Abstract:
:The implication of MAP kinases in the proliferation control of pancreatic cancer cells is still unknown. This study was undertaken to examine the contribution of the p44/p42 and p38 MAP kinases in the mitogenic response to epidermal growth factor (EGF) and bombesin in human pancreatic cancer cells, MIA PaCa-2 and PANC-1. Data indicate that EGF and bombesin stimulated growth of both cell lines. In MIA PaCa-2 cells, EGF and bombesin stimulated the in gel activation of p38 while p44/p42 kinases exhibited high basal activity and no response to stimuli. Growth and p38 activation were inhibited by genistein, wortmannin, PD98059 and SB203580, specific inhibitors of tyrosine kinase, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, MEK-1 and p38 kinases, respectively. In PANC-1 cells, EGF and bombesin stimulated p42 in gel activation; p44 remained highly activated and unresponsive to stimuli and p38 did not respond. Stimulated growth and p42 activation were inhibited by genistein, wortmannin and PD98059. Estimation of MAPK activities with a specific anti-active MAP kinase antibody indicated, however, that EGF increased the intensity of the bands corresponding to p42 and p44 MAP kinases in both cell lines, indicating that the mitogenic factor can regulate MAP kinase activity. Data also pointed out that ATP is sufficient to increase MAP kinase activity within the in gel assay technique and may thus explain the discrepancies existing between the in gel assay data and those obtained with the anti-active MAP kinase antibody.
