Cytoskeletal reorganization of human platelets induced by the protein phosphatase 1/2 A inhibitors okadaic acid and calyculin A.
Okadaic acid (OA) and calyculin A (CLA), which are potent and specific inhibitors of serine/threonine protein phosphatases type 1 and 2A, have been shown to induce drastic changes in platelet morphology. The aim of this study was to analyse the molecular mechanisms of OA- or CLA-induced cytoskeletal reorganization, with a specific focus on microtubules and actin filaments. Confocal fluorescence...
متن کاملProtein phosphatase inhibitors okadaic acid and calyculin A alter cell shape and F-actin distribution and inhibit stimulus-dependent increases in cytoskeletal actin of human neutrophils.
The phosphatase inhibitors okadaic acid and calyculin A were found to elicit or to modify several neutrophil responses, suggesting that dephosphorylation plays a regulatory role. The concentrations of okadaic acid (> or = 1 mumol/L) that were effective on neutrophil functions (shape changes and marginal stimulation of pinocytosis) were shown to stimulate the incorporation of 32PO4 into many neu...
متن کاملEffect of the protein phosphatase inhibitors, okadaic acid and calyculin A, on dexamethasone-mediated inhibition of neutrophil apoptosis.
The onset of constitutive cell death by apoptosis in human neutrophils can be delayed by treatment with glucocorticosteroids such as dexamethasone [ 1-31. The mechanisms underlying this steroid-mediated prolongation of neutrophil survival are however unknown. Okadaic acid and calyculin A, specific and potent inhibitors of protein phosphatases 1 and 2A, have been shown to influence the rate of a...
متن کاملEffect of okadaic acid and calyculin-A, two protein phosphatase inhibitors, on thyrotropin-stimulated triiodothyronine secretion in cultured sheep thyroid cells.
We have studied the effect of two protein phosphatase inhibitors on thyrotropin (TSH)-stimulated triiodothyronine (T3) production by sheep thyroid cells grown in primary culture. Incubation of sheep thyrocytes with okadaic acid (OA) and calyculin-A (CL-A), two potent inhibitors of type 1 (PP1) and type 2A (PP2A) protein phosphatases, resulted in an increase of TSH-stimulated T3 production. This...
متن کاملActivation of p38 Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase and Mitochondrial Ca21-Mediated Oxidative Stress Are Essential for the Enhanced Expression of grp78 Induced by the Protein Phosphatase Inhibitors Okadaic Acid and Calyculin A
We have reported that treatment with okadaic acid, a potent protein phosphatase inhibitor, has the ability to enhance the synthesis of the 78-kDa glucose-regulated protein (GRP78). This article reports our investigation of another protein phosphatase inhibitor, calyculin A, demonstrating the signaling pathways elicited by the protein phosphatase inhibitors that lead to the induction of grp78. O...
