β₂-adrenergic receptor promotes liver regeneration partially through crosstalk with c-met.

ABSTRACT: The β₂-adrenergic receptor (β₂AR) is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that mediates the majority of cellular responses to external stimuli. Aberrant expression of β₂AR results in various pathophysiological disorders, including tumorigenesis, but little is known about its role in liver regeneration. This study aims to investigate the impact and the underlying mechanism of β₂AR in liver regeneration. Here, we found that β₂AR was upregulated during liver regeneration induced by 70% PH. Deletion of β₂AR in mice resulted in 62% mortality 2 days post-PH, decreased proliferative marker expression and impaired liver function throughout regeneration. Moreover, AAV8-mediated overexpression of β₂AR in hepatocytes accelerated the regeneration process and increased target gene expression. Mechanistically, β₂AR recruited G-protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2) to the membrane and then formed a complex with c-met to transactivate c-met signaling, which triggered downstream extracellular regulated protein kinase (ERK) signaling activation and nuclear translocation. Inhibition of c-met with SU11274 or ERK with U0126 decreased β₂AR overexpression-induced hepatocyte proliferation. Our findings revealed that β₂AR might act as a critical mediator regulating liver regeneration by crosstalk with c-met and activation of ERK signaling.

Project description:Cardiac hypertrophy is a context-dependent phenomenon wherein a myriad of biochemical and biomechanical factors regulate myocardial growth through a complex large-scale signaling network. Although numerous studies have investigated hypertrophic signaling pathways, less is known about hypertrophy signaling as a whole network and how this network acts in a context-dependent manner. Here, we developed a systematic approach, CLASSED (Context-specific Logic-bASed Signaling nEtwork Development), to revise a large-scale signaling model based on context-specific data and identify main reactions and new crosstalks regulating context-specific response. CLASSED involves four sequential stages with an automated validation module as a core which builds a logic-based ODE model from the interaction graph and outputs the model validation percent. The context-specific model is developed by estimation of default parameters, classified qualitative validation, hybrid Morris-Sobol global sensitivity analysis, and discovery of missing context-dependent crosstalks. Applying this pipeline to our prior-knowledge hypertrophy network with context-specific data revealed key signaling reactions which distinctly regulate cell response to isoproterenol, phenylephrine, angiotensin II and stretch. Furthermore, with CLASSED we developed a context-specific model of β-adrenergic cardiac hypertrophy. The model predicted new crosstalks between calcium/calmodulin-dependent pathways and upstream signaling of Ras in the ISO-specific context. Experiments in cardiomyocytes validated the model's predictions on the role of CaMKII-Gβγ and CaN-Gβγ interactions in mediating hypertrophic signals in ISO-specific context and revealed a difference in the phosphorylation magnitude and translocation of ERK1/2 between cardiac myocytes and fibroblasts. CLASSED is a systematic approach for developing context-specific large-scale signaling networks, yielding insights into new-found crosstalks in β-adrenergic cardiac hypertrophy.
