PG - 489-97 LID - 10.1042/BSR20110024 [doi] AB - Hypertonicity is a stressful stimulus leading to cell shrinkage and apoptotic cell death. Apoptosis can be prevented if cells are able to activate the mechanism of RVI (regulatory volume increase). This study in mIMCD3 cells presents evidence of a permissive role of the EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor) on RVI, achieved for the most part through the two main EGFR-triggered signalling chains, the MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase)/ERK (extracellular-signal-regulated kinase) and the PI3K (phosphoinositide 3-kinase)/Akt (also known as protein kinase B) pathways. Hyperosmotic solutions (450 mosM) made by addition of NaCl, increased EGFR phosphorylation, which is prevented by GM6001 and AG1478, blockers respectively, of MMPs (matrix metalloproteinases) and EGFR. Inhibition of EGFR, ERK (PD98059) or PI3K/Akt (wortmannin) phosphorylation reduced RVI by 60, 48 and 58% respectively. The NHE (Na(+)/H(+) exchanger) seems to be the essential mediator of this effect since (i) NHE is the main contributor to RVI, (ii) EGFR, ERK and PI3K/Akt blockers added together with the NHE blocker zoniporide reduce RVI by non-additive effects and (iii) All the blockers significantly lowered the NHE rate in cells challenged by an NH(4)Cl pulse. Besides reducing RVI, the inhibition of MMP, EGFR and PI3K/Akt had a strong pro-apoptotic effect increasing cell death by 2-3.7-fold. This effect was significantly lower when RVI inhibition did not involve the EGFR-PI3K/Akt pathway. These results provide evidence that Akt and its permissive effect on RVI have a predominant influence on cell survival under hypertonic conditions in IMCD3 cells. This role of Akt operates under the influence of EGFR activation, promoted by MMP.
