ABSTRACT: It has been shown lately that activity of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) is regulated by an array of proteins binding to carboxy (C)-terminus of GPCRs. Proteins of 4.1 family are subsets of subcortical cytoskeletal proteins and are known to stabilize cellular structures and proteins at the plasma membrane. One of the 4.1 family proteins, 4.1G has been shown to interact with the C-terminus of GPCRs and regulate intracellular distribution of the receptors, including parathyroid hormone (PTH)/PTH-related protein receptor (PTHR). PTHR is coupled to trimeric G proteins G(s) and G(q), which activate the adenylyl cyclase/cyclic AMP (cAMP) pathway and phospholipase C pathway, respectively. During the course of investigation of the role of 4.1G on adenylyl cyclase/cAMP signaling pathway, we found that 4.1G suppressed forskolin-induced cAMP production in cells. The cAMP accumulation induced by forskolin was decreased in HEK293 cells overexpressing 4.1G or increased in 4.1G-knockdown cells. Furthermore, PTH-stimulated cAMP production was also suppressed in the presence of exogenously expressed 4.1G despite its activity to increase the distribution of PTHR to the cell surface. In cells overexpressing FERM domain-deleted 4.1G, a mutant form of the protein deficient in plasma membrane distribution, neither forskolin-induced or PTH-stimulated cAMP production was not altered. The suppression of the forskolin-induced cAMP production was observed even in membrane preparations of 4.1G-overexpressing cells. In 4.1G-knockdown HEK293 cells, plasma membrane distribution of adenylyl cyclase 6, one of the major subtypes of the enzyme in the cells, showed a slight decrease, in spite of the increased production of cAMP in those cells when stimulated by forskolin. Also, cytochalasin D treatment did not cause any influence on forskolin-induced cAMP production in HEK293 cells. These data indicate that plasma membrane-associated 4.1G regulates GPCR-mediated G(s) signaling by suppressing adenylyl cyclase-mediated cAMP production.

ABSTRACT: Gα(h) (or transglutaminase-2 (TG2)) is an atypical guanine nucleotide binding-protein that associates with G protein-coupled receptors. TG2 also exerts transglutaminase activity that catalyzes posttranslational protein cross-linking with the formation of ε-(γ-glutamyl) lysine or (γ-glutamyl) polyamine bonds. Here, the role of Gα(h)/TG2 in signal transduction in glial cells was examined in detail. In 1321N1 human astrocytoma cells that lack Gα(h)/TG2, overexpression of Gα(h)/TG2 caused an enhancement of cAMP accumulation stimulated with the β-adrenergic receptor agonist, isoproterenol, or the adenylylcyclase activator, forskolin. This cAMP-enhancement was reversed by the TG2 inhibitor, ERW1069. In rat C6 glioma cells that express endogenous Gα(h)/TG2, cAMP accumulation induced by isoproterenol or forskolin was significantly inhibited by overexpression of Gα(h)/TG2-C277V, a dominant-negative mutant that lacks transglutaminase activity, but was not inhibited by the Gα(h)/TG2-S171E mutant that cannot bind GTP/GDP. These results suggest Gα(h)/TG2 potentiates adenylylcyclase activity by its transglutaminase activity and not by its G-protein activity. Gα(h)/TG2 also increased the activities of the cAMP response element and interleukin-6 promoter, accompanied by an enhancement of cAMP in both glioma cells. Since adenylylcyclase 8 plays a major role in cAMP production, we focused on post-translational modification of adenylylcyclase 8 by Gα(h)/TG2. Adenylylcyclase 8 is expressed in both 1321N1 and C6 cells; however, Gα(h)/TG2 affected neither adenylylcyclase 8 expression levels, glycosylation, nor dimerization status. In contrast, pentylamine, a substrate of Gα(h)/TG2, was incorporated into adenylylcyclase 8 in a transglutaminase activity-dependent manner. Taking these results together, Gα(h)/TG2 promotes cAMP production accompanied by a modification of adenylylcyclase 8 in glioma cells.

ABSTRACT: Lipid rafts, microdomains in the plasma membrane, are known to be involved in G protein-coupled receptor signal transduction; however, their involvement in thromboxane A(2) receptor (TP) signaling remains to be clarified. We examined whether two isoforms of TP, TPα and TPβ, utilize lipid rafts for multiple G protein signal transduction. Sucrose density gradient centrifugation followed by western blotting of HEK cells expressing TPα or TPβ revealed the localization of both TPα and TPβ in lipid rafts. Furthermore, methyl-β-cyclodextrin, which destroys lipid raft structure by depleting cholesterol, influenced G protein signaling elicited by TPα and TPβ to varying degrees. Phosphatidylinositol hydrolysis and cAMP accumulation induced by TPα or TPβ stimulation was markedly inhibited by methyl-β-cyclodextrin. In contrast, treatment with methyl-β-cyclodextrin partially inhibited RhoA activation induced by TPα stimulation, but failed to affect TPβ stimulation. Furthermore, the inhibitory action of methyl-β-cyclodextrin on cAMP accumulation was specific to TPα and TPβ, because methyl-β-cyclodextrin enhanced forskolin and β-adrenergic stimulation-induced cAMP accumulation. These results indicate that TP isoforms depend on lipid rafts during G(q) and G(s) signaling, while G(13) signaling mediated by TP isoforms does not. Moreover, TPα seems to be more lipid raft-dependent with respect to RhoA activation than TPβ. These results indicate that the two isoforms of the TP mediate multiple signal transductions with varying degrees of lipid raft dependency. Moreover, our results provide a deeper understanding of the function of lipid rafts in G protein signaling and the physiological meaning of TP isoforms.

ABSTRACT: Satratoxin H is an important air- and food-borne mycotoxin, which has been implicated in human health damage. Satratoxin H is known to induce apoptosis as well as genotoxicity in PC12 cells. In the present study, we further investigated the mechanism of apoptotic effects of satratoxin H with focus on caspase-3 and poly-ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) pathway. We also examined whether it induces DNA damage in PC12 cells. In the cells treated with satratoxin H, caspase-3 was cleaved in a time-dependent manner. Furthermore, satratoxin H induced cleavage of PARP, one of the downstream molecules of caspase-3. The cleavage was inhibited by SB203580, a p38 MAPK inhibitor, or SP600125, a JNK inhibitor. Satratoxin H, however, had no effect on expression levels of Bax and Bcl-2. Furthermore, the micronucleus assay revealed that satratoxin H induced chromosome break. Also, satratoxin H increased the level of phosphorylation of histone H2A, indicating that it caused DNA double-stranded breaks in PC12 cells. Meanwhile, no genotoxicity was detected with any of treatments carried out in the alkaline comet assay. These results imply that satratoxin H induces genotoxicity by DNA double-stranded break. Our results suggest a considerable potential for the genotoxic risk associated with the presence of satratoxin H.

ABSTRACT: Growing evidence indicates that G protein-coupled receptors can form homo- and hetero-oligomers to diversify signal transduction. However, the molecular mechanisms and physiological significance of G protein-coupled receptor-oligomers are not fully understood. Both ADOR1 (adenosine A(1) receptor) and TBXA2R (thromboxane A(2) receptor α; TPα receptor), members of the G protein-coupled receptor family, act on astrocytes and renal mesangial cells, suggesting certain functional correlations. In this study, we explored the possibility that adenosine A(1) and TPα receptors form hetero-oligomers with novel pharmacological profiles. We showed that these receptors hetero-oligomerize by conducting coimmunoprecipitation and bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET(2)) assays in adenosine A(1) receptor and TPα receptor-cotransfected HEK293T cells. Furthermore, coexpression of the receptors affected signal transduction including the accumulation of cyclic AMP and phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase-1 and -2 was significantly increased by high and low concentrations of adenosine A(1) receptor agonist and TPα agonists, respectively. Our study provides evidence of hetero-oligomerization between adenosine A(1) and TPα receptors for the first time, and suggests that this oligomerization affects signal transduction responding to different concentrations of receptor agonists.

ABSTRACT: A(2A) adenosine receptor (A(2A)R), P2Y(1) receptor (P2Y(1)R) and P2Y(12) receptor (P2Y(12)R) are predominantly expressed on human platelets. The individual role of each of these receptors in platelet aggregation has been actively reported. Previously, hetero-oligomerization between these three receptors has been shown to occur. Here, we show that Ca(2+) signaling evoked by the P2Y(1)R agonist, 2-methylthioladenosine 5' diphosphate (2MeSADP) was significantly inhibited by the A(2A)R antagonist (ZM241385 (4-(2-[7-amino-2-(2-furyl)[1,2,4]-triazolo[2,3-α][1,3,5]triazin-5-yl amino]ethyl) phenol) and SCH442416) and the P2Y(12)R antagonist (ARC69931MX) (N6-(2-methyl-thioethyl)-2-(3,3,3-trifluoropropylthio)-β,γ-dichloromethylene-ATP)) using HEK293T cells expressing the three receptors. It was confirmed that inhibition of P2Y(1)R signaling by A(2A)R and P2Y(12)R antagonists was indeed mediated through A(2A)R and P2Y(12)R using 1321N1 human astrocytoma cells which do not express P2Y receptors. We expect that intermolecular signal transduction and specific conformational changes occur among components of hetero-oligomers formed by these three receptors.

ABSTRACT: Mood stabilizers such as lithium (Li) or valproic acid (VPA) are used in the therapy of bipolar disorders, but the mechanisms by which these medicines work is unclear. Recently, neuroprotection has attracted attention as a potential action for VPA and Li. The close spatial relationship of the pre- and post-synapse with an astrocyte process within a 'tripartite synapse' suggests that mood stabilizer actions on astrocytes may be important. Therefore, we examined the effect of Li and VPA, at therapeutic concentrations, on brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) production in cultured human astrocytoma cells over an extended period of exposure. Released (extracellular) and intracellular BDNF was measured with sandwich-ELISA. Intracellular BDNF mRNA was also quantified using RT-PCR. VPA treatment potentiated the level of extracellular BDNF, whereas Li reduced it. Furthermore, VPA caused increased intracellular levels of BDNF protein and mRNA, while exposure to Li led to no significant differences compared to control cells. We suggest the possibility that VPA and Li have divergent effects on astrocyte BDNF production. Mood stabilizers play an essential role in regulating BDNF not only in neurons, but also in astrocytes. These findings could form the basis of a new astrocyte-targeted approach towards developing effective medications to treat bipolar disorders.

ABSTRACT: The inflammatory response plays an important role in the pathogenesis of many diseases in the central nervous system. Cannabinoids exhibit diverse pharmacological actions including anti-inflammatory activity. In this study, we tried to elucidate possible effects of cannabinoids on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced expression of inflammatory cytokine mRNAs in rat cerebellar granule cells.
Inhibitory effects of cannabinoids on cytokine induction in cerebellar granule cells were determined by RT-PCR method.
In these cells, both mRNA and protein of cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB(1) ), but not CB(2) , were expressed. LPS (1 µg/ml) produced a marked increase in the induction of inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin-1β, interleukin-6 and tumour necrosis factor-α. CP55940, a synthetic cannabinoid analogue, concentration-dependently inhibited inflammatory cytokine expression induced by LPS. On the other hand, the endocannabinoids 2-arachidonoylglycerol and anandamide were not able to inhibit this inflammatory response. Notably, a CB(1) /CB(2) antagonist NESS0327 (3 µm) did not reverse the inhibition of cytokine mRNA expression induced by CP55940. GPR55, a putative novel cannabinoid receptor, mRNA was also expressed in cerebellar granule cells. Although it has been suggested that G(q) associates with GPR55, cannabinoids including CP55940 did not promote phosphoinositide hydrolysis and consequent elevation of intracellular Ca([2+]) concentration. Furthermore, a putative GPR55 antagonist, cannabidiol, also showed a similar inhibitory effect to that of CP55940.
These results suggest that the synthetic cannabinoid CP55940 negatively modulates cytokine mRNA expression in cerebellar granule cells by a CB and GPR55 receptor-independent mechanism.

ABSTRACT: Extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs) play important physiological roles including proliferation, differentiation and gene expression. ERK5 contains kinase domain that shares homology with ERK1/2 and the T-E-Y activation motif at amino-terminal half, whereas the extended carboxy-terminal half is unique. Because the physiological role of ERK5 in glial cells remains unclear, we examined the involvement of ERK5 in expression of neurotrophic factors and cytokines in rat C6 glioma cells, comparing it with ERK1/2. Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) induced both ERK5 and ERK1/2 phosphorylation in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. Among the neurotrophic factors and cytokines, bFGF induced significant gene expression of glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF). The GDNF gene expression and protein synthesis induced by bFGF were blocked by BIX02189 and PD98059 that selectively inhibit ERK5 and ERK1/2 signaling, respectively. The effect was also blocked by overexpression of a dominant-negative MEK5 mutant, indicating that GDNF expression induced by bFGF requires both ERK5 and ERK1/2. Because GDNF gene expression is regulated by various transcription factors, we examined the activity of these factors. We demonstrated that phosphorylation of cAMP-response element-binding protein at Ser 133 was induced by bFGF, which was blocked by BIX02189 and PD98059. Expression of c-fos, a major component of activator protein-1, and early growth response-1 was enhanced by bFGF, and expression of these genes was blocked by BIX02189, PD98059 and overexpression of dominant-negative MEK5. Taking these results together, bFGF promotes GDNF expression accompanied by the activation of ERK5, ERK1/2 and their downstream transcription factors in C6 glioma cells.

ABSTRACT: It has been reported that pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) and panthenol, an alcohol derivative of pantothenic acid, have beneficial moisturizing effects on the skin. However, few studies have investigated the mechanism of action of pantothenic acid on skin tissues. We tried to clarify the role of pantothenic acid on skin function by using keratinocytes and fibroblasts. The depletion of pantothenic acid from the culture medium suppressed keratinocyte proliferation and promoted differentiation. Moreover, pantothenic acid depletion decreased the synthesis of keratinocyte growth factor and procollagen 4a2 in fibroblasts. These results suggest that pantothenic acid is essential for maintaining keratinocyte proliferation and differentiation.

ABSTRACT: The mushroom Hericium erinaceus has been used as a food and herbal medicine since ancient times in East Asia. It has been reported that H. erinaceus promotes nerve growth factor secretion in vitro and in vivo. Nerve growth factor is involved in maintaining and organizing cholinergic neurons in the central nervous system. These findings suggest that H. erinaceus may be appropriate for the prevention or treatment of dementia. In the present study, we examined the effects of H. erinaceus on amyloid β(25-35) peptide-induced learning and memory deficits in mice. Mice were administered 10 µg of amyloid β(25-35) peptide intracerebroventricularly on days 7 and 14, and fed a diet containing H. erinaceus over a 23-d experimental period. Memory and learning function was examined using behavioral pharmacological methods including the Y-maze test and the novel-object recognition test. The results revealed that H. erinaceus prevented impairments of spatial short-term and visual recognition memory induced by amyloid β(25-35) peptide. This finding indicates that H. erinaceus may be useful in the prevention of cognitive dysfunction.

ABSTRACT: GPR55 was recently identified as a putative receptor for certain cannabinoids, and lysophosphatidylinositol (LPI). Recently, the role of cannabinoids as GPR55 agonists has been disputed by a number of reports, in part, because studies investigating GPR55 often utilized overexpression systems, such as the GPR55-overexpressing HEK293 cells, which make it difficult to deduce the physiological role of endogenous GPR55. In the present study, we found that PC12 cells, a neural model cell line, express endogenous GPR55, and by using these cells, we were able to examine the role of endogenous GPR55. Although GPR55 mRNA and protein were expressed in PC12 cells, neither CB(1) nor CB(2) mRNA was expressed in these cells. GPR55 was predominantly localized on the plasma membrane in undifferentiated PC12 cells. However, GPR55 was also localized in the growth cones or the ruffled border in differentiated PC12 cells, suggesting a potential role for GPR55 in the regulation of neurite elongation. LPI increased intracellular Ca(2+) concentration and RhoA activity, and induced ERK1/2 phosphorylation, whereas endogenous and synthetic cannabinoids did not, thereby suggesting that cannabinoids are not GPR55 agonists. LPI also caused neurite retraction in a time-dependent manner accompanied by the loss of neurofilament light chain and redistribution of actin in PC12 cells differentiated by NGF. This LPI-induced neurite retraction was found to be G(q)-independent and G(13)-dependent. Furthermore, inactivation of RhoA function via C3 toxin and GPR55 siRNA knockdown prevented LPI-induced neurite retraction. These results suggest that LPI, and not cannabinoids, causes neurite retraction in differentiated PC12 cells via a GPR55, G(13) and RhoA signaling pathway.

ABSTRACT: Platelet aggregation in the blood vessel causes thrombosis. Therefore, inhibitors of platelet aggregation promise to be preventive or therapeutic agents of various vascular diseases, including myocardial infarction and stroke. In the present study, we found that hericenone B had a strong anti-platelet activity and it might be a novel compound for antithrombotic therapy possessing a novel mechanism. Prior to this study, we examined anti-platelet aggregation activity of ethanol extracts of several species of mushrooms, and found that extract of Hericium erinaceus potently inhibited platelet aggregation induced by collagen. Therefore, we first fractionated the ethanol extract of H. erinaceus to identify the active substances. The anti-platelet activity of each fraction was determined using washed rabbit platelets. As a result, an active component was isolated and identified as hericenone B. Hericenone B selectively inhibited collagen-induced platelet aggregation, but it did not suppress the aggregation induced by U46619 (TXA₂ analogue), ADP, thrombin, or adrenaline. Furthermore, hericenone B did not inhibit arachidonic acid- or convulxin (GPVI agonist)-induced platelet aggregation. Therefore, hericenone B was considered to block collagen signaling from integrin α2/β1 to arachidonic acid release. Moreover, we found that collagen-induced aggregation was inhibited by hericenone B in human platelets, similar to in rabbit platelets.

ABSTRACT: Lipid rafts, formed by sphingolipids and cholesterol within the membrane bilayer, are believed to have a critical role in signal transduction. P2Y(2) receptors are known to couple with G(q) family G proteins, causing the activation of phospholipase C (PLC) and an increase in intracellular Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)](i)) levels. In the present study, we investigated the involvement of lipid rafts in P2Y(2) receptor-mediated signaling and cell migration in NG 108-15 cells. When NG 108-15 cell lysates were fractionated by sucrose density gradient centrifugation, Galpha(q/11) and a part of P2Y(2) receptors were distributed in a fraction where the lipid raft markers, cholesterol, flotillin-1, and ganglioside GM1 were abundant. Methyl-beta-cyclodextrin (CD) disrupted not only lipid raft markers but also Galpha(q/11) and P2Y(2) receptors in this fraction. In the presence of CD, P2Y(2) receptor-mediated phosphoinositide hydrolysis and [Ca(2+)](i) elevation were inhibited. It is noteworthy that UTP-induced cell migration was inhibited by CD or the G(q/11)-selective inhibitor YM254890 [(1R)-1-{(3S,6S,9S,12S,18R,21S,22R)-21-acetamido-18-benzyl-3-[(1R)-1-methoxyethyl]-4,9,10,12,16, 22-hexamethyl-15-methylene-2,5,8,11,14,17,-20-heptaoxo-1,19-dioxa-4,7,10,13,16-pentaazacyclodocosan-6-yl}-2-methylpropyl rel-(2S,3R)-2-acetamido-3-hydroxy-4-methylpentanoate]. Moreover CD and YM254890 completely inhibited Rho-A activation. Downstream of Rho-A signaling, stress fiber formation and phosphorylation of cofilin were also inhibited by CD or YM254890. However, UTP-induced phosphorylation of cofilin was not affected by the expression of p115-regulator of G protein signaling, which inhibits the G(12/13) signaling pathway. This implies that UTP-induced Rho-A activation was relatively regulated by the G(q/11) signaling pathway. These results suggest that lipid rafts are critical for P2Y(2) receptor-mediated G(q/11)-PLC-Ca(2+) signaling and this cascade is important for cell migration in NG 108-15 cells.

ABSTRACT: The activity of neural progenitor cells (NPCs) is regulated by various humoral factors. Although prostaglandin (PG) D(2) is known to mediate various physiological brain functions such as sleep, its actions on NPCs have not been fully understood. In the process of investigating the effects of PGD(2) on NPCs, we found that 15-deoxy-Delta(12,14)-prostaglandin J(2) (15d-PGJ(2)), an endogenous metabolite of PGD(2), exhibits a novel regulation of the proliferation of NPCs derived from mouse hippocampus. 15d-PGJ(2) showed biphasic effects on epidermal growth factor-induced proliferation of NPCs; facilitation at low concentrations ( approximately 0.3 muM) and suppression at higher concentrations (0.5-10 microM) in vitro. 2-Chloro-5-nitrobenzanilide (GW9662), an inhibitor of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma, known to be a molecular target for 15d-PGJ(2), failed to abolish the effects of 15d-PGJ(2). 9,10-dihydro-15d-PGJ(2) (CAY10410), a structural analog of 15d-PGJ(2) lacking the electrophilic carbon in the cyclopentenone ring, did not show 15d-PGJ(2)-like actions. Treatment with 15d-PGJ(2) increased the levels of reactive oxygen species and decreased endogenous GSH levels. Furthermore, supplementation with a membrane-permeable analog of glutathione, GSH ethyl ester (2 mM), diminished the biphasic effects of 15d-PGJ(2). Finally, cell division in the dentate gyrus of postnatal mice was increased by injection of low-dose (1 ng i.c.v.) 15d-PGJ(2) and suppressed by high-dose (30 ng) 15d-PGJ(2). These results suggest that 15d-PGJ(2) regulates the proliferation of NPCs via its electrophilic nature, which enables covalent binding to molecules such as GSH.
