Abstract:
:Mesothelioma is a unique and insidious tumor associated historically with occupational exposure to asbestos. The transcription factor, activator protein-1 (AP-1) is a major target of asbestos-induced signaling pathways. Here, we demonstrate that asbestos-induced mesothelial cell transformation is linked to increases in AP-1 DNA binding complexes and the AP-1 component, Fra-1. AP-1 binding to DNA was increased dramatically in mesothelioma cell lines in comparison to isolated rat pleural mesothelial (RPM) cells. Elevated levels of AP-1 complexes, including significant increases in c-Jun, JunB and Fra-1, were found in asbestos-exposed RPM cells, but only Fra-1 expression was significantly increased and protracted in both asbestos-exposed RPM cells and mesothelioma cell lines. Asbestos-induced Fra-1 expression in RPM cells was dependent on stimulation of the extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs 1/2). Inhibition of ERK phosphorylation or transfection with dominant-negative fra-1 constructs reversed the transformed phenotype of mesothelioma cells and anchorage-independent growth in soft agar. In summary, we demonstrate that ERK-dependent Fra-1 is elevated in AP-1 complexes in response to asbestos fibers and is critical to the transformation of mesothelial cells.
