ABSTRACT The basal activity of Src family kinases is readily detectable throughout the cell cycle and increases by two- to fivefold upon acute stimulation of cells with growth factors such as platelet-derived growth factor. Previous reports have demonstrated a requirement for Src activity for the G1/S and G2/M transitions. With a chimeric α-β PDGF receptor (PDGFR) expressed in fibroblasts, we have investigated the importance of the PDGF-mediated increase in Src activity at the G0/G1 transition for subsequent cell cycle events. A mutant PDGFR chimera that was not able to detectably associate with or activate Src was compromised in its ability to mediate tyrosine phosphorylation of receptor-associated signaling molecules and initiated a submaximal activation of Erk. In contrast to these early cell cycle events, later responses such as entry of cells into S phase and cell proliferation proceeded normally when Src activity did not increase following acute stimulation with PDGF. We conclude that the initial burst of Src activity is required for efficient tyrosine phosphorylation of receptor-associated proteins such as PLCγ, RasGAP, Shc, and SHP-2 and for maximal activation of Erk. Surprisingly, these events are not required for PDGF-dependent cell proliferation. Finally, later cell cycle events do not require that Src be activated at the G0/G1 transition and leave open the possibility that events such as the G1/S transition require the basal Src activity and/or activation of Src at later times in G1.

Trapadil (Mochida Pharmaceuticals, Japan), an antiplatelet drug, suppresses the growth of several cell types and is thought to antagonize platelet-derived growth factor. The effects of trapidil on mesangial-cell proliferation in glomerulonephritis induced by anti-thymocyte serum in Wistar rats were investigated. Control rats were treated with phosphate-buffered saline (group I); group II rats were injected with a single dose of anti-thymocyte serum (8 ml/kg body weight), and group III rats were treated with both a single dose of anti-thymocyte serum (8 ml/kg body weight) and with trapidil (5 mg/kg body weight/day). Three rats in each group were killed on day 3, and the other three on day 10. Control rats showed no significant histological changes on day 3 or day 10. In group II, on day 3, there was a marked decrease in glomerular cell numbers, with mesangiolysis. Histologically severe mesangial-cell proliferation with expansion of mesangial areas was noted on day 10. None of the rats in group III showed mesangial alterations, histologically, indicating that mesangial-cell proliferation was suppressed by trapidil. This suppression may result from antagonism of the binding of platelet derived growth factor to the specific surface receptors in the mesangial cells. Trapidil may have clinical value in the treatment of mesangial-cell proliferative glomerular diseases.

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a devastating pulmonary vascular disease, in which the pathogenesis is complicated and unclear. Pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) proliferation is a key pathological feature of PAH. It has been shown that ubiquitin-specific protease 7 (USP7) is involved in cancer cell proliferation via deubiquitinating and stabilizing E3 ubiquitin ligase mouse double minute 2 (MDM2). However, the effect of USP7 and MDM2 on platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) -induced PASMCs proliferation is uncertain. This study aims to explore this issue. Our results indicated that PDGF up-regulated USP7 protein expression and stimulated PASMCs proliferation; this was accompanied with the increase of MDM2, forkhead box O4 (FoxO4) reduction and elevation of CyclinD1. While prior transfection of USP7 siRNA blocked PDGF-induced MDM2 up-regulation, FoxO4 down-regulation, increase of CyclinD1 and cell proliferation. Pre-depletion of MDM2 by siRNA transfection reversed PDGF-induced reduction of FoxO4, up-regulation of CyclinD1 and PASMCs proliferation. Furthermore, pre-treatment of cells with proteasome inhibitor MG-132 also abolished PDGF-induced FoxO4 reduction, CyclinD1 elevation and cell proliferation. Our study suggests that USP7 up-regulates MDM2, which facilitates FoxO4 ubiquitinated degradation, and subsequently increases the expression of CyclinD1 to mediate PDGF-induced PASMCs proliferation.
