Interaction of GH with the cell-surface GH receptor (GHR) causes
activation of the GHR-associated tyrosine kinase, JAK2, and consequent
triggering of signaling cascades including the STAT, Ras/Raf/MEK1/MAP
kinase, and insulin receptor substrate-1(IRS-1)/PI3kinase pathways. We
previously showed that IRS- and GHR-deficient 32D cells that stably
express the rabbit GHR and rat IRS-1 (32D-rbGHR-IRS-1) exhibited
markedly enhanced GH-induced proliferation and MAP kinase (ERK1 and
ERK2) activation compared with cells expressing only the GHR
(32D-rbGHR). We now examine biochemical mechanism(s) by which IRS-1
augments GH-induced MAP kinase activation. Time-course experiments
revealed a similarly transient (maximal at 15 min) GH-induced ERK1 and
ERK2 activation in both 32D-rbGHR and 32D-rbGHR-IRS-1 cells, but,
consistent with our prior findings, substantially greater activation
was seen in the IRS-1-containing cells. In both cells, GH-induced MAP
kinase activation was markedly blunted by the MEK1 inhibitor, PD98059,
but not by the PKC inhibitor, GF109203X. Interestingly, pretreatment
with the PI3K inhibitor, wortmannin (EC50
10
nM), significantly reduced GH-induced MAP kinase activation
in both 32D-rbGHR and 32D-rbGHR-IRS-1 cells. This same pattern in
both cells of IRS-1-dependent augmentation and IRS-1-independent
wortmannin sensitivity was also observed for GH-induced activation of
Akt and MEK1 (using state-specific antibody blotting for both), despite
the lack of difference in GHR, JAK2, SHP-2, p85, Akt, Ras, Raf-1, MEK1,
ERK1, or ERK2 abundance between the two cells. A different PI3K
inhibitor, LY294002 (50 µM), substantially inhibited
(roughly 72%) GH-induced MAP kinase activation in 32D-rbGHR-IRS-1
cells, but only marginally (and statistically insignificantly)
inhibited GH-induced MAP kinase activation in 32D-rbGHR cells.
Because GH-induced Akt activation was completely inhibited in both
cells by the same concentration of LY294002, these findings indicate
that the wortmannin sensitivity of both the IRS-1-independent and
-dependent GH-induced MAP kinase activation may reflect the activity of
another wortmannin-sensitive target(s) in addition to PI3K in mediation
of GH-induced MAP kinase activation in these cells. Notably, GH-induced
STAT5 tyrosine phosphorylation, unlike Akt or MAPK activation, did not
differ between the cells. Finally, while GH promoted accumulation of
activated Ras in both cells, both basal and GH-induced activated Ras
levels were greater in cells expressing IRS-1 than in 32D-rbGHR cells.
These data indicate that while GH induces tyrosine phosphorylation of
STAT5 and activation of the Ras/Raf/MEK1/MAPK and PI3K pathways, IRS-1
expression augments the latter two more than the former.
