Abstract

The arachidonic acid metabolite of 12 lipoxygenase, 12(S)-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (12(S)-HETE) promotes metastatic behavior of tumor cells (1). In this study we set out to identify 12(S)-HETE stimulated signaling pathways, and their contribution to cellular functions in A431 epidermoid carcinoma. 1) 12(S)-HETE signaling involves extracellular-regulated protein kinase (ERK1/2), protein kinase C (PKC), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3 kinase) and Src kinase. 2) 12(S)-HETE stimulates cell migration on laminin, which is eliminated by PKC and PI3 kinase inhibitors, reduced by 50% with Src inhibitor, but unaffected by inhibition of ERK1/2. 3) 12(S)-HETE stimulated spreading on fibronectin relies on ERK1/2 and PI3 kinase activities, but not on PKC or Src. 4) Focal adhesion kinase, a key organizer of focal adhesions, is tyrosine phosphorylated in response of 12(S)-HETE treatment, which requires Src, but not PKC, PI3 kinase or ERK1/2 activity. 5) Inhibition of 12 lipoxygenase leads to apoptosis in serum starved A431 cells. 12(S)-HETE stimulated p90Rsk and Akt, key players in an ERK and a PI3 kinase (respectively) dependent anti apoptotic pathways.
