Abstract

G17 has growth promoting and antiapoptotic effects on the AR4-2J pancreatic acinar cell line. We previously reported that whereas MAPK regulates G17-stimulation of AR4-2J cell proliferation, Akt mediates the antiapoptotic action of G17. We examined the signal-transduction pathways mediating G17 stimulation of AR4-2J cell growth and survival. G17 activated the small GTP binding proteins Ras, Rac, Rho, and Cdc42. Transduction of the cells with adenoviral vectors expressing dominant negative Akt, Ras, Rho, and Cdc42 but not dominant negative Rac inhibited AR4-2J cell proliferation and survival. Both exoenzyme C3 from Clostridium botulinum (C3), a toxin known to inactivate Rho, and PD98059, a MAPK inhibitor, reversed G17 inhibition of AR4-2J cell apoptosis. G17 induction of Akt activation was reduced by >60% by both dominant negative Ras and Rho and by 30% by dominant negative Cdc42. In contrast, G17-stimulated MAPK activation was blocked by >80% by dominant negative Ras but not by dominant negative Rho and Cdc42. Similar results were observed in the presence of C3. Dominant negative Rac failed to affect G17 induction of both Akt and MAPK, whereas it inhibited sorbitol by almost 50% but not G17-stimulated activation of p38 kinase. ...Continue Reading
