PLCγ1 in dopamine neurons critically regulates striatal dopamine release via VMAT2 and synapsin III. Exp Mol Med 2023; 55:2357-2375. [PMID: 37907739 PMCID: PMC10689754 DOI: 10.1038/s12276-023-01104-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2023] [Revised: 08/05/2023] [Accepted: 08/06/2023] [Indexed: 11/02/2023] Open
Abstract
Dopamine neurons are essential for voluntary movement, reward learning, and motivation, and their dysfunction is closely linked to various psychological and neurodegenerative diseases. Hence, understanding the detailed signaling mechanisms that functionally modulate dopamine neurons is crucial for the development of better therapeutic strategies against dopamine-related disorders. Phospholipase Cγ1 (PLCγ1) is a key enzyme in intracellular signaling that regulates diverse neuronal functions in the brain. It was proposed that PLCγ1 is implicated in the development of dopaminergic neurons, while the physiological function of PLCγ1 remains to be determined. In this study, we investigated the physiological role of PLCγ1, one of the key effector enzymes in intracellular signaling, in regulating dopaminergic function in vivo. We found that cell type-specific deletion of PLCγ1 does not adversely affect the development and cellular morphology of midbrain dopamine neurons but does facilitate dopamine release from dopaminergic axon terminals in the striatum. The enhancement of dopamine release was accompanied by increased colocalization of vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2) at dopaminergic axon terminals. Notably, dopamine neuron-specific knockout of PLCγ1 also led to heightened expression and colocalization of synapsin III, which controls the trafficking of synaptic vesicles. Furthermore, the knockdown of VMAT2 and synapsin III in dopamine neurons resulted in a significant attenuation of dopamine release, while this attenuation was less severe in PLCγ1 cKO mice. Our findings suggest that PLCγ1 in dopamine neurons could critically modulate dopamine release at axon terminals by directly or indirectly interacting with synaptic machinery, including VMAT2 and synapsin III.

Motif-dependent immune co-receptor interactome profiling by photoaffinity chemical proteomics. Cell Chem Biol 2022; 29:1024-1036.e5.

Abstract
Identification of the tyrosine phosphorylation (pY)-dependent interactome of immune co-receptors is crucial for understanding signal pathways involved in immunotherapy. However, identifying the motif-specific interactome for each pY commonly found on these multi-phosphorylated membrane proteins remains challenging. Here, we describe a photoaffinity-based chemical proteomic approach to dissect the motif-specific cytoplasmic interactomes of the critical immune co-receptor CD28. Various full-length CD28 cytoplasmic tails (CD28cyto) with defined pY and selectively replaced photo-methionine were synthesized and applied to explore three pY-motif-dependent CD28cyto interactomes. We identified a stand-alone interaction of phospholipase PLCG1 with the Y191 motif with enhanced affinity for the sequence neighboring the transmembrane domain. Importantly, taking advantage of native top-down mass spectrometry with a 193-nm laser, we discovered the direct association of a previously undefined pY218 motif with the kinase PKCθ through its C2 domain. This synthetic CD28cyto-based photoaffinity proteomic approach is generically applicable to the study of other immune co-receptors with multiple pY sites on their linear cytoplasmic tail.

Abstract
Phospholipase C γ1 (PLCγ1) is a member of the PLC family that functions as signal transducer by hydrolyzing membrane lipid to generate second messengers. The unique protein structure of PLCγ1 confers a critical role as a direct effector of VEGFR2 and signaling mediated by other receptor tyrosine kinases. The distinct vascular phenotypes in PLCγ1-deficient animal models and the gain-of-function mutations of PLCγ1 found in human endothelial cancers point to a major physiological role of PLCγ1 in the endothelial system. In this review, we discuss aspects of physiological and molecular function centering around PLCγ1 in the context of endothelial cells and provide a perspective for future investigation.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is among the most lethal and prevalent malignancies in the world and was responsible for nearly 881,000 cancer-related deaths in 2018. Surgery and chemotherapy have long been the first choices for cancer patients. However, the prognosis of CRC has never been satisfying, especially for patients with metastatic lesions. Targeted therapy is a new optional approach that has successfully prolonged overall survival for CRC patients. Following successes with the anti-EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor) agent cetuximab and the anti-angiogenesis agent bevacizumab, new agents blocking different critical pathways as well as immune checkpoints are emerging at an unprecedented rate. Guidelines worldwide are currently updating the recommended targeted drugs on the basis of the increasing number of high-quality clinical trials. This review provides an overview of existing CRC-targeted agents and their underlying mechanisms, as well as a discussion of their limitations and future trends.

Abstract
Host cytosolic proteins are endocytosed by Toxoplasma gondii and degraded in its lysosome-like compartment, the vacuolar compartment (VAC), but the dynamics and route of endocytic trafficking remain undefined. Conserved endocytic components and plant-like features suggest T. gondii endocytic trafficking involves transit through early and late endosome-like compartments (ELCs) and potentially the trans-Golgi network (TGN) as in plants. However, exocytic trafficking to regulated secretory organelles, micronemes and rhoptries, also proceeds through ELCs and requires classical endocytic components, including a dynamin-related protein, DrpB. Here, we show that host cytosolic proteins are endocytosed within 7 minutes post-invasion, trafficked through ELCs en route to the VAC, and degraded within 30 minutes. We could not definitively interpret if ingested protein is trafficked through the TGN. We also found that parasites ingest material from the host cytosol throughout the parasite cell cycle. Ingested host proteins colocalize with immature microneme proteins, proM2AP and proMIC5, in transit to the micronemes, but not with the immature rhoptry protein proRON4, indicating that endocytic trafficking of ingested protein intersects with exocytic trafficking of microneme proteins. Finally, we show that conditional expression of a DrpB dominant negative mutant increases T. gondii ingestion of host-derived proteins, suggesting that DrpB is not required for parasite endocytosis.

Selective regulation of clathrin-mediated epidermal growth factor receptor signaling and endocytosis by phospholipase C and calcium. Mol Biol Cell 2017; 28:2802-2818. [PMID: 28814502 PMCID: PMC5638584 DOI: 10.1091/mbc.e16-12-0871] [Citation(s) in RCA: 28] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2016] [Revised: 07/10/2017] [Accepted: 08/09/2017] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Clathrin-mediated endocytosis is a major regulator of cell-surface protein internalization. Clathrin and other proteins assemble into small invaginating structures at the plasma membrane termed clathrin-coated pits (CCPs) that mediate vesicle formation. In addition, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling is regulated by its accumulation within CCPs. Given the diversity of proteins regulated by clathrin-mediated endocytosis, how this process may distinctly regulate specific receptors is a key question. We examined the selective regulation of clathrin-dependent EGFR signaling and endocytosis. We find that perturbations of phospholipase Cγ1 (PLCγ1), Ca2+, or protein kinase C (PKC) impair clathrin-mediated endocytosis of EGFR, the formation of CCPs harboring EGFR, and EGFR signaling. Each of these manipulations was without effect on the clathrin-mediated endocytosis of transferrin receptor (TfR). EGFR and TfR were recruited to largely distinct clathrin structures. In addition to control of initiation and assembly of CCPs, EGF stimulation also elicited a Ca2+- and PKC-dependent reduction in synaptojanin1 recruitment to clathrin structures, indicating broad control of CCP assembly by Ca2+ signals. Hence EGFR elicits PLCγ1-calcium signals to facilitate formation of a subset of CCPs, thus modulating its own signaling and endocytosis. This provides evidence for the versatility of CCPs to control diverse cellular processes.

Abstract
The ErbB receptor family, also known as the EGF receptor family or type I receptor family, includes the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor (EGFR) or ErbB1/Her1, ErbB2/Her2, ErbB3/Her3, and ErbB4/Her4. Among all RTKs, EGFR was the first RTK identified and the first one linked to cancer. Thus, EGFR has also been the most intensively studied among all RTKs. ErbB receptors are activated after homodimerization or heterodimerization. The ErbB family is unique among the various groups of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) in that ErbB3 has impaired kinase activity, while ErbB2 does not have a direct ligand. Therefore, heterodimerization is an important mechanism that allows the activation of all ErbB receptors in response to ligand stimulation. The activated ErbB receptors bind to many signaling proteins and stimulate the activation of many signaling pathways. The specificity and potency of intracellular signaling pathways are determined by positive and negative regulators, the specific composition of activating ligand(s), receptor dimer components, and the diverse range of proteins that associate with the tyrosine phosphorylated C-terminal domain of the ErbB receptors. ErbB receptors are overexpressed or mutated in many cancers, especially in breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and non-small cell lung cancer. The overexpression and overactivation of ErbB receptors are correlated with poor prognosis, drug resistance, cancer metastasis, and lower survival rate. ErbB receptors, especially EGFR and ErbB2 have been the primary choices as targets for developing cancer therapies.

Abstract
Phospholipase D (PLD) is one of the key enzymes to mediate a variety of cellular phenomena including endocytosis, actin rearrangement, proliferation, differentiation, and migration. Dynamin as a PLD-interacting partner is a large GTP binding protein that has been considered a mechanochemical enzyme involved in endocytosis by hydrolyzing GTP. Although both PLD and dynamin have been implicated in the regulation of actin cytoskeleton, it is not known how they have a link to regulate fibronectin (FN)-induced cell spreading. Furthermore, it is unknown whether dynamin can work as a GTP-dependent regulator through its interaction with other proteins. Here, we demonstrate that PLD can be regulated by dynamin in a GTP-dependent manner and that this is critical for FN-mediated cell spreading. First, we verified that GTP-loaded dynamin can mediate the cell spreading by FN by using dynamin's GTP binding deficient mutant (K44A). Also, we confirmed that blocking the PLD activity inhibited FN-induced cell spreading, not cell adhesion. Moreover, PLD interacted with dynamin in a GTP-dependent manner in FN signaling, and this interaction was crucial for FN-induced PLD activation and cell spreading. Also, we found that PLD mutant (R128K) that didn't have GAP activity increased the GTP-dependent interaction between PLD and dynamin; it also increased PLD activity and cell spreading. These findings suggest that the observed increase in PLD activity was through boosting the binding of PLD with dynamin and it facilitated FN-induced cell spreading. These results imply that GTP-loaded dynamin, like a small GTPase could mediate a "switch on" signaling via interaction with PLD that has a role as an effector.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Approximately 30% of autogenous vein grafts develop luminal narrowing and fail because of intimal hyperplasia or negative remodeling. We previously found that vein graft cells from patients who later develop stenosis proliferate more in vitro in response to growth factors than cells from patients who maintain patent grafts. To discover novel determinants of vein graft outcome, we have analyzed gene expression profiles of these cells using a systems biology approach to cluster the genes into modules by their coexpression patterns and to correlate the results with growth data from our prior study and with new studies of migration and matrix remodeling. METHODS RNA from 4-hour serum- or platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-BB-stimulated human saphenous vein cells obtained from the outer vein wall (20 cell lines) was used for microarray analysis of gene expression, followed by weighted gene coexpression network analysis. Cell migration in microchemotaxis chambers in response to PDGF-BB and cell-mediated collagen gel contraction in response to serum were also determined. Gene function was determined using short-interfering RNA to inhibit gene expression before subjecting cells to growth or collagen gel contraction assays. These cells were derived from samples of the vein grafts obtained at surgery, and the long-term fate of these bypass grafts was known. RESULTS Neither migration nor cell-mediated collagen gel contraction showed a correlation with graft outcome. Although 1188 and 1340 genes were differentially expressed in response to treatment with serum and PDGF, respectively, no single gene was differentially expressed in cells isolated from patients whose grafts stenosed compared with those that remained patent. Network analysis revealed four unique groups of genes, which we term modules, associated with PDGF responses, and 20 unique modules associated with serum responses. The "yellow" and "skyblue" modules, from PDGF and serum analyses, respectively, correlated with later graft stenosis (P = .005 and P = .02, respectively). In response to PDGF, yellow was also associated with increased cell growth. For serum, skyblue was also associated with inhibition of collagen gel contraction. The hub genes for yellow and skyblue (ie, the gene most connected to other genes in the module), scavenger receptor class A member 5 (SCARA5) and suprabasin (SBSN), respectively, were tested for effects on proliferation and collagen contraction. Knockdown of SCARA5 increased proliferation by 29.9% ± 7.8% (P < .01), whereas knockdown of SBSN had no effect. Knockdown of SBSN increased collagen gel contraction by 24.2% ± 8.6% (P < .05), whereas knockdown of SCARA5 had no effect. CONCLUSIONS Using weighted gene coexpression network analysis of cultured vein graft cell gene expression, we have discovered two small gene modules, which comprise 42 genes, that are associated with vein graft failure. Further experiments are needed to delineate the venous cells that express these genes in vivo and the roles these genes play in vein graft healing, starting with the module hub genes SCARA5 and SBSN, which have been shown to have modest effects on cell proliferation or collagen gel contraction.

Abstract
Evidence accumulated over the past 20 years has highlighted the presence of an autonomous nuclear inositol lipid metabolism, and suggests that lipid signalling molecules are important components of signalling pathways operating within the nucleus. Nuclear polyphosphoinositide (PI) signalling relies on the synthesis and metabolism of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate, which can modulate the activity of effector proteins and is a substrate of signalling enzymes. The regulation of the nuclear PI pool is totally independent from the plasma membrane counterpart, suggesting that the nucleus constitutes a functionally distinct compartment of inositol lipids metabolism. Among the nuclear enzymes involved in PI metabolism, inositide specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) has been one of the most extensively studied. Several isoforms of PI-PLCs have been identified in the nucleus, namely PI-PLC-β1, γ1, δ1 and ζ; however, the β1 isozyme is the best characterized. In the present review, we focus on the signal transduction-related metabolism of nuclear PI-PLC and review the most convincing evidence for PI-PLC expression and activity being involved in differentiation and proliferation programmes in several cell systems. Moreover, nuclear PI-PLC is an intermediate effector and interactor for nuclear inositide signalling. The inositide cycle exists and shows a biological role inside the nucleus. It is an autonomous lipid-dependent signalling system, independently regulated with respect to the one at the plasma membrane counterpart, and is involved in cell cycle progression and differentiation.

Abstract
Small GTPases like Rac2 are crucial regulators of many cell functions central to life itself. Our laboratory has recently found that phospholipase D2 (PLD2) can act as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) for Rac2. PLD2 has a Pleckstrin Homology (PH) domain but does not bear a Dbl homology (DH) or DOCK homology region (DHR) domain. It has, however, a Phox (PX) domain upstream of its PH domain. To better understand the novel finding of PLD2 as an enhancer of GDP/GTP exchange, we modeled the N-terminal portion of PLD2 (as the crystal structure of this protein has not as of yet been resolved), and studied the correlation with two known GEFs, SWAP-70 and the Leukemic Associated RhoGEF (LARG). Structural similarities between PLD2's PH and SWAP-70s or LARG's PH domain are very extensive, while similarities between PLD2's PX and SWAP-70s or LARG's DH domains are less evident. This indicates that PLD functions as a GEF utilizing its PH domain and part of its PX domain and possibly other regions. All this makes PLD unique, and an entirely new class of GEF. By bearing two enzymatic activities (break down of PC and GDP/GTP exchange), it is realistic to assume that PLD is an important signaling node for several intracellular pathways. Future experiments will ascertain how the newly described PLD2's GEF is regulated in the context of cell activation.

Abstract
PLD2 plays a key role in cell membrane lipid reorganization and as a key cell signaling protein in leukocyte chemotaxis and phagocytosis. Adding to the large role for a lipase in cellular functions, recently, our lab has identified a PLD2-Rac2 binding through two CRIB domains in PLD2 and has defined PLD2 as having a new function, that of a GEF for Rac2. PLD2 joins other major GEFs, such as P-Rex1 and Vav, which operate mainly in leukocytes. We explain the biochemical and cellular implications of a lipase-GEF duality. Under normal conditions, GEFs are not constitutively active; instead, their activation is highly regulated. Activation of PLD2 leads to its localization at the plasma membrane, where it can access its substrate GTPases. We propose that PLD2 can act as a "scaffold" protein to increase efficiency of signaling and compartmentalization at a phagocytic cup or the leading edge of a leukocyte lamellipodium. This new concept will help our understanding of leukocyte crucial functions, such as cell migration and adhesion, and how their deregulation impacts chronic inflammation.

Abstract
Phospholipase C-gamma1 (PLC-gamma1) is a multiple-domain protein and plays an important role in epidermal growth factor (EGF)-induced cell mitogenesis, but the underlying mechanism is unclear. We have previously demonstrated that PLC-gamma1 is required for EGF-induced mitogenesis of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) cells, but the mitogenic function of PLC-gamma1 is independent of its lipase activity. Earlier studies suggest that the Src homology 3 (SH3) domain of PLC-gamma1 possesses mitogenic activity. In the present study, we sought to determine the role of the SH3 domain of PLC-gamma1 in EGF-induced SCC cell mitogenesis. We examined the effect of overexpression of PLC-gamma1, a catalytically active PLC-gamma1 mutant lacking the SH3 domain or a catalytically inactive PLC-gamma1 mutant lacking the X domain on EGF-induced SCC4 (tongue squamous cell carcinoma) cell mitogenesis. We found that overexpression of PLC-gamma1 enhanced EGF-induced SCC4 cell mitogenesis. This enhancement was abolished by deletion of the SH3 domain but not by deletion of the X catalytic domain. These data suggest that the SH3 domain, but not the catalytic domain, is required for PLC-gamma1 to mediate EGF-induced SCC4 cell mitogenesis.

Abstract
Background A stochastic simulator was implemented to study EGFR signal initiation in 3D with single molecule detail. The model considers previously unexplored contributions to receptor-adaptor coupling, such as receptor clustering and diffusive properties of both receptors and binding partners. The agent-based and rule-based approach permits consideration of combinatorial complexity, a problem associated with multiple phosphorylation sites and the potential for simultaneous binding of adaptors. Results The model was used to simulate recruitment of four different signaling molecules (Grb2, PLCγ1, Stat5, Shc) to the phosphorylated EGFR tail, with rules based on coarse-grained prediction of spatial constraints. Parameters were derived in part from quantitative immunoblotting, immunoprecipitation and electron microscopy data. Results demonstrate that receptor clustering increases the efficiency of individual adaptor retainment on activated EGFR, an effect that is overridden if crowding is imposed by receptor overexpression. Simultaneous docking of multiple proteins is highly dependent on receptor-adaptor stability and independent of clustering. Conclusions Overall, we propose that receptor density, reaction kinetics and membrane spatial organization all contribute to signaling efficiency and influence the carcinogenesis process.

Phospholipase C-gamma1 is involved in signaling the activation by high NaCl of the osmoprotective transcription factor TonEBP/OREBP. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2009; 107:906-11.

Abstract
High NaCl elevates activity of the osmoprotective transcription factor TonEBP/OREBP by increasing its phosphorylation, transactivating activity, and localization to the nucleus. We investigated the possible role in this activation of phospholipase C-gamma1 (PLC-gamma1), which has a predicted binding site at TonEBP/OREBP-phospho-Y143. We find the following. (i) Activation of TonEBP/OREBP transcriptional activity by high NaCl is reduced in PLC-gamma1 null cells and in HEK293 cells in which PLC-gamma1 is knocked down by a specific siRNA. (ii) High NaCl increases phosphorylation of TonEBP/OREBP at Y143. (iii) Wild-type PLC-gamma1 coimmunoprecipitates with wild-type TonEBP/OREBP but not TonEBP/OREBP-Y143A, and the coimmunoprecipitation is increased by high NaCl. (iv) PLC-gamma1 is part of the protein complex that associates with TonEBP/OREBP at its DNA binding site. (v) Knockdown of PLC-gamma1 or overexpression of a PLC-gamma1-SH3 deletion mutant reduces high NaCl-dependent TonEBP/OREBP transactivating activity. (vi) Nuclear localization of PLC-gamma1 is increased by high NaCl. (vii) High NaCl-induced nuclear localization of TonEBP/OREBP is reduced if cells lack PLC-gamma1, if PLC-gamma1 mutated in its SH2C domain is overexpressed, or if Y143 in TonEBP/OREBP is mutated to alanine. (viii) Expression of recombinant PLC-gamma1 restores nuclear localization of wild-type TonEBP/OREBP in PLC-gamma1 null cells but not of TonEBP/OREBP-Y143A. (ix) The PLC-gamma1 phospholipase inhibitor U72133 inhibits nuclear localization of TonEBP/OREBP but not the increase of its transactivating activity. We conclude that, when NaCl is elevated, TonEBP/OREBP becomes phosphorylated at Y143, resulting in binding of PLC-gamma1 to that site, which contributes to TonEBP/OREBP transcriptional activity, transactivating activity, and nuclear localization.

Semaphorin 4D signaling requires the recruitment of phospholipase C gamma into the plexin-B1 receptor complex. Mol Cell Biol 2009; 29:6321-34.

Abstract
The semaphorin 4D (Sema4D) receptor plexin-B1 constitutively interacts with particular Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factors (RhoGEFs) and thereby mediates Sema4D-induced RhoA activation, a process which involves the tyrosine phosphorylation of plexin-B1 by ErbB-2. It is, however, unknown how plexin-B1 phosphorylation regulates RhoGEF activity. We show here that activation of plexin-B1 by Sema4D and its subsequent tyrosine phosphorylation creates docking sites for the SH2 domains of phospholipase Cgamma (PLCgamma). PLCgamma is thereby recruited into the plexin-B1 receptor complex and via its SH3 domain activates the Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factor PDZ-RhoGEF. PLCgamma-dependent RhoGEF activation is independent of its lipase activity. The recruitment of PLCgamma has no effect on the R-Ras GTPase-activating protein activity of plexin-B1 but is required for Sema4D-induced axonal growth cone collapse as well as for the promigratory effects of Sema4D on cancer cells. These data demonstrate a novel nonenzymatic function of PLCgamma as an important mechanism of plexin-mediated signaling which links tyrosine phosphorylation of plexin-B1 to the regulation of a RhoGEF protein and downstream cellular processes.

Abstract
The intestinal electroneutral Na(+) absorptive processes account for most small intestinal Na(+) absorption in the period between meals and also for the great majority of the increase in ileal Na(+) absorption that occurs postprandially. In most diarrheal diseases, there is inhibition of neutral NaCl absorption. Elevated levels of intracellular calcium ([Ca(2+)](i)) are known to inhibit NaCl absorption and involve multiple components of the Ca(2+) signaling pathway. The BB Na(+)/H(+) exchanger NHE3 accounts for most of the recognized digestive changes in neutral NaCl absorption, as well as most of the changes in Na(+) absorption that occur in diarrheal diseases. Previous studies have examined several aspects of Ca(2+) regulation of NHE3 activity. These include phosphorylation, protein trafficking, and multiprotein complex formation. In addition, recent studies have demonstrated the role of the NHERF family of PDZ domain-containing proteins in Ca(2+) regulation of NHE3 activity, thereby adding a new level of complexity to understanding Ca(2+)-dependent inhibition of Na(+) absorption. In this article, we will review the current understanding of (1) Ca(2+) signaling events in intestinal epithelial cells; (2) Ca(2+) regulation of intestinal electroneutral sodium absorption, which includes NHE3; and (3) the role of the NHERF family of PDZ domain-containing proteins in Ca(2+) regulation of NHE3 activity. We will also present new data on using advanced imaging showing rapid BB NHE3 endocytosis in response to elevated [Ca(2+)](i).

Abstract
Glomerular matrix accumulation is a hallmark of diabetic nephropathy. We have recently shown that epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) transactivation mediates high glucose (HG)-induced collagen I upregulation through PI3K-PKCbeta1-Akt signaling in mesangial cells (MC). Phospholipase Cgamma1 (PLCgamma1) interacts with activated growth factor receptors and activates classic PKC isoforms. We thus studied its role in HG-induced collagen I upregulation in MC. Primary rat MC were treated with HG (30 mM) or mannitol as osmotic control. Protein kinase activation was assessed by Western blotting and collagen I upregulation by Northern blotting. Diabetes was induced in rats by streptozotocin. HG treatment for 1 h led to PLCgamma1 membrane translocation and Y783 phosphorylation, both indicative of its activation. Mannitol was without effect. PLCgamma1 Y783 phosphorylation was also seen in cortex and glomeruli of diabetic rats. HG induced a physical association between EGFR and PLCgamma1 as identified by coimmunoprecipitation. PLCgamma1 activation required EGFR kinase activity since it was prevented by the EGFR inhibitor AG1478 or overexpression of kinase-inactive EGFR (K721A). Phosphoinositide-3-OH kinase inhibition also prevented PLCgamma1 activation. HG-induced Akt S473 phosphorylation, effected by PKCbeta1, was inhibited by the PLCgamma inhibitor U73122. PLCgamma1 inhibition or downregulation by small interference RNA also prevented HG-induced collagen I upregulation. Our results indicate that EGFR-PLCgamma1 signaling mediates HG-induced PKCbeta1-Akt activation and subsequent collagen I upregulation in MC. Inhibition of EGFR or PLCgamma1 may provide attractive therapeutic targets for the treatment of diabetic nephropathy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) and their target Rho GTPases regulate cytoskeletal changes and membrane trafficking. Dynamin, a large force-generating GTPase, plays an essential role in membrane tubulation and fission in cells. Kalirin12, a neuronal RhoGEF, is found in growth cones early in development and in dendritic spines later in development. RESULTS The IgFn domain of Kalirin12, not present in other Kalirin isoforms, binds dynamin1 and dynamin2. An inactivating mutation in the GTPase domain of dynamin diminishes this interaction and the isolated GTPase domain of dynamin retains the ability to bind Kalirin12. Co-immunoprecipitation demonstrates an interaction of Kalirin12 and dynamin2 in embryonic brain. Purified recombinant Kalirin-IgFn domain inhibits the ability of purified rat brain dynamin to oligomerize in response to the presence of liposomes containing phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate. Consistent with this, expression of exogenous Kalirin12 or its IgFn domain in PC12 cells disrupts clathrin-mediated transferrin endocytosis. Similarly, expression of exogenous Kalirin12 disrupts transferrin endocytosis in cortical neurons. Expression of Kalirin7, a shorter isoform which lacks the IgFn domain, was previously shown to inhibit clathrin-mediated endocytosis; the GTPase domain of dynamin does not interact with Kalirin7. CONCLUSION Kalirin12 may play a role in coordinating Rho GTPase-mediated changes in the actin cytoskeleton with dynamin-mediated changes in membrane trafficking.

Abstract
Multiple studies suggest that phospholipase C-gamma (PLC-gamma) contributes to regulation of sodium/hydrogen exchanger 3 (NHE3) in the small intestine, although the mechanism(s) for this regulation remain unknown. We demonstrate here that PLC-gamma binds directly to the C terminus of NHE3 and exists in similar sized multiprotein complexes as NHE3. This binding is dynamic and decreases with elevated [Ca(2+)](i). The PLC-gamma-binding site in NHE3 was identified (amino acids 586-605) and shown to be a critical regulatory domain for protein complex formation, because when it is mutated, NHE3 binding to PLC-gamma as well as NHERF2 is lost. An inhibitory peptide, which binds to the Src homology 2 domains contained in PLC-gamma without interrupting binding of PLC-gamma to NHE3, was used to probe a non-lipase-dependent role of PLC-gamma. In the presence of this peptide, carbachol-stimulated calcium inhibition of NHE3 was lost. These results mirror previous studies with the transient receptor potential channel and suggest that PLC-gamma may play a common role in regulating the cell-surface expression of ion transporters.

Abstract
It is well established that epidermal growth factor (EGF) induces the cytoskeleton reorganization and cell migration through two major signaling cascades: phospholipase C-gamma1 (PLC-gamma1) and Rho GTPases. However, little is known about the cross talk between PLC-gamma1 and Rho GTPases. Here we showed that PLC-gamma1 forms a complex with Rac1 in response to EGF. This interaction is direct and mediated by PLC-gamma1 Src homology 3 (SH3) domain and Rac1 (106)PNTP(109) motif. This interaction is critical for EGF-induced Rac1 activation in vivo, and PLC-gamma1 SH3 domain is actually a potent and specific Rac1 guanine nucleotide exchange factor in vitro. We have also demonstrated that the interaction between PLC-gamma1 SH3 domain and Rac1 play a significant role in EGF-induced F-actin formation and cell migration. We conclude that PLC-gamma1 and Rac1 coregulate EGF-induced cell cytoskeleton remodeling and cell migration by a direct functional interaction.

Abstract
CAP (c-Cbl associated protein)/ponsin belongs to a family of adaptor proteins implicated in cell adhesion and signaling. Here we show that CAP binds to and co-localizes with the essential endocytic factor dynamin. We demonstrate that CAP promotes the formation of dynamin-decorated tubule like structures, which are also coated with actin filaments. Accordingly, we found that the expression of CAP leads to the inhibition of dynamin-mediated endocytosis and increases EGFR stability. Thus, we suggest that CAP may coordinate the function of dynamin with the regulation of the actin cytoskeleton during endocytosis.

Abstract
The down-regulation of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor is critical for the termination of EGF-dependent signaling, and the dysregulation of this process can lead to oncogenesis. In the present study, we suggest a novel mechanism for the regulation of EGF receptor down-regulation by phospholipase C-epsilon. The overexpression of PLC-epsilon led to an increase in receptor recycling and decreased the down-regulation of the EGF receptor in COS-7 cells. Adaptor protein complex 2 (AP2) was identified as a novel binding protein that associates with the PLC-epsilon RA2 domain independently of Ras. The interaction of PLC-epsilon with AP2 was responsible for the suppression of EGF receptor down-regulation, since a perturbation in this interaction abolished this effect. Enhanced EGF receptor stability by PLC-epsilon led to the potentiation of EGF-dependent growth in COS-7 cells. Finally, the knockdown of PLC-epsilon in mouse embryo fibroblast cells elicited a severe defect in EGF-dependent growth. Our results indicated that PLC-epsilon could promote EGF-dependent cell growth by suppressing receptor down-regulation.

Abstract
The leukocyte CD33-related sialic acid-binding Ig-like lectins (Siglecs) are implicated in glycan recognition and host defense against and pathogenicity of sialylated pathogens. Recent studies have shown endocytosis by CD33-related Siglecs, which is implicated in clearance of sialylated antigens and antigen presentation and makes targeted immunotherapy possible. Using CD33 as a paradigm, we have now investigated the reasons underlying the comparatively slow rate of endocytosis of these receptors. We show that endocytosis is largely limited and determined by the intracellular domain while the extracellular and transmembrane domains play a minor role. Tyrosine phosphorylation, most likely through Src family kinases, increases uptake of CD33 depending on the integrity of the two cytoplasmic immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motifs (ITIMs). Simultaneous depletion of the protein tyrosine phosphatases, Src homology-2-containing tyrosine phosphatase 1 (Shp1) and Shp2, which bind to phosphorylated CD33, increases internalization of CD33 slightly in some cell lines, whereas depletion of spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk) has no effect, implying that Shp1 and Shp2 can dephosphorylate the ITIMs or mask binding of the phosphorylated ITIMs to an endocytic adaptor. Our studies show that restraint of CD33 internalization through the intracellular domain is relieved partly when the ITIMs are phosphorylated and show that Shp1 and Shp2 can modulate this process.

Abstract
Most studies regarding the role of epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor (EGFR) C-terminal domain in EGFR internalization are done in the context of EGFR kinase activation. We recently showed that EGF-induced EGFR internalization is directly controlled by receptor dimerization, rather than kinase activation. Here we studied the role of EGFR C-terminus in EGF-induced EGFR internalization with or without EGFR kinase activation. We showed that graduate truncation of EGFR from C-terminus to 1044 did not affect EGF-induced EGFR endocytosis with or without kinase activation. However, truncation to 991 or further completely inhibited EGFR endocytosis. Graduate truncation within 991-1044 progressively lower EGF-induced EGFR endocytosis with most significant effects observed for residues 1005-1017. The endocytosis patterns of mutant EGFRs are independent of EGFR kinase activation. The residues 1005-1017 were also required for EGFR internalization triggered by non-ligand-induced receptor dimerization. This indicates that residues 1005-1017 function as an internalization motif, rather than a dimerization motif, to mediate EGFR internalization. Furthermore, we showed that the di-leucine motif 1010LL1011 within this region is essential in mediating EGF-induced rapid EGFR internalization independent of kinase activation. We conclude that EGFR C-terminal sequences 1005-1017 and the 1010LL1011 motif are essential for EGF-induced EGFR endoytosis independent of EGFR kinase activation and autophosphorylation.

Abstract
Alterations in neurotrophic signaling pathways may contribute to the changes in the mesolimbic dopamine system induced by chronic morphine exposure. In a rat model of morphine dependence, we previously identified increased levels of phospholipase C gamma-1 (PLCgamma1) immunoreactivity specifically within the ventral tegmental area (VTA) following chronic morphine treatment. Using an antibody specific for the tyrosine-phosphorylated, activated form of PLCgamma1, we now show that chronic morphine also significantly upregulates PLCgamma1 activity in the VTA, as well as in the nucleus accumbens and hippocampus, regions which are also implicated in the reinforcing properties of morphine. In contrast, no increase in PLCgamma1 activity was found in the substantia nigra or dorsal striatum. HSV-mediated overexpression of PLCgamma1 in PC12 cells induced ERK activation via a mechanism dependent, in part, on both MAP-ERK kinase (MEK) and protein kinase C. PLCgamma1 overexpression in the VTA similarly induced ERK activation in the VTA in vivo. As chronic morphine treatment has been shown to increase ERK activity within the VTA, the current results suggest that increased PLCgamma1 activity may be an upstream mediator of this effect.

Abstract
Growth hormone binds to its membrane receptor (GHR), whereby it regulates many cellular functions, including proliferation, differentiation and chemotaxis. However, although the activation of growth hormone-mediated signalling is well understood, the precise mechanism responsible for its regulation has not been elucidated. Here, we demonstrate that phospholipase Cgamma1 (PLCgamma1) modulates the action of growth hormone-mediated signalling by interacting with tyrosine kinase Jak2 (janus kinase 2) in a growth hormone-dependent manner. In the absence of PLCgamma1 (PLCgamma1(-/-)), growth hormone-induced JAK2 and STAT5 phosphorylation significantly increased in mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs). Furthermore, the re-expression of PLCgamma1 reduced growth hormone-induced Jak2 activation. Growth hormone-induced Jak2 phosphorylation was enhanced by siRNA-specific knockdown of PLCgamma1. Interestingly, PLCgamma1 physically linked Jak2 and protein tyrosine phosphatase-1B (PTP-1B) by binding to both using different domains, and this process was implicated in the modulation of cytokine signalling through Jak2. In addition, in PLCgamma1(-/-) MEFs, growth hormone-dependent c-Fos activation was upregulated and growth hormone-induced proliferation was potentiated. These results suggest that PLCgamma1 has a key function in the regulation of growth hormone-mediated signalling by negatively regulating Jak2 activation.

Abstract
The nuclear GTPase PIKE (PI 3-kinase Enhancer) binds PI 3-kinase and enhances it lipid kinase activity. PIKE predominantly distributes in the brain, and nerve growth factor stimulation triggers PIKE activation by provoking nuclear translocation of PLC-gamma1, which acts as a physiologic guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) for PIKE through its SH3 domain. PIKE contains GTPase and ArfGAP domains, which are separated by a PH domain. C-terminal ArfGAP domain activates its internal GTPase activity, and this process is regulated by the interaction between phosphatidylinositols and PH domain. PI 3-kinase occurs in the nuclei of a broad range of cell types, and various stimuli elicit its nuclear translocation. The nuclei from NGF-treated PC12 cells are resistant to DNA fragmentation initiated by activated cell-free apoptosome, for which PIKE/nuclear PI 3-kinase signaling through nuclear PI(3,4,5)P(3) and Akt plays an essential role. As a nuclear receptor for PI(3,4,5)P(3,) B23 binds to PI(3,4,5)P(3) in an NGF-dependent way. The PI(3,4,5)P(3)/B23 complex inhibits DNA fragmentation activity of CAD. Nuclear Akt regulation of apoptosis is dependent on its phosphorylation of key substrates in the nucleus, but the identities of these substrates are unknown. Identification of its nuclear substrates will further our understanding of the physiological roles of nuclear PI 3-kinase/Akt signaling.

Abstract
Both phospholipase (PL) C-gamma1 and Akt (protein kinase B; PKB) are signaling proteins that play significant roles in the intracellular signaling mechanism used by receptor tyrosine kinases, including epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor (EGFR). EGFR activates PLC-gamma1 directly and activates Akt indirectly through phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K). Many studies have shown that the PLC-gamma1 pathway and PI3K-Akt pathway interact with each other. However, it is not known whether PLC-gamma1 binds to Akt directly. In this communication, we identified a novel interaction between PLC-gamma1 and Akt. We demonstrated that the interaction is mediated by the binding of PLC-gamma1 Src homology (SH) 3 domain to Akt proline-rich motifs. We also provide a novel model to depict how the interaction between PLC-gamma1 SH3 domain and Akt proline-rich motifs is dependent on EGF stimulation. In this model, phosphorylation of PLC-gamma1 Y783 by EGF causes the conformational change of PLC-gamma1 to allow the interaction of its SH3 domain with Akt proline-rich motifs. Furthermore, we showed that the interaction between PLC-gamma1 and Akt resulted in the phosphorylation of PLC-gamma1 S1248 by Akt. Finally, we showed that the interaction between PLC-gamma1 and Akt enhanced EGF-stimulated cell motility.

Abstract
Ca2+ is a universal signal: the dynamic changes in its release and entry trigger a plethora of cellular responses. Central to this schema are members of the phospholipase C (PLC) superfamily, which relay information from the activated receptor to downstream signal cascades by production of second-messenger molecules. Recent studies reveal that, in addition to its enzymatic activity, PLC-gamma regulates Ca2+ entry via the formation of an intermolecular lipid-binding domain with canonical transient receptor potential 3 (TRPC3) ion channels. This complex, in turn, controls TRPC3 trafficking and cell-surface expression. Thus, TRPC3 ion channels are functionally linked to both lipase-dependent and -independent activities of PLC-gamma. Understanding the underlying molecular mechanisms that regulate this complex will probably clarify the processes of receptor-activated Ca2+ entry.

Abstract
Phospholipase-gamma1 (PLC-gamma1) prevents programmed cell death, for which the enzymatic activity has been implicated. However, the biological function of Src homology (SH) domains of PLC-gamma1 in promoting cell survival remains elusive. Here, we showed that deletion of the N-SH2 domain or both N-SH2 and C-SH2 domains, but not the SH3 domain, abolished the anti-apoptotic activity of PLC-gamma1. Surprisingly, removal of the whole SH domain inhibited apoptosis. The lipase-inactive PLC-gamma1 mutant (LIM) failed to suppress apoptosis. Moreover, the phospholipase activity in SH3- or whole SH domain-deleted cells was comparable to that of wild-type cells. By contrast, the enzymatic activity was substantially ablated in SH2 domain-deleted or LIM cells. A pharmacological inhibitor of PLC-gamma1 robustly diminished the anti-apoptotic action in wild-type, SH3- or whole SH domain-deleted cells, whereas pretreatment of SH2 domain-deleted or LIM cells with agents activating PKC and calcium mobilization markedly promoted cell survival. These results indicate that SH domains in PLC-gamma1 might mediate its anti-apoptotic action by regulating the enzymatic activity.

Abstract
Broad differentiation capacity has been described for mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) from human bone marrow. We sought to identify genes associated with the immature state and pluripotency of this cell type. To prove the pluripotent state of the MSC, differentiation into osteocytes, adipocytes, and chondrocytes was performed in vitro. In contrast, normal skin cells did not harbor these differentiation abilities. We compared the expression profile of human bone marrow MSC with cDNA from one primary human skin cell line as control, using a cDNA chip providing 9600 genes. The identity of all relevant genes was confirmed by direct sequencing. Data of gene array expression were corroborated employing quantitative PCR analysis. About 80 genes were differently expressed more than threefold in MSC compared to mature skin fibroblasts. Interestingly, primary human MSC were found to upregulate a number of genes important for embryogenesis such as distal-less homeo box 5, Eyes absent homolog 2, inhibitor of DNA binding 3, and LIM protein. In contrast, mesenchymal lineage genes were downregulated in MSC in comparison to skin cells. We also detected expression of some genes involved in neural development, indicating the broad differentiation capabilities of MSC. We conclude that human mesenchymal stem cells harbor an expression profile distinct from mature skin fibroblast, and genes associated with developmental processes and stem cell function are highly expressed in adult mesenchymal stem cells.

Abstract
Phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C-gamma1 (PLC-gamma1) has two pleckstrin homology (PH) domains, an N-terminal domain and a split PH domain. Here we show that pull down of NIH3T3 cell extracts with PLC-gamma1 PH domain-glutathione S-transferase fusion proteins, followed by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight-mass spectrometry, identified beta-tubulin as a binding protein of both PLC-gamma1 PH domains. Tubulin is a main component of microtubules and mitotic spindle fibers, which are composed of alpha- and beta-tubulin heterodimers in all eukaryotic cells. PLC-gamma1 and beta-tubulin colocalized in the perinuclear region in COS-7 cells and cotranslocated to the plasma membrane upon agonist stimulation. Membrane-targeted translocation of depolymerized tubulin by agonist stimulation was also supported by immunoprecipitation analyses. The phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP(2)) hydrolyzing activity of PLC-gamma1 was substantially increased in the presence of purified tubulin in vitro, whereas the activity was not promoted by bovine serum albumin, suggesting that beta-tubulin activates PLC-gamma1. Furthermore, indirect immunofluorescent microscopy showed that PLC-gamma1 was highly concentrated in mitotic spindle fibers, suggesting that PLC-gamma1 is involved in spindle fiber formation. The effect of PLC-gamma1 in microtubule formation was assessed by overexpression and silencing PLC-gamma1 in COS-7 cells, which resulted in altered microtubule dynamics in vivo. Cells overexpressing PLC-gamma1 showed higher microtubule densities than controls, whereas PLC-gamma1 silencing with small interfering RNAs led to decreased microtubule network densities as compared with control cells. Taken together, our results suggest that PLC-gamma1 and beta-tubulin transmodulate each other, i.e. that PLC-gamma1 modulates microtubule assembly by beta-tubulin, and beta-tubulin promotes PLC-gamma1 activity.
