Involvement of ERK1/2 Kinase in Insulin-and Thrombin-Stimulated Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Proliferation

Abstract: It is well recognized that the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) is a key event in the pathogenesis of various vascular diseases, including atherosclerosis and hypertension. We have previously shown that among extracellular signal-regulated protein kinases (ERKs), the 42- and 44-kDa isoforms (ERK1/2) participate in the cellular mitogenic machinery triggered by several VSMCs activators, including insulin (INS) and thrombin (Thr). However, understanding of the intracellular signal transductio… Show more

“…MEK1/2-ERK1/2 activation has been linked to mechanical stimulation-induced proliferation in diverse cell types, including chondrocytes (13,24,32). MEK1/2 activated ERK1/2, which functions as a final effector of signal transduction pathways and plays an essential role in cell proliferation, differentiation, and migration by directly activating transcription factors in the cytoplasm and nucleus (6,7,33). Ryan et al (9) reported that cyclic mechanical compression of articular cartilage induces chondrocyte proliferation by activation of the ERK1/2 pathway.…”

“…MEK1/2 and ERK1/2 exist in virtually all eukaryotic cells and control fundamental cellular functions (6)(7)(8). There is increasing evidence that MEK and ERK1/2 are involved in the regulation of chondrocyte proliferation, matrix synthesis, and migration in response to periodic mechanical stimulation (9)(10)(11)(12).…”

“…A high level of insulin can hyper activate this pathway leading to Warburg 543 effect and cancer (154). Insulin and thrombin are known to produce VSMC proliferation (155). It is 544 well known that IGF produce proliferation of SMC (156)(157)(158)(159).In this context one can see Insulin 545…”

“…More than half of the drugs currently in clinical use target GPCR by either mimicking endogenous GPCR ligands, blocking ligand access to the receptor or by modulating ligand production [14], which also represents the mechanism of action of sympatholytic and sympathomimetic drugs. Agonist-dependent desensitization of GPCR is caused by the phosphorylation of the specific receptor by the GRK family [15][16][17][18]. GRKs have a central catalytic domain flanked by amino-terminal and carboxyl-terminal domains which contain specific regulatory sites (Figure 1) [10].…”
