113 8340422 Mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphorylation of c-Raf-1 in vitro, however, does not 1) generate 32P-peptides that comigrate with those that appear de novo after PDGF or insulin treatment in situ; 2) does not convert c-Raf-1 polypeptides to a slower mobility on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis as is seen after PDGF or insulin; 3) does not alter c-Raf-1 kinase activity toward MAPKK.
114 8340422 Thus, based on overlapping site specificity, Erk-2 is a viable candidate to be among the PDGF-stimulated c-Raf-1 kinases.
115 8340422 Although PDGF/insulin-stimulated c-Raf-1 Ser/Thr phosphorylation may be necessary to sustain the active state, a role for mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinase-2 phosphorylation in the initiation of c-Raf-1 activation is unlikely.
116 8665940 Effect of tumor necrosis factor-alpha on insulin-stimulated mitogen-activated protein kinase cascade in cultured rat skeletal muscle cells.
117 8665940 Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) is a proposed mediator of insulin resistance in obese/diabetic animals through its effects on tyrosine phosphorylation of the insulin receptor and its substrate, insulin receptor substrate-1.
118 8665940 In this study, the acute effects of TNF-alpha on the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signalling cascade were examined in cultured rat skeletal muscle cell line, L6.
119 8665940 Insulin treatment of L6 cells resulted in a rapid increase in MAPK activity (> twofold in 5 min with 10 nM insulin).
120 8665940 Prior treatment with TNF-alpha for 60 min blocked subsequent insulin-induced activation of MAPK in a dose- and time-dependent manner.
121 8665940 Metabolic labelling studies with inorganic [32P]phosphate followed by immuno-precipitation of MAPK and its upstream activator, mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase, indicated decreased phosphorylation of MAPK and its kinase in response to insulin in cells exposed to TNF-alpha.
122 8665940 This effect of TNF-alpha was not due to inhibition of insulin-stimulated p21ras-GTP loading or Raf-1 phosphorylation.
123 8665940 Low concentrations (2 nM) of okadaic acid, a serine/threonine phosphatase inhibitor, prevented TNF-alpha-induced inhibition of MAPK and restored insulin's effect on MAPK activity, while orthovanadate (a tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor), inhibitor 2 (phosphatase-1 inhibitor) and FK506 (phosphatase-2B inhibitor) were ineffective.
124 8665940 These results suggested an involvement of an okadaic-acid-sensitive serine/threonine phosphatase in TNF-alpha-induced blockade of insulin's effect on MAPK and/or its kinase.
125 8665940 Therefore, we examined the effect of TNF-alpha on protein phosphatase-1 (PP-1) and protein phosphatase-2A (PP-2A) activities.
126 8665940 As reported by us earlier, insulin rapidly stimulated PP-1 and concomitantly inhibited PP-2A activities in control cells.
127 8665940 TNF-alpha treatment blocked insulin-induced activation of PP-1.
128 8665940 In contrast to PP-1, TNF-alpha caused a 60% increase in PP-2A activity and insulin failed to prevent this TNF-alpha effect.
129 8665940 The time course of PP-2A activation by TNF-alpha preceded the kinetics of inhibition of MAPK.
130 8665940 Cell-permeable ceramide analogs mimicked the TNF-alpha effect on MAPK inhibition and PP-2A activation.
131 8665940 We conclude that TNF-alpha abrogates the insulin effect on MAPK activation by increasing dephosphorylation of MAPK kinase via an activated phosphatase.
132 8964184 In order to elucidate the signal transduction pathway from external mechanical stress to nuclear gene expression in mechanical stress-induced cardiac hypertrophy, we examined the time course of activation of Raf-1 kinase (Raf-1), mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MAPKK) and MAP kinases (MAPKs) in neonatal rat cardiac myocytes.
133 8964184 When the stretch-conditioned culture medium was transferred to non-stretched cardiac myocytes, the medium activated MAPK activity slightly but significantly, and the activation was completely blocked by the type I angiotensin II (AngII) receptor antagonist, CV-11974.
134 8964184 These results suggest that mechanical stress activates the protein kinase cascade of phosphorylation in cardiac myocytes in the order of Raf-1, MAPKK and MAPKs.
135 8964184 In order to elucidate the signal transduction pathway from external mechanical stress to nuclear gene expression in mechanical stress-induced cardiac hypertrophy, we examined the time course of activation of Raf-1 kinase (Raf-1), mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MAPKK) and MAP kinases (MAPKs) in neonatal rat cardiac myocytes.
136 8964184 When the stretch-conditioned culture medium was transferred to non-stretched cardiac myocytes, the medium activated MAPK activity slightly but significantly, and the activation was completely blocked by the type I angiotensin II (AngII) receptor antagonist, CV-11974.
137 8964184 These results suggest that mechanical stress activates the protein kinase cascade of phosphorylation in cardiac myocytes in the order of Raf-1, MAPKK and MAPKs.
138 8972184 Mutation of Raf Cys 165 and Cys 168 to Ser strongly inhibits the Ras-dependent activation of c-Raf-1 by epidermal growth factor (EGF).
139 8972184 Deletion of the Raf zinc finger and replacement with a homologous zinc finger from protein kinase C gamma (PKC gamma) (to give gamma/Raf) also abrogates EGF-induced activation but enables a vigorous phorbol myristate acetate (PMA)-induced activation.

141 9133538 Mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase plays crucial roles in cell growth and differentiation.
142 9133538 It has recently been shown that the MAP kinase cascade in growth factor signaling diverges and cross-talks with other signaling pathways.
143 9133538 In the present study, we examined the effects of wortmannin, a specific inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-kinase), on the activation of Ras, Raf-1 kinase, and MAP kinase by insulin and epidermal growth factor (EGF).
144 9133538 The effect of LY294002, a structurally distinct PI3-kinase inhibitor, on the activation of Raf-1 kinase by both ligands was also examined.
145 9133538 In 3T3-L1 adipocytes, 25 nmol/l wortmannin inhibited the insulin-induced activation of Raf-1 kinase to the basal level, whereas the same dose of wortmannin had little effect on the EGF-induced activation of Raf-1 kinase.
146 9133538 One hundred micromol/l LY294002 blocked insulin-induced activation of Raf-1 kinase without affecting EGF-induced activation of this kinase.
147 9133538 Twenty-five nmol/l wortmannin inhibited the insulin-induced activation of MAP kinase to the basal level with no effect on the EGF-induced activation of this kinase.
148 9133538 In contrast, in Chinese hamster ovary cells overexpressing the human insulin receptor (CHO-HIR cells), neither wortmannin nor LY294002 inhibited the insulin-induced activation of Raf-1 kinase, and wortmannin had little effect on the activation of MAP kinase by insulin.
149 9133538 These results indicate that 1) PI3-kinase or wortmannin-sensitive molecules are involved in the interaction between activated Ras and Raf-1 kinase in the insulin signaling in 3T3-L1 adipocytes, 2) the involvement of PI3-kinase or wortmannin-sensitive molecules in the insulin-induced activation of MAP kinase appears to be cell-type specific, and 3) differential mechanisms to activate Raf-1 kinase and MAP kinase by insulin and EGF exist.

200 9165048 Mitogen-activated protein kinase and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase pathways are not sufficient for insulin-like growth factor I-induced mitogenesis and tumorigenesis.
201 9165048 Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and insulin are known to activate a signaling cascade involving ras --> kappa raf-1 --> mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase kinase (MEK) --> p42/p44 MAP kinase (Erk-1 and -2).
202 9165048 Recent reports suggest that activation of this ras/MAP kinase pathway is involved in mitogenesis and c-fos transcription but is not required for insulin action on metabolic processes such as glycogen synthesis, lipogenesis, and GLUT-4-mediated glucose transport.
203 9165048 To further characterize the role of these tyrosines in IGF-I receptor function, we have used three distinct approaches to examine the ras/MAP kinase pathway in IGF-I-induced mitogenesis and tumorigenesis in NIH-3T3 cells overexpressing wild-type and mutated IGF-I receptors: 1) tyrosine phosphorylation of the MAP kinases Erk-1 and -2; 2), mobility shifts indicative of MAP kinase phosphorylation; and 3) in vitro MAP kinase activation.
204 9165048 By each method we show that the IGF-I-induced MAP kinase phosphorylation/activation and PI 3-kinase activation, are not different between cells overexpressing wild-type IGF-I receptors and cells carrying IGF-I receptors having tyrosine motifs replaced at positions 1250 and 1251.
205 9165048 We conclude that mitogenic and tumorigenic signals involving tyrosine residues in the C-terminal domain of the IGF-I-receptor include pathways other than the MAP kinase and PI 3-kinase pathways.
206 9175762 The proto-oncogene Crk-II enhances apoptosis by a Ras-dependent, Raf-1/MAP kinase-independent pathway.

210 9688610 The mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase signaling pathways are believed to act as critical signal transducers between stress stimuli and transcriptional responses in mammalian cells.
211 9688610 To determine whether injury to the vastus lateralis muscle activates MAP kinase signaling in human subjects, two needle biopsies or open muscle biopsies were taken from the same incision site 30-60 min apart.
212 9688610 The muscle biopsy procedures resulted in striking increases in dual phosphorylation of the extracellular-regulated kinases (ERK1 and ERK2) and in activity of the downstream substrate, the p90 ribosomal S6 kinase.
213 9688610 Raf-1 kinase and MAP kinase kinase, upstream activators of ERK, were also markedly stimulated in all subjects.
214 9688610 In addition, c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase and p38 kinase, components of two parallel MAP kinase pathways, were activated following muscle injury.
215 9688610 The stimulation of the three MAP kinase cascades was present only in the immediate vicinity of the injury, a finding consistent with a local rather than systemic activation of these signaling cascades in response to injury.
216 9688610 These data demonstrate that muscle injury induces the stimulation of the three MAP kinase cascades in human skeletal muscle, suggesting a physiological relevance of these protein kinases in the immediate response to tissue injury and possibly in the initiation of wound healing.
217 10329981 Differential regulation of MAP kinase, p70(S6K), and Akt by contraction and insulin in rat skeletal muscle.
218 10329981 To study the effects of contractile activity on mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAP kinase), p70 S6 kinase (p70(S6K)), and Akt kinase signaling in rat skeletal muscle, hindlimb muscles were contracted by electrical stimulation of the sciatic nerve for periods of 15 s to 60 min.
219 10329981 Contraction resulted in a rapid and transient activation of Raf-1 and MAP kinase kinase 1, a rapid and more sustained activation of MAP kinase and the 90-kDa ribosomal S6 kinase 2, and a dramatic increase in c-fos mRNA expression.
220 10329981 Contraction also resulted in an apparent increase in the association of Raf-1 with p21Ras, although stimulation of MAP kinase signaling occurred independent of Shc, IRS1, and IRS2 tyrosine phosphorylation or the formation of Shc/Grb2 or IRS1/Grb2 complexes.
221 10329981 Insulin was considerably less effective than contraction in stimulating the MAP kinase pathway.
222 10329981 However, insulin, but not contraction, increased p70(S6K) and Akt activities in the muscle.
223 10329981 These results demonstrate that contraction-induced activation of the MAP kinase pathway is independent of proximal steps in insulin and/or growth factor-mediated signaling, and that contraction and insulin have discordant effects with respect to the activation of the MAP kinase pathway vs. p70(S6K) and Akt.
224 10329981 Of the numerous stimulators of MAP kinase in skeletal muscle, contractile activity emerges as a potent and physiologically relevant activator of MAP kinase signaling, and thus activation of this pathway is likely to be an important molecular mechanism by which skeletal muscle cells transduce mechanical and/or biochemical signals into downstream biological responses.

233 11027130 Cell treatment with manumycin blocked insulin's ability to suppress pro-apoptotic caspase-3 activity which led to time-dependent proteolytic cleavage of two nuclear target proteins.
234 11027130 The Raf-1/MEK/ERK cascade and the serine/threonine protein kinase Akt are two survival pathways that may be activated in response to insulin.
235 11027130 We tested the hypothesis that inhibition of farnesylated Ras was causally related to manumycin-induced apoptosis and showed that the response to manumycin was found to be independent of K-Ras function because membrane association and activation of endogenous K-Ras proteins in terms of GTP loading and ERK activation were unabated following treatment with manumycin.
236 11027130 Moreover, blocking p21Ras/Raf-1/MEK/ERK cascade by the expression of a transdominant inhibitory mSOS1 mutant in CHO-IR cells kept cells sensitive to the antiapoptotic action of insulin.
237 11027130 Insulin-dependent activation of Akt was blocked by 4 h treatment with manumycin (P < 0.01), a kinetic too rapid to be explained by Ras inhibition.
238 11027130 This study suggests that the depletion of short-lived farnesylated proteins by manumycin suppresses the antiapoptotic action of insulin at least in part by disrupting Akt activation but not that of the K-Ras/Raf-1/ERK-dependent cascade.

248 11027130 Moreover, blocking p21Ras/Raf-1/MEK/ERK cascade by the expression of a transdominant inhibitory mSOS1 mutant in CHO-IR cells kept cells sensitive to the antiapoptotic action of insulin.
249 11027130 Insulin-dependent activation of Akt was blocked by 4 h treatment with manumycin (P < 0.01), a kinetic too rapid to be explained by Ras inhibition.
250 11027130 This study suggests that the depletion of short-lived farnesylated proteins by manumycin suppresses the antiapoptotic action of insulin at least in part by disrupting Akt activation but not that of the K-Ras/Raf-1/ERK-dependent cascade.
251 11274179 Incubation of cells with nocodazole leads to activation of Pak1/2, kinases downstream of small GTPases Rac/Cdc42, which have been previously indicated to phosphorylate Raf-1 Ser(338).
252 11274179 Nocodazole-induced stimulation of Raf-1 is augmented by co-expression of small GTPases Rac/Cdc42 and Pak1/2.
253 11274179 Dominant negative mutants of these proteins block activation of Raf-1 by nocodazole, but not by epidermal growth factor (EGF).
254 11274179 Thus, our studies define Rac/Cdc42/Pak as a module upstream of Raf-1 during its activation by microtubule disruption.
255 11274179 Finally, an in vitro kinase assay demonstrates that the zinc finger mutant serves as a better substrate of Pak1 than the wild type Raf-1.
256 11274179 Collectively, our results indicate that 1) the zinc finger exerts an inhibitory effect on Raf-1 activation, probably by preventing phosphorylation of (338)SSYY(341); 2) such inhibition is first overcome by an unknown factor binding in place of Ras-GTP to the amino-terminal regulatory region in response to nocodazole; and 3) EGF and nocodazole utilize different kinases to phosphorylate Ser(338), an event crucial for Raf activation.

287 11733498 Interaction between active Pak1 and Raf-1 is necessary for phosphorylation and activation of Raf-1.

296 11937295 Promoter assay showed that the induction of VEGF was dependent on AP-1.
297 11937295 The activity of Ras/Raf-1/MEK/ERK1/2 was involved in the CML-BSA-stimulated signaling pathways to activate the AP-1 transcription with a peak at 1 h.
298 11937295 AGE-BSA also induced VEGF mediated by AP-1, however, there was a difference of effect between AGE-BSA and CML-BSA in the activation of AP-1.
299 11991199 Potentiation of mitogenic activity of platelet-derived growth factor by physiological concentrations of insulin via the MAP kinase cascade in rat A10 vascular smooth muscle cells.
300 11991199 In this study, we attempted to determine whether insulin affects mitogenic signaling induced by platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) in a rat VSMC cell line (A10 cells).
301 11991199 Initiation of DNA synthesis was preceded by activation of Raf-1, MEK and MAP kinases (Erk 1 and Erk2).
302 11991199 Treatment of the cells with PD98059, an inhibitor of MAPK kinase (MEK) attenuated but did not abolish PDGF-stimulated DNA synthesis, suggesting that MAPK is required but not essential for DNA synthesis.
303 11991199 PDGF also stimulated phosphorylation of protein kinase B (Akt/PKB) and p70 S6Kinase (p70S6K) in a wortmannin-sensitive manner.
304 11991199 Low concentrations of insulin (1-10 nmol/l) alone showed little mitogenic activity and no significant effect on MAPK activity.
305 11991199 However, the presence of insulin enhanced both DNA synthesis and MAPK activation by PDGF.
306 11991199 Insulin was without effect on PDGF-stimulated activations of protein kinase B (Akt/PKB) and p70S6K.
307 11991199 We conclude that insulin, at pathophysiologically relevant concentrations, potentiates the PDGF-stimulated DNA synthesis, at least in part, by potentiating activation of the MAPK cascade.
308 12006386 The overexpression of dominant-negative p47phox in A10 cells suppressed lysoPC-induced ERK activation.
309 12006386 The ROS-dependent ERK activation by lysoPC seems to involve protein kinase C- and Ras-dependent raf-1 activation.
310 12006386 Induction of c-fos expression and enhanced AP-1 binding activity by lysoPC were also inhibited by DPI and NAC.
311 12006386 Taken together, these data suggest that ROS generated by NADH/NADPH oxidase contribute to lysoPC-induced activation of ERK1/2 and subsequent growth promotion in VSMCs.
312 12147223 Here, we show that adducts of N(epsilon)-(carboxymethyl)lysine (CML), a major AGE, and bovine serum albumin (CML-BSA) stimulated gamma-glutamylcysteine synthetase (gamma-GCS), which is a key enzyme of glutathione (GSH) synthesis, in RAW264.7 mouse macrophage-like cells.
313 12147223 CML-BSA also stimulated DNA-binding activity of activator protein-1 (AP-1) within 3h, but the stimulatory effect decreased in 5h, and nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) with a peak activity at 1h and the stimulatory effect diminished in 3h.
314 12147223 CML-BSA also stimulated the activity of protein kinase C, Ras/Raf-1, and MEK/ERK1/2.
315 12147223 Inhibition of ERK1/2 abolished CML-BSA-stimulated AP-1 DNA-binding activity and gamma-GCSh mRNA expression.
316 12196513 High glucose stimulates synthesis of fibronectin via a novel protein kinase C, Rap1b, and B-Raf signaling pathway.
317 12196513 This investigation describes the effect of high glucose (HG) on a small GTP-binding protein, Rap1b, expression and activation, and the relevance of protein kinase C (PKC) and Raf pathways in fibronectin synthesis in cultured renal glomerular mesangial cells (MCs).
318 12196513 B-Raf and Raf-1 expression was investigated to assess whether Rap1b effects are mediated via the Raf pathway.
319 12196513 B-Raf, and not Raf-1, expression was increased in MCs transfected with Rap1b.
320 12196513 HG also caused activation of Rap1b, which was largely unaffected by anti-platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) antibodies.
321 12196513 HG-induced activation of Rap1b was specific, since Rap2b activation and expression of Rap2a and Rap2b were unaffected by HG.
322 12196513 This effect appears to be PKC-dependent and PDGF-independent, but involves B-Raf, suggesting a novel PKC-Rap1b-B-Raf pathway responsible for HG-induced increased mesangial matrix synthesis, a hallmark of diabetic nephropathy.

331 12244094 The present study characterizes the interaction between the Raf-1 kinase domain and MEK1 and examines whether the magnitude of their interaction correlates to the ability of Raf to phosphorylate MEK1.

339 12647305 Involvement of MEKK1/ERK/P21Waf1/Cip1 signal transduction pathway in inhibition of IGF-I-mediated cell growth response by methylglyoxal.
340 12647305 These disturbances could modify the cell response to hormones and growth factors, including insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-I).
341 12647305 MG rendered these cells resistant to the mitogenic action of IGF-I, and this was associated with stronger and prolonged activation of ERK and over-expression of P21(Waf1/Cip1).
342 12647305 The synergistic effect of MG with IGF-I in activation of ERK was completely abolished by PD98059 but not by a specific PI3K inhibitor, LY294002, or a specific PKC inhibitor, bisindolylmaleimide.
343 12647305 Blocking of Raf-1 activity by expression of a dominant negative form of Raf-1 did not reduce the enhancing effect of MG on IGF-I-induced activation of ERK.
344 12647305 However, transfection of a catalytically inactive form of MEKK1 resulted in inactivation of the MG-induced activation of ERK and partial inhibition of the enhanced activation of ERK and over-expression of p21(Waf1/Cip1) induced by co-stimulation of MG and IGF-I.
345 12647305 These results suggested that the alteration of intracellular milieu induced by MG through a MEKK1-mediated and PI3K/PKC/Raf-1-independent pathway resulted in the modification of cell response to IGF-I for p21(Waf1/Cip1)-mediated growth arrest, which may be one of the crucial mechanisms for MG to promote the development of chronic clinical complications in diabetes.
346 12663469 Differential activation mechanisms of Erk-1/2 and p70(S6K) by glucose in pancreatic beta-cells.
347 12663469 Glucose can activate the mitogen-activated kinases, Erk-1/2, and the ribosomal-S6 kinase, p70(S6K), in beta-cells, contributing to an increase in mitogenesis.
348 12663469 However, the signaling mechanism by which glucose induces Erk-1/2 and p70(S6K) phosphorylation activation is undefined.
349 12663469 Increased glucose metabolism increases [Ca(2+)](i) and [cAMP], and it was investigated if these secondary signals were linked to glucose-induced Erk-1/2 and p70(S6K) activation in pancreatic beta-cells.
350 12663469 Blocking Ca(2+) influx with verapamil, or inhibiting protein kinase A (PKA) with H89, prevented glucose-induced Erk-1/2 phosphorylation.
351 12663469 Collectively, our study indicates that a glucose-induced rise in [Ca(2+)](i) leads to cAMP-induced activation of PKA that acts downstream of Ras and upstream of the MAP/Erk kinase, MEK, to mediate Erk-1/2 phosphorylation via phosphorylation activation of Raf-1.
352 12663469 In contrast, glucose-induced p70(S6K) activation, in the same beta-cells, was mediated by a distinct signaling pathway independent of Ca(2+)/cAMP, most likely via mTOR-kinase acting as an "ATP-sensor."
353 12688637 Also, we report immunologic localization of H-Ras regulatory proteins including its nucleotide exchange factor (GRF-1) and its effector protein (eg., Raf-1) in isolated beta-cells.
354 12956399 Also content of phoshorylated c-Raf kinase (an upstream activator of ERKs) was slightly increased at baseline conditions in the diabetic samples.
355 15093669 While vanadium deficiency accounts for several physiological malfunctionings including thyroid, glucose and lipid metabolism, etc., several genes are regulated by this element or by its compounds, which include genes for tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), Interleukin-8 (IL-8), activator protein-1 (AP-1), ras, c-raf-1, mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK), p53, nuclear factors-kappaB, etc.

365 15640073 [MAP kinase signal pathway in hyperglycemia-induced congenital neural tube defects].
366 15640073 Changes in MAPK signaling pathways were detected by western blot analysis using special antibodies directed against phosphorylated forms of extracellular signal regulated kinase (ERK), Jun N-terminal/stress-activated protein kinase (JNK/SAPK).
367 15640073 Furthermore, activity of RAF-1, an upstream kinase in ERK1/2 signaling cascade, was evaluated by immunoprecipitation assay.
368 15640073 Under rescuing circumstance,activations of ERK1/2 and RAF-1 were increased, and JNK1/2 were decreased.

375 16275148 Novel actions of IGFBP-3 on intracellular signaling pathways of insulin-secreting cells.
376 16275148 We recently reported insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) as a novel mediator of apoptosis in insulin-secreting cells.
377 16275148 Using the rat insulinoma RINm5F cell line, we report the first studies in insulin-secreting cells that IGFBP-3 selectively suppresses multiple, key intracellular phosphorelays.
378 16275148 By immunoblot, we demonstrate that G(56)G(80)G(81)-IGFBP-3 suppresses phosphorylation of c-raf-MEK-ERK pathway and p38 kinase in time-dependent and dose-dependent manners.
379 16275148 SAPK/JNK signaling was unaffected.
380 16275148 These data delineate several novel intracellular sites of action for IGFBP-3 in insulin-secreting cells.
381 16452245 After low-number islet transplantation (n = 450), the liver acini downstream of the islets show insulin-induced alterations: massive glycogen and/or fat accumulation, translocation of the insulin receptor, decrease in glucose-6-phosphatase activity, increase in expression of insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I, IGF-II/mannose-6-phosphate receptor, insulin receptor substrate-1, Raf-1, and Mek-1, corresponding to clear cell preneoplastic foci of altered hepatocytes known from chemical hepatocarcinogenesis and identical to that in streptozotocin-diabetic Lewis rats.
382 16452245 After 6 months, many altered liver acini progressed to other types of preneoplasias often accompanied by an overexpression of the glutathione-S transferase (placental form), IGF-I receptor, and transforming growth factor (TGF)-alpha.
383 16452245 Hepatocarcinogenesis is independent from additional genotoxic compounds (i.e., streptozotocin), but is primarily triggered by increased intracellular insulin signaling via pathways associated with cell growth and proliferation, such as the Ras-Raf-mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway and the IGF system, and secondarily involves other growth factors, such as TGF-alpha.
384 16504566 Raf-1 protein-serine/threonine kinase serves as a central switch board in the transmission of many growth and developmental signals.
385 16504566 We observed that a rapid and detectable decrease in Raf-1 protein levels was induced by methylglyoxal, which was accelerated by treating with a Raf-1 activator, phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate, and by expressing active forms of Raf-1 and Ras.
386 16504566 Blocking phosphorylation with the protein kinase C inhibitor bisindolylmaleimide, or inhibiting intracellular oxidation by addition of the antioxidant N-acetyl-l-cysteine could reverse the ubiquitination and downregulation of Raf-1 induced by methylglyoxal and phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate.
387 16504566 These results suggest that methylglyoxal-mediated intracellular oxidation and ubiquitin/proteasome-dependent proteolysis are involved in the downregulation of Raf-1, which may be closely related to the development complications in diabetes.
