Citrate-Induced p85α⁻PTEN Complex Formation Causes G 2/M Phase Arrest in Human Pharyngeal Squamous Carcinoma Cell Lines. Int J Mol Sci 2019; 20:ijms20092105. [PMID: 31035650 PMCID: PMC6539620 DOI: 10.3390/ijms20092105] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2019] [Revised: 04/20/2019] [Accepted: 04/24/2019] [Indexed: 01/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Citrate is a key intermediate of the tricarboxylic acid cycle and acts as an allosteric signal to regulate the production of cellular ATP. An elevated cytosolic citrate concentration inhibits growth in several types of human cancer cells; however, the underlying mechanism by which citrate induces the growth arrest of cancer cells remains unclear. The results of this study showed that treatment of human pharyngeal squamous carcinoma (PSC) cells with a growth-suppressive concentration of citrate caused cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase. A coimmunoprecipitation study demonstrated that citrate-induced cell cycle arrest in the G2/M phase was associated with stabilizing the formation of cyclin B1-phospho (p)-cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (CDK1) (Thr 161) complexes. The citrate-induced increased levels of cyclin B1 and G2/M phase arrest were suppressed by the caspase-3 inhibitor Ac-DEVD-CMK and caspase-3 cleavage of mutant p21 (D112N). Ectopic expression of the constitutively active form of protein kinase B (Akt1) could overcome the induction of p21 cleavage, cyclin B1-p-CDK1 (Thr 161) complexes, and G2/M phase arrest by citrate. p85α-phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted from chromosome 10 (PTEN) complex-mediated inactivation of Akt was required for citrate-induced G2/M phase cell cycle arrest because PTEN short hairpin RNA or a PTEN inhibitor (SF1670) blocked the suppression of Akt Ser 473 phosphorylation and the induction of cyclin B1-p-CDK1 (Thr 161) complexes and G2/M phase arrest by citrate. In conclusion, citrate induces G2/M phase arrest in PSC cells by inducing the formation of p85α-PTEN complexes to attenuate Akt-mediated signaling, thereby causing the formation of cyclin B1-p-CDK1 (Thr 161) complexes.

Altered neutrophil functions in elderly patients during a 6-month follow-up period after a hip fracture. Exp Gerontol 2015; 65:58-68. [PMID: 25797136 DOI: 10.1016/j.exger.2015.03.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2014] [Revised: 03/16/2015] [Accepted: 03/18/2015] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Fracture of the hip (HF) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in elderly individuals. HF is an acute stress that triggers a state of inflammation which may affect immune responses and physical recovery. METHODS Longitudinal study of the impact of HF on the functions of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) in elderly subjects. Data were recorded prior to surgery, 6weeks and 6months later. RESULTS PMN functions were severely impaired shortly after HF (chemotaxis, phagocytosis, superoxide production) but there was a time-related recovery of some PMN functions (chemotaxis, phagocytosis) over time, except in the case of superoxide production. Whereas FcγRII (CD32) expression remained unchanged, FcγRIII (CD16) increased from low values before surgery to levels of controls 6months post-surgery. This was also the case for the C5a complement receptor and CD11b. TLR2 and TLR4 expressions were unchanged. Cytokine and chemokine secretions by stimulated PMN were altered. TNFα and IL-10 secretions were increased following HF but IL-8 secretion was decreased. Impaired PMN functions prior to surgery were related to alterations in PI3K and NF-κB signaling pathways. Recovery of these functions paralleled increased PI3K activity, although superoxide production remained low. Sustained activation of the NF-κB pathway by TNFα has been reported to involve upregulation of IKKβ kinase activity. Activated IKKβ kinase inhibits ERK1/2 and results in concomitant downstream inhibition of NADPH oxidase complex which can account for sustained impaired production of ROS in HF patients. CONCLUSION Our data showed that the stress caused by HF negatively affects initial PMN responses shortly after the event and that may negatively influence clinical outcomes such as resolving long-term inflammation and recovery, as well as explaining susceptibility to opportunistic infections.

Abstract
Background BMP-induced chemotaxis of mesenchymal progenitors is fundamental for vertebrate development, disease and tissue repair. BMP2 induces Smad and non-Smad signalling. Whereas signal transduction via Smads lead to transcriptional responses, non-Smad signalling induces both, transcriptional and immediate/early non-transcriptional responses. However, the molecular mechanisms by which BMP2 facilitates planar cell polarity, cortical actin rearrangements, lamellipodia formation and chemotaxis of mesenchymal progenitors are poorly understood. Our aim was to uncover the molecular mechanism by which BMP2 facilitates chemotaxis via the BMP2-dependent activation of PI3K and spatiotemporal control of PIP3 production important for actin rearrangements at the mesenchymal cell cytocortex. Results We unveiled the molecular mechanism by which BMP2 induces non-Smad signalling by PI3K and the role of the second messenger PIP3 in BMP2-induced planar cell polarity, cortical actin reorganisation and lamellipodia formation. By using protein interaction studies, we identified the class Ia PI3K regulatory subunit p55γ to act as a specific and non-redundant binding partner for BMP receptor type II (BMPRII) in concert with the catalytic subunit p110α. We mapped the PI3K interaction to a region within the BMPRII kinase. Either BMP2 stimulation or increasing amounts of BMPRI facilitated p55γ association with BMPRII, but BMPRII kinase activity was not required for the interaction. We visualised BMP2-dependent PIP3 production via PI3K p55γ/p110α and were able to localise PIP3 to the leading edge of intact cells during the process of BMP2-induced planar cell polarity and actin dependent lamellipodia formation. Using mass spectrometry, we found the highly PIP3-sensitive PH-domain protein LL5β to act as a novel BMP2 effector in orchestrating cortical actin rearrangements. By use of live cell imaging we found that knock-down of p55γ or LL5β or pharmacological inhibition of PI3K impaired BMP2-induced migratory responses. Conclusions Our results provide evidence for an important contribution of the BMP2-PI3K (p55γ/p110α)- PIP3-LL5β signalling axis in mesenchymal progenitor cell chemotaxis. We demonstrate molecular insights into BMP2-induced PI3K signalling on the level of actin reorganisation at the leading edge cytocortex. These findings are important to better understand BMP2–induced cytoskeletal reorganisation and chemotaxis of mesenchymal progenitors in different physiological or pathophysiological contexts.

Abstract
The p85α protein is best known as the regulatory subunit of class 1A PI3Ks (phosphoinositide 3-kinases) through its interaction, stabilization and repression of p110-PI3K catalytic subunits. PI3Ks play multiple roles in the regulation of cell survival, signalling, proliferation, migration and vesicle trafficking. The present review will focus on p85α, with special emphasis on its important roles in the regulation of PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homologue deleted on chromosome 10) and Rab5 functions. The phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphatase PTEN directly counteracts PI3K signalling through dephosphorylation of PI3K lipid products. Thus the balance of p85α–p110 and p85α–PTEN complexes determines the signalling output of the PI3K/PTEN pathway, and under conditions of reduced p85α levels, the p85α–PTEN complex is selectively reduced, promoting PI3K signalling. Rab5 GTPases are important during the endocytosis, intracellular trafficking and degradation of activated receptor complexes. The p85α protein helps switch off Rab5, and if defective in this p85α function, results in sustained activated receptor tyrosine kinase signalling and cell transformation through disrupted receptor trafficking. The central role for p85α in the regulation of PTEN and Rab5 has widened the scope of p85α functions to include integration of PI3K activation (p110-mediated), deactivation (PTEN-mediated) and receptor trafficking/signalling (Rab5-mediated) functions, all with key roles in maintaining cellular homoeostasis.

Abstract
Aggressive melanoma cells can engage in a process termed vasculogenic mimicry (VM) that reflects the ability of tumor cells to express a multipotent, stem cell-like phenotype. Melanoma cell plasticity contributes to the lack of efficient therapeutic strategies targeting metastatic tumors. This study reveals cyclic AMP as a mediator of VM in vitro. In uveal and cutaneous metastatic aggressive human melanoma cells, an increase in cyclic AMP by forskolin, dibutyryl cyclic AMP, or G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) ligands such as adrenaline and vasoactive intestinal peptide inhibited VM to different extents. Although chemical modulators of protein kinase A (PKA) had no effect, a specific pharmacologic activator of Exchange protein directly activated by cyclic AMP (Epac) impaired VM. Ras-associated protein-1 (Rap1) activation assays revealed that cyclic AMP-elevating agents induce a PKA-independent activation of Epac/Rap1. Pharmacologic inhibition of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) activity abolished VM. Phosphorylation of ERK1/2 was PKA-independently inhibited by forskolin but not inhibited by Epac/Rap1 signaling, PKA modulation, or GPCR ligands. Furthermore, the forskolin also inhibited phosphatidyl inositol-3-kinase (PI3K)-mediated activation of protein kinase Akt, as monitored by Ser473 phosphorylation. The pharmacologic activation of Epac and GPCR ligands slightly stimulated Akt, a likely concomitant process of VM modulation. Collectively, these data show that forskolin strongly inhibits VM through PKA-independent activation of Epac/Rap1, PKA-, and Epac-independent inactivation of ERK1/2 and inhibition of PI3K/Akt. The data also show that VM inhibition by GPCR ligands involves mainly the Epac/Rap1-activated signal. Thus cyclic AMP inhibits VM through multiple signaling pathways.

Abstract
Lovastatin promotes osteoblast differentiation by increasing bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) expression. We demonstrate that lovastatin stimulates tyrosine phosphorylation of the p85 regulatory subunit of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), leading to an increase in its kinase activity in osteoblast cells. Inhibition of PI3K ameliorated expression of the osteogenic markers alkaline phosphatase, type I collagen, osteopontin, and BMP-2. Expression of dominant-negative PI3K and PTEN, an inhibitor of PI3K signaling, significantly attenuated lovastatin-induced transcription of BMP-2. Akt kinase was also activated in a PI3K-dependent manner. However, our data suggest involvement of an additional signaling pathway. Lovastatin-induced Erk1/2 activity contributed to BMP-2 transcription. Inhibition of PI3K abrogated Erk1/2 activity in response to lovastatin, indicating the presence of a signal relay between them. We provide, as a mechanism of this cross-talk, the first evidence that lovastatin stimulates rapid activation of Ras, which associates with and activates PI3K in the plasma membrane, which in turn regulates Akt and Erk1/2 to induce BMP-2 expression for osteoblast differentiation.

Abstract
High NaCl causes DNA double-strand breaks and activates the transcription factor, TonEBP/OREBP, resulting in increased transcription of several protective genes, including those involved in accumulation of compatible organic osmolytes. Several kinases are known to contribute to signaling activation of TonEBP/OREBP, including ATM, which is a member of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)-like kinase family and is activated by DNA double-strand breaks. The purpose of the present studies was to investigate a possible role of PI3K Class IA (PI3K-IA). We found that high NaCl increases PI3K-IA lipid kinase activity. Inhibiting PI3K-IA either by expressing a dominant negative of its regulatory subunit, p85, or by small interfering RNA-mediated knockdown of its catalytic subunit, p110alpha, reduces high NaCl-induced increases in TonEBP/OREBP transcriptional activity and transactivation, but not nuclear translocation of TonEBP/OREBP, or increases in its abundance. Further, suppression of PI3K-IA inhibits the activation of ATM that is caused by either ionizing radiation or high NaCl. High NaCl-induced increase in TonEBP/OREBP activity is reduced equally by inhibition of ATM or PI3K-IA, and the effects are not additive. The conclusions are as follows: (i) PI3K-IA activity is necessary for both high NaCl- and ionizing radiation-induced activation of ATM and (ii) high NaCl activates PI3K-IA, which, in turn, contributes to full activation of TonEBP/OREBP via ATM.

Abstract
IGF-I stimulates smooth muscle cell (SMC) migration and the phosphatidylinositol-3 (PI-3) kinase pathway plays an important role in mediating the IGF-I-induced migratory response. Prior studies have shown that the tyrosine phosphatase Src homology 2 domain tyrosine phosphatase (SHP)-2 is necessary to activate PI-3 kinase in response to growth factors and expression of a phosphatase inactive form of SHP-2 (SHP-2/C459S) impairs IGF-I-stimulated cell migration. However, the mechanism by which SHP-2 phosphatase activity or the recruitment of SHP-2 to other signaling molecules contributes to IGF-I stimulated PI-3 kinase activation has not been determined. SMCs that had stable expression of SHP-2/C459S had reduced cell migration and Akt activation in response to IGF-I, compared with SMC-expressing native SHP-2. Similarly in cells expressing native SHP-2, IGF-I induced SHP-2 binding to p85, whereas in cells expressing SHP-2/C459S, there was no increase. Because the C459S substitution results in loss of the ability of SHP-2 to disassociate from its substrates, making it inaccessible not only to p85 but also the other proteins, a p85 mutant in which tyrosines 528 and 556 were changed to phenylalanines was prepared to determine whether this would disrupt the p85/SHP-2 interaction and whether the loss of this specific interaction would alter IGF-I stimulated the cell migration. Substitution for these tyrosines in p85 resulted in loss of SHP-2 recruitment and was associated with a reduction in association of the p85/p110 complex with insulin receptor substrate-1. Cells stably expressing this p85 mutant also showed a decrease in IGF-I-stimulated PI-3 kinase activity and cell migration. Preincubation of cells with a cell-permeable peptide that contains the tyrosine556 motif of p85 also disrupted SHP-2 binding to p85 and inhibited the IGF-I-induced increase in cell migration. The findings indicate that tyrosines 528 and 556 in p85 are required for SHP-2 association. SHP-2 recruitment to p85 is required for IGF-I-stimulated association of the p85/p110 complex with insulin receptor substrate-1 and for the subsequent activation of the PI-3 kinase pathway leading to increased cell migration.

Abstract
Mast cell tryptase is a potent mitogen for many cells in the airways and lung, but the cellular mechanisms for its growth stimulatory effects are poorly understood. Our major goal was to determine whether tryptase activates phosphatidylinositol 3-kinases (PI 3-kinases) in cultured dog tracheal smooth muscle cells to induce its mitogenic effects. After exposure to tryptase, cells were lysed. Immunocomplexes prepared from the lysates using an antibody to the p85 subunit of PI 3-kinase, but not using anti-phosphotyrosine antibodies, possessed increased capacity to phosphorylate inositol on its D3 hydroxyl group. Tryptase also increased phosphorylation of Akt, a downstream target of PI 3-kinases. This effect was abolished by one PI 3-kinase inhibitor, wortmannin, and attenuated by another, LY-294004, which also blocked tryptase's mitogenic effects. Treatment of tryptase with p-amidino phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride, to abolish its proteolytic activity irreversibly, inhibited its stimulatory effects on Akt phosphorylation. Proteinase-activated receptor-2 (PAR-2)-activating peptides failed to increase Akt phosphorylation in cultured dog tracheal smooth muscle cells, but the PAR-2-activating peptides did induce brisk increases in Akt phosphorylation in Madin-Darby canine kidney cells. We concluded that tryptase activates PI 3-kinases in cultured dog tracheal smooth muscle cells to induce its potent mitogenic effects. These effects of tryptase on PI 3-kinases appear to occur via novel proteolytic mechanisms independent from PAR-2. Also, tryptase, although comparable in mitogenic potency to platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), induces considerably less tyrosine phosphorylation on proteins than occur in response to PDGF.

Abstract
Genistein (4',5,7-trihydroxyisoflavone) is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor. Although the agent has shown to inhibit myoblast differentiation, neither intracellular target(s) as a tyrosine kinase inhibitor nor action mechanism of the agent is well known. Here we studied the effect of genistein on the differentiation of myoblasts. Genistein strongly but reversibly blocked both myoblast fusion and synthesis of the muscle-specific proteins. The agent also reversibly reduced the phosphorylation level of focal adhesion kinase (FAK), a cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase, and its interaction with p85, the regulatory subunit of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3-kinase). In addition, genistein indirectly inhibited PI3-kinase activity and blocked calcium influx which is required for myoblast fusion. However, both genistein-induced inhibition of cell fusion and calcium influx were abrogated by the lipid products of PI3-kinase. These results demonstrate that genistein can exert their effect on the signaling pathway from FAK to calcium influx via PI3-kinase in the differentiation of myoblasts.

Abstract
The hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS5B protein is the viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase required for replication of the HCV RNA genome. We have identified a peptide that most closely resembles a short region of the protein kinase C-related kinase 2 (PRK2) by screening of a random 12-mer peptide library displayed on the surface of the M13 bacteriophage with NS5B proteins immobilized on microwell plates. Competitive phage enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay with a synthetic peptide showed that the phage clone displaying this peptide could bind HCV RNA polymerase with a high affinity. Coimmunoprecipitation and colocalization studies demonstrated in vivo interaction of NS5B with PRK2. In vitro kinase assays demonstrated that PRK2 specifically phosphorylates NS5B by interaction with the N-terminal finger domain of NS5B (amino acids 1-187). Consistent with the in vitro NS5B-phosphorylating activity of PRK2, we detected the phosphorylated form of NS5B by metabolic cell labeling. Furthermore, HCV NS5B immunoprecipitated from HCV subgenomic replicon cells was specifically recognized by an antiphosphoserine antibody. Knock-down of the endogenous PRK2 expression using a PRK2-specific small interfering RNA inhibited HCV RNA replication. In contrast, PRK2 overexpression, which was accompanied by an increase of in the level of its active form, dramatically enhanced HCV RNA replication. Altogether, our results indicate that HCV RNA replication is regulated by NS5B phosphorylation by PRK2.

Abstract
One potentially important mechanism for regulating class Ia phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) activity is autophosphorylation of the p85 alpha adapter subunit on Ser608 by the intrinsic protein kinase activity of the p110 catalytic subunit, as this downregulates the lipid kinase activity in vitro. Here we investigate whether this phosphorylation can occur in vivo. We find that p110 alpha phosphorylates p85 alpha Ser608 in vivo with significant stoichiometry. However, p110 beta is far less efficient at phosphorylating p85 alpha Ser608, identifying a potential difference in the mechanisms by which these two isoforms are regulated. The p85 alpha Ser608 phosphorylation was increased by treatment with insulin, platelet-derived growth factor, and the phosphatase inhibitor okadaic acid. The functional effects of this phosphorylation are highlighted by mutation of Ser608, which results in reduced lipid kinase activity and reduced association of the p110 alpha catalytic subunit with p85 alpha. The importance of this phosphorylation was further highlighted by the finding that autophosphorylation on Ser608 was impaired, while lipid kinase activity was increased, in a p85 alpha mutant recently discovered in human tumors. These results provide the first evidence that phosphorylation of Ser608 plays a role as a shutoff switch in growth factor signaling and contributes to the differences in functional properties of different PI 3-kinase isoforms in vivo.

Abstract
Previous studies from this laboratory have shown that 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitor (HCRI) causes apoptotic cell death of a muscle cell-derived cell line, L6 myoblasts, by involving the phosphatidylinositol-3 (PI-3) kinase pathway and tyrosine phosphorylation of several cellular proteins, although the relationship between PI-3 kinase pathway and tyrosine phosphorylation responses remained to be elucidated. Here, we show that HCRI induces tyrosine phosphorylation of catalytic subunit p110 of PI-3 kinase as early as 5 min after addition of HCRI into culture medium. We could not detect the tyrosine phosphorylation of the regulatory subunit p85 of PI-3 kinase under the present experimental conditions. Concomitantly, the kinase activity toward PI in p110 immunoprecipitates was decreased with a similar time course. Furthermore, both herbimycin A and genistein, potent inhibitors of tyrosine kinase activity, inhibited HCRI-induced inhibition of PI-3 kinase activity as well as HCRI-induced apoptotic cell death. Once the catalytic subunit p110 becomes tyrosine-phosphorylated, the regulatory subunit p85 appears to be dissociated from the catalytic subunit, because we observed a decreasing amount of p85 regulatory subunits in p110 immunoprecipitates in response to HCRI treatment. These results strongly suggest the novel function of tyrosine phosphorylation of catalytic subunit p110 of PI-3 kinase in the regulation of its kinase activity. The tyrosine phosphorylation of these catalytic subunits may play an important role in the intracellular signal transduction of apoptotic cell death. To our knowledge, this is the first report that tyrosine phosphorylation of p110 catalytic subunit acts as a negative regulator of its kinase activity.

Abstract
Phosphoinositide kinases (PI3Ks) play an important role in mitogenic signaling and cell survival, cytoskeletal remodeling, metabolic control and vesicular trafficking. Here we summarize the structure-function relationships delineating the activation process of class I PI3Ks involving various domains of adapter subunits, Ras, and interacting proteins. The resulting product, PtdIns(3,4,5)P3, targets Akt/protein kinase B (PKB), Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk), phosphoinositide-dependent kinases (PDK), integrin-linked kinase (ILK), atypical protein kinases C (PKC), phospholipase Cgamma and more. Surface receptor-activated PI3Ks function in mammals, insects, nematodes and slime mold, but not yeast. While many members of the class II family have been identified and characterized biochemically, it is presently unknown how these C2-domain containing PI3Ks are activated, and which PI substrate they phosphorylate in vivo. PtdIns 3-P is produced by Vps34p/class III PI3Ks and operates via the PtdIns 3-P-binding proteins early endosomal antigen (EEA1), yeast Vac1p, Vps27p, Pip1p in lysosomal protein targeting. Besides the production of D3 phosphorylated lipids, PI3Ks have an intrinsic protein kinase activity. For trimeric GTP-binding protein-activated PI3Kgamma, protein kinase activity seems to be sufficient to trigger mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK). Recent disruption of PI3K genes in slime mold, Caenorhabditis elegans, Drosophila melanogaster and mice further underlines the importance of PI3K signaling systems and elucidates the role of PI3K signaling in multicellular organisms.

Abstract
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) exerts its stimulatory effects on cell growth and motility by binding to two related protein tyrosine kinase receptors. Ligand binding induces receptor dimerization and autophosphorylation, allowing binding and activation of cytoplasmic SH2-domain containing signal transduction molecules. Thereby, a number of different signaling pathways are initiated leading to cell growth, actin reorganization migration and differentiation. Recent observations suggest that extensive cross-talk occurs between different signaling pathways, and that stimulatory signals are modulated by inhibitory signals arising in parallel.

Abstract
Insulin plays a key role in regulating a wide range of cellular processes. However, until recently little was known about the signalling pathways that are involved in linking the insulin receptor with downstream responses. It is now apparent that the activation of class 1a phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) is necessary and in some cases sufficient to elicit many of insulin's effects on glucose and lipid metabolism. The lipid products of PI 3-kinase act as both membrane anchors and allosteric regulators, serving to localize and activate downstream enzymes and their protein substrates. One of the major ways these lipid products of PI 3-kinase act in insulin signalling is by binding to pleckstrin homology (PH) domains of phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase (PDK) and protein kinase B (PKB) and in the process regulating the phosphorylation of PKB by PDK. Using mechanisms such as this, PI 3-kinase is able to act as a molecular switch to regulate the activity of serine/threonine-specific kinase cascades important in mediating insulin's effects on endpoint responses.

Abstract
Interleukin 4 (IL-4) is a potent cytokine produced by T cells and to a lesser extent by tumor-associated natural killer cells, basophils, and mast cells. IL-4 treatment of T cells and macrophages leads to augmentation of their cytotoxic activity. In human B cells, IL-4 is a potent stimulator of Ig class switching from IgM to IgE. The diverse biological responses induced by IL-4 are mediated through a high affinity receptor complex (IL-4R). Although a wealth of information has accumulated regarding IL-4R, the exact mechanisms of IL-4R-mediated signaling pathways in human B cells are not well defined. In an attempt to characterize the IL-4-induced signals in human B cells, we have found that IL-4 treatment induced rapid dephosphorylation of the 85-kDa regulatory subunit of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase. To identify the protein-tyrosine phosphatase involved in the IL-4-mediated dephosphorylation, we performed Western blot analysis using monoclonal antibodies specific to protein-tyrosine phosphatases. Upon IL-4 treatment, SHP-1 was specifically translocated to the cellular membrane fraction. Furthermore, immunoprecipitation studies revealed that SHP-1 could be specifically coimmunoprecipitated with the IL-4R as well as with phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (p85). Collectively, our observations suggest that in addition to protein phosphorylation, protein tyrosine dephosphorylation may play a role in the IL-4-induced signaling pathways.

Abstract
In this study, we demonstrate that stimulation of beta cells with carbachol and glucose causes increased tyrosine phosphorylation of a 125-kDa protein concurrently with increased insulin secretion. The effect was observed in two different insulin-secreting cell lines and in rat pancreatic islets. Tyrosine phosphorylation was largely calcium independent and occurred within 2 min after stimulation of beta cells with glucose and the muscarinic agonist carbachol. In islets, the effect of glucose was greatly diminished by the addition of mannoheptulose, a seven-carbon sugar that inhibits glucokinase, suggesting that glucose metabolism is required for tyrosine phosphorylation of the protein to occur. Neither insulin nor insulin-like growth factor I significantly increased tyrosine phosphorylation of the 125-kDa protein, suggesting that it was not an autocrine effect. Depolarization of beta cells with glyburide or 50 m potassium dramatically increased insulin secretion but had no significant effect on tyrosine phosphorylation. Addition of phorbol ester caused a less than 2-fold increase in tyrosine phosphorylation, whereas the calcium ionophore A23187 had no effect. Among the various fuel secretagogues tested, only -glucose stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation, both alone and in combination with carbachol. Finally, the tyrosine kinase inhibitor AG879 inhibited both tyrosine phosphorylation and insulin secretion in a dose-dependent manner. Taken together, these data demonstrate the presence of a novel signaling pathway in glucose-induced insulin secretion: tyrosine phosphorylation of beta cell p125, which is a proximal step in insulin secretion. Our current working hypothesis is that glucose stimulation of beta cell p125 tyrosine phosphorylation is an essential step for insulin secretion.
