Abstract:
:We have previously shown that Compound 5 (Cpd 5), an inhibitor of protein phosphatase Cdc25A, inhibits Hep3B human hepatoma cell growth. We now show that hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), a hepatocyte growth stimulant, can strongly enhance Cpd 5-induced growth inhibition in Hep3B cells, and this enhancement in cell growth inhibition is correlated with a much stronger ERK phosphorylation when compared to cells treated with Cpd 5 or HGF separately. We found that HGF/Cpd 5-induced ERK phosphorylation and cell growth inhibition were mediated by Akt (protein kinase B) pathway, since combination HGF/Cpd 5 treatment of Hep3B cells inhibited Akt phosphorylation at Ser-473 and its kinase activity, which led to the suppression of Raf-1 phosphorylation at Ser-259. The suppression of Raf-1 Ser-259 phosphorylation caused the induction of Raf-1 kinase activity, as well as hyper-ERK phosphorylation. Transient transfection of Hep3B cells with dominant negative Akt c-DNA further enhanced both Cpd 5- and HGF/Cpd 5-induced ERK phosphorylation, while over-expression of wild-type Akt c-DNA diminished their effects. In contrast, HGF antagonized the growth inhibitory actions of Cpd 5 on normal rat hepatocytes, thus showing a selective effect on tumor cells compared to normal cells. Our data suggest that Akt kinase negatively regulates MAPK activity at the Akt-Raf level. Suppression of Akt activity by either combination HGF/Cpd 5 treatment or by dominant negative Akt c-DNA transfection antagonizes the Akt inhibitory effect on Raf-1, resulting in an enhancement of Cpd 5-induced MAPK activation and cell growth inhibition.
