Mitogen-activated protein -kinase pathways

Functionally, the Dl-like receptors (Dl, D5) are coupled to the G protein Gas and thus can stimulate adenylyl cyclase. The D2-like receptors (D2, D3, and D4) couple to pertussis toxin sensitive G proteins (Gai/0), and consequently inhibit adenylyl cyclase activity. While the Dl-like receptors almost exclusively signal through Gas-mediated activation of adenylyl cyclase, the D2-like receptors have been reported to modulate the activity of a plethora of signaling molecules and pathways. Many of these actions are mediated through the G(3y subunit. Some of these molecules and pathways include the calcium channels, potassium channels, sodium-hydrogen exchanger, arachidonic acid release, and mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways.

The Ras pathway is shown here. Ras is a G-protein that couples signaling from growth factors. The activated receptor is a GNRP that increases the exchange of GDP for GTP and activates the G-protein. Ras GAP inactivates the G-protein. The downstream signal for activated Ras is eventually the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway (MAPK).

In the proper cellular context in B cells, NK cells and mast cells, Syk kinase has been shown to transduce cell growth and survival signals by activating PI3K/Akt and Ras/mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways [3,46]. When deregulated, Syk activity can promote myelodysplasias, leukemogenesis, and perhaps viral-media ted cellular transformations [47,48]. By contrast, Syk has also been proposed to function as a tumor suppressor [49]. This is however, based on...

Fig. 6. Role of signal transduction pathways in phosphorylating H3 at Ser-10 and Ser-28. The Ras-MAPK (mitogen activated protein kinase) pathway is activated by EGF (epidermal growth factor) and TPA (12-0-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate). UV-B activates both the Ras-MAPK pathway and the p38 kinase pathway (for more information about the signal transduction pathways see http // kinase, oci.utoronto.ca/signallingmap.html).

CBi and CB2 seem to couple to inhibitory Gj and/or G0 proteins. CBi receptors are known to effect adenylate cyclase, a variety of potassium and calcium currents, and the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway. CBi receptors have been shown to activate at least six subtypes of Gj and G0 proteins, supporting reports that they effect a wide variety of intracellular signaling systems. In contrast to CB receptors, CB2 receptors do not seem to effect ion currents directly (Breivogel et al., 2001).

Other putative effects of estrogens include preservation of autoregulatory function, an antioxidant effect, reduction of A(i production and neurotoxicity, reduced excitotoxicity, increased expression of antiapoptotic factor bcl-2, and activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways. Also, there is overwhelming data indicating that estrogens enhance survival of neurons both in vitro and in vivo (Green and Simpkins, 2000).
