Abstract
Regulation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family by gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) in the gonadotrope cell line LbetaT2 was investigated. Treatment with gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) activates extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase (JNK). Activation of ERK by GnRHa occurred within 5 min, and declined thereafter, whereas activation of JNK by GnRHa occurred with a different time frame, i.e. it was detectable at 5 min, reached a plateau at 30 min, and declined thereafter. GnRHa-induced ERK activation was dependent on protein kinase C or extracellular and intracellular Ca(2+), whereas GnRHa-induced JNK activation was not dependent on protein kinase C or on extracellular or intracellular Ca(2+). To determine whether a mitogen-activated protein kinase family cascade regulates rat luteinizing hormone beta (LHbeta) promoter activity, we transfected the rat LHbeta (-156 to +7)-luciferase construct into LbetaT2 cells. GnRH activated the rat LHbeta promoter activity in a time-dependent manner. Neither treatment with a mitogen-activated protein kinase/ERK kinase (MEK) inhibitor, PD98059, nor cotransfection with a catalytically inactive form of a mitogen-activated protein kinase construct inhibited the induction of the rat LHbeta promoter by GnRH. Furthermore, cotransfection with a dominant negative Ets had no effect on the response of the rat LHbeta promoter to GnRH. On the other hand, cotransfection with either dominant negative JNK or dominant negative c-Jun significantly inhibited the induction of the rat LHbeta promoter by GnRH. In addition, GnRH did not induce either the rat LHbeta promoter activity in LbetaT2 cells transfected stably with dominant negative c-Jun. These results suggest that GnRHa differentially activates ERK and JNK, and a JNK cascade is necessary to elicit the rat LHbeta promoter activity in a c-Jun-dependent mechanism in LbetaT2 cells.
