PG - 726-34 AB - The signal transduction pathways modulating bFGF effects in renal tubular epithelial cells (RTEc) are not completely understood. Since the cAMP and the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways can modulate the growth of RTEc, we studied whether two cAMP elevating agents, isoproterenol and 8-bromo-cAMP, would modulate basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) induction of MAPK activity (ERK-2) and cell proliferation in human renal proximal tubular epithelial cells (RPTEc) and Madin-Darby canine kidney cells (MDCK clone EI1). Isoproterenol, but not bFGF, stimulated cAMP production in RPTEc and MDCKEI1 cells. bFGF, isoproterenol, and 8-bromo-cAMP alone increased ERK-2 activity in both cell types. However, isoproterenol and 8-bromo-cAMP partially inhibited the bFGF induction of ERK-2 activity, but only isoproterenol inhibited the proliferation of both cell types. PD098059 (25 microM), an inhibitor of MAPK kinase (MEK 1/2), blocked the bFGF mitogenic effects, but did not affect the 8-bromo-cAMP-induced mitogenic effects in MDCKEI1 cells. These findings suggest that activation of ERK-2 is required but not sufficient for mitogenesis in RTEc. We conclude that isoproterenol inhibits the growth-promoting effects of bFGF in RTEc via MEK-dependent and -independent pathways.
