The extracellular signal-regulated kinase mitogen-activated protein kinase/ribosomal S6 protein kinase 1 cascade phosphorylates cAMP response element-binding protein to induce MUC5B gene expression via D-prostanoid receptor signaling.

ABSTRACT: Mucus hypersecretion is a prominent feature of respiratory diseases, and MUC5B is a major airway mucin. Mucin gene expression can be affected by inflammatory mediators, including prostaglandin (PG) D(2,) an inflammatory mediator synthesized by hematopoietic PGD synthase (H-PGDS). PGD(2) binds to either D-prostanoid receptor (DP1) or chemoattractant receptor homologous molecule expressed on T-helper type 2 cells (CRTH2). We investigated the mechanisms by which PGD(2) induces MUC5B gene expression in airway epithelial cells. Western blot analysis showed that H-PGDS was highly expressed in nasal polyps. Similar results were obtained for PGD(2) expression. In addition, we could clearly detect the expressions of both H-PGDS and DP1 in nasal epithelial cells but not CRTH2. We demonstrated that PGD(2) increased MUC5B gene expression in normal human nasal epithelial cells as well as in NCI-H292 cells in vitro. S5751, a DP1 antagonist, inhibited PGD(2)-induced MUC5B expression, whereas a CRTH2 antagonist (OC0459) did not. These data suggest that PGD(2) induced MUC5B expression via DP1. Pretreatment with extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) inhibitor (PD98059) blocked both PGD(2)-induced ERK mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation and MUC5B expression. Proximity ligation assays showed direct interaction between RSK1 and cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB). Stimulation with PGD(2) caused an increase in intracellular cAMP levels, whereas intracellular Ca(2+) did not have such an effect. PGD(2)-induced MUC5B mRNA levels were regulated by CREB via direct interaction with two cAMP-response element sites (-921/-914 and -900/-893). Finally, we demonstrated that PGD(2) can induce MUC5B overproduction via ERK MAPK/RSK1/CREB signaling and that DP1 receptor may have suppressive effects in controlling MUC5B overproduction in the airway.

Project description:Radiation biodosimetry based on transcriptomic analysis of peripheral blood is a valuable tool to detect radiation exposure after a radiological/nuclear event and obtain useful biological information that could predict tissue and organismal injury. However, confounding factors, including inflammation, can potentially obscure the predictive power of the method. The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) p38 is normally regulated by the MAP3K-MAP2K pathway in mammalian cells. Members of the p38 MAPK family respond to pro-inflammatory signals and environmental stresses. However, in T cells there is an alternative pathway for p38MAPK activation. This pathway has been shown to play an important role in antigen-receptor-activated T cells and participate in immune and inflammatory responses. Radiation is known to induce a pro-inflammatory response. To examine the role of p38MAPK in response to radiation, we used two mouse models expressing either a p38αMAPK dominant negative (DN) mutation that would be expected to globally suppress p38MAPK signaling or a double knock-in (DKI) mutant, which would be expected to inhibit specifically T cell receptor activation. We exposed wild-type and p38MAPK mutant mice to 7 Gy x-rays and 24 h later we isolated whole blood and performed genome microarray and gene ontology analysis. Comparison between the two mutants (DN, DKI) suggest that the alternative p38MAPK pathway may have wider functions in the response to radiation exposure beyond its well established role as a downstream effector of activated T-cell receptor. Among the differentially enriched pathways, irradiation leads to a significant overrepresentation of pathways associated with morbidity and mortality as well as organismal cell death. In contrast, these pathways were significantly underrepresented in p38MAPKDN and p38MAPKDKI mutant mice, implying that p38MAPK suppression protects mice from the deleterious effects of radiation. Furthermore, radiation exposure resulted in an enrichment of a small number of phagocytosis-related pathways; however, considerably more phagocytosis-related pathways were overrepresented in the p38MAPK mutant mice, implying that p38MAPK signaling, normally, restricts phagocytosis of apoptotic cells after radiation and may, thus, contribute to persistent inflammation. Finally, despite the significant changes in gene expression, we were still able to identify a panel of genes that could accurately distinguish between irradiated and control mice, irrespective of p38MAPK status.
