Protein kinase G type-I phosphorylates c-Src at serine-17 and promotes cell survival, proliferation and attachment in human mesothelioma and non-small cell lung cancer cells

چکیده
Background Previously, we demonstrated that protein kinase G type-Ia (PKG-Ia) plays an important role in promoting cell survival in neural cells (N1E-115 neuroblastoma and NG10815 neuroblastoma-glioma hybrid cells) and significantly contributes to the serine-155 phosphorylation of BAD, an apoptosis-regulating protein [1]. We also found that PKGIa promotes cell survival and proliferation in mouse OP9 bone marrow stromal cells [2] and human ovarian cancer cells [3] [determined by using both pharmacological inhibitors (ODQ, DT-2 and DT-3) and gene knockdown (siRNA) to reduce PKG-Ia/b activity]. In the case of ovarian cancer cells, which predominantly express the PKG-Ia isoform, the pro-growth and pro-survival effects involved a novel interaction between PKG-Ia and the oncogenic protein c-Src [3]. For example, intracellular activation of PKG-Ia, assessed by VASP serine-239 phosphorylation, was dependent on c-Src-catalyzed tyrosine phosphorylation of PKG-Ia (i.e. VASP phosphorylation was blocked by Src inhibitors, SKI-1 or SU6656) and the intracellular activation of c-Src was (somehow) dependent on the kinase activity and expression levels of PKG-Ia (i.e. c-Src activation was decreased by DT-2 or siRNA-induced knockdown of PKG-Ia).

Melatonin Induced Schwann Cell Proliferation and Dedifferentiation Through NF-ĸB, FAKDependent but Src-Independent Pathways
Background: Peripheral nerve injury (PNI) is a common condition that compromises motor and sensory functions. Peripheral nerves are known to have regenerative capability and the pineal hormone, melatonin, is known to aid nerve regeneration. However, the role of Schwann cells and the pathways involved remain unclear. Thus, the aim of this study is to identify the effects of melatonin on Schwann ...

In addition to its antioxidant effect, Vitamin E or α–tocopherol is suggested to enhance remyelination in the animal model of non-inflammatory demyelination. In this study, the possible proliferative effect of vitamin E on human- induced pluripotent stem cell-derived neural progenitors (hiPS-NPs) and the underlying mechanisms were investigated in vitro. NPs were induced from iPS cells via 3 ste...
