Human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and interleukin-3 (IL-3) exert multiple effects on the proliferation, differentiation, and function of myeloid lineage cells through their interaction with specific cell-surface receptors. There is a considerable degree of overlap in the biological effects of these two growth factors, but little is known about the mechanisms of postreceptor signal transduction. We have investigated the effects of GM-CSF and IL-3 on protein tyrosine-kinase activity in a human cell line, MO7E, which proliferates in response to either factor. Tyrosine- kinase activity was detected using immunoblotting with a monoclonal antibody (MoAb) specific for phosphotyrosine. GM-CSF and IL-3 were found to induce a nearly identical pattern of protein tyrosine phosphorylation using both one- and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Tyrosine phosphorylation of two cytosolic proteins in particular was increased more than 10-fold, a 93-Kd protein (pp93) and a 70-Kd protein (pp70). Tyrosine phosphorylation of pp93 and pp70 was observed within 1 minute, reached a maximum at 5 to 15 minutes, and gradually decreased thereafter. Other proteins of 150, 125, 63, 55, 42, and 36 Kd were also phosphorylated on tyrosine in response to both GM- CSF and IL-3, although to a lesser degree. Tyrosine phosphorylation was dependent on the concentration of GM-CSF over the range of 0.1 to 10 ng/mL and on IL-3 over the range of 1 to 30 ng/mL. Stimulation of MO7E cells with 12–0-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) or cytokines such as G-CSF, M-CSF, interleukin-1 (IL-1), interleukin-4 (IL-4), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interferon gamma, tumor necrosis factor (TNF), or transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) did not induce tyrosine phosphorylation of pp93 or pp70, suggesting that these two phosphoproteins are specific for GM-CSF-or IL-3-induced activation. The extent and duration of phosphorylation of all the substrates were increased by pretreatment of cells with vanadate, an inhibitor of protein-tyrosine phosphatases. Importantly, culture of MO7E cells with vanadate (up to 10 mumol/L) resulted in a dose-dependent increase in GM- CSF-or IL-3-induced proliferation of up to 1.8-fold. These results suggest that tyrosine phosphorylation may be important for GM-CSF and IL-3 receptor-mediated signal transduction and that cell proliferation may be, at least partially, regulated by a balance between CSF-induced protein-tyrosine kinase activity and protein-tyrosine phosphatase activity.

Abstract Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) exerts its biologic activities through binding to specific high-affinity cell surface receptors. After binding, the ligand/receptor complex is rapidly internalized in most hematopoietic cells. Using a human factor- dependent cell line, MO7, and normal human neutrophils, we found that the internalization is exquisitely temperature-dependent, such that ligand/receptor internalization does not detectably occur at 4 degrees C. Activation of the GM-CSF receptor has previously been shown to stimulate a number of postreceptor signal transduction pathways, including activation of a tyrosine kinase and activation of the serine/threonine kinase, Raf-1. The GM-CSF-stimulated increase in tyrosine kinase activity occurs rapidly at both 4 degrees C and 37 degrees C, and therefore is likely to be independent of receptor internalization. At 37 degrees C, the protein tyrosine phosphorylation was transient in MO7 cells, with maximum phosphorylation observed after 5 to 15 minutes, followed by a rapid decline. At 4 degrees C, the protein tyrosine phosphorylation of the same substrates was greater than at 37 degrees C, and no decline in substrate phosphorylation was observed for at least 90 minutes. In contrast to tyrosine phosphorylation, the activation and hyper-phosphorylation of Raf-1 observed at 37 degrees C in both MO7 cells and neutrophils was markedly diminished at 4 degrees C. These results indicate that at least one postreceptor signal transduction mechanism, activation of a tyrosine kinase, does not require ligand/receptor internalization, and indicate that receptor internalization may be a consequence, rather than the initiator, of signal transduction.

Receptors of the hematopoietin superfamily, including the granulocyte- macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) receptor, lack a tyrosine kinase domain as well as other sequences indicative of a known signaling mechanism. In this report, we identify the serine/threonine kinase, microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2) kinase, as an intermediate in the GM-CSF signal transduction pathway. Treatment of peripheral blood neutrophils or terminally differentiated HL-60 cells with GM-CSF induced a rapid and dose-dependent increase in MAP2 kinase activity. Maximal activity occurred within 5 minutes and the kinetics of the response varied depending on the target cell (prolonged in neutrophils and transient in neutrophilic HL-60 cells). MAP2 kinase activity in these cells correlates with the induction of a 42-Kd tyrosine phosphoprotein. Furthermore, tyrosine phosphorylation is necessary for MAP2 kinase activation since its activity is inhibited by treatment with the tyrosine kinase inhibitor, erbstatin analog. These data suggest that tyrosine phosphorylation is important in GM-CSF- mediated signal transduction and that MAP2 kinase activation may be a central biochemical event involved in its signaling.

The human myeloid cell line HL-60 expresses approximately 300 high- affinity granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor receptors (GM- CSFRs), yet treatment of these cells with GM-CSF does not result in enhanced cellular proliferation or increases in protein tyrosine phosphorylation. In contrast, GM-CSF induces rapid increases in protein tyrosine phosphorylation and proliferative responses in HL-60 cells pretreated for 3 days in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). Similarly, HL-60 cells pretreated with retinoic acid or 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D3 were also capable of responding to GM-CSF. Interestingly, each of these treatments resulted in increased expression of the src-like tyrosine kinase hck. Stimulation with GM-CSF increased hck autophosphorylation in DMSO-treated HL-60 cells, suggesting that hck is a component of the GM-CSF signal transduction pathway. To determine if hck has a role in the DMSO-induced recoupling of the GM-CSFR, we overexpressed hck in HL- 60 cells. The resulting cell line (HL-60/hck) expresses hck mRNA and protein at levels comparable with DMSO-treated HL-60 cells. Stimulation of HL-60/hck cells with GM-CSF results in activation of hck, increases in protein tyrosine phosphorylation, and increased proliferation. These results show that cytokine receptors can exist in an uncoupled form and suggest that in HL-60 cells, appropriate levels of the src-like tyrosine kinase hck are critical for functional coupling of the GM-CSFR to biologic responses.

✓ Stimulation of three human glioma cell lines with basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) led to the enhancement of cell growth and the rapid tyrosine phosphorylation of cellular proteins, including major substrates of 90 kD. A methyltransferase inhibitor, 5′-methylthioadenosine (MTA), inhibited dose dependently the bFGF-stimulated cell growth and protein tyrosine phosphorylation in glioma cells by blocking both receptor autophosphorylation and substrate phosphorylation, as shown by immunoblotting with antiphosphotyrosine antibodies and cross-linking bFGF to receptors. The antiproliferative activity of MTA correlated quantitatively with its potency as an inhibitor of bFGF-stimulated protein tyrosine kinase activity. The methyltransferase inhibitor MTA had no effect on either epidermal growth factor— or platelet-derived growth factor—stimulated protein tyrosine phosphorylation in glioma cells, but inhibited specifically bFGF-stimulated protein tyrosine kinase activity. The concentration of MTA required for inhibition of protein methylation correlated well with the concentration required for inhibition of bFGF-stimulated cell growth and protein tyrosine phosphorylation. Because MTA had no effect on numbers and dissociation constants of high- and low-affinity bFGF receptors, the inhibition of bFGF-stimulated bFGF receptor tyrosine kinase activity is not likely to be the result of a reduction in bFGF receptor and bFGF binding capacity. In fact, MTA delayed and reduced the internalization and nuclear translocation of bFGF, and the internalized bFGF was submitted to a limited proteolysis that converted it to lower molecular peptides whose presence remained for at least 22 hours. The effect of MTA on bFGF-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation was immediate and readily reversible.

Protein tyrosine kinase activity was assayed in a variety of chicken tissues during embryonic development and in the adult. In some tissues protein tyrosine kinase activity decreased during embryonic development; however, in other tissues it remained high throughout development, it contrast to the level of protein tyrosine phosphorylation, which decreased during development. The highest levels of tyrosine kinase activity were detected in 17-d embryonic brain although only low levels of protein tyrosine phosphorylation were observed in this tissue. Several alternatives were examined in an effort to determine the mechanism responsible for the low levels of tyrosine phosphorylated proteins in most older embryonic and adult chicken tissues despite the presence of highly active tyrosine kinases. The results show that the regulation of protein tyrosine phosphorylation during embryonic development is complex and varies from tissue to tissue. Furthermore, the results suggest that protein tyrosine phosphatases play an important role in regulating the level of phosphotyrosine in proteins of many older embryonic and adult tissues.
