To determine whether contractile activity regulates nitric oxide synthase (NOS) expression, spontaneously contracting, neonatal rat ventricular myocytes (NRVM) were treat with L-type calcium channel blockers (nifedipine and verapamil) or myosin II ATPase inhibitors (butanedione monoxime (BDM) and blebbistatin) to produce contractile arrest. Both types of inhibitors significantly reduced iNOS but not eNOS expression, and also reduced NO(i) production. Inhibiting contractile activity also reduced focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and AKT phosphorylation. Contraction-induced iNOS expression required FAK and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI(3)K), as both PF573228 and LY294002 (10 μM, 24 h) eliminated contraction-induced iNOS expression. Similarly, shRNAs specific for FAK (shFAK) caused FAK knockdown, reduced AKT phosphorylation at T308 and S473, and reduced iNOS expression. In contrast, shRNA-mediated knockdown of PYK2, the other member of the FAK-family of protein tyrosine kinases, had much less of an effect. Conversely, overexpression of a constitutively active form of FAK (CD2-FAK) or AKT (Myr-AKT) reversed the inhibitory effect of BDM on iNOS expression and NO(i) production.

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a progressive and fatal disease that predominantly affects women. Sustained pulmonary vasoconstriction, excessive pulmonary vascular remodeling, in situ thrombosis, and increased pulmonary vascular stiffness are the major causes for the elevated pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) in patients with PAH. The elevated PVR causes an increase in afterload in the right ventricle, leading to right ventricular hypertrophy, right heart failure, and eventually death. Understanding the pathogenic mechanisms of PAH is important for developing more effective therapeutic approach for the disease. An increase in cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]cyt) in pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells (PASMC) is a major trigger for pulmonary vasoconstriction and an important stimulus for PASMC migration and proliferation which lead to pulmonary vascular wall thickening and remodeling. It is thus pertinent to define the pathogenic role of Ca2+ signaling in pulmonary vasoconstriction and PASMC proliferation to develop new therapies for PAH. [Ca2+]cyt in PASMC is increased by Ca2+ influx through Ca2+ channels in the plasma membrane and by Ca2+ release or mobilization from the intracellular stores, such as sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) or endoplasmic reticulum (ER). There are two Ca2+ entry pathways, voltage-dependent Ca2+ influx through voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels (VDCC) and voltage-independent Ca2+ influx through store-operated Ca2+ channels (SOC) and receptor-operated Ca2+ channels (ROC). This paper will focus on the potential role of VDCC, SOC, and ROC in the development and progression of sustained pulmonary vasoconstriction and excessive pulmonary vascular remodeling in PAH.","PeriodicalId":89176,"journal":{"name":"Journal of signal transduction","volume":"2012 ","pages":"951497"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1155/2012/951497","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"30969660","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They are composed of many different molecules including adhesion receptors, signaling proteins (e.g., kinases, phosphatases, and adaptor proteins), and structural proteins (e.g., actin-binding proteins) [1–3]. Adhesions are dynamic structures whose molecular composition and structure can undergo rapid changes to allow cells to respond to external signals [1, 4]. Indeed, this dynamic nature of adhesions within localized regions of cells is critical for many complex processes such as cell migration. \u0000 \u0000For cell-ECM adhesions, their assembly is initiated by the binding of integrin adhesion receptors to the ECM. These new adhesions can either disassemble, allowing cells to migrate, or continue to mature by recruiting signaling and structural proteins to these sites. The dynamics and composition of adhesions are controlled by signaling networks that function to integrate molecular signals from outside and within cells. This special issue focuses on the molecular signals that regulate adhesion dynamics with an emphasis on cell-ECM adhesions. \u0000 \u0000Integrins are transmembrane adhesion receptors that provide a functional link between the ECM and the actin cytoskeleton. Integrin engagement of the ECM serves to transduce signals to the interior of cells which regulate cell behavior. RGD-dependent integrins are a subgroup of adhesion receptors that specifically recognize the RGD motif, which is a three-amino-acid sequence (Arg-Gly-Asp) that is found in some ECM proteins. In this special issue, Y. D. Benoit et al. review recent findings regarding the importance of RGD-dependent integrins in epithelial cell homeostasis. Integrins also play important roles in blood clotting and wound healing by regulating platelet adhesion and aggregation. G. F. Guidetti and M. Torti discuss recent insights into the role of Rap1 in regulating platelet adhesion. Rap1 is a member of the Rap family of small GTPases and is a downstream effector of integrin signaling. A-Kinase-Anchoring Proteins (AKAP) are emerging as pivotal scaffolding proteins that bring together key signaling molecules to modulate cell migration. S. Akakura and I. H. Gelman provide insight into the regulation of AKAP12 and how it contributes to cell adhesion. Moreover, they discuss the scaffolding function of AKAP12 and its contribution to cell migration, maintenance of cytoskeletal architecture, cell proliferation, and cytokinesis. \u0000 \u0000While integrin-containing matrix contacts were first identified in classic focal adhesions, they have subsequently been shown to exist in other structures including podosomes and invadopodia.

Indeed, most ROS, including free radicals and peroxides, are produced at low level by normal aerobic metabolism and play an important role in the redox-dependent regulation of many signaling processes. In contrast, excessive accumulation of ROS, resulting from an imbalance between ROS production and scavenging, leads to a condition of oxidative stress that can cause extensive oxidative damage to most cellular components, including proteins, lipids, and DNA, and may have pathophysiological consequences. Remarkably, oxidative stress has been clearly implicated in aging and the pathogenesis of several human diseases, including cardiovascular, metabolic, inflammatory, and neurodegenerative diseases and cancer. Thus, ROS may function as friends or foes of signal transduction depending on specific threshold levels and cell context. \u0000 \u0000To highlight the important topics in this evolving field the Journal of Signal Transduction presents a special issue on the involvement of ROS in physiological and pathological signal transduction processes from prokaryotes to low and high eukaryotes. \u0000 \u0000In particular, the topics covered in this special issue include ROS-mediated signaling in bacteria (in the first paper), the mechanisms by which ROS affect Neurospora crassa light signal transduction (in the second paper), the interplay between ROS and mitochondria in the control of cell death and aging (in the third and fourth papers) and cancer progression (in the fifth and sixth papers), the role of ROS in nuclear transport (in the seventh paper), the interplay between ROS and Ras GTPases (in the eighth paper), the role of ROS in the crosstalk between integrins and cadherins (in the ninth paper), integrin signaling (in the tenth paper), and skeletal muscle signaling (in the eleventh paper).

Indeed, a group of SH3-containing accessory proteins, or adaptor proteins, have been identified that bind to a proline-rich domain of the C-terminal portion of Abl and modulate its kinase activity, substrate recognition, and intracellular localization.
