摘要

Bordetella pertussis generates a bacterial toxin utilized in signal transduction investigation because of its ability to ADP ribosylate specific G proteins. We previously noted that pertussis toxin (PTX) directly activates endothelial cells, resulting in disruption of monolayer integrity and intercellular gap formation via a signaling pathway that involves protein kinase C (PKC). We studied the effect of PTX on the activity of the 42- and 44-kDa extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK), members of a kinase family known to be activated by PKC. PTX caused a rapid time-dependent increase in bovine pulmonary artery endothelial cell ERK activity that was significantly attenuated by 1) pharmacological inhibition of MEK, the upstream ERK activating kinase, 2) an MEK dominant-negative construct, and 3) PKC inhibition with bisindolylmaleimide. There was little evidence for the involvement of either Gbetagamma-subunits, Ras GTPases, Raf-1, p60(src), or phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinases in PTX-mediated ERK activation. Both the purified beta-oligomer binding subunit of the PTX holotoxin and a PTX holotoxin mutant genetically engineered to eliminate intrinsic ADP ribosyltransferase activity completely reproduced PTX effects on ERK activation, suggesting that PTX-induced ERK activation involves a novel PKC-dependent signaling mechanism that is independent of either Ras or Raf-1 activities and does not require G protein ADP ribosylation.
