摘要
Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and p38, members of the mitogen-activated protein kinase family of serine/threonine kinases, are activated as a result of cellular stress but may also play a role in growth factor-induced proliferation and/or survival or differentiation of many cells. A recent report has implicated JNK and p38 in the induction of apoptosis in the erythropoietin (EPO)-dependent erythroid cell line HCD57 following EPO withdrawal, whereas our previously reported data did not support a role for JNK in growth factor withdrawal-induced apoptosis in HCD57 cells. Therefore, further testing was done to see if JNK was activated in EPO withdrawal-induced apoptosis; the study was extended to p38 and characterized the effect of EPO on JNK and p38 activities, Treatment of HCD57 cells with EPO resulted in a gradual and sustained activation of both JNK and p38 activity; these activities decreased on EPO withdrawal, Transient activation of p42/p44 extracellular signal-related kinases (ERK) was also detected. Inhibition of ERK activity inhibited proliferation in EPO-treated cells but neither induced apoptosis nor activated JNK, Inhibition of p38 activity inhibited proliferation but did not protect HCD57 cells from apoptosis induced by EPO withdrawal, Treatment of HCD57 cells with tumor necrosis factor-alpha induced JNK activation but did not induce apoptosis. These results implicate JNK, p38, and ERK in EPO-induced proliferation and/or survival of erythroid cells but do not support a role for JNK or p38 in apoptosis induced by EPO withdrawal from erythroid cells, (C) 2000 by The American Society of Hematology.
