Posttranslational regulation of cyclooxygenase by tyrosine phosphorylation in cerebral endothelial cells.

چکیده
Endothelium-derived cyclooxygenase (COX) products regulate cerebral vascular tone in newborn pigs. Both COX-1 and COX-2 are constitutively expressed in endothelial cells from newborn pig cerebral microvessels. We investigated the role of protein phosphorylation in the regulation of COX activity. The protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) inhibitors phenylarsine oxide, vanadate, and benzylphosphonic acid rapidly stimulated COX activity, whereas the protein tyrosine kinase inhibitors, genistein and tyrphostins, inhibited it. Protein synthesis inhibitors did not reverse the stimulation of COX activity evoked by PTP inhibitors. Similar changes were observed in other vascular cells from newborn pigs that also express COX-1 and COX-2 (cerebral microvascular smooth muscle cells and aortic endothelial cells) but not in human umbilical vein endothelial cells or Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts that express COX-1 only. Tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins were immunodetected in endothelial cell lysates. COX-2 immunoprecipitated from 32P-loaded endothelial cells incorporated 32P that was increased by PTP inhibitors. COX-2, but not COX-1, was detected in endothelial fractions immunoprecipitated with anti-phosphotyrosine. These data indicate that tyrosine phosphorylation posttranslationally regulates COX activity in newborn pig vascular cells and that COX-2 is a substrate for phosphorylation.

متن کاملRadiation-induced expression of platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 in cerebral endothelial cells
Background: Radiation-induced molecular changes on the endothelial surface of brain arteriovenous malformations (AVM) may be used as markers for specific vascular targeting agents. In this study, we examined the level of expression of platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1) on brain endothelial cell surface after radiation treatment, with the aim of targeting the radiation-induc...
متن کاملVGB3 Induces Apoptosis by Inhibiting Phosphorylation of NF-κB p65 at Serine 536 in the Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells
Background and objectives: Nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) inhibition results in an increase in apoptosis. It has been demonstrated that NF-κB subunit p65 phosphorylation at the IκB kinase phosphorylation site serine 536 (Ser536) is essential for the NF-κB nuclear translocation and activation. Therefore, NF-κB can be downregulated by suppressing its phosph...
متن کاملAbl Tyrosine Kinase Phosphorylates Nonmuscle Myosin Light Chain Kinase to Regulate Endothelial Barrier Function
Nonmuscle myosin light chain kinase (nmMLCK), a multi-functional cytoskeletal protein critical to vascular homeostasis, is highly regulated by tyrosine phosphorylation. We identified multiple novel c-Abl-mediated nmMLCK phosphorylation sites by mass spectroscopy analysis (including Y231, Y464, Y556, Y846) and examined their influence on nmMLCK function and human lung endothelial cell (EC) barri...
متن کاملRole of tyrosine phosphorylation in the regulation of cerebral vascular tone in newborn pig in vivo.
The role of tyrosine phosphorylation was investigated using protein tyrosine phosphatase inhibitors in newborn pigs equipped with a cranial window in vivo. We tested the hypothesis that cyclooxygenase and nitric oxide (NO) synthase are physiological targets for tyrosine phosphorylation in cerebral circulation. Phenylarsine oxide dilated pial arterioles and increased prostacyclin and prostagland...
