Cryopreservation negatively affects equine sperm quality post-thaw: an excessive release of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and increased protein tyrosine phosphorylation (known as cryocapacitation) have been demonstrated in frozenthawed equine sperm diminishing its lifespan. The objective of this study was to determine the possible beneficial effect of genistein addition (a ROS scavenger and protein tyrosine kinase inhibitor) to a commercial freezing extender. Equine sperm were frozen in the presence of different genistein concentrations ranging from 0 to 800 μM. After thawing, the sperm viability (eosinnigrosin), acrosome integrity using peanut agglutinin (PNA), protein tyrosine phosphorylation (PY) and motility were assessed at times 0 and 1 hr. In addition PY was studied in fresh and frozen sperm incubated in Modified Whitten’s (MW) medium with 25 mM Bicarbonate (MW+Bic). Genistein did not affect the viability, total or progressive motility or acrosome status of frozenthawed equine sperm. Immediately after thawing, positive PY staining in the equatorial band was observed and genistein addition did not exert any change in PY. Fresh sperm incubated in MW+Bic showed a significant increase in PY staining along the tail compared to frozen-thawed sperm. In our study sperm viability immediately post-thaw was 58.25% ± 5.35 and progressive motility 14.46% ± 5.7 (mean ± S.E.M.) and genistein did not improve the post-thaw quality of equine sperm. In addition, cryopreservation did not induce PY immediately post-thaw or enhanced frozen-thawed equine sperm susceptibility to PY induction.

SUMMARYMolecular interplay during snail-schistosome interactions is poorly understood and there is much to discover concerning the effect of snail host molecules on molecular processes in schistosomes. Using the Biomphalaria glabrata – Schistosoma mansoni host-parasite system, the effects of exposure to haemolymph, derived from schistosome-resistant and susceptible snail strains, on protein tyrosine phosphorylation in miracidia have been investigated. Western blotting revealed several tyrosine phosphorylated proteins in this larval stage. Exposure of miracidia to haemolymph from susceptible snails for 60 min resulted in a striking, 5-fold, increase in the tyrosine phosphorylation of a 56 kDa (p56) S. mansoni protein. In contrast, haemolymph from resistant snails had little effect on protein tyrosine phosphorylation levels in miracidia. Confocal microscopy revealed that tyrosine phosphorylation was predominantly associated with proteins present in the tegument. Finally, treatment of miracidia with the tyrosine kinase inhibitor genistein significantly impaired their development into primary sporocysts. The results open avenues for research that focus on the potential importance of phospho-p56 to the outcome of schistosome infection in snails, and the significance of protein tyrosine kinase-mediated signalling events to the transformation of S. mansoni larvae.

Neutrophils express several receptors for the Fc region of IgG molecules. Specific cross-linking of the type II receptor (Fc gamma RII) can be achieved by treating neutrophils with the Fab fragment of a specific monoclonal antibody IV.3 against the receptor followed by goat anti-mouse IgG F(ab′)2 fragment. Such treatment initiates a number of neutrophil responses including the release of O2-. and increased protein tyrosine phosphorylation. The increase in tyrosine phosphorylation is rapid and transient and correlates with O2-. release. Both responses are inhibited by pretreatment of neutrophils with a protein tyrosine kinase inhibitor, genistein. The increase in protein tyrosine phosphorylation is not inhibited by pretreatment of neutrophils with pertussis toxin or an intracellular Ca2+ chelator, but is enhanced by a phosphoprotein phosphatase inhibitor, okadaic acid. The activity of a neutrophil Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CAMPKII) is also stimulated by cross-linking Fc gamma RII. The increase in CAMPKII activity is inhibited by pretreatment with either genistein or Ca2+ chelator. The results suggest that the increase in protein tyrosine phosphorylation induced by cross-linking of Fc gamma RII requires neither pertussis-toxin-sensitive G-proteins nor a rise in intracellular Ca2+ but can be regulated by protein phosphatases. Furthermore, protein tyrosine phosphorylation may be an early signal functionally linked to Fc gamma RII-mediated signal transduction leading to CAMPKII activation and O2-. release in human neutrophils.

SummaryIt has been demonstrated that activation of platelets by platelet-activating factor (PAF) results in a dramatic increase in tyrosine phosphorylation of several cellular proteins. We report here that p72 syk is a potential candidate for the protein-tyrosine phosphorylation following PAF stimulation in porcine platelets. Immunoprecipitation kinase assay revealed that PAF stimulation resulted in a rapid activation of p72 syk which peaked at 10 s. The level of activation was found to be dose dependent and could be completely inhibited by the PAF receptor antagonist, CV3988. Phosphorylation at the tyrosine residues of p72 syk coincided with activation of yllsyk. Pretreatment of platelets with aspirin and apyrase did not affect PAF induced activation of p72 syk .Furthermore, genistein, a potent protein-tyrosine-kinase inhibitor, diminished PAF-induced p72 syk activation and Ca2+ mobilization as well as platelet aggregation. These results suggest that p72 syk may play a critical role in PAF-induced aggregation, possibly through regulation of Ca2+ mobilization.

Porcine sperm are extremely sensitive to the damaging effects of cold shock and cryopreservation. Cholesterol-binding molecules, such as 2-hydroxypropyl-�-cyclodextrin (HBCD), improve post-thaw and post-cooling porcine sperm viability when added to an egg yolk-based extender, but also enhance sperm capacitation in other species. Depending upon the environmental cholesterol content, HBCD can act either as a cholesterol shuttle or sink to increase or decrease, respectively, sperm plasma membrane cholesterol content. Increasing the sperm cholesterol to phospholipid ratio reduces cold shock sensitivity whereas decreasing the ratio initiates the process of sperm capacitation. An increase in protein tyrosine phosphorylation correlates with sperm capacitation and has been shown to be dependent upon the presence of extracellular calcium. Sperm intracellular calcium also increases during cold shock. The objective of this study was to determine the combined effects of extracellular calcium and membrane cholesterol manipulation on porcine sperm viability and protein tyrosine phosphorylation following cold shock (10�C for 10 min). Viability was assessed using CFDA/propidium iodide staining. Protein tyrosine phosphorylation, previously shown to correlate with porcine sperm capacitation, was evaluated via antiphosphotyrosine (clone 4G10) immunoblots. We report here that following cold shock, porcine sperm incubated in defined medium containing both 0.8 mM HBCD and 0.5 mM cholesterol 3-sulfate (ChS) incubated in the absence of added extracellular calcium and the presence of 6 mM EGTA have significantly improved viability (90.5 � 6.3%, n = 3) when compared with cold-shocked sperm incubated in either the same medium with calcium (46.1 � 3.8%), without HBCD or ChS (26.5 � 7.4% with calcium; 46.5 � 13.1% without calcium), or with HBCD alone (17.0 � 7.4% with calcium, 36.8 � 7.5% without calcium). As we have found previously, treatment with 0.8 mM HBCD plus 0.5 mM ChS completely inhibited the increase in protein tyrosine phosphorylation induced by the cold shock treatment. Although protein tyrosine phosphorylation correlates with porcine sperm capacitation, the ability of cold shock treatment to induce the same phosphorylation pattern indicates that other processes or pathways may contribute to its appearance. Removing extracellular calcium consistently decreased, but did not completely eliminate, the protein tyrosine phosphorylation induced by cold shock. These results indicate that cold shock-induced protein tyrosine phosphorylation is not dependent upon, but can be modulated by, extracellular calcium. The combined effects of calcium, HBCD and ChS on viability suggest that porcine sperm viability following cold shock is best maintained by removing extracellular calcium and increasing membrane cholesterol content via the cholesterol shuttle activity of HBCD.

The Relationship

Protein-tyrosine phosphorylation, which is catalyzed by protein-tyrosine kinase (PTK), plays a pivotal role in a variety of cellular functions related to health and disease. The discovery of the viral oncogene Src (v-Src) and its cellular nontransforming counterpart (c-Src), as the first example of PTK, has opened a window to study the relationship between protein-tyrosine phosphorylation and the biology and medicine of cancer. In this paper, we focus on the roles played by Src and other PTKs in cancer cell-specific behavior, that is, evasion of apoptosis or cell death under stressful extracellular and/or intracellular microenvironments (i.e., hypoxia, anoikis, hypoglycemia, and serum deprivation).

Constitutive Secretion

Serum albumin secretion from rat hepatocytes proceeds via the constitutive pathway. Although much is known about the role of protein tyrosine phosphorylation in regulated secretion, nothing is known about its function in the constitutive process. Here we show that albumin secretion is inhibited by the tyrosine kinase inhibitor genistein but relatively insensitive to subtype-selective inhibitors or treatments. Secretion is also blocked in a physiologically identical manner by the tyrosine phosphatase inhibitors pervanadate and bisperoxo(1,10-phenanthroline)-oxovanadate. Inhibition of either the kinase(s) or phosphatase(s) leads to the accumulation of albumin between the trans-Golgi and the plasma membrane, whereas the immediate precursor proalbumin builds up in a proximal compartment. The trans-Golgi marker TGN38 is rapidly dispersed under conditions that inhibit tyrosine phosphatase action, whereas the distribution of the cis-Golgi marker GM130 is insensitive to genistein or pervanadate. By using a specifically reactive biotinylation probe, we detected protein tyrosine phosphatases in highly purified rat liver Golgi membranes. These membranes also contain both endogenous tyrosine kinases and their substrates, indicating that enzymes and substrates for reversible tyrosine phosphorylation are normal membrane-resident components of this trafficking compartment. In the absence of perturbation of actin filaments and microtubules, we conclude that reversible protein tyrosine phosphorylation in the trans-Golgi network is essential for albumin secretion and propose that the constitutive secretion of albumin is in fact a regulated process.

Abstract NNKY5-5, an IgG monoclonal antibody directed against the von Willebrand factor-binding domain of glycoprotein (GP) Ibα, induced weak but irreversible aggregation (or association) of platelets in citrate-anticoagulated platelet-rich plasma. This phenomenon was defined as small aggregate formation (SAF ). Platelets in hirudin-anticoagulated plasma or washed platelets showed little response to NNKY5-5 alone, but the antibody potentiated aggregation induced by low concentrations of adenosine diphosphate or platelet-activating factor. NNKY5-5 did not induce granule release or intracellular Ca2+ mobilization. However, NNKY5-5 caused tyrosine phosphorylation of a 64-kD protein and activation of a tyrosine kinase, p72syk. An anti-FcγII receptor antibody had no effect on SAF, suggesting that NNKY5-5 activated platelets by interacting with glycoprotein Ib. Fab′ fragments of NNKY5-5 did not induce SAF, but potentiated aggregation induced by other agonists. The Fab′ fragment of NNKY5-5 induced the activation of p72syk, suggesting that such activation was independent of the FcγII receptor. Cross-linking of the receptor-bound Fab′ fragment of NNKY5-5 with a secondary antibody induced SAF. GRGDS peptide, chelation of extracellular Ca2+, and an anti-GPIIb/IIIa antibody inhibited NNKY5-5-induced SAF, but had no effect on 64-kD protein tyrosine phosphorylation or p72syk activations. Various inhibitors, including aspirin and protein kinase C, had no effect on SAF, protein tyrosine phosphorylation, or p72syk activation. In contrast, tyrphostin 47, a potent tyrosine kinase inhibitor, inhibited NNKY5-5–induced SAF as well as tyrosine phosphorylation and p72syk activation. Our findings suggest that binding of NNKY5-5 to GPIb potentiates platelet aggregation by facilitating the interaction between fibrinogen and GPIIb/IIIa through a mechanism associated with p72syk activation and tyrosine phosphorylation of a 64-kD protein.

Stimulation of adherent human neutrophils (PMN) with tumor necrosis factor (TNF) triggers protein tyrosine phosphorylation (Fuortes, M., W. W. Jin, and C. Nathan. 1993. J. Cell Biol. 120:777-784). We investigated the dependence of this response on beta 2 integrins by using PMN isolated from a leukocyte adhesion deficiency (LAD) patient, which do not express beta 2 integrins, and by plating PMN on surface bound anti-beta 2 (CD18) antibodies. Protein tyrosine phosphorylation increased in PMN plated on fibrinogen and this phosphorylation was enhanced by TNF. Triggering of protein tyrosine phosphorylation did not occur in LAD PMN plated on fibrinogen either in the absence or the presence of TNF. Surface bound anti-CD18, but not isotype-matched anti-Class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC) antigens, antibodies triggered tyrosine phosphorylation in normal, but not in LAD PMN. As the major tyrosine phosphorylated proteins we found in our assay conditions migrated with an apparent molecular mass of 56-60 kD, we investigated whether beta 2 integrins are implicated in activation of members of the src family of intracellular protein-tyrosine kinases. We found that the fgr protein-tyrosine kinase (p58fgr) activity, and its extent of phosphorylation in tyrosine, in PMN adherent to fibrinogen, was enhanced by TNF. Activation of p58fgr in response to TNF was evident within 10 min of treatment and increased with times up to 30 min. Also other activators of beta 2 integrins such as phorbol-12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), and formyl methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP), induced activation of p58fgr kinase activity. Activation of p58fgr kinase activity, and phosphorylation in tyrosine, did not occur in PMN of a LAD patient in response to TNF. Soluble anti-CD18, but not anti-Class I MHC antigens, antibodies inhibited activation of p58fgr kinase activity in PMN adherent to fibrinogen in response to TNF, PMA, and FMLP. These findings demonstrate that, in PMN, beta 2 integrins are implicated in triggering of protein tyrosine phosphorylation, and establish a link between beta 2 integrin-dependent adhesion and the protein tyrosine kinase fgr in cell signaling.

Among its diverse biological actions, the vasoactive peptide bradykinin (BK) induces the transcription factor AP-1 and proliferation of mesangial cells (S. S. El-Dahr, S. Dipp, I. V. Yosipiv, and W. H. Baricos. Kidney Int. 50: 1850–1855, 1996). In the present study, we examined the role of protein tyrosine phosphorylation and the mitogen-activated protein kinases, ERK1/2,in mediating BK-induced AP-1 and DNA replication in cultured rat mesangial cells. BK (10−9 to 10−7 M) stimulated a rapid increase in tyrosine phosphorylation of multiple proteins with an estimated molecular mass of 120–130, 90–95, and 44–42 kDa. Immunoblots using antibodies specific for ERK or tyrosine-phosphorylated ERK revealed a shifting of p42 ERK2 to a higher molecular weight that correlated temporally with an increase in tyrosine-phosphorylated ERK2. Genistein, a specific tyrosine kinase inhibitor, prevented the phosphorylation of ERK2 by BK. In-gel kinase assays indicated that BK-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of ERK2 is accompanied by fourfold activation of its phosphotransferase activity toward the substrate PHAS-I ( P < 0.05). Furthermore, BK stimulated a 2.5-fold increase ( P < 0.05) in phosphorylation of Elk-1, a transcription factor required for growth factor-induced c-fos transcription. In accord with the stimulation of Elk-1 phosphorylation, BK induced c-fos gene expression and the production of Fos/AP-1 complexes. In addition, thymidine incorporation into DNA increased twofold ( P < 0.05) following BK stimulation. Each of these effects was blocked by tyrosine kinase inhibition with genistein or herbimycin A. Similarly, antisense oligodeoxynucleotide targeting of ERK1/2 mRNA inhibited BK-stimulated DNA synthesis. In contrast, protein kinase C inhibition or depletion had no effect on BK-induced c-fos mRNA, AP-1-DNA binding activity, or DNA synthesis. Collectively, these data demonstrate that BK activates the ERK→Elk-1→AP-1 pathway and that BK mitogenic signaling is critically dependent on protein tyrosine phosphorylation.

Protein tyrosine phosphorylation in rabbit peritoneal neutrophils was examined by immunoblotting with antibodies specific for phosphotyrosine. Stimulation of the neutrophils with chemotactic factor fMet-Leu-Phe (10 nM) caused rapid increases of tyrosine phosphorylation of several proteins with apparent molecular masses of (Group A) 54-58 kDa and 100-125 kDa and (Group B) 36-41 kDa. Stimulation of Group A proteins was observed by fMet-Leu-Phe (10 nM, maximum at 20 s) and A23187 (1 microM, 1 min). Stimulation of Group B proteins was observed by fMet-Leu-Phe (ED50 0.15 nM, 1 min), leukotriene B4 (ED50 0.15 nM, 1 min), phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) (ED50 25 ng/ml, 10 min) and partially by ionophore A23187 (1 microM, 1 min). Pretreatment of the cell with the protein kinase inhibitor H-7 (25 microM, 5 min) and PMA (0.1 microgram/ml, 3 min) partially inhibited the fMet-Leu-Phe effect. However, pretreatment of the cells with quin 2/AM (20 microM, 10 min) completely inhibited the fMet-Leu-Phe effect. The results indicate that rapid regulation of tyrosine phosphorylation is an early event occurring in stimulated neutrophils. Furthermore the effect of fMet-Leu-Phe on tyrosine phosphorylation may require Ca2+ mobilization and may partially require the activity of H-7-sensitive protein kinases.
