CFTRinh-172, as well as by small interfering RNA against CFTR. Concurrently, the plasma membrane resistance was decreased with no changes in the plasma membrane capacitance or paracellular permeability. HCOV was probably supplied by basolateral uptake via the electrogenic Na⁺-HCO₃⁻ cotransporter and by methazolamide-sensitive carbonic anhydrase, while the resulting intracellular H⁺ might be extruded by both apical and basolateral Na/H exchangers. Furthermore, the PTH-stimulated HCO₃-secretion was markedly reduced by protein kinase A (PKA) inhibitor (PKI 14-22 amide) and phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitors (wortmannin and LY-294002), but not by intracellular Ca²⁺ chelator (BAPTA-AM) or protein kinase C inhibitor (GF-109203X). In conclusion, the present study provided evidence that PTH directly and rapidly stimulated apical HCO₃- secretion through CFTR in PKA- and PI3K-dependent manner, which was a novel noncalciotropic, ion regulatory action of PTH in the intestinal epithelium.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol-3-kinases (PI3K) are a family of enzymes that act downstream of cell surface receptors leading to activation of multiple signaling pathways regulating cellular growth, proliferation, motility, and survival. To date, most research efforts have focused on a group of PI3K-family enzymes termed class I, of which the most studied member is PI3Kα. PI3Kα is an oncogene frequently mutated in human cancer, as is the chief negative regulator of the pathway, the tumor suppressor PTEN. Recently, it has been suggested that tumors deficient for PTEN might depend on the function of another class I member, PI3Kβ, to sustain their transformed phenotype. Taken together, these findings provide a significant medical rationale to study the signaling cascades regulated by PI3Kα and PI3Kβ particularly in the context of their role in the development and maintenance of human cancer. Here, we summarize the current understanding of the upstream receptor regulation of the two PI3K isoforms and their roles in cancer as well as their functional requirements in downstream signaling cascades.

Abstract
PURPOSE c-Src inhibition in cancer cells leads to an abrogation of invasion but a variable effect on apoptosis. The pathways downstream of c-Src promoting survival are not well characterized. Because cancer therapy that both decreases invasion and induces significant apoptosis would be ideal, we sought to characterize the mechanisms of resistance to c-Src inhibition. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN c-Src was inhibited in a panel of oral cancer cell lines and subsequent survival and signaling measured. The interactions between c-Src and c-Met were evaluated using immunoprecitation and an in vitro kinase assay. Cytotoxicity was measured and the Chou-Talalay combination index calculated. An orthotopic model of oral cancer was used to assess the effects of c-Met and c-Src inhibitors. RESULTS Inhibition of c-Src resulted in c-Met inhibition in sensitive cells lines, but not in resistant cell lines. Isolated c-Met was a c-Src substrate in both sensitive and resistant cells, but there was no interaction of c-Src and c-Met in intact resistant cells. To examine the biological consequences of this mechanism, we demonstrated synergistic cytotoxicity, enhanced apoptosis, and decreased tumor size with the combination of c-Src and c-Met inhibitors. CONCLUSIONS Sustained c-Met activation can mediate resistance to c-Src inhibition. These data suggest that the differences between c-Met and c-Src signaling in sensitive and resistant cells are due to distinct factors promoting or inhibiting interactions, respectively, rather than to intrinsic structural changes in c-Src or c-Met. The synergistic cytotoxic effects of c-Src and c-Met inhibition may be important for the treatment of head and neck cancers.

Abstract
Integrin signaling is central to cell growth and differentiation, and critical for the processes of apoptosis, cell migration and wound repair. Previous research has demonstrated a requirement for SNARE-dependent membrane traffic in integrin trafficking, as well as cell adhesion and migration. The goal of the present research was to ascertain whether SNARE-dependent membrane trafficking is required specifically for integrin-mediated signaling. Membrane traffic was inhibited in Chinese hamster ovary cells by expression of dominant-negative (E329Q) N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive fusion protein (NSF) or a truncated form of the SNARE SNAP23. Integrin signaling was monitored as cells were plated on fibronectin under serum-free conditions. E329Q-NSF expression inhibited phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) on Tyr397 at early time points of adhesion. Phosphorylation of FAK on Tyr576, Tyr861 and Tyr925 was also impaired by expression of E329Q-NSF or truncated SNAP23, as was trafficking, localization and activation of Src and its interaction with FAK. Decreased FAK-Src interaction coincided with reduced Rac activation, decreased focal adhesion turnover, reduced Akt phosphorylation and lower phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate levels in the cell periphery. Over-expression of plasma membrane-targeted Src or phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) rescued cell spreading and focal adhesion turnover. The results suggest that SNARE-dependent trafficking is required for integrin signaling through a FAK/Src/PI3K-dependent pathway.

Abstract
In previous works, we found that PTH promotes the apoptosis of human Caco-2 intestinal cells, through the mitochondrial pathway. This study was conducted to investigate the modulation of different players implicated in the AKT survival pathway in PTH-induced intestinal cell apoptosis. We demonstrate, for the first time, that PTH modulates AKT phosphorylation in response to apoptosis via the serine/threonine phosphatase PP2A. PTH treatment induces an association of AKT with the catalytic subunit of PP2A and increases its phosphatase activity. PTH also promotes the translocation of PP2Ac from the cytosol to the mitochondria. Furthermore, our results suggest that PP2A plays a role in hormone-dependent Caco-2 cells viability and in the cleavage of caspase-3 and its substrate PARP. The cAMP pathway also contributes to PTH-mediated AKT dephosphorylation while PKC and p38 MAPK do not participate in this event. Finally, we show that PTH induces the dissociation between 14-3-3 and AKT, but the significance of this response remains unknown. In correlation with PTH-induced Bad dephosphorylation, the hormone also decreases the basal association of 14-3-3 and Bad. Overall, our data suggest that in Caco-2 cells, PP2A and the cAMP pathway act in concert to inactivate the AKT survival pathway in PTH-induced intestinal cell apoptosis.

Abstract
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) activates multiple signaling pathways following binding to the PTH1 receptor in osteoblasts. Previous work revealed a discrepancy between cAMP stimulation and CRE reporter activation of truncated PTH peptides, suggesting that additional signaling pathways contribute to activation of the CRE. Using a CRE-Luciferase reporter containing multiple copies of the CRE stably transfected into the osteoblastic cell line Saos-2, we tested the ability of modulators of alternative pathways to activate the CRE or block the PTH-induced activation of the CRE. Activators of non-cyclic AMP pathways, that is, EGF (Akt, MAPK, JAK/STAT pathways); thapsigargin (intracellular calcium pathway); phorbol myristate acetate (protein kinase C, PKC pathway) induced minor increases in CRE-luciferase activity alone but induced dramatic synergistic effects in combination with PTH. The protein kinase A (PKA) inhibitor H-89 (10 microM) almost completely blocked PTH-induced activation of the CRE-reporter. Adenylate cyclase inhibitors SQ 22536 and DDA had profound and time-dependent biphasic effects on the CRE response. The MAPK inhibitor PD 98059 partially inhibited basal and PTH-induced CRE activity to the same degree, while the PKC inhibitor bisindolylmaleimide (BIS) had variable effects. The calmodulin kinase II inhibitor KN-93 had no significant effect on the response to PTH. We conclude that non-cAMP pathways (EGF pathway, calcium pathway, PKC pathway) converge on, and have synergistic effects on, the response of a CRE reporter to PTH.

Abstract
Prolongation of cell survival through prevention of apoptosis is considered to be a significant factor leading to anabolic responses in bone. The current studies were carried out to determine the role of the small GTPase, RhoA, in osteoblast apoptosis, since RhoA has been found to be critical for cell survival in other tissues. We investigated the effects of inhibitors and activators of RhoA signaling on osteoblast apoptosis. In addition, we assessed the relationship of this pathway to parathyroid hormone (PTH) effects on apoptotic signaling and cell survival. RhoA is activated by geranylgeranylation, which promotes its membrane anchoring. In serum-starved MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cells, inhibition of geranylgeranylation with geranylgeranyl transferase I inhibitors increased activity of caspase-3, a component step in the apoptosis cascade, and increased cell death. Dominant negative RhoA and Y27632, an inhibitor of the RhoA effector Rho kinase, also increased caspase-3 activity. A geranylgeranyl group donor, geranylgeraniol, antagonized the effect of the geranylgeranyl transferase I inhibitor GGTI-2166, but could not overcome the effect of the Rho kinase inhibitor. PTH 1-34, a potent anti-apoptotic agent, completely antagonized the stimulatory effects of GGTI-2166, dominant negative RhoA, and Y27632, on caspase-3 activity. The results suggest that RhoA signaling is essential for osteoblastic cell survival but that the survival effects of PTH 1-34 are independent of this pathway.

Abstract
Apoptosis, a form of programmed cell death, is a process fundamental to normal growth and development, immune response, tissue remodeling after injury or insult, and homeostasis of the intestinal epithelium. Recently, it has become apparent that apoptosis is a crucial process in skeletal development and homeostasis, and that signaling by the parathyroid hormone (PTH) receptor can either promote or suppress apoptosis depending on the cellular context. In this study, we evaluated the role of PTH in intestinal apoptosis using human colonic Caco-2 cells. To that end, Caco-2 cells were exposed to PTH (10−8 mol/L) for 1–5 days. Evaluation of cell survival by use of resazurin staining, 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium (MTS) staining, and crystal violet staining revealed that PTH treatment diminishes the number of viable cells. Assessment of cells after PTH treatment by use of propidium iodide showed that the hormone increased the number of red-stained (dead) cells (178%, 5 days). Moreover, we found that the hormone induced disruption of actin filaments with changes to cellular shape, alteration of cell-to-cell junctions, externalization of membrane phosphatidylserine, chromatin condensation, and DNA fragmentation of the nucleus, which are morphological features consistent with apoptosis. In addition, PTH treatment revealed a cytosolic staining pattern of 14-3-3. However, the significance of such differential localization for 14-3-3 function remains unknown. Taken together, the present study suggests that PTH promotes apoptosis in Caco-2 intestinal cells.

Abstract
H(2)O(2) is a highly reactive oxygen metabolite that has been implicated as an important mediator of inflammation-induced intestinal injury associated with ischaemia/reperfusion, radiation and inflammatory bowel disease. Previous studies have shown that H(2)O(2) inhibits NaCl absorption and activates Cl(-) secretion in the rat and rabbit colon. To date, however, almost no information is available with respect to its effect on the human intestinal apical anion exchanger Cl(-)/OH(-) (HCO(3)(-)). The present studies were, therefore, undertaken to examine the direct effects of H(2)O(2) on OH(-) gradient-driven DIDS (4,4'-di-isothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonate)-sensitive (36)Cl(-) uptake utilizing a post-confluent transformed human intestinal epithelial cell line, Caco-2. Our results demonstrate that H(2)O(2) (1 mM for 60 min) significantly inhibited (approx. 60%; P<0.05) Cl(-)/OH(-) exchange activity in Caco-2 cells. H(2)O(2)-mediated inhibition of Cl(-)/OH(-) exchange activity involved the Src kinase Fyn and PI3K (phosphoinositide 3-kinase)-dependent pathways. H(2)O(2) also induced phosphorylation of Fyn and p85 (the regulatory subunit of PI3K) in Caco-2 cells. Moreover, an increased association of Fyn and p85 was observed in response to H(2)O(2), resulting in the activation of the downstream target PLCgamma1 (phospholipase Cgamma1). Elevated intracellular Ca(2+) levels and PKCalpha (protein kinase Calpha) functioned as downstream effectors of H(2)O(2)-induced PLCgamma1 activation. Our results, for the first time, provide evidence for H(2)O(2)-induced Src kinase Fyn/PI3K complex association. This complex association resulted in the subsequent activation of PLCgamma1 and Ca(2+)-dependent PKCalpha, resulting in the inhibition of Cl(-)/OH(-) exchange activity. These findings suggest that H(2)O(2)-induced inhibition of the Cl(-)/OH(-) exchange process may play an important role in the pathophysiology of diarrhoea associated with inflammatory disorders, where the amount of reactive oxygen species is markedly elevated.

Abstract
The activity of the Na+/H+ exchanger NHE3 is regulated by a number of factors including parathyroid hormone (PTH). In the current study, we used a renal epithelial cell line, the opossum kidney (OKP) cell, to elucidate the mechanisms underlying the long-term effects of PTH on NHE3 transport activity and expression. We observed that NHE3 activity was reduced 6 h after addition of PTH, and this reduction persisted almost unaltered after 24 h. The decrease in activity was associated with diminished NHE3 cell surface expression at 6, 16, and 24 h after PTH addition, total cellular NHE3 protein at 16 and 24 h, and NHE3 mRNA abundance at 24 h. The lower levels of NHE3 mRNA were associated to a small, but significant, decrease in mRNA stability. Additionally, by analyzing the rat NHE3 gene promoter activity in OKP cells, we verified that the regulatory region spanning the segment −152 to +55 was mildly reduced under the influence of PTH. This effect was completely abolished by the presence of the PKA inhibitor KT 5720. In conclusion, long-term exposure to PTH results in reduction of NHE3 mRNA levels due to a PKA-dependent inhibitory effect on the NHE3 promoter and a small reduction of mRNA half-life, and decrease in the total amount of protein which is preceded by endocytosis of the apical surface NHE3. The decreased NHE3 expression is likely to be responsible for the reduction of sodium, bicarbonate, and fluid reabsorption in the proximal tubule consistently perceived in experimental models of PTH disorders.

Abstract
To understand the molecular basis underlying the anabolic action of parathyroid hormone (PTH) on bone, the anti-apoptotic action of PTH on osteoblast-like cells was investigated. Since Akt is a key protein kinase for cell survival, we focused on a possible involvement of Akt in the anti-apoptotic action of PTH. Human osteoblast-like MG-63 cells cultured without serum were treated with PTH. Western blot analysis revealed that PTH rapidly phosphorylated Akt and induced its nuclear translocation. The phosphorylation of pro-apoptotic protein Bad was also increased by PTH, leading to its inactivation. The PTH-dependent activation of Akt was also detected in other osteoblastic cell lines, SaOS-2 and ROS 17/2.8. The pretreatment of MG-63 cells with either one of inhibitors for phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), wortmannin or LY294002 prevented Akt and Bad phosphorylation. Furthermore, co-immunoprecipitation analysis revealed that PTH receptor (PTH-1R) directly interacted with p85, a regulatory subunit of PI3K, in a PTH-dependent manner. Serum withdrawal induced the apoptosis of MG-63 cells, and PTH prevented the apoptosis, which was inhibited by PI3K inhibitors. These results demonstrate the presence of a novel PTH/PTH receptor signaling cascade consisting of PTH-1R, PI3K, Akt and Bad and that this cascade can work as an anti-apoptotic signaling pathway in osteoblast-like cells.

Abstract
In the present study, we examined the role of Parathyroid hormone (PTH) on the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) 1/2 and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) members of the MAPK family as it relates to ageing by measuring hormone-induced changes in their activity in enterocytes isolated from young (3 month old) and aged (24 month old) rats. Our results show that PTH induces a transient activation of JNK 1/2, peaking at 1 min (+threefold). The hormone also stimulates JNK 1/2 tyrosine phosphorylation, in a dose-dependent fashion, this effect being maximal at 10 nM. PTH-induced JNK 1/2 phosphorylation was suppressed by its selective inhibitor SP600125. Moreover, hormone-dependent activation of JNK 1/2 was dependent on calcium, since pretreatment of cells with BAPTA-AM or EGTA blocked PTH effects. With ageing, the response to PTH was significantly reduced. JNK basal protein expression was not different in the enterocytes from young and aged rats, however, basal protein phosphorylation increased with ageing. PTH did not stimulate, within 1-10 min, the basal activity and phosphorylation of p38 MAPK in rat intestinal cells. The hormone increased enterocyte DNA synthesis; the response was dose-dependent and decreased (-40%) with ageing. In agreement with the mitogenic role of the MAPK cascades, this effect was blocked by specific inhibitors of extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (ERK) 1/2 and JNK 1/2. The results obtained in this work expand our knowledge on the mechanism of action of PTH in duodenal cells.

Abstract
Yeast-derived zymosan beads are among the classical agents used to induce sterile inflammatory responses in experimental animals and macrophage activation in cell culture. In macrophages the cytosolic phospholipase A2 becomes activated, leading to mobilization of arachidonate and the generation of prostaglandins and leukotrienes. Although zymosan can interact with several receptors it has not been unequivocally demonstrated which interaction is required for induction of the eicosanoid response. We have compared arachidonate release induced in primary mouse macrophages by zymosan and particulate beta-glucan and found striking similarities. The similarities include the effects of dectin-1 antagonists (soluble beta-glucan and laminarin) and of inhibitors of Src family kinases, the Tec kinase Btk, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and the Map kinases ERK and p38. Furthermore, particulate beta-glucan was equally effective as zymosan in causing phosphorylation of phospholipase Cgamma2, arguing that both agents act via the beta-glucan receptor dectin-1 and that the above signal components are engaged down-stream of that receptor. Suggestive evidence for a role of the scaffold adaptor Gab2 is also presented.

Abstract
Ginseng, refering to the roots of the species of the genus Panax ginseng, has been widely used in traditional oriental medicine for its wide spectrum of medicinal effects, such as anti-inflammatory, anti-tumorigenic, adaptogenic, and anti-aging activities. Many of its medicinal effects are attributed to the triterpene glycosides known as ginsenosides. In this study, we report a novel anti-apoptotic activity of 20(S)-ginsenoside Rg3 ((20S)Rg3) and its underlying molecular mechanism in human endothelial cells (ECs). ECs undergo apoptosis associated with increased LEHDase (caspase-9) and DEVDase (caspase-3) activity and DNA fragmentation after 24h of serum deprivation. These apoptotic markers were suppressed by the addition of (20S)Rg3. (20S)Rg3 increased the expression of Bax and conversely decreased Bcl-2. (20S)Rg3 potently induced a rapid and sustained Akt activation and Bad phosphorylation, resulting in the inhibition of mitochondrial cytochrome c release. These anti-apoptotic activities of (20S)Rg3 were significantly abrogated in cells expressing dominant negative Akt. Taken together, our results suggest that (20S)Rg3 prevents EC apoptosis via Akt-dependent inhibition of the mitochondrial apoptotic signaling pathway. The novel property of (20S)Rg3 may be valuable for developing new pharmaceutical means that will control unwanted endothelial cell death at the site of vascular injury.

Abstract
Background Yeast and bacteria elicit arachidonate release in macrophages, leading to the formation of leukotrienes and prostaglandins, important mediators of inflammation. Receptors recognising various microbes have been identified, but the signalling pathways are not entirely understood. Cytosolic phospholipase A2 is a major down-stream target and this enzyme is regulated by both phosphorylation and an increase in intracellular Ca2+. Potential signal components are MAP kinases, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and phospholipase Cγ2. The latter can undergo tyrosine phosphorylation, and Src family kinases might carry out this phosphorylation. Btk, a Tec family kinase, could also be important. Our aim was to further elucidate the role of Src family kinases and Btk. Methods Arachidonate release from murine peritoneal macrophages was measured by prior radiolabeling. Furthermore, immunoprecipitation and Western blotting were used to monitor changes in activity/phosphorylation of intermediate signal components. To determine the role of Src family kinases two different inhibitors with broad specificity (PP2 and the Src kinase inhibitor 1, SKI-1) were used as well as the Btk inhibitor LFM-A13. Results Arachidonate release initiated by either Staphylococcus aureus or yeast-derived zymosan beads was shown to depend on members of the Src kinase family as well as Btk. Src kinases were found to act upstream of Btk, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, phospholipase Cγ2 and the MAP kinases ERK and p38, thereby affecting all branches of the signalling investigated. In contrast, Btk was not involved in the activation of the MAP-kinases. Since the cytosolic phospholipase A2 in macrophages is regulated by both phosphorylation (via ERK and p38) and an increase in intracellular Ca2+, we propose that members of the Src kinase family are involved in both types of regulation, while the role of Btk may be restricted to the latter type. Conclusion Arachidonate release induced by either Staphylococcus aureus or zymosan was found to depend on Src family kinases as well as Btk. While members of the Src kinase family were shown to act upstream of Btk and the MAP kinases, Btk plays another role independent of MAP kinases, but down-stream of the Src family kinases.

Abstract
We have previously shown that retinoic acid (RA), a factor highly expressed in spinal cord, rapidly and specifically enhances the spontaneous acetylcholine release at developing neuromuscular synapses in Xenopus cell culture, using whole-cell patch-clamp recording. We have now further investigated the underlying mechanisms that are involved in RA-induced facilitation on the frequency of spontaneous synaptic currents (SSCs). Buffering the rise of intracellular Ca2+ with BAPTA-AM hampered the facilitation of SSC frequency induced by RA. The prompt RA-enhanced SSC frequency was not abolished when Ca2+ was eliminated from the culture medium or there was bath application of the pharmacological Ca2+ channel inhibitor Cd2+, indicating that Ca2+ influx through voltage-activated Ca2+ channels are not required. Application of membrane-permeable inhibitors of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P3] or ryanodine receptors effectively blocked the increase of SSC frequency elicited by RA. Treating cells with either wortmannin or LY294002, two structurally different inhibitors of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) and with the phospholipase Cgamma (PLCgamma) inhibitor U73122, abolished RA-induced facilitation of synaptic transmission. Preincubation of the cultures with pharmacological inhibitors, either genistein, a broad-spectrum tyrosine kinase inhibitor, or PP2, which predominantly inhibits the Src family of nonreceptor tyrosine kinase, completely abolished RA-induced synaptic facilitation. Taken collectively, these results suggest that RA elicits Ca2+ release from Ins1,4,5P3 and/or ryanodine-sensitive intracellular Ca2+ stores of the presynaptic nerve terminal. This is done via PLCgamma/PI 3-kinase signaling cascades and Src tyrosine kinase activation, leading to an enhancement of spontaneous transmitter release.

Abstract
Bone anabolic action of PTH has been suggested to be mediated by induction of IGF-I in osteoblasts; however, little is known about the molecular mechanism by which IGF-I leads to bone formation under the PTH stimulation. This study initially confirmed in mouse osteoblast cultures that PTH treatment increased IGF-I mRNA and protein levels and alkaline phosphatase activity, which were accompanied by phosphorylations of IGF-I receptor, insulin receptor substrate (IRS)-1 and IRS-2, essential adaptor molecules for the IGF-I signaling. To learn the involvement of IRS-1 and IRS-2 in the bone anabolic action of PTH in vivo, IRS-1-/- and IRS-2-/- mice and their respective wild-type littermates were given daily injections of PTH (80 mug/kg) or vehicle for 4 wk. In the wild-type mice, the PTH injection increased bone mineral densities of the femur, tibia, and vertebrae by 10-20% without altering the serum IGF-I level. These stimulations were similarly seen in IRS-2-/- mice; however, they were markedly suppressed in IRS-1-/- mice. Although the PTH anabolic effects were stronger on trabecular bones than on cortical bones, the stimulations on both bones were blocked in IRS-1-/- mice but not in IRS-2-/- mice. Histomorphometric and biochemical analyses showed an increased bone turnover by PTH, which was also blunted by the IRS-1 deficiency, though not by the IRS-2 deficiency. These results indicate that the PTH bone anabolic action is mediated by the activation of IRS-1, but not IRS-2, as a downstream signaling of IGF-I that acts locally as an autocrine/paracrine factor.

Abstract
alpha(2)-Adrenoceptors potentiate vascular responses to angiotensin II. The goal of this study was to test the hypothesis that the phospholipase C (PLC)/protein kinase C (PKC)/c-src/phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway contributes to the vascular angiotensin II/alpha(2)-adrenoceptor interaction. In rats in vivo, intrarenal infusions of angiotensin II (10 ng/kg/min) increased renal vascular resistance by 5.8 +/- 0.5 units, and this response was enhanced (p < 0.05) to 9.1 +/- 1.2 units by UK-14,304 [5-bromo-N-(4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-yl)-6-quinoxalinamine; 3 microg/kg/min; alpha(2)-adrenoceptor agonist]. Intrarenal infusions of U-73122 [1-[6-[[(17beta)-3-methoxyestra-1,3,5(10)-trien-17-yl]amino]-hexyl]-1H-pyrrole-2,5-dione; 3 microg/min; PLC inhibitor], GF109203X [bisindolylmaleimide I; 10 microg/min; PKC inhibitor], CGP77675 [1-(2-{4-[4-amino-5-(3-methoxyphenyl)pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7-yl]phenyl}ethyl)piperidin-4-ol; 5 microg/min; c-src inhibitor], and wortmannin (1 microg/min; PI3K inhibitor) abolished the angiotensin II/alpha(2)-adrenoceptor interaction. In isolated perfused rat kidneys, angiotensin II (0.3, 1, and 3 nM) increased perfusion pressure (by 15 +/- 8, 39 +/- 4, and 93 +/- 9 mm Hg, respectively), and UK-14,304 (1 microM) potentiated these responses (to 36 +/- 4, 67 +/- 7, and 135 +/- 17 mm Hg, respectively). This angiotensin II/alpha(2)-adrenoceptor interaction was abolished by U-73122 (10 microM), GF109203X (3 microM), CGP77675 (5 microM), and wortmannin (0.2 microM). Preglomerular microvascular smooth muscle cells expressed phospholipase (PLC)-beta(2), PLC-beta(3), c-src, phospho(tyrosine 416)-c-src, and PI3K. In these cells, angiotensin II (0.1 microM) and UK-14,304 (1 microM) per se did not increase phospho-c-src; however, the combination of angiotensin II plus UK-14,304 doubled phospho-c-src, and this interaction was abolished by U-73122 (10 microM) and GF109203X (3 microM). In conclusion, the PLC/PKC/c-src/PI3K pathway may contribute importantly to the interaction between alpha(2)-adrenoceptors and angiotensin II on renal vascular resistance.

Abstract
Adhesion by means of beta1-integrins induces the phosphorylation of Akt, an event strictly dependent on the activity of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K). Binding of the p85 regulatory subunit of PI3K to phosphorylated tyrosine 397 in focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is considered to be the mechanism of cell adhesion-induced activation of class Ia PI3K. Here we show that PI3K-dependent phosphorylation of Akt in response to ligation of beta1-integrins occurs efficiently in the absence of FAK tyrosine phosphorylation. Akt S473 phosphorylation was strongly promoted both in cells expressing the integrin subunit splice variant beta1B, which is unable to activate FAK, and in FAK knockout cells. In addition, we found this phosphorylation to be independent of the Src family kinases Src, Fyn and Yes. These results indicate that a major pathway for adhesion-dependent activation of PI3K/Akt is triggered by the membrane proximal part of the beta1 subunit in a FAK and Src-independent manner.

Abstract
The Na,K-ATPase, consisting of alpha- and beta-subunits, regulates intracellular ion homeostasis. Recent studies have demonstrated that Na,K-ATPase also regulates epithelial cell tight junction structure and functions. Consistent with an important role in the regulation of epithelial cell structure, both Na,K-ATPase enzyme activity and subunit levels are altered in carcinoma. Previously, we have shown that repletion of Na,K-ATPase beta1-subunit (Na,K-beta) in highly motile Moloney sarcoma virus-transformed Madin-Darby canine kidney (MSV-MDCK) cells suppressed their motility. However, until now, the mechanism by which Na,K-beta reduces cell motility remained elusive. Here, we demonstrate that Na,K-beta localizes to lamellipodia and suppresses cell motility by a novel signaling mechanism involving a cross-talk between Na,K-ATPase alpha1-subunit (Na,K-alpha) and Na,K-beta with proteins involved in phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-kinase) signaling pathway. We show that Na,K-alpha associates with the regulatory subunit of PI3-kinase and Na,K-beta binds to annexin II. These molecular interactions locally activate PI3-kinase at the lamellipodia and suppress cell motility in MSV-MDCK cells, independent of Na,K-ATPase ion transport activity. Thus, these results demonstrate a new role for Na,K-ATPase in regulating carcinoma cell motility.

Abstract
The concept of the role(s) of parathyroid hormone (PTH), has expanded from that on acting on the classical target tissues, bone and kidney, to the intestine where its actions are of regulatory and developmental importance: regulation of intracellular calcium through modulation of second messengers and, activation of mitogenic cascades leading to cell proliferation. Several causes have been postulated to modify the hormone response in intestinal cells with ageing, among them, alterations of PTH receptor (PTHR1) binding sites, reduced expression of G proteins and hormone signal transduction changes. The current review summarizes the actual knowledge regarding the molecular and biochemical basis of age-impaired PTH receptor-mediated signaling in intestinal cells. A fundamental understanding of why PTH functions are impaired with age will enhance our understanding of its importance in intestinal cell physiology.

Abstract
Complestatin, a bicyclo hexapeptide from Streptomyces, was isolated as a possible regulator of neuronal cell death. In this study, we report an anti-apoptotic activity of complestatin and its underlying molecular mechanism. Complestatin blocked TRAIL (TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand)-induced apoptosis and activation of caspase-3 and -8 at micromolar concentration levels without inhibiting the catalytic activities of these caspases. Complestatin potently induced a rapid and sustained AKT/PKB activation and Bad phosphorylation, resulting in inhibition of mitochondrial cytochrome c release. These anti-apoptotic activities of complestatin were significantly abrogated in cells expressing dominant negative AKT/PKB. Taken together, our results suggest that complestatin prevents apoptotic cell death via AKT/PKB-dependent inhibition of the mitochondrial apoptosis signal pathway. The novel property of complestatin may be valuable for developing new pharmaceutical means that will control unwanted cell death.

Abstract
In liver cells, the influx of Na+ mediated by nonselective cation (NSC) channels in the plasma membrane contributes importantly to regulation of cell volume. Under basal conditions, channels are closed; but both physiologic (e.g. insulin) and pathologic (e.g. oxidative stress) stimuli that are known to stimulate tyrosine kinases are associated with large increases in membrane Na+ permeability to approximately 80 pA/pF or more. Consequently, the purpose of these studies was to evaluate whether volume-sensitive tyrosine kinases mediate cell volume increases through effects on the activity or distribution of NSC channel proteins. In HTC hepatoma cells, decreases in cell volume evoked by hypertonic exposure increased total cellular tyrosine kinase activity approximately 20-fold. Moreover, hypertonic exposure (320-400 mosM) was followed after a delay by NSC channel activation and partial recovery of cell volume toward basal values (regulatory volume increase (RVI)). The tyrosine kinase inhibitors genistein and erbstatin prevented both NSC channel activation and RVI. Similarly, hypertonic exposure resulted in an increase in p60(c-src) activity, and intracellular dialysis with recombinant p60(c-src) led to activation of NSC currents in the absence of an osmolar gradient. Utilizing FM1-43 fluorescence, exposure to hypertonic media caused a rapid increase in the rate of exocytosis of approximately 40% (p < 0.01), and genistein inhibited both exocytosis and channel activation. These findings indicate that volume-sensitive increases in p60(c-src) and/or related tyrosine kinases play a key role in the regulation of membrane Na+ permeability, suggesting that increases in the NSC conductance may be mediated in part through rapid recruitment of a distinct pool of channel-containing vesicles.

Abstract
The parathyroid hormone (PTH) and some of its fragments and analogs stimulate bone growth in various animal models and humans and one of them (hPTH-(1-34)) has been approved by the USFDA for treating osteoporosis. However, there are reports that PTH can stimulate the PI-3 kinase/mitogen-activated protein kinases-mediated proliferation of rat enterocytes and that primary hyperparathyroidism in humans is associated with an increased incidence of colon cancer. Here we have investigated the ability of two PTH fragments, hPTH-(1-34)NH(2) and [Leu(27)]cyclo(Glu(22)-Lys(26))hPTH-(1-31)NH(2) to initiate colon carcinogenesis or increase the initiatory activity of the widely used colon carcinogen azoxymethane (AOM). The initiation of colon carcinogenesis by AOM was indicated by the very early appearance of aberrant crypt foci. While both PTH peptides strongly stimulated femoral bone formation, they did not cause the appearance of ACFs or affect the number or the distribution along the colon of AOM-induced ACFs. Nor did AOM affect the PTHs' ability to stimulate bone formation. Thus, a relatively short PTH treatment that is long enough to strongly stimulate bone formation does not initiate colon carcinogenesis in rats.

Abstract
In previous work, we have demonstrated that rPTH(1-34) increases cytoplasmic calcium concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) in isolated rat enterocytes. In the present study, we have identified the sources of PTH-mediated increase in [Ca(2+)](I) and the implication of Ca(2+) on hormone early signals in enterocytes isolated from young (3-month-old) and aged (24-month-old) rats. In young enterocytes, PTH raised [Ca(2+)](i) in a dose-dependent manner (1 pM-100 nM). In cells from aged rats, hormone concentrations higher than physiological (>/=1 nM) were required to observe significant increases in [Ca(2+)](i). Phospholipase C (PLC) inhibitors blocked the initial acute elevation of the [Ca(2+)](i) biphasic response to PTH of young enterocytes while in old cells, no effects were observed. The voltage-dependent calcium-channel blocker (VDCC), nitrendipine, suppressed PTH-dependent changes of the sustained [Ca(2+)](i) phase in young and aged animals. In this study, we analysed, for the first time, alterations in phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) activity and response to PTH in rat enterocytes with ageing. Basal PI3K activity was significantly modified by ageing. Acute treatment with 10(-8) M PTH increased enzyme activity, with a maximun at 2 min (+3-fold) in young rats and only elevated by less than 1-fold basal PI3K activity in aged animals. Hormone-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of p85alpha, the regulatory subunit of PI3K, as well as the phosphorylation on Thr(308) of its downstream effector Akt/PKB was evident in enterocytes from 3-month-old rats, whereas it was greatly reduced in the cells from 24-month-old animals. Intracellular Ca(2+) chelation (BAPTA-AM, 5 microM) affected the tyrosine phosphorylation of p85alpha and inhibited PTH-dependent PI3K activation by 75% in young rats and completely abolished the enzyme activity in aged animals, demonstrating that Ca(2+) is required for full activation of PI3K in enterocytes stimulated with PTH. The Thr phosphorylation of PI3K downeffector, Akt/PKB, was also fully dependent on Ca(2+). Taken together, these results suggest that PTH regulation of enterocyte [Ca(2+)](i) involves Ca(2+) mobilization from IP(3)-sensitive stores and the influx of the cation from the extracellular milieu, the former pathway being blunted during ageing. The data also indicates a positive role for intracellular calcium in one of the early signals of PTH in rat enterocytes, the activation of PI3K, and that hormone regulation of PI3K activity and Akt/PKB phosphorylation on Thr(308) is impaired with ageing.
