Pertussis toxin-sensitive activation of p21ras by G protein-coupled receptor agonists in fibroblasts

Abstract

Some agonists of G protein-coupled receptors, such as thrombin and lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), can promote cell proliferation via a pertussis toxin (PTX)-sensitive signaling pathway. While these agonists stimulate phospholipase C and inhibit adenylate cyclase, it appears that other, as-yet-unidentified, effector pathways are required for mitogenesis. Here we report that LPA and a thrombin receptor agonist peptide rapidly activate the protooncogene product p21ras in quiescent fibroblasts. This activation is inhibited by PTX and yet not attributable to known PTX-sensitive G protein pathways, including stimulation of phospholipases, inhibition of adenylate cyclase, or modulation of ion channels. LPA- and peptide-induced p21ras activation is inhibited by the tyrosine kinase inhibitor genistein, at doses that do not affect epidermal growth factor-induced p21ras activation. Thus, a heterotrimeric G protein of the Gi subfamily regulates activation of p21ras by LPA and thrombin, possibly through an intermediary tyrosine kinase. This pathway may critically participate in mitogenic signaling downstream from certain G protein-coupled receptors.
