In this study, we elucidated the role of PI-PLC during the LPS-activated mouse macrophages RAW264.7 treated with PI(3)K inhibitor wortmannin. First, wortmannin treatment enhanced Ins(1,4,5)P(3) production and iNOS expression in LPS-activated macrophages. Inhibition of PI(3)K by p85 siRNA also showed an enhancement of iNOS expression. On the other hand, overexpression of PI(3)K by ras-p110 expression plasmid significantly decreased iNOS expression in LPS-activated macrophages. In addition, overexpression of wild-type or dominant-negative Akt expression plasmid did not affect the iNOS expression in LPS-activated macrophages. Second, treatment of PI-PLC inhibitor U73122 reversed the enhancement of iNOS expression, the increase of phosphorylation level of ERK, JNK and p38, and the increase of AP-1-dependent gene expression in wortmannin-treated and LPS-activated macrophages. However, NF-kappaB activity determined by EMSA assay and reporter plasmid assay did not change during LPS-activated macrophages with or without wortmannin. We propose that the inhibition of PI(3)K by wortmannin in mouse macrophages enhances the PI-PLC downstream signals, and subsequently increases the LPS induction of iNOS expression independently of Akt pathway. ------>tmu_sno=None ------>sno=22278 ------>authors2=Hong-Jen Liang ------>authors3=Chien-Ho Chen ------>authors4=Shyr-Yi Lin ------>authors5=Wen-Bin Zhong ------>authors6=Feng-Ming Ho,Wen-Chi Hou,Jui-Lien-Lien Lo,Yuan-Soon Ho,Pei-Jung Lin,Ling-Fang Hung, Yu-Chih Liang ------>authors6_c= ------>authors=Der-Zen Liu ------>delete_flag=0 ------>SCI_JNo=None ------>authors2_c= ------>publish_area=0 ------>updateTitle=Switch activation of PI-PLC downstream signals in activated macrophages with wortmannin. ------>language=2 ------>check_flag=None ------>submit_date=None ------>country=None ------>no= ------>patent_SDate=None ------>update_bywho=None ------>publish_year=2007 ------>submit_flag=None ------>publish_month=3 |
