Endothelin-1 (ET-1) has been shown to induce DNA synthesis in
primary astrocytes by stimulating the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) pathway. To clarify the mechanisms responsible for the
anchorage-dependent growth of astrocytes, the relationships between
cell adhesion and ERK activation were investigated. Here it is reported
that ET-1 promotes the formation of stress fibers and focal adhesions
and the tyrosine phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and
paxillin, as well as Src activation and association of phosphorylated
FAK with Grb2. Pretreatment of astrocytes with cytochalasin D or
C3-transferase, which inhibits actin polymerization or Rho activity,
respectively, prevented the activation/phosphorylation of Src, FAK, and
paxillin after ET-1 stimulation; by contrast, the ERK pathway was not
significantly affected. This differential activation of FAK/Src and ERK
pathways was also observed with astrocytes 10 and 60 min after
replating on poly-L-ornithine-precoated dishes.
Collectively, these findings indicate that activation of FAK and Src is
dependent on actin cytoskeleton integrity, Rho activation, and adhesion
to extracellular matrix, whereas ERK activation is independent of these
intracellular events and seems to correlate with activation of the
newly identified protein tyrosine kinase PYK2. Induction of DNA
synthesis by ET-1, however, was reduced dramatically in astrocytes
pretreated with either cytochalasin D or C3-transferase. This study
provides a demonstration of Rho- and adhesion-dependent activation of
FAK/Src, which collaborates with adhesion-independent activation of
PYK2/ERK for DNA synthesis in ET-1-stimulated astrocytes.
