Muscle contractions and insulin stimulate glucose transport into muscle by separate pathways. The contraction-mediated increase in glucose transport is mediated by two mechanisms, one involves the activation of 5′-AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and the other involves the activation of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CAMKII). The steps leading from the activation of AMPK and CAMKII to the translocation of GLUT4 to the cell surface have not been identified. Studies with the use of the tyrosine kinase inhibitor genistein suggest that one or more tyrosine kinases could be involved in contraction-stimulated glucose transport. The purpose of the present study was to determine the involvement of tyrosine kinases in contraction-stimulated glucose transport in rat soleus and epitrochlearis muscles. Contraction-stimulated glucose transport was completely prevented by pretreatment with genistein (100 μM) and the related compound butein (100 μM). However, the structurally distinct tyrosine kinase inhibitors 4-amino-5-(4-chlorophenyl)-7-( t-butyl)pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyridine and herbimycin did not reduce contraction-stimulated glucose transport. Furthermore, genistein and butein inhibited glucose transport even when muscles were exposed to these compounds after being stimulated to contract. Muscle contractions did not result in increases in tyrosine phosphorylation of proteins such as proline-rich tyrosine kinase and SRC. These results provide evidence that tyrosine kinases do not mediate contraction-stimulated glucose transport and that the inhibitory effects of genistein on glucose transport result from direct inhibition of the glucose transporters at the cell surface.

Olomoucine is known as a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor. We found that olomoucine blocked insulin’s ability to stimulate glucose transport. It did so without affecting the activity of known insulin signaling proteins. To identify the olomoucine-sensitive kinase(s), we prepared analogs that could be immobilized to an affinity resin to isolate binding proteins. One of the generated analogs inhibited insulin-stimulated glucose uptake with increased sensitivity compared with olomoucine. The IC50 for inhibition of insulin-stimulated glucose uptake occurred at analog concentrations as low as 0.1 μm. To identify proteins binding to the analog, [35S]-labeled cell lysates prepared from 3T3-L1 adipocytes were incubated with analog chemically cross-linked to a resin support and binding proteins analyzed by SDS-PAGE. The major binding species was a doublet at 50–60 kDa, which was identified as calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) by N-terminal peptide analysis and confirmed by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-mass spectrometry as the δ- and β-like isoforms. To investigate CaMKII involvement in insulin-stimulated glucose uptake, 3T3-L1 adipocytes were infected with retrovirus encoding green fluorescent protein (GFP)-hemagluttinin tag (HA)-tagged CaMKII wild-type or the ATP binding mutant, K42M. GFP-HA-CaMKII K42M cells had less kinase activity than cells expressing wild-type GFP-HA-CaMKII. Insulin-stimulated glucose transport was significantly decreased (∼80%) in GFP-HA-CaMKII K42M cells, compared with nontransfected cells, and cells expressing either GFP-HA-CaMKII or GFP-HA. There was not a concomitant decrease in insulin-stimulated GLUT4 translocation in GFP-HA-CaMKII K42M cells when compared with GFP-HA alone. However, insulin-stimulated GLUT4 translocation in GFP-HA-CaMKII cells was significantly higher, compared with either GFP-HA or GFP-HA-CaMKII K42M cells. Our results implicate the involvement of CaMKII in glucose transport in a permissive role.

Abstract Calcium/Calmodulin-dependent Protein Kinase Kinase 2 (CAMKK2) acts as a signaling hub, receiving signals from various regulatory pathways and decoding them via phosphorylation of downstream protein kinases - such as AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase) and CAMK types I and IV. CAMKK2 relevance is highlighted by its constitutive activity being implicated in several human pathologies. However, at present, there are no selective small-molecule inhibitors available for this protein kinase. Moreover, CAMKK2 and its closest human homolog, CAMKK1, are thought to have overlapping biological roles. Here we present six new co-structures of potent ligands bound to CAMKK2 identified from a library of commercially-available kinase inhibitors. Enzyme assays confirmed that most of these compounds are equipotent inhibitors of both human CAMKKs and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) revealed that binding to some of these molecules to CAMKK2 is enthalpy driven. We expect our results to advance current efforts to discover small molecule kinase inhibitors selective to each human CAMKK.

Colonic Epithelial Cells

We studied a possible role of tyrosine kinases in the regulation of Ca entry into colonic epithelial cells HT-29/B6 using digital image processing of fura 2 fluorescence. Both carbachol and thapsigargin increased Ca entry to a similar extent and Ca influx was reduced by the tyrosine kinase inhibitor genistein (50 microM). Further experiments were performed in solutions containing 95 mM K to depolarize the membrane potential, and the effects of different inhibitors on influx of Ca, Mn, and Ba were compared. Genistein, but not the inactive analogue daidzein nor the protein kinase C inhibitor 1-(5-isoquinolinylsulfonyl)-2- methylpiperazine, decreased entry of all three divalent cations by 47-59%. In high-K solutions, carbachol or thapsigargin both caused intracellular Ca to increase to a plateau of 223 +/- 19 nM. This plateau was reduced by the tyrosine kinase inhibitors genistein (to 95 +/- 8 nM), lavendustin A (to 155 +/- 17 nM), and methyl-2,5-dihydroxycinnamate (to 39 +/- 3 nM). Orthovanadate, a protein tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor, prevented the inhibitory effect of genistein. Ca pumping was unaffected by genistein. Carbachol increased tyrosine phosphorylation (immunoblots with anti-phosphotyrosine antibodies) of 110-, 75-, and 70-kDa proteins, and this phosphorylation was inhibited by genistein. We conclude that carbachol and thapsigargin increase Ca entry, and tyrosine phosphorylation of some key proteins may be important for regulating this pathway.

Abstract The TEL/PDGFβR fusion protein is expressed as the consequence of a recurring t(5;12) translocation associated with chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML). Unlike other activated protein tyrosine kinases associated with hematopoietic malignancies, TEL/PDGFβR is invariably associated with a myeloid leukemia phenotype in humans. To test the transforming properties of TEL/PDGFβR in vivo, and to analyze the basis for myeloid lineage specificity in humans, we constructed transgenic mice with TEL/PDGFβR expression driven by a lymphoid-specific immunoglobulin enhancer-promoter cassette. These mice developed lymphoblastic lymphomas of both T and B lineage, demonstrating that TEL/PDGFβR is a transforming protein in vivo, and that the transforming ability of this fusion is not inherently restricted to the myeloid lineage. Treatment of TEL/PDGFβR transgenic animals with a protein tyrosine kinase inhibitor with in vitro activity against PDGFβR (CGP57148) resulted in suppression of disease and a prolongation of survival. A therapeutic benefit was apparent both in animals treated before the development of overt clonal disease and in animals transplanted with clonal tumor cells. These results suggest that small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors may be effective treatment for activated tyrosine kinase–mediated malignancies both early in the course of disease and after the development of additional transforming mutations.

Smooth Muscle Dysfunction

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is an important reactive oxygen species implicated in lung vascular constriction and injury. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of tyrosine kinases in H2O2-induced vascular contraction and dysfunction. In our study, H2O2 (200 microM) caused an initial transient contraction followed by a strong, sustained contraction in isolated rat pulmonary arteries. Genistein, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, attenuated both the initial and the sustained contractions. Aminogenistein and tyrphostin 51, specific inhibitors of tyrosine kinases, had the same effects as genistein. Exposure of pulmonary arteries to H2O2 for 1 h caused a significant reduction in the contractile response to KCl or phenylephrine and in the vasodilatory response to acetylcholine (smooth muscle dysfunction). Although tyrosine kinase inhibitors significantly blocked contractions induced by H2O2, pretreatment of pulmonary arteries with these inhibitors before H2O2 exposure did not prevent the decreases in responses to KCl, phenylephrine, or acetylcholine. Removal of extracellular Ca2+ and depletion of intracellular Ca2+ pools by ryanodine or thapsigargin did not inhibit the initial and sustained contractions in response to H2O2. W-7, a calmodulin antagonist, or ML-9, a myosin light chain kinase inhibitor, significantly inhibited the sustained contractions but did not prevent smooth muscle dysfunction induced by H2O2. These data show that 1) exposure to H2O2 causes smooth muscle contractions and dysfunction in isolated pulmonary arteries and 2) activation of tyrosine kinases mediates H2O2-induced contractions; however, tyrosine kinases do not appear to be involved in H2O2-induced inhibition of arterial responses to vasoactive substances. These data suggest that different signaling pathways and mechanisms are involved in H2O2-induced smooth muscle contraction and dysfunction.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a hematological malignancy characterized by plasma cells’ uncontrolled growth. The major barrier in treating MM is the occurrence of primary and acquired therapy resistance to anticancer drugs. Often, this therapy resistance is associated with constitutive hyperactivation of tyrosine kinase signaling. Novel covalent kinase inhibitors, such as the clinically approved BTK inhibitor ibrutinib (IBR) and the preclinical phytochemical withaferin A (WA), have, therefore, gained pharmaceutical interest. Remarkably, WA is more effective than IBR in killing BTK-overexpressing glucocorticoid (GC)-resistant MM1R cells. To further characterize the kinase inhibitor profiles of WA and IBR in GC-resistant MM cells, we applied phosphopeptidome- and transcriptome-specific tyrosine kinome profiling. In contrast to IBR, WA was found to reverse BTK overexpression in GC-resistant MM1R cells. Furthermore, WA-induced cell death involves covalent cysteine targeting of Hinge-6 domain type tyrosine kinases of the kinase cysteinome classification, including inhibition of the hyperactivated BTK. Covalent interaction between WA and BTK could further be confirmed by biotin-based affinity purification and confocal microscopy. Similarly, molecular modeling suggests WA preferably targets conserved cysteines in the Hinge-6 region of the kinase cysteinome classification, favoring inhibition of multiple B-cell receptors (BCR) family kinases. Altogether, we show that WA’s promiscuous inhibition of multiple BTK family tyrosine kinases represents a highly effective strategy to overcome GC-therapy resistance in MM.

Cholecystokinin (CCK) and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) stimulate enzyme secretion from pancreatic acini by binding to heptahelical receptors without intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity. Signal transduction by the CCK receptor involves activation of phospholipase C by Gq proteins and activation of tyrosine kinases, whereas occupation of VIP receptors stimulates adenylyl cyclase through binding to Gs proteins. Here, we use electrophoretic separation of cellular proteins and antiphosphotyrosine immunoblotting to demonstrate a VIP-stimulated rapid and dose-dependent increase in tyrosine phosphorylation of proteins migrating at 130, 115, and 93 kDa in freshly isolated rat pancreatic acini. Phosphorylation of these proteins was increased after direct stimulation of adenylyl cyclase or the adenosine 3′,5′-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP)-dependent protein kinase with forskolin or dibutyryl cAMP and was inhibited by the tyrosine kinase inhibitors genistein or tyrphostin 23. Compared with VIP, CCK stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of additional proteins migrating at 60, 66, and 72/78 kDa. Using two-dimensional electrophoretic separation or immunoprecipitation, the 72/78-kDa phosphoprotein was identified as paxillin. We propose that paxillin might be involved in CCK- but not in VIP-induced exocytosis.

Angiotensin Converting Enzyme 2

A group of clinically approved cancer therapeutic tyrosine kinase inhibitors was screened to test their effects on the expression of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), the cell surface receptor for SARS-CoV-2. Here, we show that the receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor imatinib (also known as STI571, Gleevec) can inhibit the expression of the endogenous ACE2 gene at both the transcript and protein levels. Treatment with imatinib resulted in inhibition of cell entry of the viral pseudoparticles (Vpps) in cell culture. In FVB mice orally fed imatinib, tissue expression of ACE2 was reduced, specifically in the lungs and renal tubules, but not in the parenchyma of other organs such as the heart and intestine. Our finding suggests that receptor tyrosine kinases play a role in COVID-19 infection and can be therapeutic targets with combined treatments of the best conventional care of COVID-19.
