AbstractIncretins including glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which are secreted from the small intestine after oral food ingestion, are currently well-known to stimulate insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells and used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. We have previously reported that prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) stimulates the synthesis of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and osteoprotegerin in osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells, and that IL-6 and osteoprotegerin release are mediated through the p44/p42 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase, p38 MAP kinase or stress-activated protein kinase/c-Jun N-terminal kinase (SAPK/JNK) pathways. In the present study, we investigated the effects of incretins including GLP-1 and GIP, on the PGF2α-induced synthesis of IL-6 and osteoprotegerin and examined the detailed mechanism in osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells. We found that GIP and GLP-1 significantly stimulated the PGF2α-induced synthesis of IL-6 in osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells. In addition, GIP and GLP-1 significantly enhanced the PGF2α-induced mRNA expression levels of IL-6. On the other hand, GIP and GLP-1 markedly stimulated the PGF2α-induced synthesis of osteoprotegerin. However, the phosphorylation of p44/p42 MAP kinase, p38 MAP kinase, or JNK induced by PGF2α was not affected by GIP or GLP-1. Therefore, these results strongly suggest that incretins enhance the PGF2α-induced synthesis of IL-6 and osteoprotegerin in osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells. However, these syntheses are not mediated through p44/p42 MAP kinase, p38 MAP kinase, or JNK pathways.

We have previously reported that endothelin-1 (ET-1) stimulates heat shock protein (HSP) 27 induction in osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells and that p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase acts at a point downstream from protein kinase C (PKC) in HSP27 induction. In the present study, we investigated the effect of the adenylyl cyclase-cAMP system on ET-1-stimulated induction of HSP27 in MC3T3-E1 cells. Dibutyryl-cAMP (DBcAMP) dose dependently inhibited the HSP27 accumulation stimulated by ET-1. Forskolin and cholera toxin significantly suppressed the ET-1-stimulated accumulation of HSP27. However, dideoxyforskolin, a forskolin derivative that does not activate cAMP, failed to suppress the ET-1-induced HSP27 accumulation. Forskolin reduced the p38 MAP kinase phosphorylation induced by ET-1 or 12- O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA). PGE1, an extracellular agonist that activates cAMP production, reduced the ET-1-induced HSP27 accumulation. In addition, the phosphorylation of p38 MAP kinase induced by ET-1 or TPA was suppressed by PGE1. Forskolin, DBcAMP, and PGE1suppressed the ET-1-stimulated increase in the mRNA level for HSP27. These results indicate that the adenylyl cyclase-cAMP system has an inhibitory role in ET-1-stimulated HSP27 induction in osteoblasts and that the effect is exerted at the point between PKC and p38 MAP kinase in osteoblasts.

Abstract Background Heat shock protein 22 (HSP22) belongs to class I of the small HSP family that displays ubiquitous expression in osteoblasts. We previously demonstrated that prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α), a potent bone remodeling factor, induces the synthesis of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) via p44/p42 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase and p38 MAP kinase in osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells. In the present study, we investigated whether HSP22 is implicated in the PGF2α-induced synthesis of IL-6 and VEGF and the mechanism of MC3T3-E1 cells. Methods MC3T3-E1 cells were transfected with HSP22-siRNA. IL-6 and VEGF release was assessed by ELISA. Phosphorylation of p44/p42 MAP kinase and p38 MAP kinase was detected by Western blotting. Results The PGF2α-induced release of IL-6 in HSP22 knockdown cells was significantly suppressed compared with that in the control cells. HSP22 knockdown also reduced the VEGF release by PGF2α. Phosphorylation of p44/p42 MAP kinase and p38 MAP kinase was attenuated by HSP22 downregulation. Conclusions Our results strongly suggest that HSP22 acts as a positive regulator in the PGF2α-induced synthesis of IL-6 and VEGF in osteoblasts.

We investigated the mechanism underlying vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) synthesis stimulated by prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) in osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells. PGE1 induced the phosphorylation of both p44/p42 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase and p38 MAP kinase. SB203580, a specific inhibitor of p38 MAP kinase, inhibited the PGE1-stimulated VEGF synthesis as well as PGE1-induced phosphorylation of p38 MAP kinase. PD98059, an inhibitor of the upstream kinase that activates p44/p42 MAP kinase, which reduced the PGE1-induced phosphorylation of p44/p42 MAP kinase, had little effect on the VEGF synthesis stimulated by PGE1. AH-6809, an antagonist of the subtypes of the PGE receptor, EP1 and EP2, or SC-19220, an antagonist of EP1 receptor, did not inhibit the PGE1-induced VEGF synthesis. H-89, an inhibitor of cAMP-dependent protein kinase, and SQ22536, an inhibitor of adenylate cyclase, reduced the VEGF synthesis induced by PGE1. Cholera toxin, an activator of G(s), and forskolin, an activator of adenylate cyclase, induced VEGF synthesis. SB203580 and PD169316, another specific inhibitor of p38 MAP kinase, reduced the cholera toxin-, forskolin- or 8bromo-cAMP-stimulated VEGF synthesis. However, PD98059 failed to affect the VEGF synthesis stimulated by cholera toxin, forskolin or 8-bromoadenosine-3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (8bromo-cAMP). SB203580 reduced the phosphorylation of p38 MAP kinase induced by forskolin or 8bromo-cAMP. These results strongly suggest that p44/p42 MAP kinase activation is not involved in the PGE1-stimulated VEGF synthesis in osteoblasts but that p38 MAP kinase activation is involved.

Cytoplasmic pH (pHi) was evaluated during Na+-glucose cotransport in Caco-2 intestinal epithelial cell monolayers. The pHi increased by 0.069 ± 0.002 within 150 s after initiation of Na+-glucose cotransport. This increase occurred in parallel with glucose uptake and required expression of the intestinal Na+-glucose cotransporter SGLT1. S-3226, a preferential inhibitor of Na+/H+ exchanger (NHE) isoform 3 (NHE3), prevented cytoplasmic alkalinization after initiation of Na+-glucose cotransport with an ED50 of 0.35 μM, consistent with inhibition of NHE3, but not NHE1 or NHE2. In contrast, HOE-694, a poor NHE3 inhibitor, failed to significantly inhibit pHi increases at <500 μM. Na+-glucose cotransport was also associated with activation of p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase, and the p38 MAP kinase inhibitors PD-169316 and SB-202190 prevented pHi increases by 100 ± 0.1 and 86 ± 0.1%, respectively. Conversely, activation of p38 MAP kinase with anisomycin induced NHE3-dependent cytoplasmic alkalinization in the absence of Na+-glucose cotransport. These data show that NHE3-dependent cytoplasmic alkalinization occurs after initiation of SGLT1-mediated Na+-glucose cotransport and that the mechanism of this NHE3 activation requires p38 MAP kinase activity. This coordinated regulation of glucose (SGLT1) and Na+ (NHE3) absorptive processes may represent a functional activation of absorptive enterocytes by luminal nutrients.
