The Specific Mitogen- and Stress-Activated Protein Kinase MSK1 Inhibitor SB-747651A Modulates Chemokine-Induced Neutrophil Recruitment.

ABSTRACT: Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling is involved in a variety of cellular functions. MAPK-dependent functions rely on phosphorylation of target proteins such as mitogen- and stress-activated protein kinase 1 (MSK1). MSK1 participates in the early gene expression and in the production of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines. However, the role of MSK1 in neutrophil recruitment remains elusive. Here, we show that chemokine macrophage inflammatory protein-2 (CXCL2) enhances neutrophil MSK1 expression. Using intravital microscopy and time-lapsed video analysis of cremasteric microvasculature in mice, we studied the effect of pharmacological suppression of MSK1 by SB-747651A on CXCL2-elicited neutrophil recruitment. SB-747651A treatment enhanced CXCL2-induced neutrophil adhesion while temporally attenuating neutrophil emigration. CXCL2-induced intraluminal crawling was reduced following SB-747651A treatment. Fluorescence-activated cell sorting analysis of integrin expression revealed that SB-747651A treatment attenuated neutrophil integrin ?M?? (Mac-1) expression following CXCL2 stimulation. Both the transmigration time and detachment time of neutrophils from the venule were increased following SB-747651A treatment. It also decreased the velocity of neutrophil migration in cremasteric tissue in CXCL2 chemotactic gradient. SB-747651A treatment enhanced the extravasation of neutrophils in mouse peritoneal cavity not at 1-2 h but at 3-4 h following CXCL2 stimulation. Collectively, our data suggest that inhibition of MSK1 by SB-747651A treatment affects CXCL2-induced neutrophil recruitment by modulating various steps of the recruitment cascade in vivo.

Project description:Analysis of alterations in the hippocampus transcriptome caused by deletion of Mitogen Stress activated Kinase 1 (MSK1). MAPK signaling has been implicated in a wide range of neuronal processes, including development, plasticity and viability. One of the principal downstream targets of both the ERK/MAPK pathway and the p38 MAPK pathway is Mitogen Stress activated Kinase 1 (MSK1). Here, we sought to understand the role that MSK1 plays in neuroprotection against excitotoxic stimulation in the hippocampus. To this end, we utilized a MSK1 null mouse line, cell viability assays and array-based profiling approaches. Here we show that MSK1 is broadly expressed within the major neuronal cell layers of the hippocampus and that status epilepticus (SE) drives acute induction of MSK1 activation. In response to the SE paradigm, MSK1 KO mice exhibited a striking increase in vulnerability to pilocarpine-evoked cell death within the CA1 and CA3 cell layers. Further, cultured MSK1 null neurons exhibited a heighted level of NMDA-evoked excitotoxicity relative to WT neurons, as assessed using the LDH assay. Given these findings, we examined the hippocampal transcriptional profile of MSK1 null mice. Affymetrix array profiling revealed that with MSK1 deletion a total of 115 genes showed significant changes (> 1.25-fold) in expression. Notably, functional analysis indicated that a subset of these genes contribute to neuroprotective signaling networks. Together, these data provide important new insights into the mechanism by which the MAPK/MSK1 signaling cassette confers neuroprotection against excitotoxic insults. Approaches designed to upregulate or mimic the functional effects of MSK1 may prove beneficial against an array of degenerative processes resulting from excitotoxic insults.

Project description:In all eukaryotic kingdoms, mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) play critical roles in cellular responses to environmental cues. These MAPKs are activated by phosphorylation at highly conserved threonine and tyrosine residues in response to specific inputs, leading to their accumulation in the nucleus and the activation of their downstream targets. A specific MAP kinase can regulate different downstream targets depending on the nature of the input signal, thereby raising a key question: what defines the stress-specific outputs of MAP kinases? We find that the Hog1 MAPK contributes to nitrosative-stress resistance in Candida albicans even though it displays minimal stress-induced phosphorylation under these conditions. We show that Hog1 becomes oxidized in response to nitrosative stress, accumulates in the nucleus, and regulates the nitrosative stress-induced transcriptome. Mutation of specific cysteine residues revealed that C156 and C161 function together to promote stress resistance, Hog1-mediated nitrosative-stress-induced gene expression, resistance to phagocytic killing, and C. albicans virulence. We propose that the oxidation of Hog1, rather than its phosphorylation, contributes to the nitrosative-stress-specific responses of this MAP kinase.IMPORTANCE Mitogen-activated protein kinases play key roles in the responses of eukaryotic cells to extracellular signals and are critical for environmental-stress resistance. The widely accepted paradigm is that MAP kinases are activated by phosphorylation, which then triggers their nuclear accumulation and the activation of target proteins and genes that promote cellular adaptation. Our data suggest that alternative forms of posttranslational modification can modulate MAP kinase functionality in Candida albicans We demonstrate that Hog1 is not significantly phosphorylated in response to nitrosative stress, yet it displays nuclear accumulation and contributes to the global transcriptional response to this stress, as well as promoting nitrosative-stress resistance. Instead, nitrosative stress triggers changes in the redox status of Hog1. We also show that specific Hog1 cysteine residues influence its activation of stress genes. Therefore, alternative posttranslational modifications appear to regulate the stress-specific outputs of MAP kinases.
